About this listen

A hilarious tropical romp: When stagnation threatens the future of her beloved island, mayor Holly goes head-to-head with the community’s elderly retirees. With secrets swirling, family drama brewing, and an ex-boyfriend hanging around, can Holly find a way to save her slice of paradise?

With her beloved island's future on the line, Mayor Holly Baxter must choose between progress and the status quo, and she'll go up against a small army of golf cart driving retirees to do it. Throw in some major family drama, long-kept secrets, and the complication of a new romance that sparks under the watchful eye of her ex, the island's only cop, and Holly realizes that—in life, and in love—there's always a catch!

the story was cute

the story line is really cute. it would have been much better if it was read by a human. The AI has no emotion.

AI

The story was a light, fun tail. However, the robotic voice took something away from the story. there was no emotion in the reading.

A cute book

The story wasn’t bad, maybe a little cheesy at times. I wasn’t sure how I’d like the virtual voice and it wasn’t the best, but not the worst either. I would definitely prefer a human with some inflection, some emotion, but it wasn’t awful.

The AI is terrible on this one

I like the story but the AI needs fixing. Nice light easy story to listen to.

Better than I thought!

I stayed away from the computer voice for a long time, but decided to give it a try. Totally got used to it but giggled every time she said things with a lisp. Story was good and I'm onto number 2!

Boo for mechanical voice

It was hard to listen to the mechanical voice without expression. The story seemed to have merit and appeared interesting, but couldn't get involved with the characters. Boo against the lifeless voice reading the story. I listen to alot of stories but couldn't get kuch past the first chapter.
