New ALC review from Dana

Slow Burn

Breathing Hearts #2

By A.K. MacBride

Narrated by Kelli Tager and Gregory Salinas

I’d already ARC’ed the book (Kindle) version of Slow Burn when A.K. MacBride graciously gifted me the audiobook in exchange for an honest review. My rating for the book was “5 stars isn’t enough – I’m dancing away from this book with endless healing stars!” I’ve upgraded this to a gazillion stars. And I’m not dancing away from anything because I’m still laying on the floor in a puddle of happiness. This audiobook is absolutely amazing!!! Kelli Tager and Gregory Salinas are a dream team. Their narration together was nothing short of perfection. They both expertly portrayed our sassy heroine Maddie and broody hero Adam. Their tone, pitch, pacing, and delivery were exemplary. I’m so glad they were cast for these roles. Their voices were very fitting for the main characters and really brought them to life. It was easy to tell they had an emotional connection to this story. This story represents its title very well because of the slow and intense angst and build up. The narrator’s ability to deliver all the delicious tension in this story was quintessential to make this a successful depiction of such a well written book. Kelli and Greg not only met that mark but kicked it to the curb and kept going. Trust me, you need this audiobook in your life!
