Publisher's Summary

Fall in love with this audio-first charmer from number-one New York Times best-selling author Susan Mallery!

When Nissa Lang’s house sitting job falls through, she’s left with no place to stay for the summer. While she’s figuring out what to do, her old family friend Desmond Stilling hears about her dilemma and invites her to stay on his palatial estate. Trouble is, Nissa’s always had a crush on Desmond, so she’ll have to keep her feelings under wraps....

Ever since Desmond was shipped off to boarding school as a child, Nissa’s tight-knit family was the closest thing he ever had to a real family of his own. Her brother invited him into their clan, and he’d never betray their trust by giving in to the hidden attraction he’s always harbored for Nissa.

But as the season heats up, the two get to know each other in a whole new way. Will their summer together be fleeing - or will it lead to the love of a lifetime?

Disappointed

I was disappointed in this audible experience. The narration sounded very robotic and with poor expression or emotion.

Loved the story liked the narration

Wasn’t a fan of the female narrator. She did the voices well, but when she was reading the narrative passages, I almost thought I was listening to a bot. When the book opened with the female narrator, I actually stopped listening — although eventually I did come back.

Quick!

The story was interesting but it ended too quickly. First one thing happens and within minutes, it’s the reverse. The end!!

Jason Clarks sounds exactly like the person who revîtes the rosary that I listen to. I wonder….

Decent story - not so much for the narration

The story was enjoyable.
The male narration was good, but the female narration was really robotic. I actually thought about stopping this audiobook because every time her voice came on I cringed.

Fun listen but….

Well the story was a cute listen, I found the female narrators voice to be very robotic sounding. Almost like a computer generated voice. Did not enjoy that at all.

Meh..

A simple and predictable story. Both narrators are robotic. The female is Suri-ish and the male's non-emotional character is reinforced by a consistently monotone voice. I can't believe I listened to the entire thing. I kept waiting for them to sound more human.

If you can’t say anything nice....

Narrated by Siri and Batman. Predictable. Good effort from the author. Try and read Lisa Jewel to build characters. Narration is key.
