This is a slog - which isn't something I'd ever expected to say about a Nazri Noor book. The narration is fabulous, but the story is really slow... I just listened to a whole chapter about omelettes and scrambled eggs!

No idea why NN has decided to go down the cosy route - his stuff normally has plenty of action with a bit of romance and smexy times but this is... boring.

New to me author whose other listed works here are fanfic. This original work is off to a good start. 🤞

Is something going to actually happen soon?

Off to a great start!

UGH - present tense. Why do authors do this to us?

American authors/audio publishers - PLEASE allow your British narrators to say "arse" instead of "ass", especially in sex scenes**. Listening to these guys doing thing to each other's "asses" is not the kind of kink that was probably intended!

**Narrators are supposed to read what's on the page to the letter and not make changes.

Shelving this temporarily as I just haven't got the spoons for something new right now.

Why, when I look at my "Want to Read" shelf, are there two books marked #1?

Put this on pause b/c some ARCs I was waiting for came in!

God, Dash's parents are AWFUL.

Ugh - that cover :(

So... the leads finally met around the 25% mark, shagged, bonded (unknowingly), have realised who the other is... and have now been sent off on separate quests. Sigh. Maybe they might get to be in the same room again at some point.

Over 3 hours in and the leads haven't met yet. Hm.

I see Goodreads is back to picking random books it thinks I've read again and dumping them in my feed...

Trying Alice Winters again; she's popular and prolific and renowned for humour. I didn't find her very funny at all, but the plot in this sounds a lot darker, and it's been a few years since I tried something of hers, so...

Tapping out at 20%. I haven't picked this up in almost 3 days which is not a good sign. What I've read so far is dull and predictable - I think 20% is enough to be able to tell it's not going to get better.

Ugh. Slog.
