Down with the.... Prince!

The plot was cute, funny and typical of what you would expect for this type of book. The one thing that completely ruined this for me was the narration. I'm not kidding; Shiromi did a great job as Tessa and I really liked her. The prince, on the other hand, sounded like a pompous old British guy who sat around narrating while smoking fags on his downtime. It really messed up the whole story for me. I think I would have liked it much better had a read it and not had to suffer through the mental picture his voice elicited. Skip the audible version and go for the pages; trust me on this one.

Male Narrator was miserable

The male narrator’s female voice was irritating and absolutely miserable. He spoke in a weird falsetto voice. Female narrator was great and almost made up for it but at the end I had to return it.

Bad male narrator but cute story

Cute story, but the male narrator is so bad, especially his version of the females. I don’t even know what to compare it to....

Did not complete

I couldn't get into this one. The narrators' voices did not really draw me into the story

Male voice is terrible

I cringed whenever the male reader spoke. It sounded like he was 90 years old and female. When he had to do a woman’s voice it was even worse. The saving grace was the female reader. If you can get past that it was a good story and funny.

The male narrator is not right for the book

The story itself was very cute. I enjoy the sassy personality’s and comments the author uses as well. The female narrator was good, however the male narrator was terrible. His female voice was high and squeaky and I found him rather distracting from the story. He has a good reading voice I just think this was not the right book for him. I found his voice made the prince feel a lot older and didn’t mess with the princes personality, which it should when he’s reading from the princes view. I would have given the performances two stars but because of the female narrator I gave it 3.

Great story!!

The storyline is awesome. It's laugh out loud funny! I really enjoyed the female narrator.

My only thing is the narrator for the male POV was not quite what I imagined. He seemed a bit old for the story. He didn't quote hit the nail on the head.

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

This book is hilariously sexy!!! A laugh out loud, giggling good time! The male reader is particularly fabulous when he does the voice of Tessa!!! Ready to start the next one!

Cute story narration is terrible!

The story is cute enough to re-record the narration. The female narration was fine just a little slow at times but the male narrator was not good at all. They would do much better to have someone that actually sounded like a prince not just someone white a British accent. His narration was much too fast and made everything the prince said come across like he was going for comedic take which Totally took away from the romantic chick lit nature of the story.

Wonderful story makes you forgive the male narrato

The story was awesome, with hilarious one-liners. At first I wasn't so sure about the male narrator voice but the story was so good that I could not stop listening. However his narration of the female characters all sounds like an elderly British lady, like Mrs. Doubtfire, which is a little distracting when it's supposed to be his love interest.
All in all, the writing was amazing and I love this book!
