Great story and male narrator - hard to listen to the female.

This is one of the shorter stories but ties in nicely with a previous book. Always a good read with Grace Goodwin!

The male narrator is absolutely awesome, but the female is AI at its worst.

When I read the series again, I will definitely read this one rather than listen! Made it really hard to get through with her voice!!!

Good story, bad narration

Story is good but on the short side. Narration was flat, Kindle text to speech is comparable to the readers of this story.

Marked mate

I have to say I had hoped someday Marcio Catalano would one day narrate a book in this series, so I was soooo happy when I found out he actually narrated one. He is a hard working performer who brings the author’s work to life. It was not my favorite storyline in this series but it was still very enjoyable. This series never disappoints. Grace Goodwin is a well of creativity.

Very difficult to listen to

The story had a good story line but the female narrator had a horrible high pitched squeaky voice. I couldn't listen to the end of it. The male Narrator had a very nice voice. There choice for the female ruined the book

Had the plot to be much longer

First of these books to introduce a pet. The plot was very good and definitely had the bones for a longer storyline. Female narrator was the wrong one. Overall could have been a lot more enjoyable if longer.

Short but sweet

I enjoyed this short story. The narrators did a very good work. Loved the addition of the dog in the story as I love cats and dogs.

Disconnect

The ladies performance was the weakest part of this story, usually the performers can pull me into the story, there was a disconnect with her performance.

Short And Sweet

Although I thoroughly enjoy the lengthy books, I really enjoyed this story and the characters. It held my interest and didn’t drag out the suffering. Thumbs up to the romance!

Female reader is awful

Story is too short. female reader is aweful, she sounds inexperienced. story needed to be developed further.

Ai voice?

The story was short, but good. The male voice was lovely & his performance believable. The female tver was stilted & awkward. I see if it was a artificial intelligence or perhaps English is their second language. Her words were clear & used in the correct context, they just didn't flow naturally. Good story!
