Scottish time loop

Toni Goode is a new author for me, and one I am looking forward to more stories from. I really like paranormal and time travel type stories. Toni did an excellent job with this one. I loved the narration! I think it enhanced the story. Duncan is stuck in a time loop, finding and then losing his love. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I enjoyed this one!

Toni Goode's "Duncan" really surprised me! I'm a sucker for paranormal romance, time travel, and especially a Highland warrior with a cursed love—so this hit all the right spots. The premise is both heartbreaking and intriguing. Duncan, a 500-year-old warrior, is trapped in a brutal time loop where he repeatedly watches the love of his life, Julia, die over and over again. It's equal parts tragic and gripping, with just enough mystery to keep you hooked. Toni Goode is a new author for me, but I’m excited to see what else she’s got up her sleeve!

As for the narration, George Ellington did a good job. His deep, rich voice brought Duncan’s pain and passion to life, and his Scottish accent made the whole experience that much better. I’m giving him 4 stars too because his performance added depth and emotion to the characters, but there were a couple of moments where the pacing felt a tad slow. Still, he enhanced the story and kept me invested.

Wonderful Story

The narrator did an excellent job of narrating Duncan's character and Mason's. Although the American friend of Julia's accent was a British one, it did not take away from the story because, she didn't have a big part in the book. I read the ebook version already and I enjoyed that. This narration brought the story more to life, I was able to picture everything going on as if I was there with the narrator. There was no confusion as to the different timelines either. There was plenty of action and you just felt bad for Julia at times. Overall it was a wonderful story and I can't wait for the next book in the series and hopefully that one will get an audible version as well. I was gifted this audiobook by the Author but I am voluntarily leaving my own opinion in this review.
