Matched with My Best Friend's Brother

A Small Town Off Limits Romance

By: Lily Jacobson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Crushing on her best friend’s brother was bad enough. Nearly face-planting right into his arms? Kill-me-now mortifying. Why, out of everyone, did it have to be him?

Emma Anderson is the picture of sophistication… most days. But today? Total hot mess. Flat tire, broken heel, frayed nerves—and somehow, she crashes straight into Sam’s arms. She swore to his sister he’s off-limits (or is he?). So why does her heart race every time he’s near?

Sam Davis is a local hero firefighter, but a past tragedy has him swearing off women for good. Emma was always just his sister’s best friend. So why is his heart suddenly doing flips when she's around?

Sam and Emma’s chemistry is undeniable. Mia, the meddling matchmaker sister, isn’t about to let that slide. She’s got a plan to get them together—whether they’re ready or not.

But when a fire threatens Emma’s safety, Sam must face his deepest fear. Can he let go of his past, or will he walk away from the one thing he never thought he needed?

Narration is extremely stilted and flat

The narration is so wooden and robotic that I’m having to bail on this one so I can’t comment on the story itself. The robot's voice with little emotion is really irritating.
I just drilled down and found out this is Virtual Narration- OMG! makes total sense now.- robotic is right. The sentences frequently seem to have the stresses on the wrong words, or are emotionally flat. Why would any author choose to use this? Truly awful. Never again!! learned my lesson.
