Forty, Flirty & Fired

A Relatable Billionaire Boss Romantic Comedy

De: Lacey Monroe

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"Immediately addictive story that pulls you in from the first sentence to the last!"

Fired on my birthday, then I drenched my arch-nemesis in champagne...

I crashed my old company's gala for revenge, but things took a surprising turn when Alexander Drake, Seattle's hottest billionaire tech CEO, hired me instead of arresting me!

But there's one problem: my tweet calling him out is going viral...

---
"You fired me. Today. On my birthday."

"Technically, the board fired you. I just had the pleasure of witnessing the aftermath." I reach for a napkin from a nearby waiter's tray, who looks like he can't decide whether to help or run away. "And I have to say, your exit strategies are... memorable."

Someone in the crowd actually laughs. Probably the same person who said "Oh snap!" earlier. I make a mental note to find them later and either fire them or give them a raise.

Mackenzie crosses her arms. "And what makes you think I'd want to work for the company that just gutted mine?"

"Because you care more about the developers than your pride." I meet her gaze, champagne be damned. "And because you know that changing things from the inside is more effective than throwing champagne from the outside. Though I have to admit, the champagne made quite a statement."

Her mouth twitches. Just slightly. But it's enough.

Only a few chapters in… and ugh

This is AI read it is awful. I am continuing because I do like the story line but it is awful listening. I hope this isn’t the future of audio books because it is nails on a chalkboard bad.

AI narrative was terrible

AI narrative is awful. It was very difficult to know who was speaking and I got annoyed with the ancillary characters.

Cute story, robot narration

This is a very cute story about finding love after 40 in the workplace. The side characters are hilarious and keep the book entertaining. This is a slow burn open door romance, but that is the part of the book flops completely. It is written in a mechanical way and lacks emotion or realism. The scene felt stuck in the book and was just meh. The ending is worth the listen/read.

As for the narration, it is literally done by a robot and lacks any and all emotion. You cannot tell when Alex is speaking vs Meg. Sometimes the emphasis in a sentence is completely wrong and changes the meaning of the sentence. couldn't believe how bad it was for the cost.

Did AI write this book?

Wow. Just. Wow. The writing is so bad it’s like they asked AI to write this story. Very repetitive. If I had a dollar for every time revolution or revolutionary was said I’d be a millionaire. And the AI narrator voice was terrible. So robotic. Save yourself the wasted time and skip this one.
