Series is finished!

When scandal is afoot and Vicki leaps in to solve a murder, you know it’s gonna be big.

‘Cause this here’s Texas.

Don’t you dare call Victoria Bohanan a debutante. That cozy life is firmly in her rearview mirror after striking out on her own. Nowadays she’ll earn every penny of that twenty dollar tip by guessing your favorite drink faster than you can belly up to the bar. Sharp wits have gotten her out of more than one disastrous affair.

Until the mouth sinks her right into another.

When an old high school flame returns to town with a pastorate position lodged under his belt, life becomes tangled. This time it’s not between the sheets. Quicker than Vicki can score a shot of Jack, her former boy toy is embroiled in a mystery guaranteed to implode the megachurch his parents built and send the gossiping gaggle into a tailspin faster than a quarterback sack on Sunday.

She’s smart. She’s sexy. With an attitude the size of Texas only a mother could love. But when the cow chips are down, Vicki’s the one to uncover the killer and solve the case of who murdered the preacher’s wife.

Join the laugh-out-loud capers in book one of the Bartender Babe Chronicles that readers of Janet Evanovich are calling the Texas Stephanie Plum. Light among humorous mysteries and romantic comedies and long on—well as they say, everything’s bigger in Texas.

Cute story

I would have enjoyed it better with a real person narrating instead of virtual voice.

The AI reader is pure awful

It’s a cute story, but the AI reading is so choppy and lacks inflection and nuance that I just couldn’t continue to listen

Could be funnier if read by a human.

The story is good but the virtual reader detracts from the humor. Timing and pronunciations are incorrect.

awful narration ruins the story

Good story, but it is completely ruined by the AI generated narration. There is far too little difference between the voices of the characters, and everything is monotone.

Stop with Virtual Voice

I've yet to see one book with virtual voice have good reviews. unfortunately this is one book that also won't get a good review. its advertised as funny romance mystery but the reading is so monotone, that it's boring. if I could give the performance 0 stars I would. we need real people who read with emotion. I was confused at one part of the book because I couldn't figure out which character was talking because they all sound the same in the same tone

Lose the computer voice!

The computer voice takes away from the book so bad i could hardly get through it. It was a good story just hard to listen to.

Horrible AI Narrator

AI has a long way to go. Good thing it was free or I would want my money back.

AI Awful

AI just doesn’t cut it. The story might have been okay?? But couldn’t get past the stupid voice. Prosody was unnatural and you could never tell who was talking.

Virtual voice was terrible

When I read what this book was about, I was looking forward to a good comedy. But instead, the virtual voice made it into such a monotone when they were so many opportunities to make the book coincide with the theme. I will not listen to any more bookswith virtual voice.

Good story.

Audio was AI of some sort, voice was mechanical and without nuance. Very difficult to listen to.
