She Does It Again

I always love to listen to R. S. Grey’s audiobooks. She does a good job choosing the actor for the character. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed. I really liked the story, but the only thing that I will say negative about it is that I wished we would’ve had Walter‘s POV rather than Elizabeth’s the entire book. That’s unusual for this author as she usually has a POV for both characters. I don’t know what made her decide to do it this way.

Saying that, it still didn’t take away the sweet storyline. It’s not a story that hasn’t been told before, but it still was entertaining, not to mention thar both main characters were likable. I liked the wittiness and spunkiness of Elizabeth. She made me laugh as she irritated Walt with not listening to his demands. She was a tough girl, yet she was still somebody that you can imagine having as a friend.

Walt was the typical “I’m too busy to care” rich guy. Although he comes across as a complete jerk, there’s signs of his gentleness when it comes to Elizabeth.

I really enjoyed both narrators. This is the first time I’ve heard Aubrey Vincent. She did a great job with all the different voices that she had come up with in the book. I wish Alexander could’ve had more speaking parts. I could actually hear his smile as he voices Walt.

Delish Story!

I loved the story and Aubrey was an awesome narrator. The story was sweet and rich with detail and I binge listened to it all day. I was all tingly at the end and then the Walt voice came on and it was so abrupt and off that I nearly fell out of bed. It was bad. The producers should have gotten a smooth sophisticated voice not one that’s better fitted for a gangster story. The kid voices were absurd. I gave it 5 stars for Aubrey’s performance!

not the best

I usually really like this author but this was not her best. I could not connect with either character. you don't hear much from Walt but what you learn about him through Elizabeth I was not impressed with. there was no connection in their relationship. Elizabeth was very immature and bratty until the end. I waited for her to mature and stop expecting Walt to do all the work but nope, she is insecure and immature the ENTIRE book. I dont know why Walt even finds her appealing. she runs away from conflict and expressing herself. It's just not an interesting story unfortunately.

Easy listen

This was a fun and low level drama story. Aubrey was a new narrator for me and I really liked her. The male narrator is horrible but thankfully he only does the epilogue so it didn’t ruin the story for me. If I had to listen to him throughout the whole book, I might have had to stop listening. The only thing that was missing was some kind of closure or resolution with her horrible family.

Disappointed

There was two readers listed but we only hear the H in epilogue. I am soooo disappointed. If I’ve known, I wouldn’t pay for it. I’m glad I got it on sale. I listened to seven chapter and call it quit. It will stay in my library which sucks!

Wonderful arranged marriage story

I really loved the humor in the story. The story made me laugh. I loved the woman voice performance better then the guy at the end. I definitely will listen to this audible again

The heroine: Elizabeth - she is an artist who recently finished graduate school. She comes from a fairly wealthy family and gets a call from her mother who is disturbed that her sister ran away with her driver. Her mother was upset because her sister was supposed to marry Walter Jennings, and now that her sister can’t do the job, she wants Elizabeth to marry him instead because her father spent all their money on bad investments. It turns out her sister lied about running away with the driver, but she doesn’t find out till it's too late.

The Hero: Walt - He is a billionaire (the .01 percent of the 1 percent) and is the CEO of Diamedica, a medical device company. His grandfather and Elizabeth’s grandfather started the company and they set up a trust so the next generation wouldn’t spend all the money and bankrupt them and the company. It is a good thing they did, because Elizabeth’s father is terrible with money and Walt’s father is an alcoholic.

The Story: The trust requires someone from each of their families to get married, at which point the money from the trust is released. Walt is the conservator of the trust and made a deal with Elizabeth’s parents that they would get a stipend from the trust after he and Elizabeth got married. Elizabeth would also get a stipend, but she doesn’t want it. She lived under her parents' thumbs for so long that she now wants to live within her own means.

I liked this story, and the character of Elizabeth, who is down to earth despite her wealthy roots. Though she got pushed into this marriage without knowing anything about the trust or its stipulations. She had one days' notice before she had to show up to the courthouse and Walt was so stiff and stuffy, he just saw the wedding as a nuisance and was too busy to bother explaining everything to Elizabeth. So, he ends up having his PA send her all the legal documents, which includes his contact information which she should only use in an emergency. Walt is a bit one dimensional and his character isn’t fleshed out much.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Aubrey Vincent and Alexander Cendese. Aubrey has a nice voice though she speaks a bit fast, and her tempo is a bit stilted sometimes, also her male voice doesn’t sound male at all. Alexander Cendese is great and has a terrific voice which was perfect for Walt though, most of the book was told from Elizabeth’s POV, he only did the epilogue.

Sweet and Simple

This was a sweet strangers-to-lovers romance. A slow burned but very little spice. It was a sweet story that had me “awww”-ing frequently and narrated very well!
