All I want is them to sound natural and not flub words.

There are none that can read text properly without extra contextual commands put by humans. It's all a scam (AI).
It just sounds better in demos. I was invited and used Google's bleeding edge to a book. I did just one chapter and while it sounded nice, it was a failure. You could script intonation, emotion, loudness and phonetic hints in the 1980s.
It's even worse if it's not a USA English text. In other news, AI powered self-service supermarket checkouts train humans to steal, but since it's cheaper than the Irish minimum wage including losses they don't care.
