FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Narrator Angelica Lee does a decent job switching from a neutral accent to a light Scottish brogue but ultimately fails to deliver a truly memorable performance of this contemporary romance with a grumpy hero. Ava Breeveport had a fling with a hot--and rude--Scotsman during a layover and thought they'd never see each other again. When he ends up in Boston in her orbit and their fling becomes more, she will have to decide if she's willing to bet her heart on him. While Lee does deliver a decent Scottish accent, it doesn't reach the gruff tone and growly timbre that the character deserves. More a reading than a true performance, Lee's delivery ticks the boxes but doesn't leave much of an impression. A.L. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2019]
