Ruined

A Dark Mafia Enemies To Lovers Standalone Romance

By: M. James

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I thought he was nothing more than a rebellious fling. But now I’m his…with no way out.

Ibiza was meant to be an escape. With my father dead, my brother sent away, and my mother frantically trying to marry me off to anyone who will have me, all I want is to forget all of this is happening. So when my friends give me the opportunity to sneak away with them to the mecca of yachts, parties, extravagance and sin–I take my chance and go.

I have every intention of leaving my worries behind me in Chicago, and my virginity in Ibiza–and David is everything I want. Handsome, charming, and utterly uninterested in anything beyond our brief fling, the whirlwind romance he takes me on is one I plan to enjoy every second of, taking only the memories of it when I go.

But too late, I find out that memories aren’t all I have left of our time together. And when I discover that the man I’m meant to marry is the same one who swept me off my feet an ocean away, that secret becomes something far worse. It could end our unwanted union–or make it impossible to escape.

I thought I’d never see him again. But now he’s my reluctant groom–and I’m going to be his ruined bride.

Ruined is a full-length standalone dark mafia romance!

Wild storyline

First, I knew this was AI narrated because it says it right there and easy to see. If I hated AI voice that much I just wouldn’t have listened to it instead of complain afterward. Anyway, I liked the story. I usually like what this author writes. I will be looking for more by them.

Story

Virtual voice was awful. Couldn’t pronounce words and showed no emotion Couldn’t follow along easily

good story...awful virtual voice

I almost couldn't get past the 3rd Chapter, the AI voice was so bad. Although I got through the entire book, and really enjoyed the story, which is very well written, it took a long time because I had to just stop and just take a break from it.

Sexy story but virtual voice lacked emotion.

I loved the build of the story and the steamy, passionate sex between David and Amalie. The story was captivating but the virtual voice diminished the emotion and seemed exactly like a robot during scenes that required inflection, tone and depth to really capture the essence of the characters and their interactions.

Stop with the AI narrator

the storyline was alright, but I definitely felt the story would have been better if the story teller had more life, the AI made the life of the story very dry.
