🎧AUDIO VERSION🎧⭐️⭐️⭐️& half /5 performance by Adam Paul

Written in 3rd POV.

ARTICULATION  - clean, clear, precise 
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, relatively low mouth noise
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – attempts to bring to life. Distinct and majorly consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters quite well. 
SEPARATION- some spillover is evident between narration and character, which can be a little disconcerting.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection is not as visual as it could be. 

STORYLINE. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

If BDSM is your thing, then give this one a go. A cross between This Man by JEM and Crossfire by Sylvia Day. I lovely little combo. While the plot is simple, perhaps even a little weak and the characters rather predictable, the writing itself was good. Gabe and Mia make for a good raunchy romance novel.
