About this listen

When Rubi finds herself out on a singles cruise headed for the Bahamas, she can’t help but to wonder how her life has gone so horribly wrong. Many speed dates later and one drunken night on the deck sends Rubi head over heels, literally. She finds herself in the cold water of the Atlantic watching the boat she was cursing not long ago, sail off into the distance. Stranded in the middle of the ocean, she knows it’s only a matter of when she dies, not if.

When three gorgeous identical strangers show up out of nowhere, Rubi is certain she is drunk and hallucinating. As they whisper dark promises in her ear and drag her into the dark abyss, she says goodbye to her pathetic life. Little does Rubi know, she is about to be thrust into a world full of magic, centuries old prophecies, sea monsters, and mermaids.

A singles cruise? Poor Rubi

At least she has some interesting escapades along the way. How she ends up in another world/realm is beyond her. But she finds the three Z’s and they save her, literally and figuratively. Carols voice has a throaty edge to it that I loved. Brandy has created a world that is truly magical and beautiful.

Sunken Empire

I really enjoyed this story. The story kept me entertained. The banter between the characters gave me many lol moments, and the sexy moments were hawt! Their is a battle between good and evil that Rubi and her hot mermen have to battle. Love how it ended. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Carol Sheen did an amazing job bringing the characters to life.

[insert shrug emoji here]

I’m not sure how to feel about this one. The story’s good. Similar to another “people of the sea/fated mates” story I’ve read. I’ll look through my library and add the title here if I find it.

But I’m not rating the story (book where I create my own characters’ voices). I’m eating the AUDIObook. Therein lies the problem…

I can’t decide if it’s the narrator’s godawful delivery or just a very YA, cheesy story.

Narrator Carol Sheen would be a great voice actor for things like medical prescription commercials and quick bits. But she’s extremely robotic. She just can’t handle emotion, passionate dialogue, or really even continuity between the end of one page and flipping to the next. Her pauses are awkward…as if she’s lost her place for a sec…and there’s little differentiation between the character’s voices.

I think it’s just a matter of a little actors training. But it’s undeniably the reason why this story is hard to finish.

And I didn’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️
