Good but unintentionally funny

I love just about anything Ms Singh produces and this was no exception. However the performance had me in stitches. Ms O’Keefe’s attempt to do a Kiwi accent often came out sounding South African instead! Still loved it overall and the accent wasn’t too distracting a

CHERISH HARD IS SO CHERISHING 💞

Nalini Singh has gone & done it again, she's started another great series starting off with a beautiful love story.

I felt like it was quite a peaceful & genteel kinda love story, as the characters themselves, Professional landscaper Sailor Bishop & Teacher/Corporate VP Ìsa Rain whose 1st encounter was at a college party when her boyfriend at the time embarrasses her in front of everyone & which makes Sailor wants to help her.

We then jump 7yrs ahead, Sailor is this landscaper who's working in the gardens of the school where Ìsa's a teacher & they both know that, they know they have seen each other before, but not registering from where.
Then they bump into each other again, when he goes in to the corporate to sell himself to twithin o After she had done something many a woman/man would love to have the guts to do & that is go up to him & snog him (can't do that now'a'days 😂😋)

And it's here after the next encounter that the start of this beautiful & pretty amazing relationship, though either didn't see it coming & when they did decide to start something they both sort of fell into it, not realising it will become this strong amazing beautiful love story where BOTH will strive & achieve.
They JUST gel together. & their siblings are pretty humorous, whom I'm looking forward to getting to know them more in the up & coming books. Though I guess the next book will be Sailor's professional rugby player older brother Gabe Though the 2 I'm looking forward to are Ìsa's fiesty younger sister Katie & Sailor's easy going younger brother Jake, as I can see them together 😘😘

Both narrators were ok though I wasn't too sure what their accents were, as they sounded different, as if either trying to bring in an accent or if that's their normal accents of which they're picking up a new one due to a move to a new area...

Terrible accents

I have everything Nalini Singh, including the 4 Rock Kiss books that this book is a spin off/prequel from, so I'm familiar with Justine O. Keefs narration and I'm happy to say I've enjoyed listening to her narrating those other books. That ended abruptly with this book, so much so that I nearly didn't make it through the "Dick Van Dyke does Cockney accent" prologue, & it only got worse from there. I'm from the UK & I'm fairly familiar with Aussie & New Zealand accents but unfortunately it appears Ms Keef is not. Both those accents were interchangeable and both sounded like they were done for some horrible comedy/parody skit. I can't even begin to describe the Icelandic accent, other then to say I wasn't aware that Iceland & South Africa shared an accent!! I can only assume that someone in the production team decided it would be a good idea to narrate this book with accents, whoever that person was, please please please DO NOT do that again, leave Ms Keefs prefectly fine narration alone. This is perhaps the only time I totally preferred reading a book compared to listening to one, & I certainly will not be listening to this one again.
