PART-TIME LOVER

Narrator Vanessa Edwin's velvety soft murmurings evoke the romantic atmosphere of Paris. Edwin shares the narration with Shane East. The pair voice Elise and Christian, who meet in Denmark and reconnect in France. Edwin assumes an arch, flirtatious personality for Elise, complete with sensual French phrases. As Elise and Christian agree to a temporary marriage to save Christian's family business from a hostile takeover, East portrays Christian as utterly captivated by Elise. His warm voice also holds notes of respect for her, and his English accent is a pleasant foil for Edwin's melting French intonation. In this dialogue-driven story, Edwin and East are completely convincing as two hopeless romantics. C.A. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2020]
