Reviews
good story
swen
Interesting story though a bit predictable. The reader was a speed reader, even turning the speed down didn’t help much. Also ‘dropped down’ or trailed off on the last word of every sentence. Kind of annoying after while.

This was a fun romance. I am so that the reader affects vocal fry and speed reads. Learn from Simon Evers. Best reader Evers- lol. Thank you for the reading though. It is a lot of work.
slow down reader.
Skh
I had to give up early as I could not keep up with this American speed reader. A pity asI don’t know this story.
