Solid romance with a good heroine

This is a tough one. I love the strong female leads in Joanna Shupe’s work, but I sometimes have trouble fully connecting with the romance. Not sure what it was. This one was steamy-ish, fine banter, good character development, fun situations. Maybe it was something about the pacing. I finished this one, but more slowly than I normally do. And I didn’t have trouble putting it down. Basically: a fun light read to keep you busy when you don’t want your sleep ruined by a page-turner.

The Narrator Gets Lucky

The narrator really made me stick it out and read til the end. I love Joanna Shupe's work but this series has been a bit slow or just hard for me to get through. I will say I enjoyed this book far more than the first in the series.

Loved the Plot

I enjoyed the story as a whole. The plot was well developed and I liked the characters. My problem was with the voices. The narration was fine, but the voices needed improvement. It was such a distraction that I considered not finishing the book.

Too Long but Good

The narrator was difficult to listen to. Her female voices sounded like a 12 yr old girl. her attempt at male voice just sounded fake.

Lady becomes a vixen

Very fun book, Enjoyed the lessons given by the hero nice slow burn with sweet ending. I didn't really like the narrator's male voice and pace but I did get used to it. Another solid Shupe book!
