Augmented

About This Audiobook

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a self-absorbed billionaire gets his reality shattered by an unexpected soulmate, *Augmented* delivers the fantasy with a science-fiction twist. Cordelia Cross isn’t just another damsel in distress—she’s the catalyst for Westley Worthington’s rebirth, and their chemistry crackles with equal parts snark and sincerity. The story blends opulent excess with a grounded exploration of identity and choice, wrapped in a futuristic world where augmentations blur the line between human and machine. Tasha Black’s writing shines in the witty banter and emotional gut-punches, making this more than just a ‘rich guy falls for the girl next door’ trope—it’s a redemption arc with bite.

Mason Lloyd’s narration elevates the material with a velvety baritone that oscillates between Westley’s smarmy charm and Cordelia’s fierce determination. His delivery nails the tonal shifts, whether delivering dry humor or a heartfelt confession, and the pacing keeps the 4-hour runtime from ever dragging. The audiobook’s strength lies in its balance: sci-fi worldbuilding doesn’t overshadow the romance, and the stakes feel personal, not just technological.
