The Garden of Eden: A Romance Standalone

By: Millie Belizaire

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Eden is an R&B superstar who has lost her passion for music. Andrew is a pastor who doesn't believe in God. Although for different reasons, both of them move through life with an enormous amount of pressure on their backs.

On the night of her concert in New Orleans, Eden sneaks out of an afterparty and mistakes Andrew's car for her ride home. Despite the fact that Eden claims she's famous, Andrew's never heard of her and he doesn't care that she's stranded.

Eden's not used to people saying no to her. And that's exactly what Andrew does, marking the beginning of a journey neither of them saw coming.

Andrew and Eden are unlike each other in many ways, but both are dealing with their own demons. Just as their issues threaten to crumble them both, they find each other.

This is a standalone.

Storyline was great

This was definitely a slow-burn romance, but I loved it so much. 🥹 I couldn’t stop listening! The AI isn’t great but it won’t stop me from listening to another book by this author!

Loved it!

The story is long but it is well written and very natural. My first book from this author but I will be looking for more. The AI narration was a bit monotone but the story was good enough for me to hang in there.

Very Good Book....Slow Burn! Loved it!

highly recommend this book, nice relaxing storyline that doesn't take you through to many emotions. It is a bit confusing in the beginning solely due to the ai voice which makes it hard to understand which charcter is talking, it eventually becomes easier to navigate once the characters develop and you get use to the ai voice. Despite the ai voice it's worth the listen/read.

Honey I'm in love lol.

the AI wasnt even that bad. I am really surprised honey. OMG I loved everything about this book. I'm not mad at the Virtual Voice ok, I can listen. It was a lovely story and I cant wait to listen to more. 👏🏾🙏🏾💜🥰

Great story

The virtual voice lacked emotion, inflection where needed. The nuances were missing in the tone. Flat delivery.
The story was lovely very well written loved it.

Great story

Really good story. This is the first bare able AI book I’ve heard so far.

The story is beautiful

Aside from the horrible audio, I pushed through to finish this beautiful story. I have really enjoyed Ms. Belizaire’s other books. The Collide Series had me in a hold where I couldn’t stop. However, this one focusing on a minor character from that series, really resonated with me and has me thinking about the trauma, the relationship, AND the triumph well after I finished the book. I loved the story, but not the audio. Please stop using the computer voice narration, I almost didn’t read it because of it.

Worth The Listen!!!

I was so skeptical about the AI narrator… and there were moments where I was like, “come on now” but the story was so good! I felt all of the feelings. I loved the perspective that was presented by Drew regarding his lack of faith/religion. I’m a devout Christian and I know how some “church folk” can make it difficult to believe. This story was very well written.

Really Good Story

I truly enjoyed this story! It took just a little getting used to the virtual computer reading, but it didn’t take away from the story.

Great storyline!

Great storyline. I’m not a fan of auto-narrated books. Sometimes the voice was a bit monotone.
