Just Wow

This short series is so intriguing. I love the under story that is carried throughout the series. Though a fictional story the substance of the story rings true for black culture.

Love love no drama

I love that it’s no drama in this book. It is such a relief. I expected it at every turn but the anticipation calmed and I relaxed. This book is an easy love and ready to love. An example of soft peace

omg, it was amazing, I glade yo know it was no cheating and negative

🤍🤍🤍

I really enjoyed Zola and Khalil. There connection and getting to know each other while not knowing they were actually working together was cute. I think the narrator’s did an excellent job.

Heartwarming!

I absolutely loved this series! Great performance by Shari and Leon! Two of my favorite narrators on Audible. Awesome story. Kept me engaged.

Very Good Listen

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I have to the actual book and when I saw it was on audio I had to get it. The narrators did very good. They brought Zola and Khalid characters to life.

Narrators

The the story was pretty good but both narrators was simply awful!!! I’m so sick of Leon Nixon narrating with something in his mouth. I’m sick of hearing him breathe every time he pause. I usually avoid books that list Nixon as the narrator and after this narration I will continue to avoid. Only to hear Shari Peele doing that same mess. She was reading like she had something in her mouth too. AND I don’t want to hear her swallowing. Who is producing this mess?I’m about to put Ms Peel on my list too. SMH Author’s please stop using these two…SERIOUSLY!

Great Short!

This was my first time listening to this author. She did a great job on this short! I will be looking for more audio books from her. Great Narration!

Sweet Love Story

This was a sweet love story with good narrators. It was micely written and kept your attention.

Slow Smolder, Long Throaty Narrators

I tried but zoned out several times during the listen because of all of the backstory, unnecessary description, and random details without any action. It takes forever for them to meet, especially for short book. I was 8 chapters in before they said hello. The relationship between Zola and Khalil was rushed and sped through to explore more of the friend and family connections.
Narration
Zola is 25 but the narrator sounded mature and made the young phrasing of some wording sound awkward. Her voice may also be the reason that the love scenes were bland, she sounded like she was explaining the logistics of lovemaking from a text book versus being the character who enjoyed it. I didn't have any complaints about the male narrator.

All in all, it was a decent listen until something great comes along. I don't feel like I wasted my $. I just kept waiting for it to get good, like does something amazing for the family that the author spends so much time explaining, or for a twist, like one of the homeboys was her sister baby daddy, or something memorable, like he buys her an entire radio station or the record shop that she loves, but it was just alright. Standard romance to take up the time and everyone has the right to be average.
