CAN'T RESIST HER

Mooreghan Martin narrates this sapphic romance set in the heart of Texas. Summer Graves strives to preserve the abandoned high school her grandmother founded; Aiko Holt is the architect responsible for its reconstruction. Will their rekindled passion be enough to overcome their differences? Martin brings to life this primarily Black community with a Texas twang. The characters have distinct voices that make them easy to differentiate. However, Martin's impeccable diction often makes the story sound more read than narrated. And she delivers all the dialogue in the same artificial tone regardless of what is going on in the scene. Truth be told, any narrator would find it difficult to elevate the author's clunky speech and methodical descriptions into a noteworthy performance.
