Worth the listen!

Beautiful story. I loved how well developed all the characters were, and how self aware. No artificial drama here. One of my faves!

Great story I highly recommend, but virtual voice does not do it any favors

Revisado: 09-22-24

I'm rating this five stars overall despite the 1 for performance given the story itself deserves it. For the genre, this is great stuff. I'm likely not the target audience, but despite that it was a good romp. I plan to read the next books the old fashioned way, it as close as a Kindle comes to that. If Audible is the only way you can introduce yourself to Wesson's story, as was the case for me who has far more time to listen to than read a book, go for it. Just don't hold the limitations of VV against the author.

Fantastic follow up

Revisado: 06-17-23

I loved this follow up in Prairie Town. It resolved most of the outstanding character plots and left us with a warm HEA. I would have liked to have seen the book be a little longer so we could have seen a but more of the potential development between Jebson and Aggy. Still, there's enough there for the reader's imagination. That you T.E. Ridener for sharing this exquisite work and to Molly King for her superb performance. Highly recommend!

Sweet romance; 5 stars regardless of LGBT element

Revisado: 06-15-23

First I want to say this story holds up to any "mainstream" romance. Love develops naturally, Characters are relatable. Dramatic moments make perfect sense. The TG element is handled very tastefully. I encourage anyone to give this story a listen because it is a great romance story. The TG element is just a tender part of an overall mainstream love story.

I agree with some comments that the narrator's voice initially felt off, but within a few chapters it grew on me and by the end I cannot imagine it being read by anyone else. Molly's alto voice permitted her to voice men and women naturally. 5 stars for her!

Fun listen for what it is

Revisado: 02-01-23

Book 1: Great story to listen to if you want a really steamy experience. Lots of hot sex. Micki is likable enough but the love interest, Robin, is never really developed. Robin's change of heart about her previous "no strings" ways comes from nowhere and we never understand much of anything about Robin that explains the change. It makes the story more wish-fulfillment for lesbian women who feel trapped in a straight marriage than a real, organic story. Still, I enjoyed it for what it was. Great story to listen to when doing other things which allow moments to enjoy some really fun steamy scenes. Book One is 3 star story, five performance, four overall.

Book 2: Best of the three. Much more character development as we get the story from both main character POVs. Unlike Book One where Robin was barely even two-dimensional, I came to empathize with both characters. Angela also did her awesome usual performance. Book Two is 5 starts all across.

Book 3: A radical departure from Book 1 & 2 in that it is told using first-person present. This tense can be done well, but it feels clunky here as it is so different from the previous books. Character development has some of the same problems as Book One. I am left wondering if the author had an editor for Book Two that was not involved for Book One and Three. Also, narrator Melissa Moran does it no favors with the fast-tempo reading speed. I had to slow the speed to 0.85 in order to properly enjoy it as much as was possible. Finally, I agree with those that the POV character focused so much on their size issue that it felt like a sledgehammer on the reader over the subject. It actually made it hard to immerse in the story. That characteristic is fine for a character, and I certainly can identify, but if I wanted to feel preached at I would be listening to non-fiction. Three stars across for the reasons above.

Exactly what is says on the tin

Revisado: 01-28-23

I loved it. This story is about two pairs of women and those around them surviving a loss of modern civilization. The focus is on relationships with the circumstances providing a crucible for them. My only nitpick is that I suspect the author never actually went to Astoria before writing this book. There is a reference to "Longview" across the river, but it would actually be "Long Beach". More than that, Astoria is presented as much smaller than it really is. Even 20 years ago, Astoria and the towns surrounding it was a lot bigger than suggested. That said, I suspended disbelief by registering this as a parallel world where the author took creative license. Other than that, great story! :-)

Great idea and epic story with a wobbly execution

Revisado: 01-27-23

I agree with reviewers who got headaches from Bartlett's apparent naivete of actual military service. A military (as opposed to naval) captain does not get a sizable ship command. Naval and military ranks are mixed together in an incoherent way. A Sgt does not give orders to a 1st Lt. I expect Bartlett's knowledge of the military was gleaned second hand. This isn't a deal breaker, but it does make the story feel off in many places.

A lot of other reviewers have issues with how characters act, and I agree many actions seem forced and don't develop organically from previous character development. Capt Kane is the worst offender.

All this said, the epic storyline and characterization of aliens more than offsets the flaws. This is a fantastic story overall; a great yarn. This is well worth the credit if you make it through to the payoff.

Fantastic

Revisado: 01-02-23

First person present is a very difficult style to write, but Ms Cass knocks it out of the park. So incredibly good character writing. Sensual and longing, with just the right payoff near the end. Very classy.

And Lori Prince is literally at her best with this performance. Brava, brava!

Best listened to at .85x or .90x

Revisado: 12-31-22

The narrator is fine, but she rushes through the story like a racehorse. slowing down 10-15% makes it much more enjoyable. Hopefully the narrator learns over time to take is slower and let listeners savor her skills. :-)

I love the location of the story. Brookings is one of my favorite stomping grounds.

better as a listen

The narrator was fantastic. The story was very bland. little story, mostly sex, sexual desire, and internal angst.
