Left Me Wanting
Nassir Gates has given Keelyn Foster room to grow and become the woman she was meant to be. Time’s running out and Nassir is ready to collect what’s always been his Keelyn! I wanted to like this audiobook more than I did, Nassir is supposed to be a dark character with few redeeming qualities or rather qualities that only Keelyn has privy to. But at every turn I found him making decisions that, to me, made him appear weak. I understand Jay Crownover wants to turn him into a hero, but it’s another thing for him to stop handling his business in his usual brutal manner. If there were more of an epiphany that caused him to change I could accept that, but I didn’t get that from this story. This dual narrated audiobook comes in at just over 10 hours and is read by Youssif Kamal and Sloane Carson. They both did a decent job, but Sloane Carson did a better job of voicing the male characters than Youssif did voicing females. Don’t get me wrong, Youssif did an excellent job as Nassir, as a matter of fact, I loved his reading of that character! But his voicing of Keelyn was screechy and distracting and not at all sexy. If you’ve listened to the other audiobooks in the series, you’re going to want to get this one as well, just be prepared, it may leave you wanting and a Jay Crownover book that leaves you wanting is rare but is still at a minimum a 3 star listen and I’m excited for the next installment!
