His Perfect Match

A Small Town Southern Romance

By: Andrea Boyd

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you’re a thirty-year-old, Southern male from a Christian family and have never brought a girl home to meet Momma, then you must secretly be up to no good. And if you also happen to be an only son with five older, happily married sisters, the pressure to find the one and only love of your life is like digging through a pile of leaves for the pin to the grenade you’re holding.

Those were the first two lines of the first video post of Mark Griffin’s to go viral, and his popularity has steadily risen over the two years since. He decides to use his platform to find someone to share Valentine’s—and possibly the rest of his life—with. Those interested in a date will mail in a postcard so his non-computer savvy momma can pick a winner. Simple, right? At least it seemed so until he meets the girl of his dreams just minutes before receiving the first postcard.

Who knew a trip to the post office would bring Avigail Cohen face to face with her secret celebrity crush? Or that sparks would fly between them? But Mark’s there to pick up postcards from the thousands of women vying for a date with the man. How can she compete with that? Then Mark randomly shows up at her bakery to do a video review and the sparks ignite into a flame. Avi can't help but say yes when he asks her out. But as her feelings progress, Avi wonders how she can withstand him going out with another woman come Valentine’s Day.

Does Mark chance ruining his online reputation by ending the contest? Or does he hold off on building a relationship with the girl he feels a future with until after Valentine's?

The clearness and purity of the story.

I am not so sure about the AI voice. At times it seemed a bit monotone

Sweet Christian Rom Com

Virtual voice leaves something to be desired with inflection etc but not terrible. The storyline was different and sweet. Enjoyed this lighthearted romance with its Christianity on display.

Not as bad as the rating

I actually enjoyed the story although it was corny and preachy at times. The greatest negative about this selection is definitely the use of virtual narration. The virtual narration is bad, it made it difficult to listen too. I was barely able to commit to finishing book. There's a complete absence of emotion, inflection and at times it was challenging to distinguish which character in the story was speaking since there's no attempt to give the characters different sounding voices. Aside from that, the story wasn't bad.
