Damian's Discipline by Parker Williams, K.C. Wells
4.0
****Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance®****
3.5 Stars -
We first see Jeff in Someone to Keep Me, Collar and Cuffs book 3. It was good to finally get his story and I adored Damian. Jeff himself is heartbreaking. So damaged and unwilling to trust; I ached for him.
The story itself is fairly vanilla, and due to circumstances, we don’t even see them as a couple until very near the end, but the care-taking relationship established is great. We get to see many familiar faces and revisit and catch-up on what is happening in previous book’s relationships. The events in this book take place parallel to those in Someone to Keep Me and A Dance With Domination so it interweaves with those stories but adds some things too.
I was happy with how it all played out.
Narration Review:
I had hoped that this book would be an improvement on the previous in terms of narration but it wasn’t. The overall tone was good, but the accents were terrible. The book takes place in the UK. The characters should all have UK accents, except for Scott who is American. They didn’t. There was a New York sounding accent, various American ones, barely British ones and some vague Irish or Australian type accents. They were all over the place. Plus Jeff sounded like he was wining. All. The. Time. His words themselves weren’t particularly wining (I grabbed a copy of the ebook and read a few passages to see) but the narration made it so. It made it difficult to see past it to the story.
I will restrict my listening of this narrator to books set in America.
