Review:

 Firstly thank you to Hygge Book Tours and Shauna Richmond for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
Now once again I had the audiobook for this one, and unfortunately, once again I did not get on with the narrator. We had a different narrator than we did for book one, so I had hoped I would like the narrator more but alas this was not the case. We had another male narrator but this time he spoke with a very clipped queen's English followed by trying to do a Scottish and Irish accent with little success and it just really put me off. So much so that when I then read the first few chapters again via ebook it put me off the book entirely.
I really enjoyed book one in the series and was really looking forward to diving into book two for this tour but unfortunately, the book fell flat of my expectations. I'm not sure if it's because I really got on badly with the narrator and that then coloured my opinion (I found it difficult to get the bad accents out of my head when reading the rest of the book) or if the book fell into second-book syndrome.
The same banter was there with Tristan and Catherine that I enjoyed in book one and the same connection that they have that I loved in book one was still there but for me, in this book, it didn't hit the same.
I do enjoy Shauna's writing so I think I may skip over to another one of her series and come back to this again when I have the narrator's voice out of my head and see if my opinion changes.
