I don't like Virtual Voice

Revisado: 12-08-24

The voice changes very little with characters or emotions.
When a character stutters, it says the letter instead of its sound. ("W-what?" becomes "Double-you what?")
The voice doesn't pause at "..." points. ("I... sorry" becomes "I sorry." If I didn't read the Kindle story, I would have thought the character's English was not their first language.)

Nice Clean Series

Revisado: 09-26-21

I wish the rest of the books were in sets. One credit or $9.99 is a lot to spend on a three hour book.

Just started today, so...

Revisado: 07-28-21

The narrator mispronounced the author's name. I'm a fan of his cooking shows and his name is pronounced RYKE-lin (rhymes with "like")
There's cussing in Book Chapter 2
Did not finish

It's a good series. Funny moments. Minor cursing.

Revisado: 04-20-21

BJ Harrison is a good narrator. I like the way he voices the older females Corette, Birdie, Alice and Gertrude. Most male narrators are awful with female characters. Cole doesn't have an accent (his father does), which I thought maybe he lost by becoming a teacher. But in subsequent books he has a North Carolina drawl. The cursing isn't different from what's heard on television these days. At least it isn't vulgar.

Didn't like the narration

Revisado: 01-23-21

His voice is so deep and gravelly, and the characters almost sound the same, even the females. Dual narration with a female artist would be better.

Great clean romance. No cussing. A few errors

Revisado: 01-10-21

Book 1: They need to redo the narration. She calls Ramon (ra-MOAN) the casino employee "Ray-mon". Gwen Alder's last name is called "Adler". At one point she's called "Grace Adler" who was the title character of the NBC comedy Will & Grace.

Book 3: Narrator pronounces Curacao (KUR-a-saow) as "ka-RAH-ko"

Book 5: In the description, Roland's last name is Baker. In the story, his last name is Kirk. I thought it was another narration error, but it's the same in the Kindle version.

Contains foul language

Revisado: 01-07-21

I counted around 20 instances of cursing, but I don't think I found them all. At least the love scenes aren't vulgar. I like the dual narration.

Contains foul language

DNF at page 10. They need to put a disclaimer in the description so I don't waste time downloading something I don't want to hear

Contains foul language

Revisado: 12-20-20

They need to put a disclaimer in the description so I don't waste time or money on something I don't want to hear. I let one go in Chapter 6, but by Chapter 10, I was really into the story, but the cussing happened more frequently. That wasn't fair. If I had known ahead of time, I wouldn't have selected it. Can't they make edited versions of these things? I really like the story and I want to know how it ends, but I can't stand reading/listening to foul language. I get enough of it at work.

Odd narration

Revisado: 12-13-20

The female sounds almost robotic in narrator mode but sounds okay in dialog. The male's voice is gravelly in narrator mode but sounds okay in dialog. I wish they did their gender's voices in dialog.
