A Very Merry Romance

Narrator Ron Butler doesn't take sides as he presents the romantic journey of Marilyn Bannister and Jonathan Madaris. A Houston principal, Jonathan can't date his new teacher, so he secretly transfers her so that he can begin his courtship. Butler embodies the suave confidence Jonathan utilizes to attract Marilyn's attention and persuade her to look past her misgivings. He gives listeners a hero both honest and deeply romantic. Marilyn's dialogue is differentiated subtly. Butler emphasizes her syllables differently so she sounds winsome. Every element of the audio fits together seamlessly. Jonathan and Marilyn's dialogue with each other and with secondary characters sounds immediate, making the listening experience consistently appealing. Jackson's origin story of the Madaris clan will please fans and new listeners alike. C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
