I found my self pausing the audio book to have a bit of a laugh. But it takes me out when he reads dialogue from female characters in a falsetto voice especially during sex scenes and more serious moments. I’m still on the fence with Jack Calihan’s performance though? Dont get me wrong he did a great job with Thane, the deep gravely voice fit the character perfectly…. Lessa Lamb’s characterization of Catalina is such a delight to listen to!! The delicate balance of self deprication and still kindda funny(?) had me like “Saaauuurrr Truuuee, sauuurrr meeee”. I particularly enjoyed their performance and the nuances theygave to the characters sometimes messy internal monolgue.
I was pleasantly surprised how good the Narrators brought life to Catalina and Thane. In the last book, there were consequences and i wished it was applied here too.Īwkward segway aside, I listened to this book right after The Dragon’s Bride (the first book of the series) and they have the same narrators. There is a plot point that was huge glaring Red flag with sirens that had my stomach rolling that really needed to be addressed and really really warrants a therapy session but was a completely swept away with the power of mindblowing orgasms. Sure theres a promise of communication between the two characters as they get to know each other but still. i cant help the nagging feeling that it can turn into a unhealthy co-dependency if they dont adress it. So despite their future as a couple being bright and fluffy…. but it was breifly mentioned by Catalina and Thane never got any counseling. The idea of therapy WAS breifly touched upon. Like no amount of magical squirmy dinaling ding dongs and enthusiatic punanynay is gonna heal them from their traumas.
Although i cant help but think “YALL NEED THERAPY” through out the book. The characters Catalina and Thane are pretty endearing.
