Gilded Mess

Three Bears Duet (Cheeky Fairy Tales, Book 1)

By: Colette Rhodes

Narrated by: Bridget Bordeaux, Jake Bordeaux

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears....

Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters.

Potayto, potahto.

The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

Love at first sight just kidding

This was a good first half she fell for them but was trying not to, she won two of the brothers took longer for older one

Awful Narrator

I cannot count how many times I wanted to put down this book down all because of the male narrator. Female narrator was awesome and the only reason I stuck it out. He was just awful. He says every single sentence with the same monotone inflection. At first I hoped it was just his voice for the older grumpy mmc. But no, every male character sounded exactly the same... like an angry cartoon bear who's only recently learned how to use his words.

The story was enjoyable though with a few very funny moments. It starts off great but I found the second half disappointing. I guess I didn't realize it would end in a cliffhanger with no real resolution. I am curious what happens next but I will never know as I can't listen to his narration any further.

Bears!!🐻

Ends with a Cliffhanger! Pretty good rewriting of the three bears. We don't get very deep into the story before it ends in a cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing what happens in the rest of the story. Three bog sexy bears and one ditzy girl. Narration is outstanding!
