Excellent

Five stars is probably not enough for this book/audio. There's just enough of everything in it. Wonderful characters. Touching storyline. Heartache. And an amazing happy-ever-after. Coupled with an incredible narration, it slips into my re-readable and re-listenable list.

Predictable but satisfying

The only thing that does this light and enjoyable romance a disservice is the narrator’s absolutely terrible attempt at a kiwi accent.

I enjoyed the book a lot and found it hard to push stop.

The character of the kiwi housemate Chloe was a caricature of a New Zealander- obviously the author just googled “New Zealand facts” and tried to put in a few random quotes to make it believable for those who don’t know. The accent and the sentence structures were a mix of overdone rural slang and Australian outback! Apart from that, Summer and Elizabeth’s voices were pretty well done (even though Elizabeth feels 10-20years older than her character is supposedly). I’m still rating this book as a good light read, just beware if you’re a kiwi, the accent will grate!

Superb performance!

I will definitely listen to this again.
It's cute, funny and angsty. The characters are very well-portrayed and characterised.

the voice acting wow

the voice brought the characters to life and enhanced their characters.

There was a good mix of tension and unknown, in the when will they.

Loved it!

In one word: amazing. I came across this almost by accident but as soon as I started listening, I couldn't stop.
The characters are well rounded and interesting. The story is relatively simple yet captivating and there is a fantastic balance of tension and release.
Highly recommend!

Enjoyable as always

First time listening to Breaking Character and it was even more enjoyable than reading it! Love most of Winter's books and have found Dawe to be an excellent narrator! her Kiwi accent is really good - not as good as her Scottish but still good! Being Australian myself, I'm particular about the accent and know both my favourite narrators (Craden and Dawe) drop the ball on the Aussie accent, which I forgave because they're so good at the overall story (although it was distracting and prevented total emersion into the story). Regarding Chloe's Kiwi accent though Dawe did an awesome job and I honestly loved hearing her take on all the characters.
The book was very entertaining and had a great plot. Both MC's were strong and very lovable ...Summer a little extra lovable (again, her voice suited her very well!). Winter's ice queen/feminine love tropes are the best, and as such this does not disappoint. Whilst characters struggle with certain things in their lives I don't feel like the book is heavy on angst, which I love! Another smart read from a great author that has been narrated very well.

Favourite for this author

Excellent story - I hesitated purchasing this book based on book blurb but as I liked other titles by the author I gave it benefit of the doubt. So glad I did.
Just excellent- story characters, dialogue, humor, everything. Narrator is brilliant bringing emotion to acting scenes and individual characters.

Great book

Loved this book, the chemistry between the characters is amazing, story line and sex scenes are done very well. Once I got half way through I couldn't stop listening to it. The chemistry between the characters voices come right through to the audience listening.

It’s official, I have a Serious Problem

I have now listened to all of lee winters back catalogue, and my girlfriend has given up trying to interrupt my listening. Even when the plot (eg holywood) does not interest me, I find myself connecting with characters humanity and their sizzling chemistry. Without too many spoilers, I also love that a wedding trope was avoided, power embalance addressed, men not hated. Guilt free ethically.
