Needs a new performer

Now, I realize it's not going to be re-recorded but if they were going to, change the performer please. Her cadence and inflection never change. Every sentence is read the same; the same emphasis from beginning to end of every phrase. That makes it very difficult to listen to.
The story is your standard "I'm the wrong station" Regency romance. not bad. not great. but it is enjoyable.

Not a.fan of the narration

The narration tone was way too repetitive and ended on the same notes which made it hard to listen to.
