The characters are people of color and the voice used for the security guard\/love interest sounded like an overly macho white man. The characters alternate chapters and it was just such a contrast to the woman&#8217;s voice that it made me laugh the first few times it happened. But I didn&#8217;t let it detract from the story. The event that kicks off the action for the characters to change is directly taken from a social media headline. I kept listening because I wanted to find out how they worked things out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who should read this book?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fans of Alisha Rai, anyone who wants to escape a global pandemic for several hours, or wants sex scenes that don&#8217;t gloss over anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did I read this book?
