AI reading and ✍️ - what a feat!

The performance was amazingly stilted. There was a cadence of pausing every four words- regardless of the punctuation. Speaking of which “give” isn’t givy (minus the y). so bad it was artful. There are other ai readers that actually”tried” - starlight series. This particular “owner” doesn’t seem to givy af. The “story” was similar… other comments state the “positives” (it was only but so long) and the negatives (all other comments - no need to rehash). Truly a feat in showcasing 💩🥀📉🏚️⚰️🚬🧫

Reads like AI wrote it

The AI reader is dull but for background it is ok. The story itself also seems like AI wrote it.

Gross vibes

Gross behavior from men, mainly the captain taking gross advantage of her and the AI voice was badly edited.

The first mate and the debutante

When you first start a story like this, you think that the damsel will wind up with the captain, but in this case it's the first mate.

Izzy can be annoying as she has a lot of self-doubt and she has guilt over killing a man that basically raped her.

There is mixed up chapters, and there are a few holes in this story. One of those holes has you wondering how long it took them at sea to get back to the island, as Anna Marie was all healed from serious injuries, including a compound leg fracture.

If you're looking for spice or steam, you are not finding it in this book. If it wasn't for the kissing, the hand holding the innuendos that there was more than that, and the declaration that they love one another, you would think it just an all female pirate crew story.

The only reason I give this book an R rating is because it has violence.

Besides the faults of the editing and a few other mishaps with this book, it could have been a lot better if done by an actual human instead of virtual voice.

Really a 2.5

Kind of impressed with the quality of the AI voice but this book would have had more of an impact if a person did it. Some sentences just didn’t pack the punch that it could have. Story overall wasn’t bad but it felt like it could have been so much more
