Temperatures Rising

Bernadette Dunne lends her narration skills to the story of an unlikely pair who find romance amid the lush surroundings of a tropical isle. Parrish Island native Chantal du Pont kidnaps architect Scout Ritland to force him to help build a bridge for the people in her native village. Dunne's voice perfectly embodies Chantal with a cultured French accent that is tinged with concern for the villagers she loves. Scout's confident yet seductive American drawl highlights his arrogant nature but also hints at hidden emotions. Varying tone and pitch to distinguish the villagers, Dunne propels the story with crisp, clear narration, providing listeners with an entertaining audio experience. S.M.
