Uncovering Her Cravings

Big City Small World, Book 1

By: Rae Shawn

Narrated by: Jaqueline Rhys

One night she called a mistake, but he's never forgotten... Leilani Mitchell is obsessed with happily ever after … as long as it comes in a book, so becoming a social media manager for a publishing company was a no-brainer. It's safer and less complicated than real life. Seeing her dad alone after her mother’s death made her promise herself the best way to never lose love was to never go looking for it in the first place.

But when her friend asks her to be her maid of honor and partners her with the man who turned her world upside down in one night, the next six months will be torture.

Alexander Rutherford has crushed on his older sister’s best friend for more years than he cares to mention. But even after sharing one passionate night together, she still keeps him at an arm's length. Now that he's a successful business owner, he's out to prove he's worthy of her heart.

Leilani does her best to stamp out the fire his touch kindles in her, but the more time she spends with him the more she craves a happy ending that doesn't come from a book.

The voiceover over

I would rate this voice-over actress a solid 10 out of 10! Her voice is incredibly soft and sensual, effortlessly drawing you in with its warmth and alluring tone. Each word she delivers feels like a gentle embrace, making her performances truly captivating. I can't wait to hear her next project; I'm sure it will be just as enchanting as her previous work!

A Tension that Simmers

A great story line that that pulled you into the lives of Alex and Leilani. Loved how the author truly told a story that allowed you feel as though you were a part of their lives. The narration was top tier and I loved that the narrator was able to give each character a unique voice throughout the entire reading. The combination of the story and the narrator made this story come to life and pulled the listener into the world of the characters. Look forward to future projects from both the narrator and the author.

A Slow burn

Firstly I really enjoyed the narration. One thing about audio titles that have been hard for me to get into is the chosen tones some narrators take when distinguishing gender. I wasn’t distracted at all by the performance and felt it was honest and true to the characters. Alex and Lelani’s story is a slow burn that starts off hot and heavy. I appreciated the way the story unfolded and allowed us to learn the motivations of how/why each character acted. Definitely will be recommending to all my book groups!
