About This Audiobook

C. Monet weaves a tantalizing tale of Ledisi Darden, a Type-A project manager whose carefully constructed life is turned upside down by a blind date arranged by her best friend. As Ledisi navigates her complicated feelings for Adalis Thomas, the very person who shattered her heart in the past, we're treated to a scintillating exploration of love, vulnerability, and second chances.

Elyce Anthony brings this story to life with a nuanced, engaging narration that deftly balances Ledisi's sharp wit and Adalis's smooth charm. The audiobook's pacing is masterfully controlled, hurtling through a series of clever plot twists and romantic missteps with the ease of a skilled storyteller. With its lighthearted yet emotionally resonant tone, The Devious Date is a delightful listen for fans of breezy, feel-good romance.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I devoured The Devious Date in one sitting, and I'm still reeling from the experience. Elyce Anthony's narration is nothing short of phenomenal, capturing the complexities of Ledisi's emotions with a warmth and depth that's simply impossible to resist. I particularly appreciated the way Anthony brought Adalis to life – his smooth, honey-toned voice perfectly captures the character's affable, charming nature. One area where the audiobook stumbles is in its somewhat rushed pacing during the climactic final act. While the tension is palpable, the narrative feels like it's hurtling towards its conclusion at breakneck speed, leaving a few plot threads feeling somewhat resolved too quickly. Still, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise captivating listen. With its sparkling prose, memorable characters, and effortlessly engaging narration, The Devious Date is an absolute must-listen for anyone in the mood for a lighthearted, feel-good romance.
