FAKER

Narrator Donnabella Mortel is consistently expressive as she delivers this slow-burn romance. Emmie is one of the few women at a power tool company. Mortel nails Emmie's boss-bitch persona at work, ensuring that Emmie's voice matches her squared shoulders and glare. It's a dismissive tone, coolly professional. At the end of the day, Mortel shifts her tone to reflect Emmie's naturally friendly personality. When a workplace accident has Tate, a hot co-worker who is Emmie's rival, showing a soft side, she begins to question the emotional walls she has put up. The buildup from flirty one-liners to a sizzling encounter will be met with sighs of contentment. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2019]
