About this listen
Ally Heathrow, head of marketing for the Georgia Patriots, has one goal: talk the enigmatic Preston Steele into being her poster child for a social media blast that will not only sell out the stadium, but help those who are suffering as well. She wonders if the handsome and popular football star will even notice her--she's always known she doesn't have the beauty and slim figure of her gorgeous sisters, but at least she has her sharp mind. Mustering up all the courage and confidence she has, Ally lures Preston into a deserted garden to explain her idea when they’re kidnapped.
Preston Steele, the talented heartthrob wide receiver, loves his football career but not the constant limelight and the insincere women who throw themselves at him. When the alluring Ally Heathrow invites him on a walk out on the grounds, Preston is captured by her refreshing kindness and beauty. After he and Ally are kidnapped and held for ransom, Preston not only protects her, he yearns to hold her close and get to know her. Ally seems equally drawn to him, until she hides behind her defensive walls.
As Ally and Preston fight together for their safety, can Preston convince Ally to let go of her insecurities and embrace their blossoming love?

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Great story.
Virtual narration not as good as a real person who can hesitate where needed and not miss pronounce similar words.

Enjoyable
This story was cute. A clean romance that was a quick listen, the story didn't go too deep but was enjoyable.
This was my first time listening to a virtual voice narration and it was not bad. A lot better that some really bad "real" narrators out there! Some of the inflections were a bit off in places but overall I was impressed by the voice time changes since I was expecting something more "robotic".
However, there were quite a few words were confused based on context - live and live for example. The virtual voice didn't know the difference between the verb, "live" refering to being alive, or the "live" that mean where you reside.
And I am pretty sure the main characters name was supposed to be pronouned "Al-lee" rather than the Ally ( a person you work with to gain similar goals) it kept calling her. There were a few more words like that, but overall not too bad. I would try another virtual voice narrator.
