Virtual Reality Bites

By: Ava Wixx

Narrated by: Elena Prince

What happens when a romance author agrees to test romance tropes in virtual reality?

Following divorce number two, Zoe Woods is jaded, bitter, and unable to write her latest novel. For an author whose brand is all about finding true love, that’s kind of a problem.

Desperate to revive her romantic optimism, Zoe accepts an offer from an unlikely place to beta test virtual reality romance tropes. Unfortunately, Zoe jumps in too fast, and instead of a fun romp in virtual Romancelandia to rekindle her creativity, she finds one debacle after another.

Regretting her choices, Zoe realizes nothing is ever what is seems when it comes to love and romance and fantasy versus real world. The only thing she does know for sure is that virtual reality definitely bites.

Super fun idea!

Not sure what I was expecting, but this was a delightful and fun premise! I loved that you got a little taste of a bunch of romance tropes. It was still light, romantic and fun. Romance within a romance. The narrator did a great job voicing all the characters as well.

Ok

I didn’t like that she kept saying obvious things over and over and OVER with shocked surprise, like we didn’t get it the first time — it felt like a sixth grade report where you have to write a certain number of words so she was just filling space. The *idea* was great — but I don’t think she did it justice.
