About this listen

It started with a single look...my obsession, my desire, and need to possess the sweet, and incredibly naive, Elena Romero. Dark raven hair and piercing green eyes. She would make a beautiful bride.

Ten million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the dead of night and stole her away from her protected castle and placed her in a gilded cage made of gold.

The deal had been made. She would become my wife. She would bear my children. She would bend to my will. But most importantly, she would help me destroy the man she loved most. The man who took everything from me: her father.

female narrator spoilt every thing for me. Sorry was a disappointment for me, after such great narrator on every other book

worst staccato female narrator ever. sorry. JA huss usually has the best narrator ever.

Sound editors on this did an appalling job. Female narration was quiet compared to male narration, especially when voicing the man. Then when lead male spoke I had to turn volume down. Female narration incredibly robotic as others have said. Overly dramatic, heavy pauses and very amateurish. I have been spoilt by Maxine and Andi! Story also frustrating in daughter's continued faith in her father. Became a repetitive theme despite evidence he was not a good man.

Recording levels don't match. Female lead irritating.

IMO the Storyline wasn’t too bad but it was an extremely hard listen due to the narration. It sounded like it was being read out by half human half robot. Speeding it up helped a bit but I would not recommend based only on the narration.
