Light Drama and Romance

This was a beautiful love story with ups and downs. Very tasteful for teens and adults.

Narration

Ok story. The automated voice read is just too stilted and choppy. Automation can’t replace good voice actors.

I love reading books by Tonya Kappes

The story line was as enjoyable as any of her books that I’ve either read or listened to on Audible. The choice to have it narrated by a virtual reader was beyond disappointing. In fact, had this been my first book by this author I never would’ve completed it!

Not quite ready

The story is entertaining but the performance is mediocre. There are mispronunciations, times in which I can’t tell which character is speaking and places in which portions of sentences that should have been deleted are left in the manuscript.

How Romantic and Full of Love!

This was a winner for me, especially since I’m a romantic at heart! It was educational too; I loved learning about the flowers. The ups and downs and misunderstandings were nail biters but….ah, I don’t want to give you any spoilers. Make sure you get this book, it could even be read as a standalone!
