A lot of pointless dialogue

Revisado: 07-02-24

This is my second, and likely my last, story by this author. Foil Hearts was the first. I get hopeful because the premise seems great, then I start to get to know the characters and find them to be prone to unnecessary conflict, and then am exhausted from their pointless dialogue that tries so hard to hold up the story but just can’t.

Beautifully and faithfully performed

Revisado: 12-10-23

I forgot how often Anne’s story makes me cry and how lovely her journey is. The cast was perfect and I’m only sorry that the remaining stories in the series are not here with the performers in continuation of their roles. Hopefully, soon.

One of my favorite stories/series

Revisado: 07-11-23

I love the full series and consider all three books to make one complete story rather than as standalone books. Tor Thom has a great reading voice and timber; However, I did find that the way he would pause could sometimes blur the distinction between what comprised narrative vs dialogue. His vocal range isn’t broad, so be aware that it’s not easy to be certain which character is speaking (or expressing thoughts) if that is important to you in an audiobook. If you know the books well enough from having read them, then his reading won’t present a barrier to enjoying the audio!

Don’t buy this book

Revisado: 06-19-23

This book really was a big disappointment for me because the continuation of the story in book 2 did not provide the character Kelly with any personal growth. He’s pretty toxic and mentally unhealthy in ways I’d hoped would come to resolution by the ending of book 2; However, no such luck. He stays awful and the reader is left flabbergasted as to why Blue would want to be in any kind of relationship with him.

Disappointing

Revisado: 06-19-23

I bought this duet during the sale and loved the premise and performers. Unfortunately, the MC Kelly was one of the worst devised characters. Indecisive, manufacturing drama and problems for Blue to deal with, and gaslighting Blue most of the time. It made the story of this successful, Bi-awakened football star (Blue) completely unbelievable because there’s no circumstance in which he would want to put up with being in a relationship with such a basket case. That he is choosing to commit to a toxic partnership just makes this less a romance and much more of a tragedy.

Loved this audio version but..,

Revisado: 06-07-23

It would have been better for the two narrators to conference on how they intended to represent each others characters. River was done well by both but the narrator for River put his own twist on Holden when speaking lines for him that really jolted me out of the story because it was nothing like what the narrator actually playing Holden chose to do.

Canned story, nothing original or interesting

Revisado: 01-12-23

This really was a repetition of every M/M romance where the author isn’t relying on a good plot and is instead seeking opportunities for setup of an explicit scene. If that’s your thing, you’ll probably like this. I didn’t care much for it and found it boring. The narrators were excellent though, so there’s that at least.

Love the story, dislike the narrator

Revisado: 05-25-22

I love and adore Alexis Hall and have quite a few of their stories in my audible library that I listen to on repeat. This, I’m sad to say, won’t be one. This is not because of the story itself, which is excellent and as well constructed as I’d hope, but entirely on the shoulders of the narrator who does no justice to the characters. There are awkward pauses that come out of nowhere mid-conversation, the character voices for the females sounds strained and uncomfortable, and there seems to be very little emotional range in the narrator’s toolbox.
I’ll likely borrow a library copy to read instead so I can enjoy the story with my own inner narrator. Disappointed.
