The Spicy Pumpkin

An Enemies to Lovers Small Town Smutty Romance Novella

By: Kate Love

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

For the fans of Gilmore Girls & Pumpkin Spice Cafe

Maplewood is my haven, my home, a place where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the scent of old books in my little shop, The Spicy Pumpkin. It’s the town where neighbors greet each other by name.
But when David sweeps into town with his smooth charm and big-city plans, my quiet world is thrown into chaos.
David is a high-powered lawyer with grand dreams of turning Maplewood into the next tourist hotspot. The very thought makes my blood boil.
And I’ll fight tooth and nail to protect it.
But here’s the infuriating part: beneath his slick suits and infuriating ideas, David is... kind. Thoughtful, even.
And when we’re not sparring over town hall proposals, we’re sharing moments I can’t quite explain, moments that make me wonder if there’s more to him than his business plans.
Now I’m caught between my love for Maplewood and a growing love for the man who could change it forever.
Can I trust him with my heart—and my town—or will his ambitions destroy everything I hold dear?

AI voice narrative

I truly struggled listening to the entire story, due to the AI narrative. I will not listen to another audiobook unless actual people are reading and providing emotion behind the words.

AI distracted from storyline

The AI was horrible. It was distracting and took away from the entire storyline. Did not finish.

Hate virtual voice

No emotions or change in pitch or tone. Would have been much better with an actual human.

This felt off the whole time.

there was no variation between characters voices and it made it hard at times to recognize who was speaking.. also, the conversations did not flow correctly and a lot of stuff was said wrong.

Horrible

Idk if it was the AI voices or the repetitiveness. Not for me for sure.
