The Seattle Times has shortlisted and headlined Lunar Love under their article “5 Romantic Audiobooks Perfect for Your Valentine’s Day Playlist!” David Wright writes:
Here comes Valentine’s Day to sweeten our wintry disposition, and there’s no better way for audiobook listeners to get in on the fun than with one of these irresistible romantic comedies.
Ease into the sweet sounds of audio romance with Lauren Kung Jessen’s recent debut “Lunar Love,” narrated by Raechel Wong. Olivia Huang Christenson is all business as she steps into the leadership role at her family’s matchmaking service. When she finds herself playfully bickering with Bennett O’Brien over sweet buns at her favorite bakery, she little expects the handsome stranger to become her rival in a high-profile contest between her family’s time-honored methods for identifying the perfect life partner based on the Chinese zodiac, and Bennett’s flashy new online dating app, ZodiaCupid. As a fierce professional battling for survival, Wong isn’t afraid to come on strong, allowing her deep sonorous voice to become more soft and sensual as this star-crossed love affair waxes into a new phase. A classic adversarial romance enriched by its characters’ shared savor for their Chinese American culture and cuisine.
