I'LL HAVE WHAT HE'S HAVING

Narrators Shezi Sardar and Brent Billings make an appealing pair in this sweet and steamy romance set in Kansas City. Farzan and David hook up after a case of mistaken identity and some scorching instant chemistry. Farzan would like their relationship to become something more, but David, who is focused on studying for his master sommelier exam, urges them to continue as friends with benefits. Listeners are treated to delicious descriptions of wine and food--Farzan is taking over his parents' Persian restaurant after they decided to retire. Sardar and Billings are charming and believable as Farzan and David, but their voices for each other's characters in alternating chapters are much less successful, and there are enough mispronunciations to be distracting.
