3.5🌟
With her first book just released, Camryn Lane can now officially call herself a published author. But of course in the online world there are throngs of haters out there. And there’s one particular reviewer who seems focused on destroying Camryn’s dreams.

What can Camryn possibly do to stop them before the hatred and bad reviews go viral? Or is it already too late. And equally important, who’s behind this campaign of hate?

Sounds awesome right?!

🎧: So here’s the big question? Was it the storyline? Or the format I chose to read it with? For the first time I chose the audio version for one of RH’s books. And well…it just didn’t go according to plan!🏻‍♀️
I found the narrators a bit too frantic for my taste, making it difficult to connect with the characters.

I love this author’s works (I am not a hater🙋🏼‍♀️) I am already watching for her next book, which I will absolutely be reading in digital format!

Lisa Glad you enjoyed the book, sorry the audio was a miss.

Suzy Excellent review Kaceey! I’ve been chomping at the bit to read this one (this happens whenever Harding releases a new book 😂), but the reviews are just so-so. I think I’ll stick with the book instead of the audio version. 🩷


Ian M. Pyatt Outstanding Kaceey! I read a few of hers a couple years back and enjoyed them and am now looking forward to being re-acquainted with her works again.

Thank you Lisa! Love her books! I just need to stick with the digital format unless it’s a narrator I know well.

Thank you Suzy! I was chomping too!😂. Yes! Digital is the way to go for this one! I hope you love it! Can’t wait to see your thoughts!💗

Dorie  - Cats&Books :) thanks for the honest review Kaceey :)


NZLisaM Sorry the audio missed the mark for you. Fantastic review, Kaceey. 💕


Jayme Interesting question! Her last book was a listen for me and disappointed but everyone who read it was giving it 5 stars- this time I chose to read it and rated it 5 stars. Great review!


Holly  B (slower pace!) I read this one! Sorry you didn't enjoy it more Kaceey! 💗

Diana Narrators can sure make or break it!


Barbara I'm glad you enjoyed it Kaceey. I wasn't a fan🤣

Thank you Rachel! I wish I would have stepped away from the audio right away and switched to the digita🤦🏻‍♀️l. Lesson learned!💗

Thank you Andrea!❤️

Catherine (alternativelytitledbooks) - so very behind! Ugh, so you think maybe reading digital would help? I was going to buy a physical copy of this one but now I'm nervous...maybe I WILL wait for the library after all! 😂 Hope your next read is better Kaceey!! 💞

Thank you Jayme! Right!? I think we are into something here!🧐. We need to stick with the digital/physical copies for her books!💗

Kaceey Diana wrote: "Narrators can sure make or break it!"

Absolutely Diana! Sadly these narrators didn’t work for me.😕


Kaceey Barbara wrote: "I'm glad you enjoyed it Kaceey. I wasn't a fan🤣"

I wonder if it was the audio for you too Barbara? Would we both have had a completely different experience with the digital? Camryn less ‘frantic’ in our own minds rather than the narrator’s voice?🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much Tina!🧡

Thank you Catherine! Digital or physical! Either of those I’m sure will provide the best experience! Hope you enjoy! I’ll be watching for your review!💗

Definitely Ceecee! My fault for not switching formats!🙋🏻‍♀️🩵

Julie Fantastic review, Kaceey!! 💖

Thank you Julie!💗


Tara (behind trying to catch up) "A narrator can pull you out of an engaging narrative. I'm so sorry; this one missed the mark in audio format. This one is on my list, and I will read my physical copy of the book and avoid pairing it with the audiobook. Thanks for the terrific, helpful review. I hope your next read is more enjoyable, Kaceey! 💜"

Thank you so much Tara! Loved “A narrator can pull you out of an engaging narrative.”🙌 Hope you enjoy!💗

Karen Excellent review, Kacey. I'm sorry that this wasn't a better listening experience for you. I know when I decide to choose Audio, the narrator is integral in how much 💖😊 I enjoy it. I bought this one and it sounded interesting, but now I wish I didn't. I'm sorry that I missed your review. :)

Thank you so much Karen! I agree a narrator will make or break a read! Going forward…I need to make an effort to change formats if the narrator isn’t working for me! I hope you enjoy!🤞🏼💗
