About this listen
Struggling West Village singer Roxie Raines stumbles through a secret basement doorway in 2019, and time-slips back to New York’s raucous Roaring Twenties. While she dazzles the speakeasy crowds with her “modern sound,” she gets trapped in the dangerous web of Frankie Shay, an evil club owner. She struggles to escape his control and return to the basement doorway that sent her to 1925.
When she meets the handsome detective, Jake Kane, it’s love at first sight, but Jake has a secret past, and her own time travel secret makes him suspicious.
Roaring Twenties New York comes alive with flappers, gangsters, romance and speakeasies and Roxie’s stunning rise to stardom could come with the price of losing both the man she loves and her own life.

The story is very good. I have enjoyed all by Mrs. Elyse and Mr Douglas. Especially the time travel.
I don’t like virtual voice but am getting used to it so I gave it a little higher rating. I can definitely sleep to it as it is like having someone sitting there reading a bedtime story. The pronunciation definitely needs tweaking. I hope the authors will go back to living narrators when they are able.

VV Narration ruined it for me
I'm familiar with Elyse Douglas' work and have enjoyed many of her TT stories.
It was regrettable that this particular work of hers was combined with a Virtual Voice narration. It (VV) was an uninspired and flavourless performance that detracted from the story making it tedious to follow. Given the narration I could not get 'into' the story. Gave up after 2 hours.
So I give Virtual Voice a 1 Star rating for performance even though it deserves Zero.
I have not given up on Douglas. I will look for other of her books. Hopefully she will stay away from VV.
