Great Read

I truly enjoyed this book this was a great story. I can’t wait to read more from this series of standalone stories.

Not gonna happen again!

As much as I hated that Adele had to live through what she did, she came out on the other side stronger and braver than imaginable. I love that Stefano was man enough to realize what he needed to do to win Adele and her “brothers” over. Her brothers, yeah they are something else! Love each one of them. Their reaction to Stefano first seeing Adele, was classic big brother!

Still not a fan of virtual voice, but I gotta take what I get.

Loved it!

Even though I don’t like virtual voice, I still gave it a read. The overall storyline and plot were great. I just think it’ll be a better listening experience if someone actually narrated it. ✌🏾💙

Virtual Voice

I really like the story. I can do without the virtual voice. I would prefer the story be performed by real men and women.

The main characters

The narrator had no voice reflection for as far as projecting the emotions the characters expressed. There was only one tone throughout the entire audible.

Robotic at best

Virtual narration had no emotion, no change in voice tone especially for the men. I listen to the entire story to give virtual a try and to see if it would get better. It DID NOT! The narration made the story completely unrealistic, no emotional connection to the romance between the lead characters. Also, not enough romantic development between the leads.

Based on this. I will not bother with virtual again. I prefer when it’s two live, human narrators, a male and female.

That’s my 2 pennies!!

The AI ruined it

I wanted to finish this book so much because I love these type of storylines but the AI voice wasn’t doing the book Justice! The voice was robotic at times, cracking weird sounding. Nope don’t even wasted ya credit like I did

I prefer human narrators.

I liked the story but not the generated voice. The AI voice just doesn’t cover emotional nuances. So sometimes you had to review in your mind if you made the correct interpretation because the inflection was off.

Thankfully it was short and free

It was ok. Kinda cheesy. It seemed like an authors first foray into writing. The opening scene will definitely be a domestic violence trigger. The narration was computer generated 🤖🤢. Thank goodness it was short and free. I’m disappointed with the selection in the audible plus collection. Starting to wonder if it’s worth the 💰 💰 💰 💰

Horrible voice.

It doesn’t sound like it’s being read by an actual human being. The inflections are all over the place and they don’t make sense. Parts that are supposed to be emotional sound terribly unrealistic because of the voice and that’s just the audio. The storyline itself is so bare bones that it really is a forgettable listen.
