Why Does the Female Narrator Have THAT Accent?

Let me just say that I was wrong, so very wrong. Let me explain.

I purchased this ebook on October 14, 2020 because of the cover alone. It was so gorgeous I couldn’t not have it in my collection. I then saw the author at the Atlanta Kick Back in June of 2021 and purchased the paperback, because once again it was just a beautiful cover. However I continued to put off reading this book because I was intimidated by the page count of over 400.

Fast forward to January 2022 when I finally dove into this masterfully written slow burn read of young love. I feel like I cheated myself out of the wonder that was held in these pages by continuing to put it off. Don’t be like me. Take the time to read or listen to the tale of Claudette (Clo) and Dominic's (Nic) journey into adulthood and love.

This is Rae Lyse’s first published work and her pen isn't to be played with!! 5 Stars for the story itself. Now as for the narration the male narrator was fine but the female narrator was borderline offensive as a person that was not only raised in the southeast but someone that grow up in metro Atlanta it was a lot with the accent. Very distracting so much so that I stopped going to the narration of the story during her readings to avoid the "southern" accent she put on. I believe she is coming back for the 3rd installment of the series my hope is that the accent is not has pronounced. Over all the performance was a 3 star because of it.

Not so classic hood love story

This is such a love story not a classic one but a love storm non the less. I enjoy every minute of it.

Hands down worth the credit

Once you read this you will continue to reading the entire series and you’ll love it

So good

I enjoyed listening to this book very much. I loved hearing how he finally was going to do what was best for him and his daughter at the end.

I wanted them to win

This story had me in my feelings. They both were from broken households. They didn't know what to do with there attraction. She gave her all and eventually he understood what love was. I wanted to see them win. It didn't disappoint.
