The narrator has a lovely voice, but it sounds like chatgpt just used her voice to tell the story. every sentence has an absurdly long pause after. I can't even get through this story because the narrator's style is so distracting.

The narrator is probably an AI generated. Very poor acting with no continuity between sentences.The story has no conclusion and you need to read the sequel. I will no continue the series.

DNF. This was a light, fun story that was destroyed by a narrator who read as though telling a small child a bedtime tale. As though she feared her listeners would not understand if she didn’t take on a tragically slow pace and over-enunciate each word.

Narrator sounded A.i. at time but all in all it was a Pretty good book might even continue the series.

Don’t know about the story because I couldn’t get past the first few sentences with the AI narrator. If I wanted a synthetic voice to read the story to me, I would just get the kindle version and use that read aloud function. The pint of an audiobook is for a human to read the story and add inflection and feeling to the words. This was pretty disappointing.

Missing too much plot for smut.

narrator sounds like AI and it's not enjoyable

The narrator in this book is absolutely awful. The voice is completely emotionless and has a monotone way of speaking that drives me up the wall... I have NEVER DNFd a book, but until I get the physical copy of this book, I can not stand to finish more than two minutes of it.

I love this searies.for sure a top read

I love the series, the world and character building are detailed enough to give a great image without being boring. They are campy and fun but perfect to listen to while driving particularly if traffic is bad.

This was not what I thought it would be like and not in a good way. There was very little scene or character building. The plot was predictable. I wanted to turn use of the word "incredulously" into a drinking game.

This may be the worst narrator I have ever heard. Surely this is AI. Or she thinks she is reading to 5 year olds.... Every punctuation mark gets a dramatic pause and every sentence has the same rhythm, no matter whether it is internal monolog or descriptive or action. Terrible. I would recommend you absolutely do not listen to this book. Just read it.

i would never have picked this book to read had i not had my audiobook app....saying that...i was slow to get into this book...but once i did...i didnt stop listening til i was almost done...did nothing all day....but hold hope for love....and giggled when it done cause i wanted to hear more.......thank you for reminding me how i still like a good story without all the suspence and drama....

Im sure the book is fine but I couldn't even get through the first track. The narrator is awful and potentially AI. She reads the words all out of sorts and the ends of sentence just bleed together. Its robotic and emotionless. Not a great listen at all.

Love!

Enjoyed the story. Seemed more world building and like the entire book was a setup for more. Diving into the next book to see how the rest of the series goes.

The narrator is AWFUL. I got two minutes in and I’m DNFing. At least it was a free download but I still feel duped by how bad the narrator is. Absolutely insane that this passed quality checks and was published. Maybe I’ll circle back and read the hard copy once I’m not mad at how bad this narrator was.

I wish I didn't waste my credit on this book. I could not finish. It was honestly boring. I couldn't make myself finish it.

Nice easy to listen to. I love this kind of backwards fairytale and we all love a bad boy. I love the twists and turns.

I loved this book. It has a lot of humor

I enjoyed the both the book and narration! Honestly fun story , cute banter, engaging, over all I enjoyed it ✨ Excited to listen to the other two

I decided to do a reread of the Assistant to the Villain series before diving into the third installment and I’m so happy that I did. This time I listened to it and I absolutely enjoyed the narrator, Em Eldridge.  Eldridge  portrays Evie and the Villain very well.  The tones and inflections are spot on and I wouldn’t want them done any other way.  I couldn’t stop laughing at the banter and seeing how it all went down was just great to listen to. It was like my first time reading this book.  The world building is easy and not overly complicated and it’s such a fun cozy mystery vibes in the best possible way. This one is a slow burn, but it’s so worth it.   I honestly couldn’t stop laughing and I think this is something I just needed. The ending though!! Oh it’s a good one! 

I enjoyed this story: the courageous of the main female character mixed with the witticisms exchanged between she & her boss were enjoyable. The very slow romantic burn of their heightening relationship was prob. as slow as it should be, except for this impatient Gemini... Be forwarded, this book ends on a major cliffhanger, so make sure to acquire the 2nd book before you finish the first.

I don’t mind the narration at all really. Super slow burn romance but really witty and fun!

fantastic book.didn't like the narrator at the start but I think she fits thw character well so overall great.

The story was fine, but the narrator made this book unbearable. So labored, so overly articulated, so distracting. I will avoid this narrator at all costs.

DNF’d only because of the narrator. She dragged the words out. Even on 2x speed it wasn’t fast enough.

Cute story with likable characters. There were some gender tropes that reduced my enjoyment of the protagonist, but that’s of course very subjective. The narration made this book hard to get through. It was very slow and punctuated, like the way one might read a children’s book.

This is my favorite book of 2023 so far! So many emotions. I could stop from smiling, I laughed, I cried! The banter between the villain and Evie. The protectiveness of the villain. All my favorite tropes in one book. Will be recommending this book to everyone!
