The Billionaire Bachelor

By: Ali Parker

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The ugly duckling from high school is all grown up, and she’s fiery hot now.

She’s also the CEO of the company I’m trying to work for, and the only thing that stands between me and the next level of my career.

Fortunately for me, most women fall at my feet.

But this ice-hearted beauty from my past?

She has me working my ass off to prove that I’m the right model for the GQ cover.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

This bone structure doesn’t get told no. Not in the boardroom and certainly not in the bedroom.

She can play hard to get all she wants.

She’s just delaying the inevitable.

Because I get what I want and I always have. She’s no exception.

I’m about to steal the front page of her magazine.

Then her panties. And lastly?

Her heart.

DNF - AI Narration Bombed

I love Ali Parker books as a rule so I grabbed this one automatically. When an Artificial Intelligence (AI) voice started speaking, I cringed. I had a talk with myself about giving new things a try and plunged into the book. Just a big NO from me. I got about 33% of the book read, and stopped. I couldn't listen to anymore of the book. I'll read it myself someday.

SOAP BOX:
I love our Narrators and let's not take away their jobs. They are 500% much better at narrating IMHO - not sure that I can even feel humble about this opinion.

I look forward to hearing books narrated because I multi -task. In order to keep my hyper mind from go into panic attacks from over thinking, I put on a book. I average a book/day unless they're 4-5 hours then two books/day. The same is applied in reverse for longer books.

Bottom line: I want to enjoy the sound and story that I'm listening to, have it be authentic as much as a good voice actor can manage (because we're so far past just "narrating" now) and honestly be able to rave about the book. I want to give glowing reviews to all involved. The Arts are Not a place for AI.
