Boring, predictable and long.

The story had potential but was ruined by the the long, drawn out, boring and predictable storyline. The characters were not likeable and I found the narration very annoying.

Annoying characters

This book was too long, the characters were super unlikeable, and the narration was grating.

Couldn’t finish

I made it 1/2 way though and just could not listen anymore .
It was too long and drawn out , couldn’t hold my attention. Normally when I listen to an audiobook, every free minute I have listening, but with this one I was literally just forcing myself and just couldn’t stay focussed on the story.

predictable and juvenile

It was a slog to get through. The storyline was predictable and juvenile. The attempt at romance and the long boring soppy smut was just eye rolling or cringeworthy.

Not for me

I didn’t enjoy this book at all and couldn’t finish listening. The narration was terrible and the story feeble. This book could have been much shorter. A lot of time was wasted trying to develop characters that could not be saved. Dreadful in my opinion

Dull and way too long

I eventually had to admit defeat - I just couldn’t get all the way through it. Boring and repetitive.

Bad Read

Lisa Jackson seems to be catering to the Porn addict, while slandering the Catholic Church and uses alot of Blasphemy throughout. Not sure what is going on in your head Lisa. Please get some help.

lol. Fitting that one of the last sentences of the story was about rolling your eyes. I spent most of the book doing that.

Horrible characters. Except for Kate. Insipid and just awful. I hate listened for 18 hours.
