Slightly Off Balance

By: Kaylie Hunter

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After Deanna Sullivan—aka Tweedle-Dee—found herself hanging upside down at the town carnival, the last thing she expected was for Reel Thurman to return home.

But when strange occurrences threaten her safety, the overbearing security expert and local legend, Reel Thurman, swoops into town and vows to protect her. Reel might have laser-focused skills and the body of a Greek god, but in Deanna’s opinion, he was supposed to stay in her past—far in her past.

With a mega eye roll thrown his direction, Deanna focuses on her baking, determined to ignore him. But as the ovens heat up, so does the danger level—and the undeniable pull between them.

She’ll have to hang up her apron long enough to stay alive. But can she solve the mystery before Reel Thurman becomes too delicious to resist?

From the Author:

This book was my happy accident. Needing to decompress after writing my more intense suspense crime thrillers, I picked away at this novel and a few months later, out popped Slightly Off Balance.

Though my writing style doesn’t typically bend toward the white light of happily-ever-after, whenever I need a quick laugh, I grab my paperback off the bookshelf to read chapter one—and I'm the one who wrote it!

So even if humorous romantic mysteries are not your cup of tea, I encourage you to click the Look-Inside feature so you can preview the first chapter. It’s worth the time, won’t cost you a penny, and you’ll be rewarded with a bit of fun!

(By the way… Did you catch the initials in the title? SOB? That wasn’t planned either!)

I Don’t like virtual voice!

Did not like the virtual reader/voice. Wrong inflections on the text constantly made me not enjoy the book as much as I should have.

plodding storyline

First, I have to say I hate virtual narration. The intonation and sometimes entire words are just wrong. Next, the storyline plodded slowly along and I was getting annoyed with it. There was no thrill in the suspense.

Nobody is this stupid.

It is really hard to read/hear a book where the protagonist is being stalked and attacked, while through the entire book she attempts to get away from the people who are protecting her. This could be a really good book, but I just can’t keep listening. The author doesn’t even come up with a good reason for the lack of fear or sense. Researched the psychological responses to stalking and life-threatening situations, before writing a protagonist in that situation. It makes the book sound very juvenile.

Auto voice

Good book and story line.
Couldn’t stand the auto read voice. Would have been more enjoyable with a real voice.

true love

Love this book it had comedy and family friends and more. It had it up and down but stayed true to the end. Thank you for another good book.
