Amazing narration, obnoxious characters

Revisado: 04-20-23

The good: Nicholas Boulton was the perfect narrator. His accent is great, and he did a good job doing different voices for each character. The MC, Valentine, Duke of Malvern, is grouchy and clueless at the beginning, but he learns a lot about himself over the course of the story. There are several cute moments between him and Bonaventure ("Bonny") Tarleton.

The bad: Most of the other characters are complete jerks. Rarely have I seen a character as obnoxious, immature, and just plain stupid as Arabella Tarleton, the woman Valentine was pledged to marry. Her behavior is ridiculous, and quite frankly, TSTL. By the end I was hoping she would be horribly killed in some way. Most of the other characters are pointlessly mean to poor Valentine, basically just because he's a man and a Duke. Even Bonny does this several times. By the end I was struggling to finish because I was just so mad at the characters.

YMMV.

Excellent start to a spinoff series!

Revisado: 01-22-23

I loved Charlie Adhara's Big Bad Wolf series, which I read in ebook. When I found out she had a spinoff, in audio with Joel Leslie, I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. Adhara's characters are multifaceted as always. There's action and a bit of humor. Joel Leslie does an excellent job of differentiating between characters, giving each one a unique voice. That was especially important since both MCs had chapters, unlike in the Big Bad Wolf series. If you like werewolves and intrigue, give Pack of Lies a listen. It's different from the BBW series, but in a way I enjoyed.

Unexpectedly fun!

Revisado: 09-20-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I went in to this listen not expecting a whole lot. When one MC kidnaps the other, it tends to be a bit too Stockholm Syndrome for me, and the "alpha" MC often comes off as a controlling jerk.

In this story, the alpha MC was sweet and caring, even if he was stubborn. The alien culture in the story was really interesting. Kirt Graves did a great job with the voices.

If you can suspect disbelief and just roll with the story, The Alien's Kidnapped Omega is a fun listen with likeable characters. I plan to get the sequel when it comes out on Audible.

Cute story, awkward narration.

Revisado: 10-23-20

I like Lynn Michaels, and probably would have enjoyed this more if I had read it in print. The narrator was just awkward. His female voice was cringe-worthy, and the voice he did for the second MC was like I would imagine a European grandma sounds. Ok, but definitely not a re-listen. YMMV
