Is it Gabriel or Gabriell???

It may be a little obvious that the narration drove me a bit insane!!! Some of the characters called the H Gabriel and some of them including the h called him Gabriell, this drove me crazy!!! Sean Crisdan was awesome as always, and the female narrator was not to bad.

Now for the story....I actually thought that it had a good premise, but it fell flat. There was not much couple interaction at first, and then they just live each other. I am going to continue on with this series as I am interested in the next 2 characters, but this one was not a winner for me.

Gentle Giant

This book was a sweet story of how opposites attract. Gabriel and Alba are a sweet couple who have a bumpy start to their romance. It was good how the plot from book 1 entangle in book 2. The plot is somewhat predictable though there are a few twists that keep you wondering what will happen next. The narration was good and the two narrators paired well with each other. The one thing that irritated me about the story was how every grime Spanish was spoken it was translated after. I found this irritating as it would distract from the feeling intended by the language. I did not feel like it needed to be translated, especially when it was a word heard several times throughout the book. Though overall the book is good and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Male narrator awful

May have been a good storyline, but I had to skip every other chapter due to the male narrator. This was a struggle to get through.

Best story so far from the series

The Male narrator accent was the worst part, but a really good story better than the first book.

Male Narrator is terrible

The story is pretty good very spicy. But the male narrator sounds like Puss N Boots. his accent is horrible and inconsistent. and the female narrator keeps calling him Gabrielle but in all the other books he is Gabriel. super hard to get past those two problems to enjoy the story!
