WICKED SEXY LIAR Wild Seasons, Book 4

Feeling cautious because of failed relationships and the opinions of mutual acquaintances, bartender-surfer London Hughes and law clerk Luke Sutter move tentatively from casual hookups to committed dating. Narrator Olivia Song draws out the contrast between London's self-sufficient lifestyle and her uncertainty about Luke's player habits and relationship potential. Song relays London's thoughts about Luke with natural phrasing that is easy to follow. She gives other characters distinct voices although Luke's dialogue is sometimes a little stiff. Narrator Deacon Lee, who delivers Luke's point of view, has trouble maintaining crisp diction, which can be distracting, but his tone of quiet intensity during the romantic scenes is realistic and appealing. Wild Seasons fans will find this narrator combination matches the contemporary yet romantic feel of Lauren's new adult series. C.A. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2016]
