🎧AUDIO VERSION🎧   

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ production

🎤 NARRATED BY 🎤Shane East, Lee Ellis, Evelyn Rose, Stella Hunter, John Hartley

Shane and John’s voices were distinct and simply brilliant - they ARE Danny and James. Lee Ellis made for a great Brad, but his rendition of Danny and James did not do it for me. Evelyn Rose as Pearl was fantastic. A shame Vanessa was not available for Rose, however Stella Hunter filled those shoes seamlessly. 

ARTICULATION  - clean and clear - expect for some of Brad’s chapters. Some words when doing Danny and James were a little indistinguishable at times. 

BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise

DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is extremely appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. No editing issues. 

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 – brings to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. (Shane East and John Hartley ARE Danny and James) 

SEPARATION- clear and decisive for all performers.

INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

Now, this was a brilliant wrap up. I loved Brad in this book. He definitely worked his way into book boyfriend status through this story. From man whore to SO much more - swoon worthy. The way all the loose ends seamlessly wrapped together into a neat little bow, the way we got glimpses of everything and everyone so nothing was left to chance, perfection. The 3 epilogues was a glorious touch and made for such a satisfying ending. It was pleasure to walk through these this stories with these boys, a blast. 

While we treated to Danny and Rose (OMG they are a scream), James and Beau were also present albeit a too brief touch on their personal lives. Beau . . . you definitively claimed your bad ass status. A brilliant touch.  

Within this audio version, I would have loved seeing the chapters named with the characters as they were in the previous books. It really did help as an audio book. 

Lee Ellis did a stella performance for Brad however, I did find his characterisations for Danny and James a little grating. Some enunciation issues such as Fury sounded like Furry (But how can anyone compete with Shane East or John Hartley’s perfection) 

Thanks JEM for ANOTHER brilliant series. Your attention to detail in both characterisations and plot development was exquisite in this series. Each story built on each other, the narration was sublime which made for a wonderful experience into the lives of these Unlawful Men. 

Over and out.
