Good Story

I love Juno Wells, This was a good story about Hope and Larok. Hope is a human who volunteered for the bride program, on her way to her new world her ship was attacked. As one of the attackers starts in on a younger women, Hope yells at him to leave her alone, and so they jettisoned hope into space. Hope is saved by Larok a Draconian Warrior and the adventure begins. Narrators David Reed and Lesley Braun did a great job with the story and characters.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

My favorite series!!

I’m so happy to finally have my favorite series on audio book! But I do have to admit the narrators aren’t the best. It isn’t that they don’t have pleasant sounding voices, they do and the voices sound perfect for each character. The issue is that the narrators aren’t narrating but instead they’re reading out loud. It’s odd in some places when the inflection is off, but it does make for good bedtime reading. It’s easy to fall asleep while listening to the story being read aloud.

so happy this series is finally coming out!

I read this series and love it!! can't wait for the rest! love Juno Wells and would highly recommend.

great book bad reader

I love these books. I have all of them. but the guy who read them uses an inflection that makes everything sound like a question. Even when a statement should be there. it is truly horrific to listen to him and destroyed my perception of the book.

good story, eh narration

The story was pretty good. if you enjoy alien/sci-fi romance stories, this one is pretty good. it was especially interesting to read of an alien species where women are dominant. It was a nice change compared to the usual alpha male alien series (nothing wrong with alpha males, just nice to have some variety).

My issue is with the narration. The female narrator is good, but the guy drives me nuts. His deep voice is ok, but his phrasing and intonation are horrific. it completely grated on my nerves to hear him end every phrase, not just sentence, but phrase, with an upward lilt to his voice. Also, his phrasing sometimes made it difficult to tell when he had moved to another sentence, making a lot of the story sound like run-on sentences. It was bad enough for me not to finish listening to the book, and I ended up finishing it on kindle instead. I would totally support having this book re-recorded with a different male narrator. If they record the rest of the series, which I hope they do, PLEASE use a different male narrator!!!!
