The Unobtainable One

By: Marcia Lynn McClure

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

THE CHILD WAS STRAWBERRY-SWEET AND LOVING…BUT THE MAN WAS FORBIDDEN FRUIT. Annette Jordan had accepted the unavoidable reality that she must toil as a governess to provide for herself. Thankfully, her charge was a joy—a vision of youthful beauty, owning a spirit of delight. But it was Annette’s employer, Lord Gareth Barrett, who proved to be the trial—for she soon found herself living in the all-too-cliché governess’s dream of having fallen desperately in love with the man who provided her wages. The child loved her, but could she endure watching hopelessly as the beautiful woman from a neighboring property won Lord Barrett’s affections?

Kept my interest

I loved all the characters the story line kept me interested from start to finish. Very good read.

did not like virtual voice

did not like virtual voice and story dragged on. was hoping for more romance

abrupt ending

Good story, but ended quite abruptly. Virtual voice is okay, yet needs more fluctuations in tone.

Old tropes

The virtual voice still needs a lot of work. It needs a virtual pronunciation coach.

Good story- bad AI reading

I would have liked the story much more if it had been read by a real person and not AI. A couple of words were pronounced incorrectly and the emotion wasn’t interpreted correctly. I almost quit listening because of the AI, but I wanted to hear the rest of the story.

The story itself was good. I wish the characters had been developed. Little more of a backstory/set up.
