🎧 Audiobook review 🎧⚡ Spoilers might lie ahead—I usually like to talk shit about everything that goes down in these books
3.5⭐
This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me... one moment it was boring, the next I was invested. One moment I was rolling my eyes, the next it was the most exciting thing ever. Then there were the times I felt checked out of the story, the times I skipped, the times I bit my nails in excitement, and the times Connor made my panties melt.
So I’ll say this: it’s rated lower mostly for personal reasons. I didn’t resonate at all with all the crystals and chakra talks and woo-woo stuff, and I wasn’t in the mood for a slow burn (I hate crossing the 50% mark and still no hanky-panky). Plus, it wasn’t as original as Tanner.
What I will say is that Daisy is a smart cookie. She is my favorite FMC in this billionaire of Whispers saga. I loved the fact that she was business-oriented and had as much drive for it as Connor did, so she was his equal in that sense. I liked how the insecurity and the plus size angle was explored—not over the top, not in a way that made Daisy weak, but in a way that made her appreciative of what Connor had to offer, since she had never been on the receiving end of all that attention, dedication, and love.
What I didn’t like? The kidnapping plot. I’m looking for a reprieve from the damsel-in-distress trope.
Now Connor… geeez, was he intense. When he decided Daisy was his, he went full steam ahead: obsessive, possessive, always there to help, to be around her, to long for her, to lust for her. I liked that he was a little beast in bed—took control, full steam ahead, sinful mouth… yes, daddy. (Sorry, but can you “yes, daddy” someone younger than you? :)) )
As far as the kidnapping plot from his point of view—damn, don’t we love a man who’s so obsessed with you he notices straight away something is wrong, rallies a whole town, security, law enforcement, has the president on standby for you, takes charge, hunts you down, and even takes a bullet for you?
My only Connor dislike is that he was, in some capacity, a clone of his father: the initial grumpiness with which he interacted with her, the “baby girls” (I didn’t mind hearing Sean Masters say that in my ear at all), the “his whiskey on her lady parts.”
Now, I will say… he did kinda love-bomb the shit out of her. But hey, we love a guy who knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to pound it. :))
The audiobook is duet style 10/10 and both narrators did a fantastic job...special shout out to my boo Sean Master, always a good time when he whispers in my ear...get it...Whispers?:)) aah I crack myself up.
