Read the ebook and was excited to read the audio!

I'm not sure reading the audio truly changed my mind about anything that I read from the first time. I think a part of me was a tad bothered by the fact that the narrator spoke with an Indian accent when it came to Rahul. I thought he was English of S.Asian descent? I imagined him talking with an English accent because, well, the author states most of her characters are English like herself regardless of what their ethnicity is.

The book is very lust driven. Almost kind of fluffy since without the sex and Jasmine's self-sabotaging outlook on things, I'm not sure there would be a plot. I still enjoyed it though. I love a book with good, smutty love scenes.

Both books are awesome!

I thought the narrator was more suited to narrate Harry Potter at first but, turns out he brought just the right amount of levity to the mix! Both books are good reads and highly recommended! I wish more romance books were more inclusive instead of having to search and stumble upon books that includes different races and cultures. It's the 21st century people! Let's get with it!!

hate the narrator

i couldn't get into the book because the narrator was awful. i cant understand why they would have chosen a white male to read a story about a black female. if it was solely because he is british then they missed the mark. i didnt make it past chapter 3.

I couldn’t get past the first chapter

It sucks. Simple and concise. Atlas, that want more words: boring,failure to draw the reader in.

talia’s best outside of brown sisters

super sexy, cute, and intriguing. i enjoyed getting to know these characters. their stories were believable, if not very sad, but truly just friends taking care of one another in the best ways they know how. maybe they fall short (don’t we all?), but it was sweet to see them working.

my biggest beef is the narrator. it’s just weird to hear a white dude speaking for black/brown characters. also, i don’t love the idea of the accent. gives me the heebs.

altogether, an enjoyable listen as long as you are listening to the story and not the voice.

Good Read

Ms. Hibbert never disappoints. This audible is another excellent storyline with multicultural characters, real meaty backstories, poignant hangups, hopeful character development, misplaced parental burdens, and great sex. I loved every minute of it. The narrator was good, though a tad overzealous at times, in a cute way, I suppose. When he became so, I noticed him and not the protagonists, and that was not great, but not too distracting, in my opinion.

good

overall engaging so story. good characters and a few fun moments. would recommend for a light listen

Timely love story

In this time where we all seem to be adjusting or finding ourselves this story was very reflective. A refreshing change from some other formulas that we see too often. Jasmine and Rahul are truly meant for each other and although it takes awhile for them to get there they do find their happily ever after. Story touches on the need for counseling after messed up things that can happen early in life. Good read.
