This Is Fate

This was my first Zee Irwin book but it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the story. It's a relatively quick listen at almost 5 hours. But a lot is packed into that time.

If you love a bit of an age gap. A possessive hero who needs to overcome his past hurts, and a strong heroine, who knows what she wants. Then you will love Daniel and Maddie's story. The sparks fly when these two meet, and it is more of a slow burn, but once that tension (that bleeds through the page) becomes too much, it's explosive.

A definite must read. I look forward to more from this author.

Matt Haynes performed this book really well. He had his work cut out for him because the book is dual POV. Casting a single narrator for dual POV is always a difficult one, on the one hand you don't have to worry about the voices sounding different, but on the other, the narrator you choose needs to have a strong voice for the opposite sex. Unfortunately, I don't think it works too well for this book. During Daniel's chapters everything sounded fine, and I enjoyed his performance immensely. However, when it came to Maddie's chapters there just wasn't enough of a feminine flare for me to get as connected or invested. Overall, it was an enjoyable listen, and I give the performance 4 stars. But I do hope future books will have two narrators.
