Rivals to not root for
- By dreacraftie28 on 10-20-23
By: Ali Vali
I know, I know, I always applaud Lori’s narration…but she deserves it, and I want to do my part to let author T.B. Markinson know that the choice of narrator can absolutely make or break an audiobook. In “Confessions”, Lori’s range is showcased particularly well: MC Kat the artist purrs with a sultry sex-kitten voice, former jock MC Cori has a perfectly wry voice, sort of MC Annie has the perfect “no R Boston accent”, and other characters, both male and female, are given voices individually and terrifically as well.
Well, as my Goodreads friend know, I LOVE audiobooks, and it pains me when a bad narrator ruins a great story, so I enjoy a great story all the more when a narrator absolutely enhances the story. But even a great narrator can’t save a poor story, so I’m glad to let you know that Markinson provided a wonderful story; they make a great combination!
The book is filled with wonderful banter between characters, much of it will cause people around you to look at you oddly as you laugh while walking around with headphones. Oh…and do be sure to wear headphones in public…the sex scenes are erotic and wonderful, and you just may rewind and replay a few parts once or twice….you may.
The showcase romance is between Cori and Kat, but as in real life, there are complications. Cori has a Friends With Benefits relationship with BFF Annie, and as mutual friend Sheila observes, sometimes mixing sex with friendship can become messy. And, sometimes, one friend/lover falls in love while the other doesn’t even notice. Uh oh. I liked that tension between characters felt completely realistic and natural. So often lately, even lesfic books with HEA endings introduce some completely unnatural character behavior, or unnecessary new character, just to create turmoil that we are expected to accept and then be glad for the make up after the break up.
I really liked Sheila, by the way; she’s very caring as well as smart. Cori’s family members are included in the book, and her attitude toward relationships is influenced by them, of course. Kat’s parents are included only through Kat’s POV, and we learn how they have influenced who she is, and how she views self and relationships. The family members are realistically nuanced.
Cori’s path to participating fully in a relationship….a relationship she wants….is sometimes frustrating, and I felt she was sending mixed messages to Kat for too long. Kat is described in the blurb as “mysterious”, and I found her very interesting. She’s sexy and sensual, playful and serious. She teases, and she participates. There is major chemistry between Kat and Cori, and as dominant as Cori appears…Kat clearly is in control!
“Confessions” could have been made into a standalone book, with a typical HEA or HFN ending, and with some of the family issues that were raised left as unresolved, having been important only to the behaviors of Cori and Kat. But….it’s not a standalone, it’s the “prequel” to two more books, neither of which are currently available on Audible. (I do hope that Lori Prince is chosen once again as narrator!) I applaud T.B. Markinson for continuing with these characters, and I look forward to the sequels….but….reading the blurbs does make the next two sound much darker than did this first….sorry, prequel….book.
But, as much as I’m not a fan of angst in my lesfic, even for me it would become boring if all stories featured rainbows and unicorns. If any fictional couple can weather some real life drama…I’d bet on Cori and Kat. Markinson has created characters to care about, and I look forward to continuing their story. 5* for the prequel, “Confessions From the Heart”!

Markinson’s characters are always fun; they are so multi-dimensional and rich. The relationships they build with the support characters enhance the plot and make the storytelling so much more enjoyable. She artfully develops characters that are flawed and have shortcomings, but yet they are so likeable. Her ability to do this lends itself to an authentic storytelling that never disappoints.
If you haven’t listened to one of Markinson’s books, I strongly recommend that you do. Markinson is a master storyteller. Her stories never disappoint.
Amazing story!

I almost gave the novel a 4, because the main character Corey, often behaved selfishly in many of her relationships, especially with her closest friend Annie. She seems to be self-absorbed and unaware of the harm she can do to other people whether they care about her or not.
However, the story hits a bull’s-eye, with the introduction of a very special character, named Cat.
Her immediate connection and patience with Corey Brings out the absolute best in her character.
Cat, is one of the nicest, most patient, and loving characters I have come across in a romcom.
Her specialness would make anyone fall in love with her.
The characters that surround and support Corey, especially her family and friends serve an important role in letting you know why Corey is the way she is.
One of the things that fleshes out the story, and builds a connection between the reader and Corey, is accomplished through the magnificent reading done by Miss Prince.
On those occasions, when I am not sure whether I want to invest my time listening to a book, just the fact that Lori Prince is the narrator, helps me to make up my mind.
I know I will never meet her, but I have an auditory crush on Miss Prince, and thank her for making, listening such a pleasure.
