Cute story, struggled with the narrator
The story is fine, but the narrators were hard to listen to. The female made odd noises and the male sounded like you slowed down his read back speed by %50. The dialogue isn't great, so I don't know of that is the issue or the actual narrators. I wasn't familiar with either and this is my first book by the author.

Pretty good but...
Entertaining and well written story but the narrator's mispronunciation of words was distracting, like a song skipping would take one out of the moment. I will definitely check out the author's other work, though.

Good story… hard to listen to.
Seriously?!? Based on the photo of a black woman in the cover, I thought I was choosing a book with a rare black female lead. So I was very disappointed when she sounded like a dippy, blonde, valley-girl. No way this girl’s parents were from Nigeria. Even more annoying was listening to her describe herself and talk about her dark curly hair. I struggled to match the voice with the character.
This may be a good read, but a terrible listen. I stopped after about 10 minutes.

Don't waste your patience with this one.
The story line was ok, a bit basic, but possible. The female narrator was atrocious and made it difficult to get through.

Poor Narrator Match
I really struggled to listen to this one, I think if the female narrator sounded more mature, less monotone at times, clearer narration etc it would have been more enjoyable. The immaturity of the character was noted but the added narration made it sound sooo painful it was hard to believe the dynamics between the professor and this student progressed the way they did. Wish the student had been more mature, in behaviour and age. I get the fictional romance troupe of these things but, I'm not sure this story was a good way to explore that theme. Ugh.
This was just not a good listen, I finished it for the sake of finishing it but I think I'm good on this narrator and author.

One of My Least Favorite Books by This Author
Penny Reid has provided me with countless hours of reading pleasure. This novella was a huge disappointment. The meet-cute was great, but it was downhill from there. The ten year age gap was compounded by their power imbalance, differences in social status, life experience, and the heroine's immaturity. Reid often has female leads who spout vocal oddities, but here they bordered on inane. It was difficult to see why a sauve professor in his 30's would be so instantly smitten with this particular 23 year old at the cost of risking his job and reputation. Given that this was a summer course with a short time frame, why couldn't he tell her how he felt but just wait to start a relationship until the course was over? Making a big deal of it at the admin level before he even knew how she felt was mind-boggling. The background story of his domineering father seemed unnecessary given that it was resolved so quickly at the end.
Disappointing narration with errors in pronunciation that were distracting.
