Cup of Sugar
Close to Home, Book 1
By: Karla Doyle
Narrated by: Bradley Ford, Lu Banks
Nia refuses to date her neighbors, though Conn, the good-looking man with no curtains is great to look at. When it's time to go visit her parents, Conn offers to drive her through the horrible storm. Taking him up on his offer, the two begin their journey of trust, friendship and love. Karla Doyle brings to life a fun and adventurous story, giving us all the feels, from frustration to passion to love. Nia is exasperating at times. I know she has a past to deal with but with this man right in front of her, I wanted to push her along. Conn is too good to be true. He too has commitment issues, and though frustrating, his attentiveness and warmth won me over. I loved meeting Nia's family, great secondary characters to build out the story. And Zeus, he just makes the story. A man and his dog, what is not to love?
The narration comes to us by Bradley Ford and Lu Banks. I loved Ford's performance. He understands his character, creates that feeling of warmth, humor and love. Banks has a breathiness to her voice that I was not fond of, but she does bring Nia's character to life. Lots of emotions to deal with, she finds each one and makes it real. The two at times did not meld well, with the female POV much louder than the male, making the volume adjustment constant. The important thing is the narrators made it a fun listen.
