Fired

I really enjoyed this boss/employee romance. Dominic is trying to revive the family restaurant business with his brother and they're opening a second location. Melanie recently lost her job and is looking for something else when her friend suggests her for the position at a new restaurant. From the moment Dominic and Melanie meet, there are sparks and insane chemistry. Dominic won't touch an employee but there's something special about Melanie and he can't resist her. I really liked that these two actually got to know each other before anything sexual happened between them. They had a great connection and I liked both characters a lot. Dominic could be a little rough around the edges but overall he was sweet and kind. Melanie was independent, driven and smart. I have no complaints about the story but struggled a bit with the female narration. I have listened to other books narrated by this narrator and never had an issue but for this particular book, the Italian-American accent was overdone and in contrast to the male narrator and how he did his parts. Other than that, I really enjoyed this audio and look forward to more in this series.

What three words best describe Carly Robins and Aiden Snow ’s performance?

Carly rates 5 stars as usual. Aiden Snow needs to narrate a different genre altogether. He doesn’t have the voice of a leading male character. I cannot listen to his books. I purchased this book because the synopsis sounded good but forgot to check the narrator first.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I immediately returned it because of the male narrator. I’ll read the book instead of listening.
