About this listen

Sunday Styles is a passionate romance novelist with a pretty comfortable career and a size fourteen swimsuit. Archie Macleod is a Scottish-American Broadway actor who has no trouble making friends, but who has a hard time finding love. When the two of them agree to join the ten-contestant cast of "Artisan's Isle," the hottest new thing in reality television, they quickly find that they're in for way more than they bargained for. While the show may have been intended as a trope-filled, trashy mishmash of "crafting competition" and "dating show," it quickly evolves into something entirely different as the contestants decide that they're more interested in the connections they're making on the island than they are in the money. While they fight the producers to forge something beautiful and permanent out something built for ratings, Sunday and Archie battle the confines of the show, the producers, and their own insecurities to get and stay together.

EPISODE ONE: Making Waves

Sunday and Archie arrive on the island just in time to meet their fellow artists, each of whom have their own goals, their own endgame, and their own styles of flirting. They pair up for the first challenge and begin to get to know each other, but it isn't long before the other contestants get in the way and drag them into all sorts of different romantic drama and sexual tension, all in the very first episode of Artisan's Isle.

Vivid prose plus relatable characters equals instant entertainment

The fun starts the moment narrator Andrew Perez, with his warm, clear delivery, plunges us into MAKING WAVES.

Ms. Morisot instantly brings the listener into her vivid world of glamorous celebrities, striking vistas, and gorgeous fashion. This book is un-put-down-able. Be prepared to get swept away into these delightful waves- more, please, Ms. Morisot!!

interesting beginning

This was an interesting quick listen that is just the beginning of the story.The narration was excellent with each character having a distinct voice.
I was given this novella at no cost to me.

Loved this Reality Show Rom.Com

Fans of The Bachelor...you will love this 2 hour audiobook.  I am ready for the second part of the series!  This is a little red velvet-cheesecake treat of a book. Perfect to add to your read list for after a 40-hour audiobook or a 10+ book series.  

Do cash (>$7) not Audible credit ($14+).

A romance novelist meets a Broadway actor who is Scottish while being a contestant on a competition and dating reality show.

Fun characters in a fun plot. This book is the beginning of a series and does not resolve all plot issues, and leaves you ready for the next episode. Includes LGBQ and otherly-abled characters.

Notes for author:  I could have used a couple more sentences explaining the reality tv show, central to this series, which is a cross between a dating show and a reality show. But I am not a regular viewer of The Bachelor or Bachlorette. But, I've done every episode of Project Runway.  Setting, where they are doing the shoot and the contests,  could be described in a bit more visual detail. Loved the subtle Outlander/Gabaldon jokes. I hope you get a tv series option.

Notes about narration: The male narrator, Andrew Perez, of the book is a relatively high tenor and his voice characterization of the 50+ year old reality tv show host sounds a bit too young and too high pitched for my believability standards.  The narrator's characterization of a 30-something female romance novelist was an even farther reach for me.  But portrayal of the Sam Heughan-esque Scottish actor was great.  Maybe this series needs a dual narrator treatment?

Ready for the next episode....please.

Fun and exciting

I have enjoyed Morisot's other works and this still deliveries their high quality work. The story is engaging and all the characters are relatable with hopes, fears, insecurities and dreams. I am rooting for everyone, even though I know there will be heartbreak in future episodes.

Perez's narration is top notch and flawlessly gives each of the many character presented a clear and unique voice. Their work gives extra depth and warmth to all the characters.
