Title: A Governess of Distinction Subtitle: The Endearing Young Charms, Book 4 Author: M. C. Beaton Narrator: Charlotte Anne Dore Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: A young governess dreams of life in a castle in this historical romance by best-selling author Marion Chesney. Lord Percy Hunterdon despaired: He had inherited a Gothic horror of an estate along with a pair of 15-year-old brats to marry off. It was no secret to him that finding husbands for these two vile young ladies would require the utmost expertise: the care of a governess of superior caliber. When Jean Morrison spied Lord Hunterdon's advertisement, dreams of an unmarried viscount and a magnificent castle danced in her head. She imagined him as Byronic and brooding, pacing the battlements with a black cloak wrapped around his manly shoulders. And naturally he would fall madly in love with her. Her dreams immediately burst apart at the seams when she saw the dank, dirty Trelawney Castle and encountered for the first time the evil dispositions of her new charges. Still, the golden hair and dancing eyes of her employer conjured up fantasies that were most unseemly for a governess of distinction. Members Reviews: Very Entertaining I love all of the little subplots in M. C. Beaton's stories. Just when you think you know enough to predict what's coming next, she brings something else into play. Of course, the main elements conform to the Regency romance genre. Ms. Beaton is a master storyteller. Fun story. Two 15 year old minions of Hell The Viscount not only inherited money and a estate, but the supposed 2 daughters of the former master and his maid. His keeping the inheritance totally hinged on taking care of the two devil girls. What I particularly enjoyed was that the girls were most irredeemable as usually in these stories the governess somehow transforms them with her love and care. Yes the loving governess is there, yet so are the bad seeds. Never fear, a HEA ending is achieved. I enjoyed this book very much I enjoyed this book very much. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I ordered two more books by this author. I am not a great fan of a lot of sex, this told it like you knew what they did without so much detail...good for MC Beaton. Funny, witty author I love M. C. Beaton (Marion Chesney). I have read all of her books. A Governess of Distiction - A Review If all governesses had such an "easy" life as this main character then there would be no need to read about them.

Title: Texas Blue Subtitle: A Whispering Mountain Novel, Book 5 Author: Jodi Thomas Narrator: Linda Stephens Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jodi Thomas won the coveted Romance Pioneer Award and a 2011 Reviewers Choice Award for Texas Blue. Lewton Paterson is a gambling man hoping to put his rough-and-tumble past behind him and marry into a quiet, respectable family. Arriving in Whispering Mountain, Lewt sets his sights on one of the McMurray sisters. But it doesnt take long for Lewt to realize that gambling on love is his riskiest proposition yet. Members Reviews: Great Story, terrible narration This is one of the best stories in this series so far but the narration is awful. Stephens pauses at the wrong time in a sentence and puts emphasis in the wrong places. She also has long dramatic pauses and swallows a lot. She was better about not making everyone sound like crusty ole cowboys but honestly, if I hadn't already bought the series I would not buy anymore narrated by Stephens. Texas Blue The fifth book in the Whispering Mountain series, is the first book with the second generation. Duncan "Duck" McMurray is now a Texas Ranger and has decided to send three men to Whispering Mountain Ranch, three "gentlemen" picked to call on Duncan's cousins. When his friend Lewton Paterson, wanting a chance to married into a good family decides to take the place of one of the gentlemen callers. While Duncan goes to the Texas-Mexico border to fight cattle rustlers, not wanting to go with the men to Whispering Mountain to face his cousins. Lewton soon finds out that the three women are just what he is looking for, but they are not liking for anyone like him. So he ends up spending his time working the ranch, the hardest work he has ever done; but he likes the work. In the end Lewton and a ranch-hand Em have to go to the border to try to save Duncan's life. This is a great story that Jodi Thomas had written, it lives up to the rest of the stories in this series. Linda Stephens does a good job with the narration. Won't listen to this narrator again. What did you like best about Texas Blue? What did you like least? I enjoyed the continuation of the Whispering Mountain series. It would have been nice to include more of the characters from previous books. I found that narration extremely lacking and dramatic pauses way passed annoying. I won't listen to this narrator again. I'm disappointed that the same narrator did most of Jodi Thomas' books. How could the performance have been better? Speed up the narration and cut the dramatic pauses completely. It was often dead slow and difficult to listen to.

To Marry an Heiress Audiobook by Lorraine Heath

Title: To Marry an Heiress Author: Lorraine Heath Narrator: Vanessa Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-12 Publisher: HarperCollins Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The USA Today best-selling author returns with an unforgettable tale of a marriage of convenience that becomes a love match. Members Reviews: Narrator Ruined a Good story I got almost half way through listening and finally decided to stop listening and just buy the book and finish it on my Nook. The story really was a good story, but the narrator was just not very good at all. Storg American marries an Earl Every title I finish in this series leaves me thinking it is better than the last. This was a heartwarming story. The characters are flawed, but redeemable. I enjoyed the strong Georgina (Gina) and how she rose to every occasion. The characters are very relatable. I was outraged that the dummy Earl didnt even mention that he had two children until they arrived at his home! What a &%^*! However, Gina handles that too and teaches the Earl not only to love, but how to be a father and husband. Great story! The other reviewers mention the narrator, but I thought it was fine. I believe a good narrator is one that makes you forget the story is being read and all you see is the story. This is certainly the case with this audible book. The story is mediocre, the narrator is FANTASTIC! I probably would not have finished this book had it not been for the wonderful narration. I downloaded this book and another in the series and literally could not finish the other because it was too hoaky. Now, when someone say's a romance novel is hoaky, that is BAD! This is my first book narrated by Vanessa Hart. She has a voice very similar to one of my all time favorite narrators, Barbara Rosenblat, only more haunting. I don't remember what the story was about, but I do still hear her voice in my ears. Good Story but narrated poorly! What did you love best about To Marry an Heiress? The plot and the overall story was very good. Enjoyed hearing how they come to love each other. Who was your favorite character and why? Didn't really have a favorite character. What aspect of Vanessa Harts performance would you have changed? I would change how she reads! What I mean is, she READ's well, but seems to make a statement sound like a question, or a question sound like a statement. Seems to add comma's where there should be none, than she sounds flat and uncaring when she should be very excited! Really made it hard to listen to the whole story. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I like how our hero comes to understand that he is in love with his new wife.

Provocative in Pearls Audiobook by Madeline Hunter

Title: Provocative in Pearls Author: Madeline Hunter Narrator: Polly Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-10 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 137 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Their marriage was arranged, but their desire was not...After two years, Grayson Bridlington, The Earl of Hawkeswell, has located his missing bride Verity Thompson. Coerced into marrying Hawkeswell by her duplicitous cousin, Verity fled London for the countryside. Now, the couple must make the most of an arranged marriage-even if it means surrendering to their shared desire. Members Reviews: I couldn't listen to the 'heroine' a second longer I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of audio books the majority being historical romance. In all that time I have NEVER had a extreme reaction to a specific character and I have NEVER been so disgusted that I HAD to turn it off. I am very tolerant actually, listening to awful narrators just to hear the story, or tolerating a story just for the sake of getting to the ending. I have more trouble finding faults with the experience overall then anything else, since I consider a book to be just a book, meaning one authors idea for a story and to be appreciated for what it is on it's own, not in comparison with any other. BUT my reaction to this was extreme! I don't doubt that to read this story it may be perfectly enjoyable. And I don't doubt that the narrator delivering any other book would be fantastic as she is quite good. But Polly Lee must have decided that Verity is even a more selfishly awful creature then she is in order for her portrayal of her to be so exactingly extreme. She may have hit the nail on the head since I don't like her, Verity that is. She is such a dislikeable bitch that I couldn't 'listen' a minute more!!! Her personality became offensive to me, which is how she is written and obviously meant to be I am sure, but she sounds like such a hatefully selfish bitch that I couldn't stand to HEAR her! So is my extreme hateful reaction due to how well she is written or how she is delivered? I enjoyed every other word that the narrator spoke... but my enjoyment of the book was totally driven to hatred by Verity. Perhaps it was both. Since she is the goal post of this book it's hard to differentiate. In other words... maybe the author did this one charactar so well and the narrator delivered her so exacting that it spoiled any hope the book had of being good.. and perhaps wading thru it would have lead to something enjoyable, but after hours of nothing but Verity I couldn't bear it any longer. Perhaps part of the tale is her transformation... which would make it a great book. But I had wasted enough time and run out of patience long before any hint of it. Will I try another by this author? I don't dare! Will I buy another with Polly Lee? I have heard her before and never had a bad thing to say, she is an exceptional narrator! CREDIT worthy, not in my humble opinion. It felt like self inflicted punishment since I wanted to shut it off longggggg before I did. HEAT factor... just my contempt for Verity. If things got steamy later I couldn't say. Generally... leave this one alone, read it maybe.... but only listen if you are totally unaffected by a specific unlikeable character. Fun Story, Good Reader, One Audio Editing Flaw This was my first Madeline Hunter book, but it won't be my last (especially since I didn't realize when I downloaded it that it was the second book in a series!).

For years Martha York has been fascinated by a man she's never met - Jordan Hamilton, the new Duke of Roth and protégé to her inventor father. Could the elusive gentleman possibly live up to his brilliant letters? When Martha travels to his estate to carry out her father's last bequest, she discovers that the answer is a resounding yes, for the duke's scientific mind belies a deep sensuality. Jordan was determined to complete his prototype alone, but it's impossible to resist the alluring young woman who shows up at his door. Working together, they grow ever closer until a case of mistaken identity leaves him bound to another. A woman's heart may be more complex than the most intricate invention, but Jordan must find a way to win Martha's or lose the only woman who can truly satisfy him. Members Reviews: I'm not a fan of scheming other woman books I also do not like weak heroines. The performance was great. I really liked the narration. The sub plot just wasn't believable enough to carry it off. BUYER BEWARE HORRIBLE STORYLINE!! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? NO ONE THIS IS JUST A BAD STORYLINE!! What was most disappointing about Karen Ranneys story? WEAK INSURE PLAIN SPINISTER HERION AND DISSAPPOINTING APATHATIC HERO!! Did the narration match the pace of the story? NO TIM CAMPBELL WAS GOOD BUT HE WAS WORKING WITH A VERY FUSTRATING STORYLINE What character would you cut from The English Duke? ALL OF THEM!! Any additional comments? The English Duke has to be one of the Worst Stories I have ever listen to. This is a Unhappy story!! I would love to ask Karen Ranney what was she thinking? This is a story full of Angst, Frustrations, Stupid hero Jordan Hamilton Duke of Roth and the mousy, insecure and plain spinster Martha York. Martha had No Gumption!! No Fight in her. Just Blah!! I have been in bed very sick with phenomena while trying to listen to this story on audible. But I felt so much anger at this story I felt like throwing my kindle. The story is not just about Jordan the Duke of Roth and Martha York but about her sister Josephine York and Jordan's best friend Reese Burthren. Josephine is a spoiled brat who feels entitled to anything she wants and sees. As soon as she sees Sedgebrook the Historical Prestigious Home of Jordan the Duke of Roths she wants the prestigious home and the title of Duchess of Roth.

Martha and Josephine are Heiress to a vast fortune. Which in the end Josephine did not deserve and the author should have found away to take away her inheritance from her "Not" father, who was not her real father. She is Illegitimate. Josephine and Reese are despicable characters. After Jordan takes Martha's virginity which was a boring scene he doesn't remember. Until Martha tells the scheming Josephine what happen. Josephine goes to the grandmother and pretends it was her that the Duke Seduced her and took her virginity. Josephine never was a virgin and had been having sex with Jordan "Supposedly" best friend Reese.

Lady Bess Audiobook by Claudy Conn

Title: Lady Bess Author: Claudy Conn Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-20-15 Publisher: Claudy Conn Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Bess Saunders has fallen in love. He is big, he is charmingly masculine, and his Scottish accent sends her reeling with very unmaiden-like desires. Having inherited his mother's English home and title, Earl of Dunkirk of Scotland is considered a prize catch by the haute ton. He knows one day he will have to marry to carry on his name, but he wants a wife who "understands" they will each go their own way after she gives him an heir - a marriage of convenience. Lady Bess does not fit into those plans. How could she? She is exquisite, yes, but she is also an innocent who expects faithfulness. He won't ruin an innocent, and yet, he can't get her out of his head. All this time, and right in their midst, evil hovers. Although Bess doesn't look for it, she finds it - and Bess is not your average, simpering female. She takes on danger and mayhem like she does everything else: full throttle. Adventure ensues as we travel with Bess through romance and the battle of her life. Members Reviews: Romantic fun with adventure What made the experience of listening to Lady Bess the most enjoyable? The accents and characterization of the reading. It brought the story completely to life. Who was your favorite character and why? The earl of Dunkirk. He doesn't want to fall in love but he can't help himself. And Bess of course. She's so spunky. What about Stevie Zimmermans performance did you like? Stevie brings the characters to life so clearly. She is really great with accents and somehow manages to distinguish between the male and female characters without sounding fake. And there are lots of great regional characters too. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Mostly laugh. Although there's a bit of adventure and suspense you never doubt how it will end -it's how you get there that is gripping. Wonderful story I absolutely loved this story! The characters were very engaging with plenty of chemistry! The narrator was wonderful!

Title: Dream Castle Author: Andrea Kane Narrator: Gemma Dawson Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Her dark past could become her future, and only one man can save her. The dream is always the same. The terrifying stalker. The gaping abyss. She can see herself running, desperate to escape the huge black beast waiting to devour her. For Kassandra Grey, there is only one refuge from her nightmare - and a horrifying secret hidden in the swirling mists. Braden Sheffield first spies her on a deserted beach - a lone figure who emerges from the fog like a stunning apparition. Betrayed by the woman who was to be his bride, the world-weary duke of Sherburgh is captivated by Kassies youth and beauty, by her candor and the tinkling music of her voice. But Kassies life is in grave danger. As passion ignites between them, Braden vows to protect Kassie no matter the cost - and to preserve a love that could be the fulfillment of their happiest dreams. Members Reviews: Romantic Historical Mystery! A romantic historical mystery is definately more like it!! Definately a dream holding a nightmare... literally!!! This nightmare driven love story is great! I was surprised at how quickly the time passed.... it was well written, excellently performed and contained so much mystery, so many twists and turns, so much treachery and such extremes of heart wrenching emotion, that I was thoroughly entertained and wanted nothing more than to be left alone to listen. Can't say better then that I guess. CREDIT worthy, YES!!! HEAT factor.... 4! Dream Historical Romance with Stunning Naration Any additional comments? This was a great listen! I was moved by the love story. It was made particularly enjoyable thanks to the impressive narrator . She captured the essence of the characters and mood of the piece extraordinarily well. Sensational book by Andrea Kane! Beautifully Acted Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! This book has it all: Tantalizing romance (in great detail), mystery, suspense, complex believable characters and an unexpected twist at the end. Ms. Kane is a master of historical romance. This story was impressively acted by Gemma Dawson. I seek out her performances as she is not your average narrator; she passionately acts the story out in a way that truly and uniquely brings it to life. Some prefer a flatter more neutral read- I do not. I think that such compelling and emotionally stirring stories are enhanced by a passionate and realistic performance. What did you like best about this story? Everything! I loved the setting, not just the historical back-drop but the mystical element of nature that permeated the story and in a way defined the characters. Kassandra is a wonderful heroine, displaying such maturity and strength for a girl who has suffered though such extreme abuse and isolation. The scenes with her father are heartbreaking, as he attacks her in fits of alcohol induced rage, but Kassie endures and finds her strength and safety in Braden. I love the supporting characters as well, they were wonderfully drawn; the shrill and bitchy Abigail Devon, the ever present support of Charles, the bumbling Percy... they all beautifully contributed to Ms. Kane's intricate tapestry and all were voiced with versatility, flair and conviction by Ms. Dawson. Which scene was your favorite? I don't want to ruin any of the mystery so I shall say the opening scene where Braden is captivated by a young and sassy Kassandra on the beach.

What He Would Not Do Audiobook by P O Dixon

Title: What He Would Not Do Subtitle: Mr. Darcy's Tale Continues Author: P O Dixon Narrator: Pearl Hewitt Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-13 Publisher: P.O. Dixon Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: This romantic tale begins where To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too), the amorous, provocative, and entertaining adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, finished. Having overcome the many seeming obstacles to marrying Miss Elizabeth Bennet, his former employee and the woman of his dreams, Mr. Darcy must now reaffirm his promise to be a man truly worthy of her affections. Confronted, out of the blue, with the intimate knowledge of her husband's rakish past, Elizabeth too is obliged to reconsider long held tenets that otherwise threaten to tear them apart. If you enjoyed To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too), you will take pleasure in listening to what happens after the honeymoon is over. Members Reviews: Great story! Loved it! I wasn't sure if I would like listening to the book but I was pleasantly surprised! I had the option of using a headset if others were around or listening while doing other things like making my tea! If you have been unsure just try it. I think you will like it! Darcy's tale & entertainment continue While listening to Ms Hewitt's outstanding performance in reading "What He Would Not Do," I am not doing mundane everyday activities, rather I am transported to a time long since past. I am wearing flowing gowns and attending balls! Ms Dixon's sweeping landscape is made vividly real by this narrator's rich and authentic vocal talent. Her accents are flawless. Individual characters are well defined in tone & timbre and therefore are easily distinguished and differentiated. Although I look forward to the resolution of story lines and subplots, I find myself sad when the book concludes. While certainly this genre of writing may not be for everyone, Ms Dixon creates a world true unto itself. Yes, some of the character's decisions may seem illogical to us in 2014, but 'read' very true to the time period in which the story is set. It does make me realize how fortunate I am to be a female in this century and to be grateful for the liberties I have, yet helps one to understand the norms of that society and appreciate the choices they made even if I do not agree with them by today's standards. It is lovely to journey back to that time and then to come home again when the story is concluded. Again, well done ladies!

Title: The Courtship of Miss Loretta Larson Author: Mary Lou Cheatham Narrator: Jodi Hockinson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 08-19-15 Publisher: Mary Lou Cheatham Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The year is 1908. Loretta Larson, in her thirties, has many blessings in her life. She is attractive and accomplished, and she has so much money that her teaching salary is not enough for her to notice. But what she does not have is a man who loves her. She suffers in a damaging relationship with a cruel and dishonest banker in the village of Taylorsburg, a southern Mississippi railroad town. Will she ever find love? Members Reviews: Very Entertaining. A Great End of the Summer Read What made the experience of listening to The Courtship of Miss Loretta Larson the most enjoyable? Years ago I listened to the series of Miss Julia by Ann B. Ross audiobooks and I really enjoyed them. I found Mary Lou Cheatham's book just as entertaining. This is the first book by this author that I have listen to and I would be interested in hearing more of her works. I did, however, find that the narrator's (Jodi Hokinson) voice made me sleepy. Not a problem if I am listening to them before I go to bed, but it is a problem if I am driving. So, I bumped up my speed to 1.25 and found that tempo more pleasant for my circumstances. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Courtship of Miss Loretta Larson? I liked that Miss Loretta was writing romances on the side, especially the scene she was thinking of about with the Scottish heroine. Miss Loretta is a great character and, in the genre of Christian Romance, I like that Miss Loretta's Christianity was preachy or holier than though. In spite of her circumstances, she remained strong and thanked God, even for her challenges. What three words best describe Jodi Hockinsons voice? Monotone, slow, adequate If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? One man wants her for her money; the other for her biscuits. Any additional comments? I, the person actually writing this review, am actually the wife of Philip Taylor who is signed up on Audible. He purchased a copy of this book during a promotion, and I listened to it. Although he also listened to it along with me at times, i doubt he would ever write a review. Mary Lou Cheatham recently joined Grave Expectations, a writers group that I have been a member of for three years. Though Ms. Cheatham lived in Ruston, Louisiana, the same town where I live, we had not previously met. However, I did not let this influence my rating and review. Listening to The Courtship of Miss Loretta Larson was really a treat for me. As I said before, it reminded me of the Miss Julia series and truly enjoyed them all. I am very pleased that Ms. Cheatham decided to pursue audiobooks, because I rarely have time to sit and read, but I can always find time to listen to a book while doing something else. On occasion, I do read books by self or independently published authors, and often I can tell that they lack the polish or good storytelling. Not the case in this book. Ms. Cheatham is an excellent storyteller and this book is very well written!

Jonathan Craven was involved with the Lords of Anarchy, a notorious driving club, and Leonora can't help but suspect foul play. But the only way she can infiltrate their reckless inner circle is to enlist the help of Jonny's closest ally, Lord Frederick Lisle. If only he didn't also happen to be the man who broke Leonora's heart.... Frederick isn't surprised to find gorgeous, headstrong Leonora playing detective, but he knows that the Lords of Anarchy mean business-and he has no choice but to protect her. A sham engagement to Leonora will allow Frederick to bring her into the club and along for the ride. But it isn't long before pretending to be lovers leads to very real passion. With everything to lose, is their tempestuous affair worth the risk? Critic Reviews: "This is a fresh and promising start to the series." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: So boring The plot never quite developed and what wrap up came very rushed at the end. I love Anne Flosnik, but even her narration couldn't save the story.

Title: Whispers in Time Author: Becky Lee Weyrich Narrator: Emily Cauldwell Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-16-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Renowned psychic Carol Marlowe was in sultry New Orleans on police business. Until an enchanted midnight bayou ride sent her spiralling back through time into the body and soul of a Creole belle, and into the arms of her seductive renegade lover. Suddenly Carol was caught in a world of scandal and intrigue. . . even as she surrendered to the fires of forbidden passion. Though danger threatened, she was determined to cherish her new-found happiness --- for she was living a love destined to last for all time. Members Reviews: TWO VERY HAUNTING LOVE STORIES OVERLAP CENTURIES I hadn't heard of this author before but took a chance and it's one of those times when it pays off and you're so glad you did. BLW puts SO much detail into every scene you feel transported to either the bustling streets of present day New Orleans or to a Gone With The Wind type era where there was little choices for women of breeding. But in either time there's a damaged Hero and a heartbreaking story waiting to be told. When Carol, the Physic, gets a call from Detective Frank from New Orleans asking for her help in trying to identify a mummified body her life will never be the same.... it'll be controlled by fate and mystical forces and when they meet there's an instant connection like they've met before. Their instant connection, ease with one another and joint desperate desire to find out just who the woman's body was is going to stir up a lot more than just facts.... a desire to change her fate which will have a dramatic and unforeseen effect on their own fates. Once I started this very well-written sweeping book that must have involved a lot of research, I couldn't stop listening as there were so many twists and turns and, with each one, came new revelations but also new questions, twists and dilemmas. Two love stories that overlap time, there's a heartbreaking story in Frank's life, a Murder, visions, spooky bits, romance, sex (not too graphic), interesting secondary characters, a dual.... oh the list goes on and on and on so you'll just have to listen to it yourself to get the full spectrum of events and emotions all contained in this one listen. Worth a credit? Oh boy YEAH is it ever, but it's a complicated listen that's (obviously) totally unrealistic but it was so captivating, romantic and mind altering that I've already put two more of her books in my cart. Dual POV's and with some other character's POV's along the way and the Narrator did an fantastic job in bringing the whole story to life.

While working in the manicured gardens, she becomes a muse to the celebrated painter Giovanni Segantini, who takes her under his wing. Although hes married, the two bond closely, and beneath his gaze Nika blossoms. She opens her heart to Segantini, serving as the muse for his luminous masterwork La Vanità, and through his patience recovers her voice. The secret between them is her sole material possession: a golden locket with clues to her mysterious heritage. How will Nika learn the hidden secrets of the locket and uncover her origins? And what path awaits her once the facts are revealed? As her ties to Segantini grow ever more complex, her search for love and truth becomes as perilous as the quest for an alpine summit - and her destiny is rewritten on the journey. Members Reviews: Snapshots of characters Kindle First featured this historical fiction book as an August choice. Since historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, it was a quick choice. About 15% into this book, I was still enthused enough to do some research on Segantini and his paintings. I was also interested in learning more about St. Moritz and that area of Europe around the end of the 19th century. So I read some articles on line, checked out Segantini's art and was in the mind set to really enjoy this book. The historical fiction novels that I love best are those that make an impact by having a strong story and characters placed into a historical period. Unfortunately, I did not find that in Dorthe Binkert's PORTRAIT OF A GIRL. The author uses narrative text more than dialogue to move the story along and , at times, I thought that the narration had the same tone as the background articles that I read. There are so many characters crowded into a very short period and all seemed to receive equal time and treatment by the author. This had the effect of giving the reader very superficial knowledge of each and , thus, reading about their emotional trevails fails to elicit a strong emotional reaction. In short, it's hard for the reader to care. My favorite books always leave me with a bit of sadness when I have reached the end. In this case, I was quite content to select the "remove from my Kindle" option. Couldn't even finish it The book is supposed to be set in 1800s but the language the author used was not authentic. The phrase "suck up to people" is an example. One of the characters tells his son to go get him a beer. From the fridge? It was slow moving. Seems like a good premise but it was not very well written. 2 1/2 stars for murky ending While Nika is the character upon whom the title is based, there are numerous other characters of importance. The story is rather slow starting but I am glad that I stuck with it. Many relationships develop during the story, more than one where Nika is concerned. I liked her as a heroine because she continually wanted to learn, she had the strength and grit to rise above her beginnings, was determined to find out all she could about her mother and family, and became self supporting. So, why only 2 1/2 stars? To explain I must reveal SPOILERS ahead. For me, the ending was not satisfying.

Selecting the most desirable lady in the town, Henry turns to his best friend and companion to help him with his suitYoung and beautiful, war widow Frances Whittier is no stranger to social intrigue. She finds Henry Middlebrook courageous and manly, unlike the foppish aristocrats she is used to, and is inspired to exercise her considerable wit on his behalf. But she may be too clever for her own good, and Frances discovers that she has set in motion a complicated train of events that's only going to break her own heart. Members Reviews: This could have been a good book The narrator was very good, and a lot of the story was good. The dialogue was very well written, the story line was a good one even though it was a little drawn out, but the "hero" of the story was super annoying. Basically he whined throughout the whole book about his disability - he seemed to have a pity party in just about every chapter. I fast forwarded toward the end just to get through with the book.

The Marquis of Steyne had agreed to wed and bed Lord Bute's admittedly lovely daughter to pay off his mother's gambling debts. But once the deed was done, Steyne's lawfully wedded wife vanished into the night. Years later, Steyne has nearly forgotten about his runaway bride. But when he suddenly finds himself in need of an heir, he has no choice but to track her down. Living happily in a small village under an assumed name, Lizzie is surprised to see her husband - and to feel such a strong attraction to him. But she is downright shocked when he asks her to bear him a son. How can they possibly repeat the heated encounter of their ill-fated wedding night - without falling hopelessly in love? Critic Reviews: "Lizzie and Xavier's relationship plays out with a great deal of parry and thrust, as Brooke takes obvious glee in muddling her characters' lives." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Awesome Story I loved this story I have been waiting for Xaiver's story he has always been such a bad boy and for good reasons I really wanted to see his HEA and what a great one it was. After his cruel mother Nerissa sets him up with Lord Bute's daughter many years before it is time that Xavier finds Lizzie again but she is so different now a lot has happened and Lizzie is determined to get Xavier's trust and love this starts a journey that is sensual and filled with danger but Lizzie is strong and brings out the best in Xavier and with the other Westruthers to help this one will have you smiling and turning the pages to get to the end although I didn't want it to end. I highly recommend this one and the series as MS Brooke takes us on a heartwarming sensual and magical journey into the Regency era. What a great story.... Oh My...what a good read. Don't let the title fool you,,,he got his reputation by being so mistreated by the Mother who never loved him and a father who cared less..The women who loved him; loved him believed in him and gave him babies they could love. Sweet story, recommend to all happy endings . Fairly good read Good lots of drama. My only problem was I didn't buy him falling for her. He's worldly and she has lead a sheltered life. After one encounter with her husband she runs away and lives in a small village with a preacher and his wife. Her husband knows where she fled to all these many years and doesn't give her a second thought until he needs an heir. Then we are suppose to believe he has love for her? He tells her, give me my heir and a spare and you can retire back to the country. Guess this must turn her to mush because she decides quite quickly thereafter that she will win his love? The whole issue with his mother kept me interested in this one. It was nice reading about characters from past books and getting updates on them. But their feelings for each other didn't ring true for me. Meh... I pre-ordered this one and couldn't wait for it but it was just okay. I like when books give me butterflies, this one didn't do it much for me... The love scenes were great but the feelings/sparks were missing. I also felt like there was a bunch of random ramblings about stuff that could have been taken out.

An impassioned Tory in a sea of Whigs, Letty has no intention of changing her political views. The headstrong noblewoman soon discovers she has enemies at court, and none more formidable than the powerful - and irresistible - Viscount Justin Raventhorpe.

As scandal threatens their passionate union, a deadly conspiracy against the throne thrusts Letty into mortal peril, and Justin realizes how far he'll go for a love that has become his most dangerous obsession. Members Reviews: Disappointed I found the characters uninteresting and the story to much like a school lesson. This book was not even close to book #3 . It seems this series alternated between first a good book then a bad book, then a good and bad again. I was definitely disappointed. Great story How did the narrator detract from the book? I find that the narrator makes the listening difficult . A good storyteller, but the exaggerated 'upper class' English accent used is grating and stilted. If it could be a little less forced it would be easier on the ear. I have found this with the other Dangerous series books too.......but I love the Author so I keep struggling Was Dangerous Lady worth the listening time? Excellent story as usual from Amanda Scott

More than an adventure, as she and Jarvis work together to resolve the siblings' dispute, they find themselves battling a passion that neither can deny. In competition with each other and with themselves, they fight to uncover a love that is worth sacrificing for and a life after heartbreak. Please be advised: steam level - hot! Members Reviews: LEARNING TO LIVE AGAIN This wonderful series continues with people we met in earlier books and new people we meet in this addition of the Hot On The Trail Series. This book can read as a standalone, but the series is so enjoyable and with so many of the people from this wagon train being in each story, I recommend reading them all. Widow, Alice Porter, is traveling with her parents and sister from New York City to Oregon. After the storm and tornado that hit the wagon train causing Emma, her mother and Dr. Meyers to stay behind for her to heal, Alice and Mr. Sutton continue on the train. Arriving at Ft. Bridger in the Wyoming territory finds him sick with influenza, making them stop while the train continues on. Militiaman, Flint Javis, is taken with the widow immediately and assist her and her father. A young man, Frankin Haskell, comes to the fort begging for help with a border war between his father and aunt. Jarvis and Alice accompany him back to act as mediators. The story is full of heartache, regrets, new opportunities, forgiveness, reconciliation, leaning how to live again and love. Sometimes it takes an outside situation to open your eyes to your own feelings. So many HEA are found in this book. New adventures are on the way in the next one. Each book can be read as a standalone however I recommend reading in order as you get to feel that ... Merry Farmerâs writing flows smoothly and consistently throughout the book. The premise is solid and unique. Each book can be read as a standalone however I recommend reading in order as you get to feel that you are a part of the wagon train and become friends with the characters you read so much about. Some characters you learn to like and some you just donât like at all. I like that the characters donât immediately fall in love. It takes days and months for their affection to grow into something beautiful that is perfect for each couple. This book shows you that you can go through a loss and grieve and yet love can find you when you least expect it. I liked that the book was set âoffâ the trail on a ranch. I had to laugh at the little things that Franklin kept pulling however in the end he learned a valuable lesson. I think this story had two happy endings, one for the couple and one for the brother and sister.

She has spent her entire life striving to appear quiet, demure, and subservient in an attempt to keep from drawing scrutiny. All that changes when she encounters Sir Jarin Maignart. He is an enemy of her people, and a treasonous murderer - yet those facts mean nothing when she uncovers the complex man inside. Her people scorn her for caring for him, yet no other man has ever seen her as more than a half-breed oddity. With him, she blossoms into the kind of woman she always wished she could be. Jarin knows he has done nothing to deserve Lynet's love. A traitor and usurper, he has taken lives unjustly and committed treason against the realm. Yet, in Lynet he sees redemption and dares to hope he can become a better man. When a deadly plot against his family is uncovered, Jarin will face a choice between saving his own skin, or suffering the consequences of disobeying the terms of his banishment by returning home to set things right. Can the sullied knight atone for his sins and become worthy of forgiveness and love? Members Reviews: A LESS COMPLEX CAST AND A SUPERB STORY Any additional comments? I received this book from the author for an honest review through Audiobook Boom. I was pleased to have Jarin's story continue with a HEA ending. He was so misunderstood and mislead by circumstances that I liked him despite his previous actions. Family love is strong and these books hail that message. I hope to learn more of the strong family bond between the three (bastard) brothers of different skin. Elise? Narrator does excellent male voices, keeping them distinguishable even though there are many. Female voices, not so much. Maybe it's just the haughty inflection he gives them. We women don't sound like that! All in all, 2 THUMBS UP! Great addition to the series Any additional comments? Another fantastic addition to the series. Once again the story is well written, interesting, entertaining and very enjoyable. This story is a bit less complex than the full length novels but it is just as addicting. My only complaint is that it was to short. Love the world the author has created. This is one of those series that once you start you your hooked and can't wait for the next installment. The whole series is absolutely worth your time and credit. Normally I don't listen to novellas from a series (under 5 hours) I wait for them to be compiled into one longer book, but Elise Marion knows how to write one heck of a story and I would make an exception for these novellas. Eric Burns does a fantastic job once again with the narration. Nice vice. Great character voices. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Narration flowed smoothly. Very enjoyable listen.

Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-16 Publisher: Gold Crown Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Declan O'Bryan left Ireland to seek his fortune in the New World, but the journey was long for a man without a penny to his name. It took years of back-breaking work as a sailor and a journeyman for him to finally reach Montana, and to have enough money to his name to earn the title of proud homesteader. There's only one thing missing from his life now, and unlike the boys in town, he's not convinced a man should find a wife in a catalog, the same way he buys a plow. But for Margaret McGreggor, answering an advertisement for a wife is the only way she can get out of her sister's cramped apartment and start a new life for herself. She came to America for adventure and opportunity, and marrying a stranger just might provide her with both. Members Reviews: A Sweet Western Romance.. Any additional comments? This is a quick clean read that takes place when there is a shortage of women, so, the men in the small Montana town, who desired a wife and family resorted to Mail Order Brides. The main characters, Declan O'Bryan and Margaret McGreggor, start writing each other and soon Margaret agrees to marry him. They have a couple of things in common including both being from Ireland and both being stubborn. Declan under-reacts to things while Margaret over-reacts which leads to an interesting couple. Overall this was an interesting read but there were times when Declan took the advice of his friend, Ned, and it resulted in a couple of misunderstandings between him and Margaret. Declan relied too much on his friend's thoughts / opinions but it was good that he was able to admit to his faults. I also felt that, the story could have been a little longer. Charles D. Baker did well with the narration. Note: "This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review." An Audible Book that is hard to pause Would you consider the audio edition of Mail Order Bride Margaret to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version but the audio edition was entertaining. Who was your favorite character and why? Margaret or "Mags". Her plight in life was so true in the period in which the book took place. She dealt with the problems of life head on and didn't let them overtake her. Which scene was your favorite? The train ride out west when her nerves got the best of her and her friends "remedy". Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I did a lot of smiling while I listened to the book Any additional comments? I enjoyed reading the book. I wish it had been longer and the story about Margaret and her new husband continue at least through their first year of marriage and the difficulties they would encounter in the west. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. Mail Order Bride Margaret Don't you love it when a story warms your heart. A very sweet romance short that takes the couple through trials and tribulation, yet love wins. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys romance books and for any age. Charles D Baker had me laughing with his western style laughter. I love is voice for this book.

Thorne Narrator: Ginger Roll Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-16 Publisher: Cappuccino Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Secretly raised as a boy in her father's caravan and schooled in languages and the fine art of negotiation, Adira rejects the looming changes of womanhood that threaten her nomadic life and independence. With the arrival of two mysterious Northmen, rumored to be holy men, Adira's world unravels. She loses everything she values most, including the "Angel" who has awakened her desires. Caught between her culture and freedom, and tormented by impossible love, she abandons all she has known in a dangerous quest to follow the "Angels". With only her beloved dog, Nami, at her side, Adira must use all the skills she learned from her father to survive the perils of the desert, Sodom, and her own heart. Angels at the Gate is a story of adventure and the power of love, a compelling saga based on historical research about the ancient biblical world of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the woman who "became a pillar of salt". Members Reviews: Beautiful story fabulous story with deep characters and amazing story of humanity. the performance is especially moving An insightful twist that brings the ancient, biblical world alive. While the author could have easily fallen into the typical girl-pretends-to-be-a-boy-to-survive-in-a-man's-world motif, Thorne expertly developes each character to be believable and real within their historical/societal cofines. Even though the main biblical characters have a minimal role in this story, the author uses them to shape, guide, and redirect the protagonist's character and actions. Ginger Roll does an exceptional job narrating the story, especially with transitioning between male and female voices in conversation. Too many times narrators cannot pull off one gender or the other without sounding false or nondescript - making many of the voices the same. Roll makes the voice of each character distinct and easily distinguishable - very helpful for those long conversations where not seeing the text becomes a handicap to understanding who's speaking. Overall, the story was compelling, creating real attachment and identification with the characters. The venue of each scene was so well written that one could taste the dry deserts and smell the sulfur pits. The story only got four, instead of five, stars due to the author's use of creative license in explaining the power source of El's messengers, but this may be just a personal preference due to personal scholarship. However, illusions to the messagers being from very distant ("lost") lands (possibly Celtic) was an intriguing addition. It would have lost only half a star of that was possible. Well done. A recommended read for all.

Ruined by scandal, Claudia Akford survived years of marriage to a cruel brute. Widowed, she is determined to regain her standing in society, but Lord Shillington personifies temptation. Kind and gentle, yet masculine and sinfully handsome, he would make the perfect lover, but he wants more than she is willing to give. He needed her. While Henry Shillington knows a little of the beautiful but notorious Lady Claudia Akford, he is struck by her kindhearted, accomplished, and witty demeanor. The more time he spends in her company, the more he dreams of a future with her. But the lady resists his honorable overtures, and a mistress will never do for him. Can two wary people overcome past hurts, an old scandal, and social strictures to embrace true love? Members Reviews: Wonderful! Claudia was married to an older cruel man. When she went back into the circles of London's society, she threw herself into Julian's arms. She had found that he had already married. Along came Henry and the sparks began to fly! Great listen and story. Scandalous Redemption Amanda Mariel just keeps getting better. This is another great addition to the series. The story is fun, entertaining and flows wonderfully! I love that Lady Grace is meddling again. She is a favorite character for me from this series!! Henry is so proper and noble! And poor Claudia can't catch a break! Great read or listen! A nice, sweet regency romance Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, I would recommend this book to any of my friends who like sweet, historical romance. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? The story is a nice romance but I think I would have liked a bit more drama in the story or for there to be a bit of suspense or intrigue. At just over 4 hours long, the story makes for perfect listening if you want to complete a story in one go. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes, the narration for the story was good and easy to listen to. Any additional comments? I received a copy in exchange for my honest review. A Sweet Historical Romance When Claudia Akford's abusive husband passes away, she revels in her freedom and promises to never marry again. Her new widowhood grants her an independence she never had before. When she meets Henry Shillington, she's instantly attracted to him and offers to become his lover, but never his wife. Henry falls immediately for Claudia, but can't imagine taking her as his mistress. Henry needs to convince Claudia of his love and loyalty, before he loses her forever. This was a sweet mostly clean romance that could be read as a standalone. I liked that Henry was a somewhat shy man who wasn't an experienced rake. Claudia was a confident woman who went after what she wanted. They were a great combo. The narration was well done and immersed me in the story, with separate character voices. I do plan on reading the rest of the series.

Title: Time to Love Subtitle: Mirrors of Time, Book 2 Author: Angela Ford Narrator: Dwight Kuhlman Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 11-09-15 Publisher: Books to Go Now Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: What would you do if you woke up in a strange man's house, only to discover you time traveled to 1737? If you had the option, would you stay or return to the life you knew? Dr. Maggie Collins always believed true love to be a myth. Her only focus in life was to become a veterinarian. Then her best friend, Emma, decides she wants to go to Bolivia before she gets married. A hesitant Maggie won't allow her determined friend to go alone, so she decides to make it one exciting adventure. She didn't expect to lose her friend in the midst of the excitement. When Emma goes missing, Maggie's search finds a tall native man in a dark robe. His words confuse her: the future is behind you, and the past is ahead of you. He hands her a mirror and tells her to listen to her heart. The water below her begins to ripple. She feels weak and dizzy. She wakes in the home of Sir Heth Manning in 1737 England. She can't remember how she got there. In her search to find her friends and a way home, she finds true love. Will it be enough to keep her from the life she knew? Members Reviews: Did not like this. The plot was very intriguing...waking in a strange man's house in the year 1737. Unfortunately, for me the book itself was a let-down. I found the writing to be weak and full of basic structure issues which should have been caught during the editing process. The story arc offers no real conflict or dilemma to overcome, the characters are vaguely drawn, no plot twist is offered to surprise the reader, and the whole story feels truncated. It reads, unfortunately, like a first draft. Unlike the other enthusiastic 5 star reviews of this work, my review is two stars. Sorry. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART When the bride, Emma Miller, decides that she and her bridesmaids need that one last girls trip before the wedding, they go to Bolivia to Salar de Uyuni, and they start on an exciting adventure. Staying at Palacio de Sal and touring what is known as the world's largest mirror and going to Isla de los Pescadores, known as the Island of the Fish. When Emma climbs some rocks to get a better picture and disappears, Maggie goes looking for her. What happens next when Maggie wakes up and she is in 1737 England and found by Sir Heth Manning. What a shock for each of them, clothing, dialect, and so many unanswered questions. Can two strangers, from two completely different eras find a common ground? Maggie has given up on men, being a Veterinarian, she prefers animals, rather than being hurt again by a man. Heth stirs feelings inside her that she has never had before, and the feelings are mutual. Is finding true love worth giving up on what you have always known? But what about her friends? Moving forward Yes, it's a novella but it is very well packed full of intrigue. I enjoyed it very much Sweet easy read. Very intriguing plot. What would you do if you woke up in another time and country? What would you be willing to live without? This novella was a sweet easy read. beautiful and marvelous! Maggie's friends had always teased her that she's better off if she'd fall for an 18th century Englishman with a horse. She's a vet and her attention had always been on her books and the animals she took care of.

Title: Loving Lord Ash Subtitle: Duchess of Love, Book 3 Author: Sally MacKenzie Narrator: Abby Craden Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Kit, the marquis of Ashton, is in a sticky wicket. He married young and for love - how naïve. He discovered his mistake the very day of his wedding, but he is saddled now with a wife he's reluctant to trust. And however much evidence he gathers against faithless Jess, he can't seem to prove her guilt to the final judge - his foolish heart. Jess knows she's bobbled her marriage, however innocently. A fairy-tale wedding makes no difference if she hasn't got the marquis charmed to show for it. Well, she's had enough of accidental encounters with naked gentlemen and near misses and explaining things to her husband. It's time to buck up and go win her man back - even if she has to fight very dirty indeed. Contains mature themes. Critic Reviews: "[They] overcome ludicrous sitcomesque shenanigans involving jealous wannabe lovers and society gossips." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Loving Lord Ash Abby Craden did a wonderful job interpreting each character. Many female narrators voices are , what I call, 'chipmunk' quality. While this can be fine for debutante, a six foot plus hunk of a duke loses his appeal. We've waited to read Ash's story and you won't be disappointed EXCEPT this is not Whispersync so you cannot listen and read at the same time...BOO! Why not Whispersync ALL and save us the hassle. I fall asleep and it is darned inconvenient to have the narration at one point and the last page read elsewhere. Readers, you are going to enjoy this series. It has some fun twists and loveable characters. Duchess of love indeed! It's funny that I just wrote a review earlier stating that that book had been fairly tame... and it seemed surprising considering that the entire story revolved around mature themes, and sex was the main topic... it was still very tame. But very good! I had put off this last Duchess of Love novel for some reason. I'm glad I finally listened... it was well worth it. NARRATOR : Abby Craden did a good job. She's not one of my favorites and her style and this particular novel were well matched since the majority of the story is told as each characters thoughts. Her intonation... which otherwise is grating at times, worked perfectly with the inner musings driving this story. Her slightly whispering rather staid delivery suited. CREDITWORTHY? : I wouldn't rush to use my last credit on it... but yes, I think it is. HEAT FACTOR : As I said... sex in many forms is the main topic here. But it's not steamy at all... So I would say LOW.... but mature.

Lizzie is the sixth and youngest daughter of the late Sir Beverley, the patriarch who gambled away their beloved estate, Mannerling. Each of Lizzie's sisters had been entrusted by their ambitious mother to cast lures for the various owners of their former home. Instead, each one married for love. Now it's Lizzie's turn to save Mannerling. But the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant for Lizzie's heart. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy chit, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing - no woman has ever refused him. Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of mismatches and scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's thoughts away from a suitable marriage - to the wonders of falling in love.

When a naked earl climbs through the window into her bedchamber, Lady Elizabeth Runyon does the proper thing: She screams. Loudly. And then...well, Lizzie has had enough of being proper. She wishes to be bold. Wanton, even. She won't be commanded to put on her nightgown. Just this once, she will be absolutely daring... She Returned The Favor Robert Hamilton, Earl of Westbrooke, has no intention of being tricked into marriage by a detestable female, and if he has to flee naked across a rooftop, he will. Jolly good there's an open window waiting - as well as an undressed, slightly drunk, and alluringly beautiful Lady Elizabeth. Oh dear. If they are caught together, he might have to marry her. The idea is delicious...and the temptation is irresistible... Members Reviews: Good book.. So-so narration.. Any additional comments? The ending did seem rushed but over all it was a good read but not as good as The Naked Duke or The Naked Marquis but I still enjoyed it. I loved Robbie in the other two books and still loved him in his own book, too. I liked Lizzie a lot as well as Aunt Bea and Alton. And as to the reviewer who named the "top 10" (on Amazon) there was not one thing discriptive about Bea and Alton having sex, I'm 65 so I know how ugly that might have been, if it had been too descriptive, nothing I would have gone "eww" over. And the anal sex was mentioned in one thought by Felicity, not done. Just to clear that up. Anyway, I'm off to the next book in the series. As to the narrator: She was really only ok. Sometimes the men sounded manly and sometimes they didn't. She was not consistant at all. I wouldn't throw rocks at her but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to her again either.

(Alison Larkin) Ever since Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy emerged from the lake in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, the novels of Jane Austen have become more popular than ever, delighting millions of fans all over the world. Now, Alison Larkin's critically acclaimed narrations of Austen's six completed novels are brought together in this very special 200th anniversary audio edition. "Alison Larkin's narration will captivate listeners from the first sentence", raves AudioFile magazine about the Earphones Award-winning recording of Sense and Sensibility, which starts the collection. Hailed by The Times as "marvelously light footed...hugely entertaining," Alison Larkin is the perfect vessel to bring the deft, satirical novels of Jane Austen to sparkling new life. Alison Larkin is the best-selling author of The English American, a comedienne and the award-winning narrator of over 150 audiobooks. In addition to Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice with Songs from Regency England, Mansfield Park, Persuasion & Poems, Emma and Northanger Abbey and the History of England by Jane Austen, other classic narrations include Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass; Fairytales of the Fiercer Sex by the Brothers Grimm, et al; Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (with James Warwick); Peter Pan & the Inconsiderate Waiter; and Agatha Christie's The Secret Adversary. Title and end music: "The Lonely Ash Grove", sung by Alison Larkin. Members Reviews: Jane Austen as she was meant to be heard!!! I am THRILLED to find out that someone has thought to release Alison Larkin's wonderful Jane Austen narrations in one recording!! Alison Larkin is my absolute favorite Austen narrator because she makes it all so easy to understand and absolutely gets Austen's humor. Plus her voice is just such a pleasure to listen to! What a treat! Alison Larking's voice is irratating!! The layout of this audio book is confusing. No idea which book is which. The book is not titled on each section. Every book in this audio looks the same. Lost track, patience and interest. CAN'T NAVIGATE AROUND THIS COLLECTION I am sure that if I was able to navigate my way around this collection I would give this a higher rating. I am completely lost and have given up trying to listen. Where does one book end and another start? I try to scroll through the chapters on the side of the screen but they do not match the chapters in the book. No titles to books anywhere that I can see. I will not get an audible book again.

When Alexander Westcott becomes the new Earl of Riverdale, he inherits a title he never wanted and a failing country estate he can't afford. But he fully intends to do everything in his power to undo years of neglect and give the people who depend on him a better life.... A recluse for more than 20 years, Wren Heyden wants one thing out of life: marriage. With her vast fortune, she sets her sights on buying a husband. But when she makes the desperate and oh-so-dashing earl a startlingly unexpected proposal, Alex will agree only to a proper courtship, hoping for at least friendship and respect to develop between them. He is totally unprepared for the desire that overwhelms him when Wren finally lifts the veils that hide the secrets of her past.... Members Reviews: Nice change of pace This book is not overly sexual. Yes, you can actually focus on the developing the relationship between the main characters. The narration was good. It was worth the credit. Someone to Wed Another wonderful story by Mary Balogh. I love the characters and the struggle they have to over come to find love and acceptance. A favorite for sure! I have binge listened to all of Mary Baloghs books.. she tells a perfect story and her series all draw you deep into the families involved... so much so that I am always feeling like Im missing news of good friends when I am done. Rosalyn Landor is my favorite narrator for MB books and a favorite narrator overall. Her voice is warm and breathes life into every story she tells! Loved it! Her best one yet! She is a superb writer! She gives characters you sigh over and cheer for! Late bloomer I love Mary Balogh. I think Ive read or listened to most of her books. Some of her books grab you from page one. Some take some time. This book, although excellent, is one of the latter. The start was a bit drawn out. To the point that I almost gave up. The best part of this book are the last eight or nine chapters. Im glad I plowed through because there is payoff. Rosalyn Landor is superb!

A Duke in Shining Armor Audiobook by Loretta Chase

Most are upstanding members of society. And then there's the trio known as Their Dis-Graces. Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue. But even he draws the line at running off with his best friend's bride. All he's trying to do is recapture the slightly inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended bridegroom. For reasons that elude her, bookish, bespectacled Olympia is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The ton is flabbergasted. Her family's ecstatic. And Olympia? She's climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail, determined to bring her back to his friend. For once, the world-famous hellion is trying to do the honorable thing. So why does Olympia have to make it so deliciously difficult for him? Members Reviews: Wonderfully humorous and entertaining! Loretta Chase has done it again! The story is an entertaining and witty with situations that had the main characters responding to circumstances that left me laughing out loud. The heroine/hero are characters that you want to know personally as they both are intelligent and extremely humorous. It is one of those books you just cant put down! Can't wait for the next in the series Loretta does it again. I love the way she writes, her dialogues are hilarious. Lord Perfect is still my favorite with Last Nights Scandal coming in next or is Lord of Scoundrels second. If you haven't listened to her books give them a try. I love a good laugh with my romance. A New Favorite I love Loretta Chase, and this may be my new favorite of her books. Though, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be. This kind of story with a love triangle is usually not my thing. I usually appreciate the fact that there is an underlying danger or other story present in her books as well. But I was really captivated by Olympia, being a girl who loves to read and it always pragmatic, I loved seeing her journey. It made my heart ache to see her torn between duty to her family, and a desire to truly finally be herself. I really loved the moments of laughter and joy shared by the two protaganists and caught myself laughing along with them many times. I can't wait for the rest of these Difficult Duke books, and I know I will be listening to this one again. Each book better than the last! 5+ stars! Another wonderful book by Loretta Chase.. Both of the main characters are likable with their strengths and weaknesses and great senses of humor. A wonderful, fun read where you can escape from life and just relax for awhile. Another gem from Loretta Chase and Kate Reading Once again, Chase knocks it out of the park. Reading's incredible performance elevates this delightful tale to the platinum standard, as usual. I've said it before....Chase and Reading together have a special alchemy that borders on the magical. Together they create a listening experience that defies gravity. Chase's words and Reading's voice equal perfection in my opinion. Rock on, Ladies! This is yet another smart, funny, sexy-as-hell romance from Chase, at least as good as everything else she's ever written, if not better. There's a very smart woman, a duke who is more than a bit reckless, a large dog, a duel, an aunt with a sharp tongue and a sharper eye, and laughs galore.

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury's to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne'er-do-wells by night. Now there's a new item on the list. He needs an heir - which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she'll do. His terms are simple: But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own: Members Reviews: 100% perfect I love romance novels by Georgette Heyer, Lisa Kleypas, Laura Kinsdale, Julia Quinn, and many more but This!Was! Wonderful! The perfect combination of humor (I actually laughed out loud), charm, intelligence, feminism, machismo, psychological insight, plot, children, cats, and OMG the sex! It was hot, inventive, not too much, not too little...All was made even more enjoyable by the stunningly adept, perfectly nuanced, absolutely spot-on interpretation, and always compelling performance by Mary Jane Wells, who is now my favorite narrator (and I've listened to a gazillion audio books, trust me). Other than the aforementioned Georgette Heyer's Regency romance novels, which are in a league of their own (and have no sex scenes, by the way, but you don't really miss it), I have never before loved a romance novel so much that I wanted to re-read it immediately, but this is so much fun I can't wait to read it again! A Comedic Romance That You Can Take Seriously If you could sum up The Duchess Deal in three words, what would they be? Marriage. Of. Convenience. What other book might you compare The Duchess Deal to and why? This book is similar in concept to Lisa Kleypas's "Devil in Winter." In both books, two people get married to further their separate goals, but wind up falling in love. Which character as performed by Mary Jane Wells was your favorite? I adored Mary Jane Wells's portrayal of Ashbury, the hero. She makes him sound pompous, almost stuffy, which is not the typical voice for a love interest. But Wells makes it work, turning Ashbury into a hilarious, distinct, and lovable character. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same. Any additional comments? Mary Jane Wells knocked it out of the park with this performance. Tessa Dare exceeded expectations. This book should be a part of any Historical Romance library. Funny - would make a really good movie. I'm on my third time listening to this story. I've found it funny and lighthearted. And with Mary Jane Wells narration I have pictured the story as a movie. She has added just the perfect intonation to the Duke's voice and I can visualize the seamtress's eyes rolling. Very entertaining! Great listen!! The narrator truly made the story come to life and the characters personalities an enjoyable listen. Amazing Story. Great Narration I loved this story! it was so good! I just loved Ash and Emma! They were perfect for each other. They had lots of chemistry and lots of hot and steamy sex. Well written sex. The story line and plot was great. It all flowed so nicely and the wow was there some funny LOL moments. Even though the Duke was scarred he was funny witty and a great personality.

Maeve Fanning is a first-generation Irish immigrant born and raised among the poor, industrious Italian families of Boston's North End by her widowed mother. Clever, capable, and as headstrong as her red hair suggests, she's determined to better herself despite the overwhelming hardships of the Great Depression. However, Maeve also has a dangerous fondness for strange men and bootleg gin - a rebellious appetite that soon finds her spiraling downward, leading a double life. When the strain proves too much, Maeve becomes an unwilling patient in a psychiatric hospital, where she strikes up a friendship with an enigmatic young woman who, like Maeve, is unable or unwilling to control her unladylike desire for freedom. Once out, Maeve faces starting over. Armed with a bottle of bleach and a few white lies, she lands a job at an eccentric antiques shop catering to Boston's wealthiest and most peculiar collectors. Run by an elusive English archeologist, the shop is a haven of the obscure and incredible, providing rare artifacts as well as unique access to the world of America's social elite. While delivering a purchase to the wealthy Van der Laar family, Maeve is introduced to beautiful socialite Diana Van der Laar - only to discover she's the young woman from the hospital. Reunited with the charming but increasingly unstable Diana and pursued by Diana's attractive brother, James, Maeve becomes more and more entwined with the Van der Laar family - a connection that pulls her into a world of moral ambiguity, deceit, and, ultimately, betrayal. Bewitched by their wealth and desperate to leave her past behind, Maeve is forced to unearth her true values and discover how far she'll go to reinvent herself. Members Reviews: I loved this book!! The narrator was excellent and the story was interesting. I love when I find a book I can't stop listening to and this was one of them. Definitely worth it!! Well told story A bit lengthy but quite an interesting story with excellent character development. Descriptive, thoughtful writing Disappointed Would you try another book from Kathleen Tessaro and/or Susan Bennett? Yes I would try another book . The story moved slow and the character develoment I felt was labored. Other listener's ratings are quite high. My comment "disappointed " was determined from characters behavioral traits that changed too quickly towards the final couple chapters When individuals have addictions and morality issues erasing them comes after intense work. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? When people are suffering from psychological issues; and the there are a few of these characters here in this story, It takes time to change ones life. I did not get the feeling that the necessary time was built into the story. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I'm fond of joyful endings and this book does give one the feeling that joy can be obtained if challenges and troubles are addressed and not avoided. SO good! This was wonderfully read and written. Lovely from beginning to end.

Frieda quickly discovers that a mechanic's wages won't support Bea and Silver, so she joins a team of rumrunners, speeding into dangerous waters to transport illegal liquor. Frieda becomes swept up in the lucrative, risky work - and swept off her feet by a handsome Ivy Leaguer who's in it just for fun. As danger mounts and her own feelings threaten to drown her, can Frieda find her way back to solid ground - and to a love that will sustain her? Members Reviews: Looking For What Just Might Be All Around You The daughter of the town's prostitute, Frieda is haunted and determined. This is a fine story of one young woman who can never have enough; it's never safe, she always needs to make more. After all, her little sister is a smart, loving girl/young woman who has needs but can be flighty, and their beloved "caretaker", Silver--perhaps the only man in town who never made use of their mother--is crippled and ailing from a stroke, needing care, dying a little more each day. Enter rum running, where Frieda's skills make her one of the most dependable and durable of mechanics. Here she finds solidarity, excitement and most of all, money. And soon, a love that turns her into someone she doesn't recognize. "The Whiskey Sea" is a well-written story, redolent with the fragrances of the past, the mechanics and societal norms of Prohibition and poverty (if you don't get in on the action). It's a story about love, security, and finding forgiveness in your heart for all of that which haunts you. It's about letting go and letting love in. Angela Dawe narrates very well, never making her male characters caricatures, and suffusing the text with energy and excitement. It's a short story, only 8+ hours, but it's sweet without being precious, and touching without being a ploy-filled tearjerker. I really enjoyed this story about the sea and history, about sisters and friends, about finding the love and steadiness that surrounds us all. Just Another Romance Novel Adequate writing. Great Setting. Interesting characters. I just wish the author would have done more with the plot. Unrequited love just isn't enough to fully captivate me. Too Bittersweet Good historical fiction, great explanation of town and heroine's struggles with circumstances. Beautiful imagery. Annoying choices made by characters with obvious results, bittersweet ending in wrapping up all story lines that reader sees coming, and leaves you unhappy. Whiskey sea Loved story and narration was awesome. Well worth reading for sure. I think it is worth bring a movie. I saw it. As a word picture. Great read and wonderful narration! Really liked this book - descriptions of the coast, the water, the people. . . could almost smell the fragrance of the air currents! Well developed story; annoyed all the characters, too.

Lady Fortescue Steps Out Audiobook by M. C. Beaton

Beaton Narrator: Davina Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2114 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Life is not easy for the poor relations of Englands upper crust, but fate and clever schemes bring them together. Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst hatch a plan: What if they were to transform her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering their guests the pleasure of being waited upon by nobility? With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats, they do just that, and Londons newest hotel, The Poor Relation, is born. The establishment is an immediate hit with Londons most illustrious citizens, save the Duke of Rowcester, Lady Fortescues nephew. Rowcester believes that his aunts entry into the trade will denigrate their family name and is determined to shut the hotel down - until he meets Miss Harriett James, the lovely young woman who accepts Lady Fortescues offer to become The Poor Relations chef after the death of her parents and the loss of her fortune. Rowcester moves into The Poor Relation for the season - ostensibly to keep an eye on his aunts business. Members Reviews: Charming Regency Fun - Romance & Adventure Set in Regency London it has the trials and tribulations of a group of high and upper class impoverished aristocrats who band together to open a hotel. Some of the characters are oddly appealing, some (Sir Philip) is oddly appalling. There is a romance, but a great deal of time is spent on the other characters, such as the marvellous septuagenarian Lady Fortescue. On the surface frothy fun, but serious issues often simmer to the top, such as the fate of unmarried impoverished women, or the scenes at Newgate. This is a Marion Chesney Story (I had to google to see who this MC Beaton was). Good clean fun. If you like Georgette Heyer you will enjoy this book which again shows close attention to historical detail (without it intruding in the flow of the novel) sweet but overpriced trifle The first four volumes of this light and humorous series were perfect for some fatigued time listening, but Beaton/Chesney could have knitted together one excellent novel from the first three instalments ??? one that could have equalled a Heyer classic. I do like intelligent braincandy, but I prefer my fluff thicker! This series is similar in style to the author's Lady Rose mysteries, even though Poor Relation is more Heyerite romance; the series may not appeal to fans of Beaton's Hamish McBeth or Agatha Raisin mysteries. I thought Poor Relation much richer than the Daughters of Mannerling series, which they also resemble with a continuing storyline. I think the best in series (of the first four now on Audible) is v 1; you can listen to any independent of the others, however, should you catch a sale because there is enough backstory in each to get the history of the hotel and its proprietors. Porter is as usual excellent, and do I detect an extra bit of love in her voice for this series and Lady Rose's exploits? Not Five Stars, but Fun If you're looking for a sanitized, glittering romance with billows of lace and languishing glances, this is probably not your cup of oolong. Written under the pseudonym Marian Chesney, this is M.C. Beaton's first Regency novel. But a Regency novel with a distinct difference! Yes, there is the deserving but impoverished young lady and the rich, supercilious lord to carry the love interest, but Georgette Heyer this is not.

One woman. A reverse harem fantasy that will leave you breathless and begging for more.... Dareena Sellis is a nobody. The orphaned daughter of a no-name farmer, she toils away as a serving girl at Hallowdale Inn, her only marriage prospects either shipping off to war, or pawing at her skirts with their grubby, gnarled hands. But fate takes a strange turn the day a dragon huntress comes to town. Suddenly, Dareena is swept off to Dragon's Keep, trading in her raggedy dresses for silken gowns, her closet-sized room for feather pillows and spacious gardens, and her miserable suitor for three very handsome, very virile dragon princes. For Dareena is not a nobody. She is the Dragon's Gift - the one woman chosen by the gods every century to bear children for the future king of Dragonfell. Despite her pre-ordained path, Dareena's fate is far from certain. The crown has not given birth to more than one son in nearly 1,000 years, and the line of succession is far from clear. Neither of the princes are willing to cede Dareena to the other, and yet she must choose. For the enemy is knocking on Dragonfell's door, and Dareena's decision could either mean the kingdom's salvation.... ...or annihilation. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a true reverse harem romance, NOT a love triangle. Expect to see danger, intrigue, hot sex, strong language, and fire-breathing dragons in this book. For 18+ listeners. You have been warned! Members Reviews: Awesome dual POV w/ realistic radio program feel!! There is a heads up to this book, it ends in a cliff hanger but the second book is on kindle and the third one is due end of December 2017. This just came to Audible so I'm sure the others will follow. I have to say that my favorite thing about this is that it is not only told in multiple POV but the voice actors to back and forth like a real conversation. You never have a female trying to do a male's voice and vice versa. Don't get me wrong it isn't something I hate, but because it is done this way it's much more like your listening to an old time radio program from back in 1940's. Can't say enough about how awesome the voice actors are, I plan to look for more from them!!! This story is well rounded, the world building is very easy to imagine. Plenty of sexy scenes that don't turn the story into a strait porn story. All of the hot scenes are one on one with the h dividing her time between the triplets, I have to say that I like that better than one woman having to take care of everyone at the same time and the author trying to tell me that "it's all about her"!! That's a lot of work for one woman!! I much more enjoyed this game on what is now so popular "reverse harem" I used a credit on this and don't regret it one bit, but would have liked it this hard been available at a discounted price since I already have this book on Kindle. not my kind of book good story line but jumped right into sex. yup too much sex not what I was looking for. it is well read and written well if you want just sex and brarely story. pretty good... The narrator was did an amazing job. Where is the second book? I cannot find it? This Book Got The Concept of Two Narrators Right I really liked this book. The story and reverse harem concept was expertly Done.

He doesn't expect the sharp-tongued beauty to run away on their wedding night. Still, Alexander wants his runaway bride...and he has the sneaking suspicion that she wants him, too. Kenna Mackay thinks she is safe in a priory full of nuns learning the craft of healing, but when she is kidnapped by her own husband, the battle of wits begins anew. But even as passions ignite, a deadly secret from Kenna's past rises to the surface and puts their new love in jeopardy. As a heartless villain closes in, two headstrong lovers find themselves locked in a struggle between evil and the power of undying love. And this time Alexander is determined he will not lose his wife again. Members Reviews: Loved it! I cannot wait for the next two Audible installments to complete the series. I loved the banter between the two characters. The intimate scenes were steamy and the love they shared was perfectly developed throughout the story. VERY ENJOYABLE AUDIO BOOK This book was exciting all the way threw. I look forward to the next book on audible. Kenna and Alexander made the perfect couple. They wasn't this lovey dubbing couple at first, they fought like wild cats. But alway there for each and when the enemy was close the new how to work together. It really was a fantastic book. I look forward to the next one. Good Story! I've never read any of May McGoldricks books prior to this one, and I found it to be very entertaining. The only parts that took me slightly aback were the gore, but once I got used to her writing style I really enjoyed the story, plot, and characters. The suspense goes right up until the end, and that's the part where I buy the next book because I want to find out what happened next ;) Great Novel I loved this book. The female characters are strong very with great story line. Also great narrator. great romp. loved the characters and the story. great read for a stormy, rainy day. looking forward to more.

A Voice in the Wind Audiobook by Francine Rivers

bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Francine Rivers) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 09:29:20 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/618/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Voice in the Wind Subtitle: The Mark of the Lion, Book 1 Author: Francine Rivers Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2994 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Francine Rivers, a winner of the ECPA Gold Medallion, is a best-selling author of Christian fiction. A Voice in the Wind takes listeners into a richly imagined ancient Rome in the midst of its great decline. This heart-stirring tale of a young slave girl, torn between her love for a handsome aristocrat and her faith in God, transcends genres with its awe-inspiring power and emotional intensity. Critic Reviews: "It is Ms. Rivers' faith in man and God that lifts these novels onto another plane and brings readers hope in time of darkness." (Romantic Times) Members Reviews: Wonderful book... This book depicts the Roman era and it showed how depraved the people were without Christ in their lives. There is hope and Haddassah's character shows how we should serve one another with a servant's heart. This book does not hide the violence at all. Francine Rivers is so detailed in her writing, that I could smell the foul air, where the slaves were held in the ships. I could feel their desperation. I could feel the eternal hope in Haddassah. It was a long book, but I didn't want it to end. Be sure to read all three books in the series. I believe my husband would enjoy this book too, it isn't all about romance. I only gave it 4 stars, because I would have liked another narrator, possibly two narrators. One for the males and one for Haddassah. He wasn't terrible though and it didn't keep me from listening. An truly blessed author Nevermind that the story itself was unbelievably rich and entertaining and satisfying. Nevermind that the narrator has the deep voice that IS like a "voice in the wind". Ms. Rivers is certainly touched with the grace and love that she writes for her characters. In one work of fiction, she compellingly conveys the grace and love of the God she writes about. Phenomenal story!! Great story!! I would highly recommend this to anybody who likes a love story, a action story, suspense and inspiration. Three stories that intertwine and come together at the end. The narrarator was very good, also. Christian Fiction That Doesn't Back Down Although I've been a Christian for most of my life, I'm almost always disappointed by Christian fiction due to it's lack of honesty. Rarely does a book shine the light of Jesus so clearly, while not denying the truth of what living in the world is really like. This story is full of wonderful characters dealing with the real issues of life in ancient Rome. We are shown the open debauchery, decadence, and brutal violence of the time very vividly by Francine Rivers, who gives us a "meaty" story that will satisfy both Christians and non-Christians alike. The narration is weak, and if you're picky about that in an audio book, I suggest you listen to the sample for a long time before you decide to buy this book. The cast of characters is very large, and the narrator does not use much variety with his voices or accents, especially with the females. All his women have a weak, whiny quality to their voices. It took me a couple of chapters to stop being distracted by him, but eventually, the strength of the story itself was enough for me to really begin to enjoy the book. Outstanding I had been given a book by Francine Rivers Years ago (I can't remember which one) and I began reading it, but became distracted and put it down.

A Desperate Fortune Audiobook by Susanna Kearsley

Title: A Desperate Fortune Author: Susanna Kearsley Narrator: Katherine Kellgren Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1477 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Beloved New York Times best-selling author Susanna Kearsley delivers a riveting novel that deftly intertwines the tales of two women, divided by centuries and forever changed by a clash of love and fate. For nearly 300 years, the cryptic journal of Mary Dundas has kept its secrets. Now, amateur codebreaker Sara Thomas travels to Paris to crack the cipher. Jacobite exile Mary Dundas is filled with longing - for freedom, for adventure, for the family she lost. When fate opens the door, Mary dares to set her foot on a path far more surprising and dangerous than she ever could have dreamed. As Mary's gripping tale of rebellion and betrayal is revealed to her, Sara faces events in her own life that require letting go of everything she thought she knew - about herself, about loyalty, and especially about love. Though divided by centuries, these two women are united in a quest to discover the limits of trust and the unlikely coincidences of fate. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, April 2015 - I would never describe myself as a Romance listener, so I was a little hesitant to begin Susanna Kearsley's new book. However, after reading the summary, I was intrigued - mystery, history, and adventure? What more could I want? A Desperate Fortune shifts between the past and the present and Kearsley's expert writing allows for a seamless transition between storylines. You can't help but adore the modern-day protagonist, Sara Thomas, a socially awkward code breaker who is hired to decrypt the 18th century journal of Jacobite exile, Mary Dundas. Each woman's story unfolds amidst vivid imagery and the brilliant narration of Katherine Kellgren helps bring the characters to life. After zipping through this book, one thing is for certain Susanna Kearsley has a new fan. Laura, Audible Editor Members Reviews: Suggestion to listen with volume low & treble off Any additional comments? As kindly as possible, I would like to suggest the listener to turn the low and the treble off. The reason being Katherine, the narrator, in all respect for her art and hard work, reflects the chance she may have a full time tour guide position when not recording audiobooks. It would be such a benefit to narrate in her normal voice for the main character and use very gentle accents for those characters not British. Perhaps she is trying to depict the main character as a high-strung person who also happens to have a touch of Asperger's Syndrome, as described in the book. Respectfully, the constant tension and effort in speaking, as if accustomed to speaking in a higher-than-normal pitch to be heard over a noisy crowd, makes listening to her a great annoyance and I will refrain from purchasing another book with her narration. It pains me to speak so, but it truly bothers me enough to have to write this in a review in an effort to help further decision-making. My apologies for any offense, which will probably occur; my advise is well-meant. Maybe better as a read, than a listen I'm on a Scottish tangent right now... I read "Outlander" which was written beautifully and I enjoyed the history... but it was way too heavy on the romance for me. Then came "Winter Sea" by Kearsley, it was perfect and I loved the history in it.

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it. Rogue - Reign of Ravishment! Kingscote - "King" - the marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he's more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring. War? Or More? He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on Earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive.... Members Reviews: Bantering Rogue I've read and enjoyed some of Sarah MacLean's books previously so when this book came up on sale I had to listen. Although this one is not my favorite it still was entertaining and fun. I enjoyed the fast pace of this book, the adventure, and the bantering of the characters. I wasn't a fan of some unnecessary cruel dialog from the "hero" which only made him seem more like an immature bully. But, thankfully he worked out some issues and grew up a bit. Note: This book does have strong language and explicit sex. Loved the narration of Justine Eyre. I've listened to other books she's narrated and I've never been disappointed. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to narrators so please listen to the audio sample before you purchase any book. Overall, I liked this book and will be getting the next in this series. Liked it Any additional comments? Pretty good story - good characters. Sophie and King suddenly meet and go for a wild ride for days. Sparks fly, tempers flare and romance ensues. Sophie's sisters are notorious in London. They were made ladies when their coal miner father "won" the title of Earle. Their behavior is not acceptable to the ton and they are ridiculed. Sophie is the youngest and least noticed of the sisters, but they are all called "soiled" and "dangerous". Sophie, who hates the aristocracy, snaps when her married eldest sister is embarrassed by her Duke husband at a summer party. Sophie takes drastic action against him resulting in her family being shunned by society. As she flees the party, Sophie runs into "King" who is in line for the title of Duke. It is a very bad meeting and gets worse - but fun to listen to. The performance is very good and I recommend this book for a fun listen. It is not great literature, but it is pleasant and entertaining. Kept my interest from the beginning to the end. Freaking FAAAAANTASTIC What an amazing book! I love how the story moved from one location to another and the creativity of the heroine in her garments during that time. She was brave and intelligent and interesting and a little spoiled and naive all at the same time.

From the New York Times best-selling writing duo Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly, comes the story of a young womans search for true love. Caroline Maxwell would like nothing more than to join her brother, Eddie, and his friend Jack Culhane on their adventures. While Jack and Eddie are off seeing the world, buying up businesses and building wildly successful careers, Caroline's stuck at home frightening off the men her mother hopes will ask for her hand in marriage. When her mother sets her sights on the questionable Lord Bremerton as a possible suitor, Caroline struggles with her instincts and the true nature of her heart. She longs for adventure, passion, love, and most of all...Jack Culhane, an unconventional Irish-American bachelor with new money and no title. A completely unacceptable suitor in the eyes of Caroline's mother. But Caroline's dark hair, brilliant eyes and quick wit have Jack understanding just why it is people fall in love and get married. Set in New York City in 1894, The Husband List is an American gilded-age romantic mystery. It evokes memories of the lavish lifestyles and social expectations of the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers - a time when new money from the Americas married Old World social prestige and privilege. Dresses by Worth, transcontinental ocean voyages, lavish parties, a little intrigue, and a lot of romance await in The Husband List. Members Reviews: So disappointed I am speechless. I have always enjoyed Janet's books, even the somewhat bizarre "Wicked" series. But this one seems to be so contrived. The plot is unoriginal, the narration is poor, Lorelei King even makes a mistake, says "what--oh" and then reads it right. I have never heard that in an audio book before. I just didn't like anything about this book. But in order to be fair, I listened to the whole thing. It took me two tries to get it done. Such a good book to take me away from reality. Would you consider the audio edition of The Husband List to be better than the print version? I love Lorelei King. She has a way that brings the characters to life for me. I cant imagine reading any other way. Thank you Lorelei!!! Have you listened to any of Lorelei Kings other performances before? How does this one compare? All of hers. Very steady. Another Book for Evanovich's List Any Janet Evanovich fan will read this. While Evanovich's romances are rarely as excellent as Stephanie's adventures, we fans will read it and enjoy it. I must admit I was surprised that it was a historical romance. The narrator was super as usual. Fast paced fun read If you could sum up The Husband List in three words, what would they be? Fast, fun, sweet What was one of the most memorable moments of The Husband List? The history of each connection. What about Lorelei Kings performance did you like? Her male voices were not distracting like some Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Lots of lol Any additional comments? Good book, multiple story lines, couldn't wait to listen Delightful characters. Historical romance What did you love best about The Husband List? Loved the departure from the authors typical contemporary writing.

Members Reviews: Cute all around Enjoyable storyline, interesting characters and good narration. It was also quite entertaining. Love the fact that the love grew without involving sex. Fun in parts groan worthy in others I think almost every romantic cliche was in this book but the vocal talent is great and I laughed out loud in several places. If you're new to this author, this is a great book to start with as the rest of her books are a cut above this one. If this is a favorite author of yours, you'll still enjoy the book but it probably won't make the dog-eared shelf. AWESOME AS EXPECTED!! I love Julia Quinn. The story was funny and very entertaining. Great Voice-over performance! I highly recommend this book. How to enjoy 11 hours... Listen to this book! It is everything that you should expect it to be from this pair of talented ladies. Annoying H and H I usually enjoy a good historical romance but this is not one for me! Heroin is too annoying and stupid for words, Hero not as bad but much better books out there so dont waste money or credit. I had to stop listening to this book as just got on my nerves!

Title: Cold-Hearted Rake Author: Lisa Kleypas Narrator: Mary Jane Wells Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-27-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1043 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Lisa Kleypas is back with a stunning new historical romance! Listeners have long waited for the return of New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas to historical romance - and now she's back with her most breathtaking yet. A twist of fate... Devon Ravenel, London's most wickedly charming rake, has just inherited an earldom. But his powerful new rank in society comes with unwanted responsibilities...and more than a few surprises. His estate is saddled with debt, and the late earl's three innocent sisters are still occupying the house - along with Kathleen, Lady Trenear, a beautiful young widow whose sharp wit and determination are a match for Devon's own. A clash of wills... Kathleen knows better than to trust a ruthless scoundrel like Devon. But the fiery attraction between them is impossible to deny - and from the first moment Devon holds her in his arms, he vows to do whatever it takes to possess her. As Kathleen finds herself yielding to his skillfully erotic seduction, only one question remains: Can she keep from surrendering her heart to the most dangerous man she's ever known? Members Reviews: Glorious! I sidled up to this one with a bit of caution -- initial reviews were not glowing. Imagine my delight to discover not only is this a great book (Kleypas, duh) -- but it's a new kind of Kleypas novel. In fact, it felt more like a Jennifer Ashley "Mackenzie" novel, without the Scots twist, but with a seriously sexy hero, and a challenging love story. I love reading reviews on here, and reviewers have saved me from some stinkers, but the initial reviews on this book -- in hindsight -- are perplexing. I'd say if you like either of those authors, give it a try. Mary Jane Wells was wonderful here, as well. Her voice for Devon was a steamy revelation! Highly Recommended -- by me! Worth the point! This was a sweet story. Devin is a jerk with a loser brother, Weston. Devin inherits the Ravenell estate even though he and his loser brother dont want it. The estate, however, saves the loser brother and gives him purpose as well as making Devin see a softer side of life. Kathleen and her three sisters in law are anticipating being abandoned, however the werent, and got much more than they thought. I always enjoy a book where the main couple is working towards a relationship without a bunch of chaos getting them there... this was one of those. There were obviously obstacles, but nothing thst made you feel pain. I also really like how in this one book, we can so clearly see all the potential upcoming stories. I hope we'll see Westons story as well as the girls' stories. I am actually going right into the next book "Marrying Winterbourne" which is something I very very rarely do. It always takes a bit to get used to the narrator, no matter if theyre new or familiar. MJW was new to me and her reading style even newer. She is the first narrator that I can recall actually 'acted' as well. She would sigh when the character sighed, or whine, or cry or be angry... It took a little over halfway for me not to cringe. She obviously put in a lot of effort, and once I got used to it, I quite liked it. She did a great job on the various voices and keeping track to not mix them up.

But when the innkeeper dies suddenly, his genteel wife, Jane Bell, becomes the reluctant owner. Jane has no notion of how to run a business. However, with the town's livelihood at stake and a large loan due, she must find a way to bring new life to the inn. Despite their strained relationship, Jane turns to her resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for help. Formerly mistress of The Bell, Thora is struggling to find her place in the world. As she and Jane work together, they form a measure of trust, and Thora's wounded heart begins to heal. When she encounters two men from her past, she sees them - and her future - in a different light. With pressure mounting from the bank, Jane employs innovative methods to turn the inn around, and puzzles over the intentions of several men who seem to have a vested interest in the place. Will her efforts be enough to save The Bell? And will Thora embrace the possibility of a second chance at love? Members Reviews: A gem! I can hardly wait for book 2! This was very well read and written. I loved the characters and that the breadth of the story demands follow up. I have questions about what really happened in the past? What will become of our favorite characters? Will the criminal be brought to justice? This is not a book of simpering females who all get their man. Real life regret and pain amidst acceptance and triumph. If you are looking for a good read, this book is for you! Most enjoyable Book!! If you could sum up The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill in three words, what would they be? A book with substance What about Elizabeth Jasickis performance did you like? I loved her voicing for the different characters. She stayed "in character" for each person or character. Her cadence is great and she is very pleasant to listen to. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was too long to listen to in one setting, but I always anticipated the next time of listening. With this book, I learned about Audible's sleep timer. Any additional comments? The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill: Tales From Ivy Hill, Book 1, is a book of substance. The characters have depth, are well developed, do not simper, and it really is hard to know what will happen next. I feel like I know these people. Julie Klassen is not afraid to weave true faith in God and prayer through the story. I love an unpredictable plot that is not 'cut and dried' and the conclusion cannot be deducted early... Julie is a wordsmith and crafts a story in a most delightful way. Another good book from Julie Klassen Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, if they enjoy period pieces. The characters are well rounded and the story is intriguing. It was a bit of a mystery and a lot about the friendship between women. All in all, it was well written. What other book might you compare The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill to and why? Other books by Ms. Klassen have been equally as good as they capture your imagination and you get lost in the telling of the story. Her writing paints a picture that you can envision, making the story come to life. What does Elizabeth Jasicki bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Ms. Jasicki is an excellent reader and her transition between voices is excellent.

Title: Ransom Subtitle: Highlands' Lairds, Book 2 Author: Julie Garwood Narrator: Susan Duerden Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-20-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1991 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Overflowing with all of the majesty and intrigue of medieval glory days, this magnificent New York Times best seller is a captivating story of passion and loyalty, justice and honor. Beloved storyteller Julie Garwood steps back to the silver-shrouded Highlands of her classic tale The Secret - and hails the return of two unforgettable warriors: Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, lives and lands would fall into upheaval at the hands of a power-hungry British ruler and his violent minions. One victim of the scourge is innocent Gillian, who is a mere child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford, determined to recover a jeweled box for the despotic King John, is furious when the precious treasure slips through his fingers - only to be lost for more than a decade. Now a beautiful young woman, Gillian finds the key to resolving her past in handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen, and with the friendship of a new ally, Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last fights the unscrupulous Baron Alford, laying claim to her home, her family, and her father's reputation. But in the presence of the mighty warriors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest...betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat...and the greatest risk of all is surrender - to the deep emotions of unexpected love. Members Reviews: Love the Highlands' Lairds This book was romantic, funny, adventurous, and unpredictable. It was a joy to listen to. I liked the first book "The Secret" but thought this second book was even better. Gillian and Brodrick are definitely two opposites that attract. They are two strong willed people that have some very funny conversations. I absolutely loved one of the conversations after the marriage. I don't want to give anything away but after they marry and she gets mad and says "I was married on a horse" I couldn't breathe - I was laughing too hard! The narrator did an excellent job. As with the first book there are some people who didn't like the narration but I thought it was great. She did each character with a different voice and that's not easy. Some people complained she whispered a lot. As far as I heard she only whispered when the book said "he/she whispered" I'm glad I listened to this one.....I loved it!! The ultimate page turner Any additional comments? Skillfully paced, multifaceted characters, gripping adventure, breathtaking setting, and stunning romance. Susan Duerden does a fantastic job narrating. As a British woman, she seems to have an innate knack for imitating the Scottish brogue. I continually noticed Garwoods skill in pacing. Never was there a dull moment. When one exciting thing ended, another was starting. After the 2.5 hour mark, I was having trouble pausing the audiobook - I was totally hooked. The descriptive writing made me feel like I was dropped into medieval Scotland, and the day after I finished the audiobook, I found myself wishing I could go back. The characters were another strong point for me. The two leads, Ive decided, are one of my favorite romance couples of all time. Gillian was a brave young woman with strong convictions.

But when she learns of a blind-and-deaf brother, institutionalized since birth, the illusion of her perfect life and family shatters around her. While visiting her brother in secret, Julianne meets and befriends Kyle McCarthy, an Irish Catholic groundskeeper studying to become a priest. Caught between her family's expectations, Kyle's devotion to the Church, and the intense new feelings that the forbidden courtship has awakened in her, Julianne must make a choice: uphold the life she's always known or follow the difficult path toward love. But as war ripples through the world and the Blitz decimates England, a tragic accident forces Julianne to leave everything behind and forge a new life built on lies she's told to protect the ones she loves. Now, after 20 years of hiding from her past, the truth finds her - will she be brave enough to face it? Members Reviews: Exceptional! I didn't want to put this book down. One I will fondly remember and reread! Amazing emotional love story I experiences so many emotions listening to Thu book. I woke up feeling emotionally wrecked. incredible! Fiona Hardingham is becoming my favorite narrator. Loved this Story! I loved this story. It has everything g a good love story needs. Fate, ambition, persistence and undeniable love! Kyle is every woman's dream minus the priesthood! I liked that it ended with her at the confessional and reuniting. Great job on the accents and characters...I saw them in my minds eye! Joy, Sorrow and Love- A must read! I feel compelled to leave a review. There are only a handful of books that have truly scorched my soul and this is one of them. Absolutely beautifully written so that the reader can smell, see, and feel what the characters are experiencing. A time before mine and a religion that Ive never experienced and yet I was there. Flawed and yet courageous characters, a love story, a bittersweet plot. So much like life that it hurts and heals and deeply resonates. Thank you Author for this story. And thank you Narrator for switching seemlessly between accents and for feeling each word. My Musings At least one time a year, I will read a book that touches me to my very soul. The Memory of Us did that. Early on in the book, I almost quit reading because I found Judith a bit frivolous, but the plot continued to keep me engaged. I'm so thankful I kept reading/listening! The love story between the hero and heroine is emotionally-charged while incredibly sad. Poor Judith just couldn't believe anyone could love her despite her problems. I don't want to give any of the plot away, but I encourage to embrace this marvelous book. Please read this amazing book. If no other reason then that it is a fantastic depiction of the hardship and trials people faced during that horrific war, but I'm sure you will appreciate the great love between the couple. I rarely cry when reading a book, but this one definitely brought tears to my eyes. This is the best book I've read in 2017. It will definitely remain on my keeper shelf. Happy reading!

The Silent Duke Audiobook by Jess Michaels

Title: The Silent Duke Subtitle: The 1797 Club, Book 4 Author: Jess Michaels Narrator: Danielle O'Farrell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-18 Publisher: The Passionate Pen LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: A hot historical from five-time USA Today best-selling author Jess Michaels. Born mute, Ewan Hoffstead, Duke of Donburrow, was abused by his wicked father and wretched younger brothers until an uncle swept in to save the day. Still, he carries the scars of his past with him, including a terrible belief that perhaps a "person like him" truly doesnt deserve the title his uncle fought so hard for him to earn. Recently widowed Charlotte may be the proper Countess of Portsmith to society, but when she is around Ewan, she still feels like the enraptured little girl who met him decades before when her brother was best friends with him and his cousin. A planned trip to spend Christmas with their families at Ewans estate reunites the old friends. But when a storm keeps the others from arriving on time, Charlotte decides to stop living in fear and pursue the man she has desired and loved her entire life. Ewan cannot resist her seduction, but he fears giving in to his heart. Especially when the family that disposed of him returns and threatens not only his life, but that of the woman he loves. Members Reviews: Enjoyable and offbeat I liked the premise of a mute man finding his way in life, and the idea of a woman who has loved him since childhood. Ewan, heir to a dukedom, is born mute. As such, he is reviled by his father and eventually given to a loving aunt and uncle to raise. But, the scars of his early childhood remain and inform his life and his choices on a daily basis. These experiences make him very reluctant to offer his heart to anyone. Charlotte was his childhood friend, who developed a form a sign language with him in order to enable him to communicate more easily with the world. No one else has ever been able to learn it, but it is how Charlotte and Ewan communicate. She is now a young widow, and she and her late husband were never in love; it had been an arranged match. Determined to finally get the man she has always loved, she sets out on a ruthless plan of seduction (She seems pretty sexually enlightened for a young noblewoman of her era, even for a widow, but thereby hangs the tale, I suppose.), regardless of Ewan's efforts to hold her at bay. He has no wish to subject her to the ridicule and derision he often faces, nor does he wish to pass along his affliction to any progeny. Add to this the fact that his younger brother is determined to usurp the title, it all makes for an interesting little drama. The sex scenes are pretty hot, but very tender, and the h&H are interesting and sympathetic characters. You can't help but like them and want them to find that HEA. I also liked the extended family and friends of this couple. They (the h&H) have been lifelong friends, so they have many loved ones in common who all love them in return and want them to be happy. The book is well written and the atmosphere and descriptions are well-executed. The narration is slow, so I sped up the listen to 1.25 and that made it much more 'listenable', if you will. I liked the reader's voice, she just speaks very slowly. All in all, it was an enjoyable listen and I recommend it to fans of Regency/Victorian/historical romance, and readers who are simply looking for a fun few hours of escape. I liked the premise of the story the silent Duke. I like the Story, but the narration was terrible.

The brilliant, bespectacled daughter of a double marquess cares more for books than balls, for science than the season, and for laboratories than love. She's looking forward to marrying her simple fiancé and living out her days quietly with her dogs and her scientific experiments. But before that, Pippa has two weeks to experience all the rest - 14 days to research the exciting parts of life. It's not much time, and to do it right she needs a guide familiar with London's darker corners. She needs...a Scoundrel. She needs Cross, the clever, controlled partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, with a carefully crafted reputation for wickedness. But reputations often hide the darkest secrets, and when the unconventional Pippa boldly propositions him, seeking science without emotion, she threatens all he works to protect. He is tempted to give Pippa precisely what she wants...but the scoundrel is more than he seems, and it will take every ounce of his willpower to resist giving the lady more than she ever imagined. Members Reviews: Pippa's thirst for knowledge leads her to Love This book was way better than book 1. It definitely rescued this series for me. Lady Philippa "Pippa" Marbury is the fourth daughter of the Marguess of Needham and Dolby. She doesn't believe in luck and she believes in scientific explanations for everything. Logic and Truth always wins out in Pippa's world. She is engaged to the Lord Castleton but decided she wanted to do research on what is necessary to be a proper wife. Pippa deals with her nerves by gathering knowledge so she can feel prepared. She decides to go to the most notorious gaming hall in London, The Fallen Angel, because the owner Jasper Cross is notorious rake. Pippa asks him to help her with her research on how to please her fiancee as a wife, and thus opening up a pandora's box with Cross. Cross wasn't nobility but he seemed to be the only one in London who didn't find Pippa to be a nerd, geek or odd. He actually enjoyed engaging her in discussion but he couldn't offer her a life like she could have with Lord Castleton. What I loved about this one was Pippa's honesty, her strength, her resolve and her curiosity about everything. She made being smart look fun, not odd. I chuckled at her a number of times. She said things people were afraid to say, she was a really good heroine. Jasper finally met his match and she kept him honest. I liked this story much more than the Pippa's sister in book 1. I look forward to book 3. A slow burn I really liked this story, even more than the fist book. It was a slow burn between Cross and Pippa and at times Inthought they would not end up together but their story was beautifully romantic and many times sexy without actual sex. The narrator as always does an amazing job with accents and the different male and female voices. She's the best at historical romances. DISAPPOINTED Would you try another book from Sarah MacLean and/or Rosalyn Landor? Yes, I am looking forward to the next book in this series and Rosalyn Landor is my favorite narrator. If youve listened to books by Sarah MacLean before, how does this one compare? This book was just not as good as the first book in the series. I think Ms.

Members Reviews: love Karen always creates great stories I have been a fan of hers for years. It's a good clean Christian book that demonstrate many life lessons. The readers voice is horrible I love my audio books but I honestly couldnt finish this book cause I couldnt stand listening to this automatons voice. I really dont think this was a human reading the book. :/ This was truly the worst audible book Ive ever heard. Ill try reading it :/ Great Book!!! I loved the book. I have read some other books on the Baxter family. I am definitely going to finish the rest of them now. I really thought this one the best so far, however I think I always say that after each story. Great love story I loved the story because of its ecouraging theme of love and God through good times and bad times. I liked the use of a male and female narrator. Warmed my heart! If you could sum up Love Story in three words, what would they be? Warmed my heart! What did you like best about this story? I liked hearing about the love story between Elizabeth and John, and Ashley and Landon! Every time I read/listen to one of your books I always take something away with, and see Scripture in a different way! What about January LaVoy and Kirby Heyborne s performance did you like? They speak clearly and pronunciate their words greatly. I have a physical disability and one of the symptoms is hearing loss. I do not have any trouble hearing them! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I love when Cole found the gentleman that helped John with his vehicle and with his soul when he was looking for Elizabeth. At that time John helped him reconnect his relationship with God! Any additional comments? I love reading about the Baxter family!

A longing to forget compels him. Fate may send them into each other's arms, but only love can mend their hearts. An Outlander Raised by a tyrannical father, Marion de Lacy yearns for the comfort of belonging to a loving family. So when her father announces her betrothal to an evil knight in exchange for his help to overthrow the king, she concocts a desperate scheme to avoid the marriage: feigning her own death and then fleeing England. But when her plan goes terribly awry and she's captured by the knight, not even her careful preparations could ready her for the Scottish barbarian who rescues her and then informs her that he's to marry her by edict of her king. Certain her father will defy the king's orders and wed her to the knight if she refuses the Highlander's hand, Marion agrees to marry the strangely compelling but obstinate laird of the MacLeod clan. A Highlander After the death of his beloved wife, Iain MacLeod has no desire to marry ever again. Yet when he finds himself obliged to do so to secure the freedom of his childhood friend and king, he reluctantly travels across England to collect his unwanted bride, expecting to find a cold Englishwoman. Instead, he discovers a fiery, bold beauty who is fiercely loyal, protective of those she loves, and defies him at every turn, challenging his certainty that his heart is dead. Ensnared Following a hasty marriage and perilous journey to Scotland, Marion harbors no illusions that her new husband loves her. Still, her heart cannot resist the noble, brave warrior, and she cannot suppress the hope that she has finally found where she belongs. However, the harder she tries to fit in with the clan and gain Iain's love, the farther away her dreams drift. Iain is more than willing to give his respect to his courageous wife - her kisses and caresses even ignite his blood and demand his passion - but he refuses to give up his heart. Members Reviews: one of my all-time favorites ! I rarely write reviews. I have read hundreds of these stories, and this is one of my all-time favorites. I cannot wait for the next to his series to arrive. so if you're deciding between this and another selection, pick this one :-) A Little DeJaVu.....But Great! I love highlander books and this one is enchanting, exciting, and adventurous from beginning to end. It has wonderful characters and a delightful story......but I have to admit, a little into the story I started to get a little dejavu. It took me a while to figure it out but the story is very reminiscent of "The Bride" by Julie Garwood. In fact, much of the storyline is similar. So, if you liked "The Bride" you are sure to enjoy this one too. Tim Campbell did a wonderful job narrating, as usual. I enjoyed every moment immensely I couldn't stop listening to the narration. Started listening to the book on a Friday evening and finished it the next day, that's how enthralled I was. Ok Highlander This story was just ok. I didn't think it was all that great. Your average Highlander plot...I think it needs a twist of some sort it was predictable. Ok for the credit I guess....don't think Ill go on to the next one. Truly Worth the Read I am a huge Outlander fanatic and must say that I expected this book to mimic its story line.

Members Reviews: Please give us the other two books in the series!! I absolutely love this story I fell in love with it from the first chapter Paulina is an amazing writer. It would be an honor for me to listen to the other two books read by this narrator also, James Langton did a marvelous job. His voice brought all the characters alive couldn't stop listening. Please once again the next two books of the trilogy would be wonderful. No one should miss listening to this love story. My Grandfathers were in WWll on the US side and I throughly enjoy these stories, they tell how everyone suffered so much and all is for freedom to live and love under God. Thank You! MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY EVER!! Would you listen to The Bronze Horseman again? Why? YES!! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!! I'll probably play it out till it breaks!! What about James Langtons performance did you like? This story was released a few months ago by a different narrator and he absolutely ruined the story! I don't know why but it was re-done by James Langton and I'm so grateful!!! He did Fabulous! Awesome! Wonderful!! I'll never forget it!! I wanna kiss him!! He brought the best story I've ever read alive like no one else could!! Any additional comments? So... I read this book like 3 years ago and since then I've read it at least 4 more times. I was never going to review it. Not because I didn't like it but because I'm scared of the inadequacy of my words. There are just no words. Do you hear me? NO. WORDS. That can explain to you the AWESOME EPICNESS that is The Bronze Horseman. I use the word awesome because what it means... adjective1.causing or inducing awe; inspiring an overwhelming feeling of reverence of admiration... That's just an inch of the feelings you get when you read the story of Tatiana and Alexander. For me it was this all consuming reverence that made me feel like my heart was being clutched in someone's fist. It was heartbreak and joy. Agony and happiness. Desolation and reparation. Grief and love. It was sorrow and adoration. Brutality and tenderness. It was hunger and it was fulfillment. It was regret and it was devotion. It's my true love. Like the one person who no matter where they are, or who came before or after, it will ALWAYS be that person. Well for me The Bronze Horseman is incomparable. I keep it on my night stand always.

Title: Romancing Mister Bridgerton Author: Julia Quinn Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 367 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Everyone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London. Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for...well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret...and fears she doesn't know him at all. Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same - especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide...is she his biggest threat - or his promise of a happy ending? Members Reviews: One of the Best of the Series Would you listen to Romancing Mister Bridgerton again? Why? Probably. It stands out from many of the other books in the series and was entertaining. What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like? She always delivers a captivating performance. I particularly like how she portrays a jovial mood in characters over the Bridgerton series. Any additional comments? This is a solid win for the series. The story and characters were engaging, and the romance differed given the female protagonist doesn't fit the stereotype of this genre. I was a little dismayed at how quickly mercurial Colin became given he's the affable joker of the Bridgerton clan, and I thought Penelope could have shown a little more backbone at times. But alas, I'm being picky. This is worth a listen if you like historical romance. I do love the Bridgertons! (& Whistledown) Julia Quinn telling a Bridgerton tale, there isn't another experience quite like it! This is 'regency' romance at its best. And Collin..... The Whistledown mystery gets revealed, such fun! Rosalyn Landor is perfect for these books. There's plenty of chemistry and a fair amount of steam. Creditworthy as always for this pairing of author and narrator! Great addition to the Bridgerton series This was a great addition to the series, Thank goodness audible added after all this time. This was a the story of Colin Bridgeton finding love. It also has an interesting twist about finding out who Miss Whistledown is. Well worth the credit, I couldn't go on to the next book in this series until I listened to this one. The Wallflower Would you listen to Romancing Mister Bridgerton again? Why? Absolutely. Julia Quinn has created a wonderful world full of lovable characters. Who was your favorite character and why? Penelope Featherington was definitely my favorite character. She is smart and funny, and most of all, a good person. good one of the better on this series. a bit too much repetitive about the big 'secret'

Opiniones de los miembros: Pésima edición Would you consider the audio edition of El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera [Love in the Time of Cholera] to be better than the print version? No, desafortunadamente esta edición está plagada de cortes que no hacen más que hablar de un editor descuidado y con prisa por publicar la versión en audiolibro, sin darse a la tarea de escuchar con calma el audio final. Any additional comments? Realmente es poco lo que se podría agregar a lo que cientos de miles de lectores cautivados ya han dicho de este libro, quizá sólo mencionar que esta debe ser ya mi cuarta lectura y, creo que eso también habla muy bien de un libro. Infortunadamente, no puedo decir lo mismo de la edición, que en esta ocasión toco en audiolibro, que resulta desastrosa, por decir lo menos. Es una lástima que una obra de esta envergadura no tenga una edición igualmente impecable, el narrador es muy bueno, pero los cortes y errores son terribles. Resulta fácil entender que ningún libro se escapa de las erratas, pero cuando una obra está plagada de ellas, habla de un editor descuidado y con prisa por publicar una obra. Una lástima que le haya tocado este editor precisamente a una obra de García Márquez, que merecía, como ya lo he comentado, una edición impecable. Necesitan editar el audiolibro Pareciera que no escucharon su audiolibro. Tiene muchos errores de edición, lo cual es una lástima porque el narrador me parecio bastante bueno y el libro en si fue extraordinario. Hermoso libro, audio bueno, pocos errores Excelente historia. El audio tiene algunas repeticiones que son error de la persona que lo edito. bueno Muy bueno, algunos errores de edición, pero nada del otro mundo , vale la pena el libro (a pesar de esos errores). Totalmente recomendable Excelente libro / Problemas edición grabación El libro es extraordinario! Buen locutor! Debieron limpiar ligeros errores de grabación. No la limpiaron

Title: The Wedding Subtitle: The Lairds' Brides, Book 2 Author: Julie Garwood Narrator: Heather Wilds Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 08-28-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1498 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Julie Garwood has captured the hearts of millions of listeners worldwide with timeless tales of love and soaring adventure. Now, returning to the enchanting world of her classic love story The Bride, she brings to glorious life the passion, intrigue, and rivalry of medieval Scotland.... Resigned to an arranged marriage to a highland laird she has never met, Lady Brenna journeys from England to Scotland certain she will suffer a loveless marriage. But en route to her betrothed, a rival band of Werce, painted warriors intercept her caravan and demand that she marry their leader -- the handsome, quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister, the same man she'd repeatedly proposed to as a child while he'd been a visitor to her father's castle. Though Brenna scarcely remembers the secret missives she'd sent to MacAlister declaring her love, she has never forgotten the tall visitor's dazzling, unexpected smile. Now older and wiser, Brenna harbors no illusions that Connor is in love with her -- indeed, after a hasty forest wedding, Connor assures her she can return home once she has borne him a son. Lady Brenna has no idea that her capture is merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy. Determined to be happy, Brenna soon endears herself to most of the MacAlister clan, despite -- or perhaps because of -- her uncanny knack for getting into trouble. And although she comes to adore her brave, superstitious, gentle husband, she has no clue that Connor lives for the moments she whispers "I love you"...words she never meant him to hear. But, as she sets out to win the heart of the brave chieftain, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant husband can save her.... Members Reviews: Narrator PERFECTION, delicious characters Garwood once again created outstanding characters and their banter is the best element of the book. Heather Wilds is an EXCEPTIONAL narrator and is only second to Kate Reading in my opinion. This book is not as good as The Bride, but is still great and credit worthy. If you enjoy Garwood's characters then you will like these as well. I actually liked the first half of the book much better than the last half. The first half had me laughing and crying. Then it seemed to slightly flatten out, but I still enjoyed it very much. Loved the narrator If you could sum up The Wedding in three words, what would they be? Great love story. This is the first Julie Garwood book that I couldn't quit listening too. The narrator made the book. Incredible Narrrator Any additional comments? I can count on Julie Garwood to give me a good book that I can escape into. But I really like the ones set in the Highlands.There's nothing like a Highland warrior. (Hot flash!) But no matter how good the story, the narration really makes a difference. Heather Wilds doesn't just read the story, she brings it to life. I want to listen to more stories read by Heather Wilds. One of My Favorite Garwood Books! Would you listen to The Wedding again? Why? Yes. This is one of my favorite Garwood audiobooks.

Title: The Secret Subtitle: Highlands' Lairds, Book 1 Author: Julie Garwood Narrator: Susan Duerden Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3457 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Julie Garwood captures the Highland splendor of medieval Scotland in this breathtaking love story. The inspiration for her acclaimed bestseller Ransom, this classic tale is a passionate masterpiece from one of the best-loved storytellers of all time. Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. Her dear Scottish friend from childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered. In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his passionate caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature, Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clan...not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves! Members Reviews: Nice Historical Highland Romance I found this book to be well written that kept my interest. I enjoyed the friendships, struggles, and romance throughout the book. I don't understand why many people disliked the narrator but I thought she was good.....not great but good. She whispered when the words said "she whispered" so what was the problem. Anyway I will definately listen to the next book in the series. MEDIEVAL HIGHLAND ROMANCE AT IT'S BEST Oh boy, I'm so easily pleased - just give me a hunky handsome Highland Warrior in a kilt (a must), add some interesting amusing and likeable characters (also necessary) who are all involved in a charming passionate and funny story (preferable), throw in lots of romance and a little sex (an added bonus) then have it written by the gifted and talented Ms Garwood (wow) finally have it brought to life by the many voices of Susan Duerden and then folks...... I'm one happy lass. Audible - I'm afraid you will be getting an email from me soon begging you (on bended knees if necessary) to carry on with this series and add books 2 Ransom and 3 Shadow Music to your Library very very soon so I can add them to mine. Worth a credit? Well folks if you're like me and enjoy being mentally transported back in time then that would be a definitely, positively and absolutely YES. Whats not to like? Its got everything we love in a romance. A strong woman, a rough tough man who agains his will falls in love. Julie Garwood has long since been one of my favorite historical romance authors. I read this book years ago and was hesitant about listening to it on Audible, but I took the chance and am so glad I did. Absolutely A Refreshing Change! It is so refreshing to find a historical romance that is not just a bunch of sex scenes strung together around a weak story.

My Cousin Rachel Audiobook by Daphne du Maurier

Title: My Cousin Rachel Author: Daphne du Maurier Narrator: Jonathan Pryce Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1090 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Orphaned at an early age, Philip Ashley is raised by his benevolent older cousin, Ambrose. Resolutely single, Ambrose delights in Philip as his heir, a man who will love his grand home as much as he does himself. But the cosy world the two construct is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence. There he falls in love and marries - and there he dies suddenly. Jealous of his marriage, racked by suspicion at the hints in Ambrose's letters, and grief-stricken by his death, Philip prepares to meet his cousin's widow with hatred in his heart. Despite himself, Philip is drawn to this beautiful, sophisticated, mysterious Rachel like a moth to the flame. And yet . . . might she have had a hand in Ambrose's death? Members Reviews: AN INCREDIBLE NOVEL -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! In my 20+ years as a story analyst for Hollywood film studios and production companies, I've read my share of stories and we are always looking for that "sense of foreboding," no matter the genre. This is easy to achieve for a scene or two but difficult to sustain. My Cousin Rachel not only opens with a sense of foreboding but Daphne du Maurier has the skill to continue it all the way to the very last word. I have been a longtime fan of du Maurier's Rebecca; in fact, it's in my Top 10 all-time favorite novels. But, I found My Cousin Rachel to be just a tad more accessible than Rebecca and equally as compelling. This is the story of Ambrose Ashley and his ward, his young cousin Philip, who are torn apart by the appearance into their lives of a distant cousin named Rachel. When Ambrose, who is not in good health and must spend winters in warmer climates, moves to Italy for the winter and marries Rachel suddenly, Philip is not pleased. In fact, he's jealous and thinks the worst of Ambrose's new bride. But when Ambrose ends up dying while abroad, all kinds of evil thoughts float through Philip's mind, prompted by letters to him from Ambrose. The most important thought is: did Rachel poison Ambrose? And then Rachel comes to England and meets Philip. At first suspicious, Philip soon finds his cousin Rachel to be sweet and kind and considerate...or, is she? This gothic-romance is stirring and engaging and a wonderful literary experience. I highly recommend it. In addition, the narration by Jonathan Pryce adds so much to the literary experience. He captures the smoldering tension floating through Philip's mind and makes the novel easy to listen to and easy to understand. In other words, he's fantastic! My first DDM novel & won't be my last! As a huge Graham Greene fan, one of her novels popped up in 'people also purchased' while looking through GG's 'also'. I chose "My Cousin Rachel" based on reviews & commentary about DDM's ability to maintain suspense throughout the novel. They were right! And such a unique type of suspense - a low level of dread that made me ache for the ending or final surprise reveal (if there was going to be one) from the first 30 minutes. One of those rare novels that leaves you feeling you're still living the narrator's life long after you're done. her best even more sophisticated than Rebecca. splendidly performed. psychologically brilliant.

Yet Rhys' determined seduction awakens an intense mutual passion. Helen's gentle upbringing belies a stubborn conviction that only she can tame her unruly husband. As Rhys' enemies conspire against them, Helen must trust him with her darkest secret. The risks are unthinkable...the reward a lifetime of incomparable bliss. Members Reviews: LOVED LOVED MARRYING WINTERBORNE!! Would you listen to Marrying Winterborne again? Why? Yes The story is very good and so is the narration!! What other book might you compare Marrying Winterborne to and why? Secrets of a Summer Nights. There are similarities between Simon Hunt and Rhys Winterborne of Marrying Winterborne. Have you listened to any of Mary Jane Wellss other performances before? How does this one compare? I am not sure. But she did an excellent job in narration Marrying Winterborne!! Very good Narrator!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes!! Any additional comments? I Loved, Loved Marrying Winterborne!! Let me say I saw a review that said this was a republished book by Lisa Kleypas. That is NOT TRUE!!. I have been reading this authors books since 1993 and this is NOT A REPRINT!! There is a similarity with Simon Hunt from Secrets of a Summers Night. But they are not the same characters at all. Now on to the review. I loved Helen she is a strong female character and very feminine. She not hard or cold like so many Historical romance heroines are. She is strong as nails but as soft and kind and sensible as Cream. Rhys Winterborne is my new imaginary lover. He is a wonderful hero and he does all that is necessary for his heroine Helen. The love they share just oozes off the pages. It's realistic and the story feels like a historical romance instead of a contemporary romance pretending to be Historic. The secondary characters Mrs. Fernsby and Lady Berwick are colorful and delightful. The whole story is a pleasure to read. This story starts out with hot sexy and sensuous loving making scenes, which I feel was necessary to the way the story is written. Also, it shows a clear commitment that Helen has made toward Rhys. I really like the fact that there is virtually no ridiculous Angst in this story. Angst is used for authors who have no story to tell. Lisa Kleypas is one of the best and most authentic Historical Romance authors there is!! I Highly Recommend Marrying Winterborne!! I really can't wait for the next book in the Ravenel series. Read "Cold Hearted Rake" first... I read a lot of reviews were people complained because this book wasn't good as a standalone. "Cold Hearted Rake" is the predecessor to this book. It does have a lot of story that helps to understand the story in "Marrying Winterborne" more, but having read both books, I really felt like this book would've been fine if you haven't read the other one first.

She brazenly resisted him - until one rapturous moment quelled their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire promised to conquer her heart... Members Reviews: Awesome!! I am a devoted Julie Garwood Fan..So I was very happy when the Unabridged version of this book became available. The Bride was one of Garwoods earlier books and if you haven't read any of her historicals I recommend that you do. The Bride as all the elements that a true love story is made of. An Audible Favorite! If you could sum up The Bride in three words, what would they be? Delicious * Emotional * Austen-ish What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bride? From beginning to end, I found myself captured by this story. The Bride, by Julie Garwood is very Austen-ish in the quality of her character development and story telling. I loved this book. Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landors other performances before? How does this one compare? Rosalyn Landor's performance is spectacular. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I could not put this book down, and listened to it well into the night. Any additional comments? More...more...more Witty, delightful and wonderfully woven! What a fabulous story Julie Garwood has woven! Enriched with memorable and lively characters who are daring, compelling and so rich with life, they all but burst from the pages! Set against the wild landscape of the Scottish Highlands, this captivating tale weaves a spell and keeps the reader entranced to it's most satisfying conclusion. Simply a Gem! Wonderful narration by the talented and versatile Rosalyn Landor!! Pleasant surprise.....I laughed so hard it hurt! I'm not into historical romance novels, but I have found a soft spot for highlander stories, and this one was awesome! Imagine a feisty English Woman ordered by her King to marry a Scot!!!! Oh yes...a nasty Scot who can't be trusted...did I mention there is this horrible rumor that he killed his first wife? Perpetuated by her own father who is sure it wasn't on purpose, just probably a beating that went too far....oh yeah....she is SOOOO happy! How will her father survive? She does all the hunting, the tax collecting, the cooking, the mediating, the protecting....sure she has 4 older sisters, and a father, but SHE is the one that runs the house! Imagine a dominating Scottish Laird who has been ordered by HIS King to marry an English Baron's daughter!!!! Oh yes....a cold hearted always crying useless English Lady who probably can't even ride a horse! Did I mention there was a handy stable hand who told the Laird that all the lady liked to do was drink tea and pray all day? This book made me laugh so hard my husband thought I was having an asthma attack! The dialogue between these two strong willed people was wonderful! They bait each other like an old married couple each trying to get the upper hand in their sparring match of words...so delicious! And yes, there are some steamy scenes thrown in just to make it one of the all around best books I have ever listened to. Thanks for the daily deal audible, this one I would have paid list price for! Wonderful I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was brilliant, worth the listen.

Members Reviews: To overcome darkness This story of Troy de Wolfe is one of my all time favorites. I have looked forward to William and Jordans sons stories. Brad Wills is an awesome narrator and brought this story to life. Pure Beauty and Powerful!! Troy was a twin to Scott de Wolfe. They were the eldest sons of William and Jorden. Both twins had lost their wives and young children by drowning. Scott drowned his sorrows by leaving and hadnt been seen for two years. Troy had stayed home to help his father and he had gone dark. He had been known to kill men with his bare hands in a fight. Then one day he was pitted in a fight, one on one. He didnt know he would be facing a Scottish woman until she took her helmet off. Then things got heated up! The sound of Brad Wills voice gave me chill bumps and they brought along all of their friends! This narrator is the best I have ever heard! Exciting story, exciting narration. Dont miss this one. Awesome! Another wonderful Wolfe novel by the marvelous Kathryn KeVeque.....nursing an awful cold while listening to this wonderful touching story......went through a whole box of tissues! Oh Kathryn.....keep on writing! I'm collecting all your Kindle and Audible books....can hardly wait for the next release!

This makes the entire series more fascinating and makes you feel torn between Ross and Demelza. Elisabeth and George. You will feel contempt and compassion where you would not. Worth your time, money or Credit A roller coaster of emotions. I think this is the best book in the Poldark series it take you through an emotional roller coaster. loved this book!!! I listened to all 4 Poldark books and loved them!! Great story! Very clean! Great audiobook ! Totally enjoyed this book...left me wondering what comes next! I highly recommend to those whom love Poldark...you won't be disappointed! More like acting than reading to you The people reading this series of books is what really excites me. I like how they use inflection and the different accents that I could not do in my head if I were reading the book myself. Being a southern American, my accents would be all wrong and could not dare do this book justice if just reading it. Even though I've seen the PBS/BBC series production, the books are worth the listen. Downloading the next in series now.

He must somehow convince her to gamble on a dour duke. But can Jemmah trust a rogue promised to another? One who's sworn never to love again? Caution: This historical regency romance contains a duke who literally thumbs his nose at society, a sweet and intelligent wallflower with a secret dream, a villainess worthy of a fairy tale, and two delightful match-making dowagers. Members Reviews: Wonderful Story A Diamond for a Duke is the retelling of a Cinderella-like story by Charles Perrault entitled Toads and Diamonds. This is a heartwarming tale of a lonely Duke and a young lady treated little better than a servant by her mother and older sister. They are childhood friends who lost touch with each other. Is it possible that these two friends could find their happily ever after with each other? Aunt Theo and Lady Lockhart, aka the fairy godmothers in this tale, think so and embark on a plan to make it happen. This story has all the elements of a good fairy tale. There is a sweet damsel and a gallant rescuer. There are nasty villains and fairy godmothers to thwart them. Collette Cameron has written a happy and humorous story that will put a smile on your face. Stevie Zimmerman brings this charming story to life. Her narration is a pleasure to listen to and her voices are wonderful. Childhood romance comes true. Jules, the Sixth Duke of Dandridge, has had his fill of society. His preference is the countryside. He loved once at a young age and has since sworn of marriage. His uncles and aunts constantly prompt him to marry. Ton mamas throw their daughters at him.

Changed by the choices she made in order to survive, Mac no longer is the naïve, idealistic, and glamorous girl newly arrived in Dublin. Now, on a quest to find her sister's killer, she is a major player in a deadly game, but with one great advantage: she knows how to find the one thing Fae and human alike are willing to kill for - the Sinsar Dubh, an ancient book of magic so dark it corrupts anyone who touches it. What Mac soon discovers, however, is worse than she had imagined. Surrounded by treachery, her enemies indistinguishable from her allies, she can be certain of only one thing - as All Hallows' Eve approaches, her time is running out. Members Reviews: Wow! Thats all I can say about this 3rd installment in the Fever books. I love this series. A little romance but mainly suspense and intrigue. Many more questions were answered in this book but not enough and I suppose my only complaint would be the major cliff hanger at the end. Now I will have to wait for the fourth book to be published hopefully sometime in 2009 to find out what happens to Mac (and others). It will be a long wait! not Highlander I loved the Highland books, very spicy, and each book had an conclusion. I am enjoying these books but the endings leave me empty because there is none! You have to go to the next book and the next, so on. I prefer a good ending so I don't feel left hanging. Also there is so much erotic tension between the characters at least in the Highlander they would consummate their relationship in each book. I'm at the end of the third book and still allot of tension and no consummation. The books are getting very frustrating and I don't know if the next book has even been published. I'm not sure if I'll read any more of the Fever books it seams that it will go on and on with more frustration. Cliffhanger Whoever sold Ms. Moning on the episode format for her "Fever" books did a disservice to her usual good writing. This is part of a book, not a whole book. Be prepared for too many rehashing reminders of plot threads from previous books, and a very irritating cliffhanger that dumps the reader in the middle of the climax. This format is better left for television, wherein an audience does not have to wait months to find out what happened. Good story, terrible narration Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend the written book over the audio for this installment of the series. The book is essential to understanding the next in the series. What did you like best about this story? I love the series, so I liked the book. Some answers to questions from previous books, but more questions arise and are left unanswered. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joyce Bean? Natalie Ross. Joyce Bean makes it unbearable. I listened to about half of the book and then switched to reading the rest myself. She narrates Mac like a much older woman, and all her male characters have the same croaky sound. Just a very poor choice for this book. Was Faefever worth the listening time? It isn't worth listening to if you can read it in print instead. I didn't finish listening to it, I finished the book in print.

He pretends to be engaged to the lovely Daphne Bridgerton. After all, it isn't as if the brooding rogue has any real plans to marry - though there is something about the alluring Miss Bridgerton that sets Simon's heart beating a bit faster. And as for Daphne, surely the clever debutante will attract some very worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, she soon forgets that their courtship is a complete sham. And now she has to do the impossible and keep herself from losing her heart and soul completely to the handsome hell-raiser who has sworn off marriage forever! Members Reviews: I liked it a lot Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this romance. It is a good story with good characters. The Bridgeton family is made up of 9 great characters - the mother and 8 children. Daphne, the eldest daughter is the heroine in this book. She get involved with the Duke of Hastings who suffers with a stammer and his hatred of his wicked father. Can the love a good woman help him get over his problems? *Unpopular opinion time* Disappointed. Actually, disappointed doesn't even begin to describe it. Once upon a time, I wasn't into historical romance. I thought they were silly and anti-women, and I wasn't even interested in trying them. Thankfully, I discovered historical romances by Tessa Dare and Courtney Milan, and I fell head over heels for the genre. I'm thanking my lucky stars that I didn't try this book first because I fear I would have never read the genre again. I've been meaning to try this series for some time now. I've read Julia Quinn before, and I really liked Because of Miss Bridgerton. EVERYONE has told me to try the original Bridgerton series, starting with The Duke and I. So, of course, I decided to take the series on, and I even bought the next couple of books following the first. However, I'm absolutely flummoxed by the love for this book. Daphne Bridgerton was the worst heroine that I've read in a long time. She is meant to be strong and spunky, but I thought that she was self-serving and TSTL. I actually hated her. She manipulated poor Simon every step of the way. She forced him to befriend her, she forced him to marry her, and forced him in other ways that found absolutely morally reprehensible. She was vile, truly, and thought herself to be entirely blameless throughout the story. Simon didn't quite make sense either. He had a rakish reputations, one that I didn't see any evidence of in the story, and had a twisted mentality about his situation. He was self-pitying and broody, and though I didn't like him, I thought he got the short end of the stick being stuck with Daphne. To top it off, the book was way too long, and it took me ages to finish the audiobook. I wasn't motivated to keep listening, even with a flawless narration from Rosalyn Landor, who did her very best to add personality and sympathy for these odious characters. I know, a very unpopular opinion, but this book only gets as high as 2-stars because of the narration. Otherwise, it would be in 1-star territory. Too much sex for this reader Any additional comments? Just a warning for those who like clean books. This one is not.

A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury. A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures. Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness - a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them... even her heart. Members Reviews: light and entertaining I bought this book primarily because of the narrator...Rosalyn Landor.What surprised me was the author,i found this a light read. Easy to follow. It was funny at times and the characters were great. I can't wait for the next book on Cross. I hope Landor will pick up from where she left of! Predictable with a Twist If you could sum up A Rogue by Any Other Name in three words, what would they be? This is a really good book. I love this author and this narrator. The Rogue is redeemed and the lady gets her dream husband. It's predictable but the twist is worth the read/listen. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Rogue by Any Other Name? The most memorable moment is when Penelope and Michael meet in the dark the first time after nine years but there were several other moments that are just as enjoyable. Though I can't recall each moment. I know this was a sweet and romantic story that made me laugh. What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Landor is an excellent narrator. You always feel like you are there. My first by this author And I loved it. I love Audible sales because I can listen to authors I have not experienced before. This was a delightful book by one of my favorite narrators! Very good start to the series :) 4 stars This was a very good story. I liked Penelope very much and Bourne wasn't too bad either. I thought they made a good couple and I couldn't help rooting for them to get together. This is the first story I've read by this author and I liked it well enough that I may try more of her work in the future. Penelope is the oldest daughter of 5 and becoming a spinster at the ripe old age of 28. She had been engaged to a Duke but he loved someone else and their engagement was broken in a scandal that caused Penelope to have trouble finding another suitable husband. She has had a few other offers but has been wanting more than the normal arranged marriage. Unfortunately she hasn't found more and now finds herself with none. Bourne is a Marquess who lost his parents at a young age. His guardian then convinced Bourne (as soon as he came of age and inherited everything) to wager everything he could that wasn't tied to his title on a game of cards...the winner of course was the guardian and Bourne was left with next to nothing. Bourne swore revenge and to get back everything that was stolen from him.

Grown now, they concentrate on stealing high-value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How does one steal a family's history, their very name? Peter Holstein, given his family's German blood, writes his popular series of adventure novels under a pen name. With European politics boiling and his own neighbors suspicious of him, Peter debates whether it might be best to change his name for good. When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family history, his question might be answered. But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late to help him prove that he's more than his name? Members Reviews: Wonderful Spy Mystery I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters are so endearing with hints of quirkiness. This is a spy style story that showcases lessons learned surrounding relationships with mystery. This book has a Christian theme that runs throughout but it's definitely not preachy. The narration was spot on.....every character was unique and the accents were perfection. Definitely will be checking out more in this series. Excellent Christian Fiction If you could sum up A Name Unknown in three words, what would they be? This book is Christian fiction, but it isn't boring. It is full of spies and the intrigue of world events leading up to WWI and thieves. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Liz Pearce is a really good narrator, and I was so excited to learn she'd done this one. I hope she does the rest of the series! Excellent Christian book I was not sure I would like this book at first but as the story progressed the better it got. This was a clean mystery that had me crying, laughing and wondering how it would turn out. I highly recommend this book to one and all! Fabulous! So witty and clever and inspiring! And this may be one of my favorite narrations ever, she absolutely made the story. This just spoke to me on so many levels. Buy this book you will be happy that you did! White Wins in my Audio World This story is a story within a story! It's "positively delightful" how White wraps up a London Librarian in disguise to spy on a man who, presents as a German loyalist, actually is a true live it Christian. Intrigue, hilarious scene after hilarious scene..kept me up all night, fighting to keep from "snorting in laughter as no lady would do"..This Book is honestly worth 3 credits- 1 for ea story in it, 1 for ea hilarious scene where ms. librarian boxes the ears of men in scenes who def deserve it, 1 for the "Said Dangerous, Bad Guy Bloke" who actually admires said librarian whose working for him..or so he thinks. A bonus credit for all the hilarious scenes..Bravo! Excellently written, Excellently narrated! My #2 favorite of 5yrs of Audible.

Her exotic beauty, courtesy of her foreign mother, has marked her as an outsider, and her ghastly reputation as a woman of loose virtue has only added to that status. The victim of a devious viscount's horrible lies, Kira has the chance to redeem herself and become a member of polite society as the fiancée of a respected country clergyman. She'll finally have a place to belong...even if it's in the tepid arms of a man she doesn't love. Gavin Daggett, Duke of Cropthorne, isn't about to let his naive country cousin marry a scandalous woman like Kira Melbourne. The solution is a simple one: Gavin will seduce the vixen and prove her unworthiness, thereby releasing his cousin from any obligation. But spending time with Kira is like awakening to a world of color and beauty, and it stirs the fiery desires Gavin has fought to suppress his entire life. Caught in his own dangerous game, sharing forbidden pleasure with Kira, Gavin knows that the price of loving her is high - and yet it is one that he will willingly pay...with every beat of his heart. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Loved it Kira Melbourne is running from a scandal. She foolishly ran way with a nobleman whom she thought was going to whisk her off to Gretna Green, instead he abandoned her and told the ton about her "wanton" behavior. Kira is simply one of the best and most complex heroines I have ever read about in a romance novel. She is half Persian and she is considered bad blood. She cannot find her place either in London or Persia. She desires peace and a family and the only one able to provide these for her is a sweet vicar. The Vicar knows of her past but dismisses it. He does not love Kira but desires to save her. This too-good-to-be-true vicar has an important cousin though, Gavin Daggett, the Duke of Cropthorne Gavin has heard the rumors surrounding Kira and is appalled. He decides seducing her is the only way to show his cousin her true nature. Of course, the seducer becomes the seduced. Shelly Bradley doesn't take the easy road with these two characters though. Gavin is prejudiced against Kira's Middle Eastern bloodline. Furthermore, he feels ashamed and guilty for his prejudice. His seduction is despicable and he knows this but seems unable to stop things once they are in motion. Kira is so incredibly lonely that it is totally understandable why she would see Gavin's cousin as her savior. It also explains why she responds so quickly to Gavin's seduction. He portrays kindness and acceptance, something she has never had her entire life from the ton. He is also passionate and ready to take a stand on her behalf. Gavin has his own demons to exorcise. He does not want to succumb to real love and passion, else he end up like his father, an indiscriminate womanizer. His transformation is slow but by the end of the book he is totally redeemed and worthy of his heroine. Kira was bold, brave and had a wealth of kindness. Her unselfish nature and confidence were amazing even under some of the most trying circumstances. This book will most assuredly go on my keeper shelf. Strictly Forbidden Kira Melbourne has been an outcast from society for most of her life.She was half Persian and English so was not accepted in proper society.

Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight. Who was that extraordinary woman? Ever since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other - except perhaps this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid's garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet if he offers her his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love? Members Reviews: Excellent, Touching! If you could sum up An Offer from a Gentleman in three words, what would they be? Finding true love What was one of the most memorable moments of An Offer from a Gentleman? There were so many memorable moments. When Benedict rescues Sophie from the son of the household she was working at, and from the son's drunken friends, was one. Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landors other performances before? How does this one compare? She always gives a great performance. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and did. I started listening to it in the afternoon and did not finish until the wee hours of the next day. Any additional comments? The book was wonderfully written and the performance perfection. Classic series. Loving this series. Worth the wait for it's arrival on audio and it's been many years. Perfect storytelling and narration. Much better after "Cinderella" goes away. Would you listen to An Offer from a Gentleman again? Why? Maybe. The recreation of the Cinderella story may not be as disconcerting as it was the first time around.After the too obvious, the story was much better. Would you recommend An Offer from a Gentleman to your friends? Why or why not? Maybe. It is fun. It is fluff and it was so much better after the author got away from the exact Cinderella story. Which scene was your favorite? The scenes in the jail and then in front of the magistrate.The truth comes out! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Any additional comments? The first part of the story so paralleled the Cinderella story that I could not lose myself in the tale. After it changed, I enjoyed a typical romantic story. Love love love the Bridgertons! Such a very good book! I laughed, cried, swore, exclaimed and listened in a single marathon. Fabulous Narration! Sweet sex. Definitely creditworthy! Entranced the whole time! Even though it is an obvious reselling with nice variations of the Cinderella story, I thoroughly enjoyed it and was never disappointed but always hung on every spoken word. I love Rosalyn Landon's narration, she is absolutely one of the best for natural sounding male voices and making females voices fit their character personality. I love this family and have only read Antony and Daphnes stories so far, will look for others now.

She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: She invented a sweetheart. A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter...and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely. Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep - handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters...and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep. Members Reviews: Cute Story, But...... Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Doubtful. The theme of the story was charming: a shy debutante fearing her first London season and how she avoids it . Not interesting in marriage; wanting only to draw her pencil drawings Maddie devised a plan to stay at home. She created a love match with a Scottish Captain away at war. The beginning was delightful, the letters to the imaginary Captain were comical, but it soon lost it's humor and the story started going downhill after a real Captain MacKinzie appeared on the scene . The story didn't seem to have continuity and the very detailed sex scenes were 'thrown in' to take up space. I found the personalities of Maddie and the Captain inconsistent with the story as it progressed. It was poorly written in my estimation. What did you like best about this story? The beginning when Maddie invents her betrothed and the letters she wrote to her imaginary Captain. The narrator was also enjoyable to listen to. She did the Scottish accents especially well. Have you listened to any of Carmen Roses other performances before? How does this one compare? I don't remember hearing her before. What would have made this romance irresistible? I didn't find the book romantic. The sex scenes were too detailed and seemed to be thrown in, rather than romantically led up to. I found the sex scene that took place when Maddie had just dressed to go to a conference where she was to be honored for her illustrations especially repulsive and out of place. But I found most of them thus. Any additional comments? I would have liked the book if the body of the story was as convincing and enjoyable as the beginning; if the author had better considered the personalities she created in her main characters while writing her story. It's hard to describe, but it's like the rhythm of the story was off. Throwing in the sex scenes the way she did just made the story more disjointed. An unexpected pleasure The Shy Madeline gets panic attacks in crowds and so to avoid her debut into society she makes up a her engagement and romance to a Scottish Captain named Logan MacKenzie who supposedly has to leave to go to defend his country in a war right after they meet and fall in love. To keep up the deception she posts letters to him and also writes correspondence back to herself.

Members Reviews: When you love a SCOTSMAN I love Hannah Howell books. She is a very articulate writer with a wicked since of humor that seems to come through in her books. I believe that I know the Murray clan very well. This series of Scotsman living in America in the 1800's is very interesting. So many people came to America during this time period. Some found success, others did not. But all helped settle this country. I loved it! I loved it!! Abigail and Matthew worked so well together as a couple. I cannot wait for the rest of the brothers! I was a little sad that we didn't get much interaction this time with the rest of the family though. That being said, I still enjoyed it very much. Good read Good story line, very well written. Great follow up to the first book.. look forward to additional book's interesting take on civil war. Good book. Really like the series. Very good series so far. I have always been a fan of Hannah Howell books. I love her Highland and Western romance novels as well. When You Love A Scotsman by Hannah Howell Good book.

Title: Tatiana and Alexander Subtitle: The Bronze Horseman Trilogy, Book 2 Author: Paullina Simons Narrator: James Langton Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 548 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Paullina Simons's internationally best-selling blockbuster The Bronze Horseman told the heart-soaring tale of a young Russian woman's transcendent love affair with a Red Army soldier during the siege of Leningrad in the dark days of World War II. The epic story continues in Tatiana and Alexander - a novel of the enduring power of love and commitment against the devastating forces of war and the equally dangerous forces of keeping the peace. A sweeping, intensely compelling romantic historical saga, Tatiana and Alexander is a Russian Thorn Birds, and a truly unforgettable listening experience. Members Reviews: Second time around, still good In this second book in the series, the storytelling is still masterful; the performance spellbinding. I did find that a lot of the material from the first book was recycled in this one so would not rate it as highly as the first Still, suspenseful and a highly entertaining listening experience. One of the best sequels ever written Which character as performed by James Langton was your favorite? Every character!! James Langton is phenomenal. How he can transition from character to character so seamlessly amazes me. His performance in this trilogy is truly outstanding. He brings something different to every character that you wouldn't get from just reading the book. Instead of feeling like you're listening to a book, you almost feel emerged in the story and it's happening right in front of you. Bravo to James Langton. Any additional comments? Typically I find the second book of a trilogy to be the least enjoyable. Yes, this book is more about the struggles and revelations of the characters. However, Paullina Simons weaves the past and present beautifully together to tell an engrossing continuation of the incredible predecessor, TBH. This story was just as beautiful and exciting as the first. What more to say?! This trilogy is beautiful!! Wonderful to be back with my friends Tatiana and Alexander! The Bronze Horseman is one of my favorite books. Second sequel did not disappoint. I couldn't stop listening! Too much repetition At first, I appreciated the flashbacks to the first book as it had been a while since I'd read it. However too much of this book was that book. The storyline progressed very slowly. I personally don't like the narrator's female characters. Too much of the time, the story sounds sappy for lack of a better word. Strong female characters come across as fawning desperate. However, I like the story overall so I am giving in to temptation and listening to the last book! I just now noticed how many hours ideas and hope the increased number is not because it's going to recount the first two books in such detail. lovely historical fiction I loved this romance! historical fiction at its best, brought to life with the most memorable characters!

Title: The King's Curse Author: Philippa Gregory Narrator: Bianca Amato Format: Unabridged Length: 24 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1409 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Regarded as yet another threat to the volatile King Henry VII's claim to the throne, Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York (known as the White Princess) and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, is married off to a steady and kind Lancaster supporter - Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is entrusted with the governorship of Wales, but Margaret's contented daily life is changed forever with the arrival of Arthur, the young Prince of Wales, and his beautiful bride, Katherine of Aragon. Margaret soon becomes a trusted advisor and friend to the honeymooning couple, hiding her own royal connections in service to the Tudors. After the sudden death of Prince Arthur, Katherine leaves for London a widow, and fulfills her deathbed promise to her husband by marrying his brother, Henry VIII. Margaret's world is turned upside down by the surprising summons to court, where she becomes the chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine. But this charmed life of the wealthiest and "holiest" woman in England lasts only until the rise of Anne Boleyn, and the dramatic deterioration of the Tudor court. Margaret has to choose whether her allegiance is to the increasingly tyrannical king, or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or the theology which serves the new masters. Caught between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole has to find her own way as she carries the knowledge of an old curse on all the Tudors. Members Reviews: Dignified End of a Very Ambitious Series Where does The King's Curse rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This books ranks somewhere in the middle of all the audiobooks I have listened to, and that is probably because I have been listening to great books and wonderful audio performances as of late, so the middle is not bad at all. When listening/reading, It is very important to give Philippa Gregory her due as a writer, with an excellent grasp of York/Tudor history, and a wonderful imagination that she expertly uses to weave fiction through established historical facts. Philippa is a very effective writer....so effective that she keeps those of us who already know the end of her stories, reading until the last page. My somewhat tepid reception of this book probably has to do with the fact that I was too eager to get my Tudor fix and was expecting this to be one of the best books of the Cousin's War Series and (in my opinion) it was not. What other book might you compare The King's Curse to and why? This book covers most of the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII (in other words, the establishment of the Tudor dynasty). Margaret Pole, the narrator of this story, is the niece of Richard III and the grand daughter of the Earl of Warwick (the King Maker) and thus a scion of the House of York - the house that the Tudors supplanted when Henry VII defeated Richard III in battle. Margaret is also a cousin of the "White Princess" and niece (by marriage) of the "White Queen" (both have their own novels in the series). It is not unfair to compare the book, then, to other books in the series. In my opinion, "The White Queen" was the best, with the "Red Queen" following a close second. The central characters of these books, Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beauford were extremely compelling women and unique for their times, and this probably helped the author when writing the novels.

Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, plain, she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position. A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane.... For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself. And a marriage of convenience will become so much more.... Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she's convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps - just perhaps - her duke is not as cold as he appears. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Awesome story! This was a well written story and the characters came to life..could not put it down....Loved it! Loved it! Loved! I love these characters and their journey to one a I love these characters and their journey to one another. This is an at once , suspencful as well as humorfull compelling series. I very much look forward to the next instalments. WOW.....This was so good I thought I loved the first book....Nope! I loved this book even more. The character development, plot, smexy times, and romance was well worth it with this listen. I only wish the rest of the series was on Audible so I could get the next one. Oh well...I guess we all need something to look forward too. Please do not take too long. The narration was also awesome. USE YOUR LAST CREDIT FOR THIS LISTEN!! Enjoyed story.........shame about the narrators pronunciation I enjoyed this book immensely and Mary Sarah did a very good job. The only thing that irritated me was her pronunciation of certain words - bark instead of back - forther instead of father and so on. It was the only blot on what was an enjoyable listening experience. Great shame, as Im not sure I could put up with listening to her narrate again.

First book be this author and I appreciate how she relays love and passion without passionate scenes written in and yet one still feels the tension and longing intensely. Great performance.

This book was a charming and hilarious story! It was refreshing and pleasantly different than most romance novels I've read. I loved every moment! Clean and adventurous This story of Collins and Lucy is fun and adventurous. It is a story that exemplifies what many of us feel times of challenge. Lucy is a truly lovable character. A very nice story well narrated This is a lovely story told with humor and skill. Much better than most and worth the listen. Absolutely loved it! Sweet traditional Regency romance. Well narrated and very enjoyable. I would buy another book from this author and narrator combination.

But the party comes to an abrupt end when Logan receives an unexpected call, one that forces him to make a life-changing decision that could affect his relationship with Silver forever. Can they find the courage to weather the storm? Lives are at risk in this compelling and heartwarming story about the remarkable journey of love. Members Reviews: Fast pace Epilog I think book five is the symbolic end of the series even through the is a book six. This book (5.5) is a super epilogue. It is set 4 years after book five ends and we we see some of the things play out from the end of book five. I liked that this moved very fast. Only three hours of listening, you have to move briskly. We meet a new character in this book, which I believe will be paired with Simon for book six. I really like the way Dark is winding up the series. Great job and give them all a read. THANK YOU! i always wanted to know this part of the story between silver and logan! loved it ofc! Yay! What an awesome edition to the series! Helps to clear up and add to the story! wonderful! Once again, another amazing book by Dannika Dark. Can't wait for more books in the future, I have never listened to a book of hers that I didn't fall in love with. Amazing job! Holiday Gift I cant say enough about one of my favorite authors except that I am never disappointed when I pick up something written by her and its even better when narrated by Nicole Poole. I never read Christmas or Holiday stories during The Season, basically because Im usually overwhelmed by everything Holiday related. This story is an exception. It was fantastic to see where some of my favorite characters were at in their personal lives. Since the Mageri series and the Seven series are written on different time lines we get to go back in time. Its a special time for Logan and Silver as they receive the most precious gift of all and can share the happiness with their family. I laughed and yes, I cried. If you are a fan, there is no way you can overlook this story, its a definite MUST HAVE. Invest in Kleenex. They are happy tears, but it could get messy nonetheless. Dannika Dark & Nicole Poole, Happy Holidays to both of you and thank you for making our holiday bright & better with the release of this beautiful gem. The Oracle gives only honest reviews.

Honor forbade them. Love ensnared them. Legendary warrior Lachlan MacLeod has never encountered anything or anyone he could not conquer. But when his younger brother confesses his love for Bridgette MacLean - the only woman Lachlan has ever wanted - Lachlan turns away from the beautiful Scottish lass, vowing to be no more than her friend. Yet his need for Bridgette enslaves him and may well prove to be the one thing he cannot defeat. Fiercely independent Bridgette longs to be treated as an equal to the men. She always imagined great battles in her future, not great love. Then Lachlan saw her as no one ever had and captured her heart, awakening new cravings inside her without realizing it. But when Lachlan's younger brother suffers a grave injury while saving her life, she feels unable to deny his plea for her heart. However, it is impossible to give what belongs to another. Torn between their own desire and their loyalties, Bridgette and Lachlan must find the courage to grasp the passion awaiting them and face the pain their choice will cause. Yet even as they confront their future and love finally seems within their grasp, a fight for the Scottish throne divides the Highland clans and Bridgette becomes a pawn in a political game that threatens to tear her and Lachlan apart forever. Members Reviews: Warning It was a brilliant book until the lead woman is raped. I wished there was a warning on this book. Rape If you don't mind a woman being raped and the emotional stress caused by the rape, then this is the book for you. I, personally, don't purchase a book to have to experience that through the heroine in the book. I like to be entertained and THIS was not entertaining. Wonderfully written It's always a tough read when a story addresses brutal acts against women and children. This story is no different. I felt raw emotion as I listened and at times had to stop to collect myself. But it was worth it in the end. It speaks well of the writer when you can feel that much emotion. Bonny book Have loved this series by Julie & Tims narration fantastic as always. It brings together strong men & women who battle to find their HEA through the beautiful sometimes harsh wilds of a long ago age in Scotland. Very Good Story The violence was a little ruff for my taste, but still a really exciting read!

A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams. But Fiona's life is shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal man take from her nearly everything - and everyone - she holds dear. Fearing her own death, she is forced to flee London for New York. There, her indomitable spirit propels her rise from a modest West Side shop-front to the top of Manhattan's tea trade. But Fiona's old ghosts do not rest quietly, and to silence them, she must venture back to the London of her childhood, where a deadly confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future. Members Reviews: I LOVED THIS BOOK This was my first Jennifer Donnelly book and I absolutely loved everything about this book. The story was so gripping (I couldn't stop listening to it.) and the narrator was GREAT. Well worth a credit!!! Wow. Wow wow wow! What did you love best about The Tea Rose? The book was well written and well read. I knew nothing about it and took a risk getting it. I'm always a little scared when spending my credits, though with the guarantee its now a much more comfortable feeling and less risk. I hated taking a chance of getting stuck with a book I didnt like!! This book far exceeded my expectations, What about Jill Tanners performance did you like? This is my first Jill Tanner book, and I have to admit that at first I was instantly in dislike. Her voice is a bit rough, kind of like a smoker maybe, and thus far I've listened to very smooth voices. As story went in, however, I became accustomed to, and appreciative of her. She did great voice changes and it was easy to follow who was who. Her voice is in just the right range where the inflections genuinely vary between a natural sounding mans voice or a natural sounding womans voice. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I was surprised at how much I was able to "feel" in this book. I actually cried a few times, both happy and sad cries. It was easy to be excited, happy, scared, anger, as well as a myriad of other emotions. I was really surprised by that. Every time I cried I was like "Seriously!?". The storyline with Nicholas was really touching in so many ways. I loved his character, I loved his and Fionas relationship, and I loved... Well I cant say anything else without it being a spoiler. Any additional comments? This book is different than those that I frequent in that instead of the characters being rich London Ton, they were the very poor in the bowels of the city. Getting used to a new narrator and a new kind of story was challenging at first, but only for a few chapters. Loved this book SO much and am now currently listening to the second one in the series, The Winter Rose. (Alternating between Into The Wilderness series and this one so as to make them both last) In some of the reviews I read, people complained about the Jack the Ripper storyline.

Love Remains Audiobook by Sarah M. Eden

Eden Narrator: Nancy Peterson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-17 Publisher: SMEDEN Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: From Sarah M. Eden, the USA Today best-selling author of the Longing for Home series, Love Remains is a new romance novel set in the beloved world of Hope Springs. For nearly a year, Tavish O'Connor has carried the crushing weight of his family's future on his shoulders. He has taken on the care of his youngest brother, Finbarr, who lost his eyesight in a terrible accident. But the lad needs more than Tavish can provide. Finbarr needs hope. Cecily Attwater specializes in hope. As a tutor to the newly blind, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome the obstacles she herself has conquered. Her new assignment in a remote corner of Wyoming proves trickier than usual: Finbarr refuses to learn. To make matters worse, his family - and the other Irish townspeople - are less than thrilled to discover an Englishwoman in their haven. Cecily's only hope lies in securing the cooperation of her pupil's brother, Tavish, who happens to be her harshest critic and quite possibly the most frustrating man she's ever known. For Finbarr's sake, Tavish and Cecily forge an uneasy alliance that, as the weeks pass, tiptoes toward something deeper than either dares admit or face, and toward a future they know to be impossible. There can be no hope of a happy outcome for an Irish man and an English woman amongst a people reeling from violence and centuries of hatred between their two homelands. Members Reviews: Wow! One of the sweetest stories I've ever heard! So beautifully written. Awesome sense of humor. Challenge, heartache, dreams, character, courage and laughter so beautifully intertwined. Highly recommend! The narrator is amazing! How she manages to bring to life so many characters in such a distinct, flawless way I'll never know! Great narration This story continues the journey of Longing For Home. There's so much healing in this book. The narrator does a fabulous job using the 4 required accents, and even gives the characters distinction inside of the accents. She's quite talented! great story! The narration is icing on the top! Sarah M Eden writes such wonderful books. I loved listening to this book. The narrator does a great job with the various accents and with each character. This can definitely be read as a stand alone book. It makes me want to go back and read Hope Springs again Wonderful to the last page! This book did NOT disappoint! I loved Tavish from the very beginning of the Hope Springs series and I'm so happy he got his own story. Cecily is such a strong character yet human and relatable. I could listen to this story over and over again! sigh. .. really loved the narrator and loved the story! both do a FANTASTIC job of weaving a beautiful story. I always love Sarah m Eden' s books- and love the narrator as well.

Only weeks prior to her second season, Harriett encounters Lieutenant Christopher Jamison while visiting Tanglewood Manor. Recently returned from war, the lieutenant is everything that Harriett's previous suitors were not. He's arrogant, ungentlemanly, irritating, and challenges her at every opportunity.

But as she sets out to put the lieutenant in his place once and for all, she discovers there is more to him than meets the eye, and when it comes to matters of the heart, she has no control whatsoever. Members Reviews: Intoxicating love story Adorable and very well developed characters and believable storyline. I never like the second and third books as much as the first however this is one situation where I adore the third better than even the first two books in a series. The love development was beautifully done although no passionate scenes were courtesied in. Hate to finish the book but alas all good things must come to an end. Would have loved the light clever banter to continue between the hero and heroine. Conversations between the two were hilarious. So much so that I laughed out loud throughout the book. Do NOT hesitate to purchase. Humorous and Heartwarming This is the perfect example of why I listen to audio books! I want to be uplifted from the pressures of life, reminded of spiritual values, laugh some and be delighted with the happy ending! Thank you so much Rachael Anderson. The narration was perfect! Helen Taylor. I will listen to this book again. The Pursuit of Lady Harriett. What a fun read. Loved the characters and the unfolding of the story. Thank you for this wonderful book. Write many more please!!!! Totally enjoyable! Sweet, funny, and just what I hope to get out of a romance. I enjoyed their banter very much. great - I liked it as much as Georgette Heyer funny story, I liked the spirited main character, Lady harriett. really well done the other 2 books of the tanglewood series are also Good. this is the most sparkling one. and all 3 have no steamy scenes, what a relief.

Not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened.... Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title - only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife" - certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband"... and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts! Members Reviews: Entertaining! I'm with the majority on this book....I thought it was funny and entertaining. It was romantic with just enough silly humor to keep me smiling. It is a good escape when you need some silly in your life. I realize everyone has a different sense of humor but if you enjoy silly romantic fun then you will enjoy this! If you enjoy only serious romances all the time then you probably need a good laugh. Try laughing sometime its good for you!! Laugh out Loud Funny Romance Would you listen to The Countess again? Why? Yes, I will almost certainly be listening to this one again. It is so funny and entertaining. When I sought out this book it was just the perfect comedic touch I needed on a rough day. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Get your daily dose of laughs. The Countess most enjoyable Would you listen to The Countess again? Why? Probably. Very entertaining. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Countess? When Richard showed up at the ball. Which scene was your favorite? Love scene with Dickie's body in the bed. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? At first, the narrator was a bit of a distraction with a strong accent, but I changed my mind and found her to be a delightful reader. I enjoyed her very much....she was especially great with her change of voice for each character. Any additional comments? Some parts I found quite "steamy". Loved it. Kept my mind off of my everyday worries. Loved it I guess humor like many things is all relative. I thought this book was hilarious, verging on slapstick. I could just imagine the shenanigans in my mind. It is farfetched and silly, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you take everything literally, maybe this isn???t your cup of tea, but if you want escapism and some laughs this is it. Screwball comedy will make you laugh out loud! What other book might you compare The Countess to and why? So far, The Countess has no comparison. I did not expect a historical romance to be so laugh-out-loud funny. I have never had that experience before. I hope to find other books like it. What about Sarah Coomess performance did you like? Sarah Coomes is like the William Shatner of historical romance narration. Her pacing tends to the over-dramatic, with oddly-timed, suspenseful pauses in her phrasing. She was perfect for this book! So much of the humor was in the delivery, and Sarah Coomes was spot on. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed so many times, which was wholly unexpected.

White, give us more! Most Excellent!!! There are not words enough to express how much I loved this book. I loved Willa! A strong woman with a moral code, even though she was a thief. I loved her gift of music, I could almost hear it as she played. I also loved how she captured the heart of "rake" Lukas De Wilde. The dialogue between them is brilliant! Margot is a wonderful character too. I loved the family, not by blood but still family. Roseanna M. White has written a wonderful story filled with intriguing characters, some suspense, danger, and a bit of love. I recommend this book as well as A Name Unknown. The narrator is fantastic! I can't wait for more!

Title: The Forbidden Duke Subtitle: The Untouchables, Book 1 Author: Darcy Burke Narrator: Marian Hussey Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Darcy E Burke Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 174 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn't be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation. Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters society just once each year at his stepmother's ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart - and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she's back, and she needs his help. But by saving her, he may just ruin her life all over again. Members Reviews: Awesome read and Awesome narration.. The only book Darcy Burke has on Audible and I certainly hope its not the last. This was such a good book. Its about Nora, who was ruined nine years ago when she was caught in the embrace of Lord Haywood, and Lord Haywood was encouraged by Lord Titus St John, who became the Duke of Kendal, to act that rakishly. Titus gave up his rakish ways when his father died but never really got over the guilt he felt over Noras ruination. Nora became Tituss stepmothers companion, and thats where the fun started. There was no insta-love. The love came about throughout the book. It was just so romantic. There was no stalker, no mystery, no suspense, no murder, BUT it was a really great story. AND it was only 156 pages. AND I dont feel like I missed a thing. I was told about the beauty of the ballrooms, the colors of the beautiful gowns and what the gentlemen were wearing, without being bogged down with pages and pages of description. AND, which I LOVE, because I'm shallow, Nora was beautiful and Titus was gorgeous. My kind of hero and heroine. There was desire in this story and one awesome sex scene. A romantic sex scene NOT erotic or vulgar. AS to the narrator: Marian Hussey did an excellent job on all the voices and she read with wonderful emotions. I hope to see more of Darcy Burke's books on audible very soon. Great Love Story! In her second season naive Eleanor Lockhart was caught kissing a charming rake who had promised her marriage, but ran out on her. She was sent home in disgrace. Although living with her father is a lonely existence Eleanor thought she would be able to live out her life in spinsterhood on a small stripend from her father. But it was not to be. Her father lost his money on a business deal, and the only home she had ever known. Her father was moving into a small cottage on his sisters farm with no room for her. There was no money for Eleanor. She finds herself homeless, broke, and with no place to go. Fortunately she becomes a paid companion to a Duchess and soon becomes her ward. The Duchess takes delight in giving Eleanor a London season, and with the help of her son, the one they call the "Forbidden Duke", Eleanor becomes accepted back into the Ton.

Five years later, now widowed and deeply in debt, she's certain that the stranger who bought her last husband's notes of credit will demand swift, steep repayment. But she never imagines her creditor will be Brock Taylor, her baseborn former stable-hand turned newly wealthy entrepreneur - the man who stole her virginity and her heart. She's even more stunned when he says that he'll forgive her debts only if she becomes his wife. Brock's memories of their parting are no less bitter than Maddie's, and his plans for their future are hardly a rekindling of their blissful first love. But seeing Maddie again - just as spirited, strong, and beautiful as ever - reawakens a desire he thought long dead. When she refuses his proposal, they strike a dangerous wager, with Brock's self-made fortune and Maddie's treasured independence at stake. It's a wager only one of them can win - as long as they resist the other's passionate seduction...and falling in love again. Contains mature themes.

Accomplished neurosurgeon Beatrice Trovato knows that her deep empathy for her patients is starting to impede her work. So when her beloved brother passes away, she welcomes the unexpected trip to the Tuscan city of Siena to resolve his estate, even as she wrestles with grief. But as she delves deeper into her brother's affairs, she discovers intrigue she never imagined - a 700-year-old conspiracy to decimate the city. After uncovering the journal and paintings of Gabriele Accorsi, the 14th-century artist at the heart of the plot, Beatrice finds a startling image of her own face and is suddenly transported to the year 1347. She awakens in a Siena unfamiliar to her, one that will soon be hit by the Plague. Yet when Beatrice meets Accorsi, something unexpected happens: She falls in love - not only with Gabriele but also with the beauty and cadence of medieval life.

Critic Reviews: "Will remind historical fiction readers of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring.... Lovers of meticulously researched historical fiction and time-travel narratives will be swept away by the spell of medieval Siena." ( Library Journal) "Cassandra Campbell's performance transports listeners to medieval Italy... Campbell's narration is an engrossing complement to the story, helping the listener to vividly imagine life as it was in that long-ago time." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: I hope this is the first in a series! I absolutely loved this book and found it hard to believe it was a first novel. If you enjoy time travel, Italian Renaissance, history, art, medicine and romance all mixed together it will not disappoint. The narration by the talented Cassandra Cambell was perfect and the writing drew me in from the first few minutes. The character development was good, the story moved along well and the ending was not really an ending. I am sure this is the first in a series. If you liked Outlander you will enjoy this. Great read!! I loved this book, I felt like there's more to the story but wasn't quite sure! Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part because I loved how the story made me feel like I was back in fourteenth century Italy.

All London is at Julia Wentworths feet and anything she desires is hers for the asking. But the glamorous leading lady guards a shocking secret: a mystery husband whom she does not know, dares not mention... and cannot love. For years Damon Savage has been searching for the stranger his parents wed him to without his consent, hoping to legally free himself from matrimonys invisible chains. And he is astonished to discover his bride is none other than the exquisite lady hed hoped to make his mistress! But though his wife by law, Julia will never truly be Damons until he conquers her fears, his formidable rivals... and her proud, passionate, and independent heart. Members Reviews: Moving "Somewhere I'll Find You" is a well written story about an arranged marriage between a Duke's heir and an extremely wealthy family's daughter. Julia's father wants a titled husband for her, and the Duke needs money to cover his gambling debts, and restore the family finances. The catch--Damon is 7 years old and Julia is 4 years old when the marriage takes place. Lord Damon and Lady Julia know they are married, but have never met since they were children. The arranged marriage ruined both their lives. Neither are free to marry another, have children, nor lead a normal life. Julia rebels and runs away to become an actress and Lord Damon searches for her for years without success, wanting to right the wrong committed by their parents when they were children. Having taken over the finances of the Dukedom, using the money received from Julia's father, Lord Damon makes wise investments and becomes one of the foremost wealthiest men. He wants to get an annulment, see that the "bride" money is returned to Julia, so they can get on with their lives. Busy taking care of the family Damon has not had time for fun in his life, but one night he walks down to the village during May Day; an ancient public spring festival with dancing, singing. He sees a pretty girl and on impulse asks her to dance learning she is a actress in a little known theatre, but names are not exchanged. He kisses her and leaves, but doesn't forget her. Years later he meets her again, without recognition. She has changed her name and is a well known actress. The attraction is still there. At a party to raise funds for the theatre she meets Lord Damon, and recognizes the name as her husband, but he has no idea who she is. It's a moving story that any lover of Historical Romance should find entertaining, I certainly did. Rosalyn Landor gave a perfect performance. Kleypas and Landor are an unbeatable combination for our listening pleasure. Well worth a credit. Fantastic!!! This is one of my favorites from Kleypas. I enjoy the steady incline of the plot and the intricacies of each character, but my favorite is how she closes her novels. The epilogue leaves the reader with true closure and a warm heart. More than anything I enjoyed the narrator. Rosalyn Landor is by far the best. I don't know how she does it, but the male characters sound rough, masculine, and sensual, while the female characters are delicate and beautiful. This is a must read!!! I'm glad I found it... A story by Lisa Kleypas and narrated by Rosalyn Landor is an automatic buy for me. All the stories are good, interesting and romantic.

And yet, in the summer of 1900, East London is still poor, still brutal, still a shadow city to its western twin. Among the reformers is an idealistic young woman named India Selwyn-Jones, recently graduated from medical school. With the help of her influential fiance - Freddie Lytton, an up-and-coming Liberal MP - she works to shut down the area's opium dens that destroy both body and soul. Her selfless activities better her patients' lives and bring her immense gratification, but unfortunately, they also bring her into direct conflict with East London's ruling crime lord - Sid Malone. India is not good for business and at first, Malone wants her out. But against all odds, India and Sid fall in love. Different in nearly every way, they share one thing in common - they're both wounded souls. Their love is impossible and they know it, yet they cling to it desperately. Lytton, India's fiance, will stop at nothing to marry India and gain her family's fortune. Fractious criminal underlings and rivals conspire against Sid. When Sid is finally betrayed by one of his own, he must flee London to save his life. Mistakenly thinking him dead, India, pregnant and desperate, marries Freddie to provide a father for hers and Sid's child. India and Sid must each make a terrible sacrifice - a sacrifice that will change them both forever. One that will lead them to other lives, and other places... and perhaps - one distant, bittersweet day - back to each other. Members Reviews: The Winter Rose Which character as performed by Jill Tanner was your favorite? Jill Tanner did an outstanding narration with all the characters. Any additional comments? The Winter Rose is my favorite of The Rose Trilogy. I love Sid and India. You know the age old question, If you were stuck on a desert island, what book would you choose? I would hope I could choose 3, The Rose Trilogy. In all seriousness, these are wonderful stories, Im an avid reader and I read these books when I just want to escape for a week or two. I now have the trilogy in audio and it was wonderful having it read to me. As good as its predecessor Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. I first read its predecessor, The Tea Rose, just by perusing through Audible. It took me a bit to get used to it, (you can read my review about it if you want. I dont want to repeat it all again here.), but it didn't take long and I was thoroughly enjoying it. This book, I was more aware of what to expect with storyline and took to it right away. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. What did you like best about this story? I loved the storyline first of all. I cant say too much without giving it away but I loved the surprise in certain characters personalities. I enjoyed getting to know characters and at one point I was even brought to tears. It was easy to connect to the characters. I appreciated having Joe and Fiona a large presence in the book so it wasnt like they just disappeared. I also liked having Seamus and seeing where the next book will go. This was really a "middle" book. Some of the last story, lots of this story, and some of the next story. I'm so disappointed that the book is over.

With her parents' marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Looking to eschew the trappings of her old life, she leaves London to teach at the Bath orphanage where her newly discovered half sister lived. But even as she settles in, she must sit for a portrait commissioned by her grandmother and endure an artist who riles her every nerve. An art teacher at the orphanage that was once his home, Joel Cunningham has been hired to paint the portrait of the haughty new teacher. But as Camille poses for Joel, their mutual contempt soon turns to desire. And it is only the bond between them that will allow them to weather the rough storm that lies ahead. Members Reviews: Loved it Can't Wait to see which character is the main focus in the next book. This one was great. Amazing Would you consider the audio edition of Someone to Hold to be better than the print version? Only have the audio Who was your favorite character and why? Camille her transformation from a shattered brittle person to a resourceful full loving woman was beautiful to watch Which scene was your favorite? The wedding scene at the end had me in tears something I as a veteran of romance reader rarely do anymore. I found the early awareness scenes between Camille and Joel really intriguing. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I love how Camille and the little girl she decides to adopt was done...it would have been very easy for the orphans to be left as background characters but i loved how they gave the unlikable girl love. Enjoyable I will start by saying that I did not think I could like Camille. She was cold, haughty and more than a little aloof. I agree with some of the other reviewers that her path to self discovery was a bit weird. Nevertheless, I like the way Ms. Balogh helped the reader understand the hurt and the pain beneath all that steel. I don't agree that one could not see the love Joel had for her. I think it was subtle but definitely there. One must allow for some embellishments... yes it is not likely that an orphan would become instantly wealthy BUT it is a romance and fiction. As usual Rosalyn Landon's narration was excellent. Her voice is just right for MB's stories. Lovely Absolutely delightful story. Sad, happy, loving and all the emotions for a very warm story. Camille is spot on Mary Balogh knows how to develop true-to-life characters. For all her flaws, Camille resonates with me. Her motivations so clearly drive her actions and I feel for her as she attempts to earn love by being perfect, while not seeing that shes surrounded by it. The story gives me hope that I too can accept the love Im surrounded by.

Why would a woman marry a serial killer? Because she cannot refuse. Kateryn Parr, a 30-year-old widow in a secret affair with a new lover, has no choice when a man old enough to be her father who has buried four wives - King Henry VIII - commands her to marry him. Kateryn has no doubt about the danger she faces: the previous queen lasted 16 months, the one before barely half a year. But Henry adores his new bride, and Kateryn's trust in him grows as she unites the royal family, creates a radical study circle at the heart of the court, and rules the kingdom as regent. But is this enough to keep her safe? A leader of religious reform and the first woman to publish in English, Kateryn stands out as an independent woman with a mind of her own. But she cannot save the Protestants, under threat for their faith, and Henry's dangerous gaze turns on her. The traditional churchmen and rivals for power accuse her of heresy - the punishment is death by fire, and the king's name is on the warrant. From an author who has described all of Henry's queens comes a deeply intimate portrayal of the last: a woman who longed for passion, power, and education at the court of a medieval killer. Members Reviews: You'd better like repetition Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would - with a caveat about the repetition! I know this sounds lame, but I just wasn't paying attention and I thought I was buying one of Margaret George's books. It's not a terrible book, but at some points I was yelling at my speakers, "WE GET IT ALREADY!" This is an author that really knows how to hammer home a point...and hammer it and hammer it and hammer it. What does Bianca Amato bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator is Brilliant! I will seek her out with other books. The Taming of the Queen I am not sure how the author managed to give Catherine Parr such a bland personality. It is just as likely that she was a strong woman who knew exactly what she was doing, and did it very well. At thirty she had managed estates which takes at least basic accounting skills to deal with stewards etc, she could read and write sophisticated English, and was well trained in Latin even before she was crowned. But instead of a strong, smart, woman with shrewd political skills we get someone who goes from pathetically forced to marry an old man, to someone who becomes proactive out of family pressure and fear. Granted not being afraid in this Tudor court would be truly stupid. But I expect Catherine Parr was smart enough to use awareness of danger to outwit anyone who chose to challenge her position. The best part of the book is the advice she got from her family and advisors, which gives the readers some insights into King Henry's court, but this could have done without the main character saying in effect "no really"? The historical research behind the book is great. Its a shame Catherine Parr is portrayed as a bland woman blown this way and that by the pressures of those around her. She didn't even get her crowned name, but something of a nickname throughout the whole story. Disappointed.

He was out for revenge. Laird Robert Sinclair will stop at nothing to exact revenge on Lord Raef Warren, the English scoundrel who brought war to his doorstep and razed his lands and people. Leaving his clan in the Highlands to conduct covert attacks in the Borderlands, Robert lives to be a thorn in Warren's side. So when he finds a beautiful English lass on her way to marry Warren, he whisks her away to the Highlands with a plan to ransom her back to her dastardly fiancé. She would not be controlled. Lady Alwin Hewett had no idea when she left her father's manor to marry a man she'd never met that she would instead be kidnapped by a Highland rogue out for vengeance. But she refuses to be a pawn in any man's game. So when she learns that Robert has had them secretly wed, she will stop at nothing to regain her freedom. But her heart may have other plans.... This full-length Scottish historical romance is part of the Sinclair Brothers trilogy, but also can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. Pick up your copy today! Members Reviews: Frustratingly repetitive I purchased this book after looking around for a new Highlands romance series. I barely finished it. This was one of the most repetitive books I've ever read. The author spends a fair amount of time on her characters' internal musings. This doesn't typically bother me. I understand the point of character building. But good grief, one should not devote so much time to these musings if the characters NEVER have any new thoughts. By the middle of the book, I started skipping large sections in favor of reading dialogue (with a hope that it would at least move the story forward). By the end I began quizzing myself to see if could I predict the exact content of the next paragraph devoted to soliloquy. For example: Oh, here we go again. The heroine claims that she and the hero have passion. But that's not all! I bet she...respects him! CHECK. And he...respects her! CHECK! (Seriously, this exact paragraph occurred at least three times in the latter half of the novel). If the author removed the repetitive paragraphs (and a good editor definitely would have), the novel would shrink by 25 to 30%. And, as a petty aside, can we talk for a second about the hero's obsession with the smell of the heroine's hair? Let's be real. If you spent a week riding on a horse, sleeping next to campfires, surrounded by grown men who hadn't bathed for nearly two weeks, and not bathing yourself (beyond your face and hands) the entire time, YOUR HAIR WOULD NOT SMELL LIKE ROSES. But the hero tells us that hers does. Repeatedly. I was immensely disappointed with this novel and frustrated by the author's insistence on pushing me out of the story with her unnecessary, repetitive, and wordy filler. Needless to say, I will not be reading anymore of her work, and I wouldn't recommend her to others either. What a Prize Very good start to this series. Laird Robert Sinclair and English Lady Alwin Hewitt have great chemistry. She is just a pawn so her father can form an alliance with another English Lord, who happens to be Laird Sinclair's enemy. On one of Robert's patrol they engage in a confrontation with the English.

Arabella Audiobook by Georgette Heyer

Title: Arabella Author: Georgette Heyer Narrator: Phyllida Nash Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-14 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 897 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Perhaps the most deeply cherished novel among Heyer fans, Arabella is the story of a poor girl who captures the heart of a handsome and wealthy bachelor. When Arabella first arrives in London, she has only one mission: to snare a rich husband. With a mind to beat the competition, she pretends to be a rich heiress and soon finds herself the talk of the town, pursued by the most eligible bachelors in the city. But she has her sights on one man only: the much-hunted Mr Beaumaris. Our feisty heroine puts up a fight and deals the worldly-wise Beaumaris a deft hand in the game of love; at first grudgingly charmed, he soon becomes smitten. However, what will he think of her deceitful charade? Will it ruin her chance to be with the perfect man? Arabella contains some of Heyer's most witty dialogue and romantic banter; with its delightful and laugh-out-loud passages it is no wonder it remains the fan favorite. Members Reviews: Don't Believe the Synopsis Maggie's review on Audible UK summed it up perfectly: "Gold stars all round for finally recording Arabella, unabridged, and by Phyllida Nash. Points off for whoever wrote the bland 'publisher's summary' that manages to make the book sound like the diary of a gold-digger." The synopsis of this book (as of 10/14) has every aspect of this charming story wrong. Anyone who reads the first chapter will know that Arabella is certainly *not* a gold-digger. And the amusing misunderstanding-leading-to-deception that drives the plot is far more the work of Beaumaris than of Arabella. I would say it is with the 1949 publication of "Arabella" that Georgette Heyer completely took possession of the Regency romance in a way that defines the genre to this day. "The Grand Sophy," perhaps her most famous work, followed in 1950, with another 15 years of wonderful books before the stories (in my opinion) began to slide in the late '60s. There is some similarity between the plot and characters of "Arabella" and those of the later "Sylvester," but Arabella is unique. The scenes where Arabella quite innocently foists a mongrel dog (to say nothing of the chimney sweep's "climbing boy") into the care of the suave and "dandy" Beaumaris are priceless. Her father and mother, though relatively minor characters, are wonderful. For fans of Heyer, this one is not to be missed. These Naxos editions continue to eat my credits for lunch, but I'm not complaining. Fun. Endearing Well worth the credit Will likely listen to again One of Heyer's best ones. Not Austen but closest author I can find. Performance/reading is lively and does justice to the book Delightful ! If you could sum up Arabella in three words, what would they be? Engaging, witty and fun. What other book might you compare Arabella to and why? The Nonsuch also by Heyer. Poor girl, rich boy. Different plot but the same kind of engaging characters. What does Phyllida Nash bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Listening to this book is a marvelous experience - one you cannot get by just reading it. Ms Nash is one of the best narrators for Heyer's books. She does men voices flawlessly and her mature women voices are also great; however, she made Arabella sound older than her 19 years, consequently, the image of the innocent debutant was hard to take for me.

She falls for him quickly but, after a spell sends them back in time to the 17th century, Grace is forced to accept the truth about him. Will their love for one another be enough to make her stay in a time so different from her own? Or will she sacrifice a future with the man she loves to give her son a life of normalcy? In the end, the decision may not be hers to make. For Jeffrey, life in the 17th century isn't the thrilling change of pace he'd hoped. With women so different from himself, his chance of finding a woman is small. If only Morna could work her magic for him like she has done for others. Kathleen's life is changing. With enough money now saved to fulfill her dream of restoring the castle she inherited, her job as housemaid is ending. All she wants now is to get to Scotland. Little does she know that a move isn't the only change life has in store. Jane has many dreams, but living in the 17th century isn't one of them. Castle life doesn't suit her, so she takes work at the village inn to fill her time. One frigid evening, she takes in the most infuriating man, never suspecting that he could be the one her soul hungers for. Adwen doesn't want to be laird. He wants to spend his days as a penniless wanderer not take on the responsibilities handed to him by his father. On his last night of freedom, he stops at the inn and meets the only lass to ever deny his advances, bewitching him in an instant. He realizes responsibility might not be a life spent in chains if he has a fiery lass like Jane by his side. Gillian dreams of the same man every night, but when she starts to hear his voice in the winds around Cagair Castle, she can't help but wonder if he's more than a figment of her imagination. Members Reviews: Missing Chapter 28 I fell in love with this series quickly. The storyline is great & I appreciate that each story possesses its own plot. The only frustrating thing about this set is that it is missing chapter 28. It goes from chapter 27 to chapter 18 & then moves on to chapter 29. The worst part is that it's obvious something important happens in chapter 28, but you don't know the details. Please fix this! Otherwise, this is a great series! A great sequel of stories to the first set. Loved the stories and characters. There were refreshing surprises. Lily also does a great job with voices. My only complaint is that one chapter is repeated and I got a sense that in its place, I missed what was supposed to be there. Hopefully an easy fix for audible. Classic- taking of a good thing and ruining it! This is NOT to be compared to Outlander. The ONLY COMPARISON is Time Travel... alright ... 2 things... & Scotland.. I have rolled my eyes and yawned at the ridiculousness of this book. Shaking my head with the UNNECESSARY addition of MORE LASSIES tramping through time to the 16th century to find a husband.... Come on..... You had a great list of characters to explore and develop - Wow... where is this portal that you can come and go...with no ill effects... bring your dog, all your possessions....

Title: The Deed Author: Lynsay Sands Narrator: Chloe Lynn Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Before her Argeneau vampire family paranormal romance novels made her a New York Times best-selling superstar, Lynsay Sands did The Deed. Lynsay's witty, sexy, utterly fantastic debut romance transports the listener back to Medieval England to witness the outrageous trials and temptations of a good wife whose husband unfortunately dies before he can do...The Deed. The lady, left shockingly unprepared, finds herself promised to a handsome, landless knight, and misunderstandings, missteps, and (of course) passion ensue. The first of her more than 30 historical romance novels and anthologies known for their wonderfully humorous edge, The Deed is a delightful treat for confirmed Sands fans as well as for listeners who appreciate the early novels of Julie Garwood. Members Reviews: cute love story This was such a cute love story. There was adventure, humor and romance. Lady Emma was so funny, I love how sweat and naive she is. funny loved it always enjoyable story both audio and read. Heroine funny with her innocence. strong character. strong hero to match her love for others. Another Good Book by LS 4.5 Stars I wondered what the Deed was about. So, if you want to have a good time, read/listen to Lynsay Sands books. Her characters are strong in their own way, just listen. The humor, the danger and the love in her books holds your attention. You don't want to stop listening. Chloe Lynn was very good. Weakest in the series This is the first but the weakest in the series, to much blood sheed and way to little humour. I liked The Key best in this series, even though you had to make a concious decision to suspend all disbelief to enjoy the humour. Thinking about it, this instalment does aks for suspending of disbelief too, unfortunately the resulting humour is not quite the thing. That said a have stuck to listening to worse.

She is far too young and inexperienced, yet there is something about her that that inspires a certain hope within him. Does he dare offer her the position of housekeeper or will doing so result in catastrophe? Members Reviews: I can't remember laughing so much Not a comedy. Just very funny scenes. LOVED the book. I will read any other books available now or in the future. Great writing and narration. I always like to walk away from anything I spend so much time for as a learning experience. The heroine's personality is wonderful and someone I would love to be like. Lovely story. A delightfully clean and humorous tale of romance Thoroughly enjoyed this humorous tale of romance, kept me in anticipation until the end!! Delightful! Wonderfully narrated as well, can't wait to listen to the next one in the series. Loved every minute of it! Just like The Fall Of Lord Drayston, this was an excellent and delightfully funny book! I can hardly wait for Book 3 to become available! Some nice twists WHAT IT'S ABOUT When Miss Coralynn Notleys father barters her off to the first titled gentleman to come along, she realizes she must flee her home or be forced to wed a despicable man. Driven by desperation, she applies for the position of housekeeper at Tanglewood Manor, the home of the handsome Mr. Jonathan Ludlow. The moment Jonathan sees Miss Notley, he is intrigued. She is far too young and inexperienced, yet there is something about her that that inspires a certain hope within him. Does he dare offer her the position of housekeeper or will doing so result in catastrophe? MY TAKE Once again, Helen Taylor did a fabulous job narrating this story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It did stretch things a bit that Ludlow was willing to hire a woman who admitted to having no experience at housekeeping and then proved that she didn't, but I was still able to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the story. And I loved the characters. Some nice twists as well, which is also good. 4 1/2 stars fun read it seems a bit unrealistic and unlikely and the dialogue seems a bit silly, but overall it was a fun, enjoyable, clean, easy read. the characters were funny and nice. performance was good too

Her plan is to travel to India instead - if only to find peace for her restless spirit and to escape the family she abhors. But Kates meddlesome mother has other plans. She makes a bargain with Kate: India, yes, but only after Kate has secured - and rejected - three marriage proposals. Kate journeys to the stately manor of Blackmoore determined to fulfill her end of the bargain sooner rather than later and enlists the help of her dearest childhood friend, Henry Delafield. But when it comes to matters of love, bargains are meaningless and plans are changeable. There on the wild lands of Blackmoore, Kate must face the truth that has kept her heart captive. Will the proposal she is determined to reject actually be the one thing that will set her heart free? Set in Northern England in 1820, Blackmoore is a regency romance that tells the story of a young woman struggling to learn how to follow her heart. Critic Reviews: "Riveting and evocative... Readers will be absolutely captivated by the beautiful imagery, sizzling tension..., and mesmerizing plot." (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Members Reviews: EXQUISITE! I hardly know where to begin with this one.....it was exquisite! What a delightful listen.....I was sucked in from the beginning and couldn't put it down. This book is a beautifully written "clean" romance that is emotionally charged and is filled with honor, respect, chivalry and love. (I honestly didn't miss the sex scenes!). It's family friendly so I would feel comfortable letting a young girl also listen and enjoy. I have to give a shout out to the narrator because she did a great job. I highly recommend this to everyone! Truly a PROPER Romance What other book might you compare Blackmoore to and why? Blackmoore was a unique story. I haven't read any books like it before. Which scene was your favorite? When Henry was talking about how Kate's "heart" loved him and wanted to curl up next to him. It was so cute and adorable. I don't want to give away any details though. Any additional comments? I loved this book. Great narrator! The opening of the book says its a "Proper Romance".... And it was! There is no sex...no inappropriate activity.....it is proper and yet it totally hooked me in and I loved the progression of the love story. The story was unique and entrapped me. Maybe it was slightly slow moving compared to most books I enjoy, but it was a delightful and surprising change of pace and loved every minute. My only complaint would be I wanted more at the end. I mean I would have like to have a good long epilogue, but then that's me being selfish....maybe then it wouldn't have been so proper... ;-) Romance ! A lovely romantic story, much like a Jane Austin novel. Beautifully read by Cassandra Campbell. Proper but Angsty I'm usually not one for angst-y fiction, but I couldn't put this one down. It was kind of depressing but enthralling all at once. It helps that it was a bit of a mystery. The book follows our heroine, Kate, who has sworn off marriage and has convinced herself that her best option is to travel to India with her spinster aunt. But her mother will not consent. In a weird way, they come to an agreement that if she can secure 3 proposals that her mother will relent and let her go.

The ravishing beauty guarded the secret of her mysterious past until the night Lyon, Marquis of Lyonwood, stole a searching, sensuous kiss. An arrogant nobleman with a pirate's passions, he tasted the wildfire smoldering beneath Christina's cool charm and swore to possess her.... But the feisty and defiant Christina would not be so easily conquered. Mistress of her heart and of her fortune, she resisted Lyon's sensuous caresses. She dared not surrender to his love...for then, she must also forsake her precious secret...and her promised destiny! Members Reviews: I loved everything about this book! This book kept me captivated from beginning to end. The story wasn't your typical historical romance and I liked that......it kept it interesting. I recommend this book not only to anyone who enjoys romances but also people who like Native American stories. I heard this narrator before and I really enjoy her reading. Many people complain when she whispers and I don't understand the complaint. She only whispers when the book says "she/he whispered". How can you fault the narrator for whispering when the author wrote that in the book? Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its worth a credit (or better yet if you find it on sale like I did snatch it up quick!) Yes another 5 star rating! The first book in theCrown's Spiesseries.Susan Duerdendoes a wonderful job of narrating this one. What I liked most was the unique plot.The prologue nicely set the stage for this, as well as for Christina's character, and Jessica's journal developed this plot nicely without interfering with Lyon and Christina's romance, which was rather whirlwind and angry, but tender and joyful as well. Christina being raised by Natives and then returning to England to honour her mother's request. Christina is one amazing character, and she never leaves one feel bored. Christina made me laugh. She's proud and strong willed and Lyon loves that about her. I love it when she divorces Lyon for shaming her. I love his reaction too. But most of all I love how she has everyone so damn confused, but so convinced of her sincerity that they'll do anything she asks, no matter how ridiculous it is from their point of view. And Lyon there is no words to describe him, he is gorgeous and very very stubborn but he is definitely not the only one. The witty dialog between the couple constantly made me laugh and smile. In fact, this book caused me to laugh a lot. If you are looking for an amazing love story with lots of funny moments than I highly recommend this audiobook. Shaking my head... Any additional comments? As a real life Dakota woman, the use of my cultural background is disturbing. It might've been nice had JG did some research instead of casually flinging stereotypes on the page. Seriously, I wouldn't have minded if she had at least tried to show some effort toward authenticity. I bought this book long ago and couldn't remember hearing it. Now I know why I didn't finish it. I've read other Julie Garwood books and they were good. This one just made me a bit angry. Also, Susan Duerden's narration is truly cringe inducing. Her attempt at accents and the weird intonation she uses really irritated me. With other books she's read, I've listened at 1.25x and it was ok.

She finds an unexpected protector in the Duke of Nottingham, but will she ever be able to trust him - let alone fall in love - when his custody of the Fire Eyes jewels endangers her once more? A riveting Edwardian series set among Britain's high society, Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough - not for her father, not for the man she thought she'd marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she's willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar. Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena's father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision. Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she's reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid. Members Reviews: Just as good as book one. After listening to book one in this series and liking it I knew I had to give book two a listen. I like this series because each book is a complete story with no cliffhangers and they are clean reads. Like book one, this book has delightful characters with mystery and romance. It does have some of the same characters as book one but you definitely could start with book two of this series and you wouldn't be lost. The characters are Christians so if you don't enjoy books of faith you might want to skip this series. But I recommend this to everyone. Loved the narration! She is a delight to listen to. starts off strong and continues throughout The first book was slow and hard to follow but this second one is very good at capturing your attention and keeping it throughout the book. great book! Excellent! Narrator brilliantly brings life to this well written story! Loved the characters, the faith portrayed, and seeing the rare depth of character that caused two strangers to fight for what is right... to fight for love. Reluctant Dutchess My family could not stop listening with me. this book jerked us all around. I was not disappointed. WW2 series was much better, IMO This book had a lot of potential. I just don't care for cheap tricks like jewel theives, kidnappings, etc. If you like that sort of thing then you might enjoy this more than I did.

Except...she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her... and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking...and wondering...and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except...he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled...and when he kissed her...the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder...could this imperfect man be perfect for her? Members Reviews: WELL DONE! What did you love best about To Sir Phillip, with Love? Altho there is so much honesty in Ms Quinn's stories, I really enjoyed this one. To have a 2nd chance at life itself is awesome. To get to know ones self is better as you are facing it. A delightful book! What other book might you compare To Sir Phillip, with Love to and why? None it has it's own quality. Which character as performed by Rosalyn Landor was your favorite? Phillip Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made to me laugh & cry. There is much truth in it. Dare to see & feel it. Just ok This is probably my least favorite story. It never felt like the couple fell in love with each other let alone desired each other. The tension that a great story was lacking in the end it felt like rhe heroine just settled. Very Enjoyable! Listened in 1 day If you could sum up To Sir Phillip, with Love in three words, what would they be? Him: Tall, hunky, handsome -- Her: fiesty, beautiful, understanding What did you like best about this story? Synopsis: Sir Phillip Crane, 30 years old, has recently lost his wife of 8 years to severe, chronic depression. In those days they called it melancholy. His wife attempts suicide by drowning in a near frozen lake and dies several days later. The Crane's have disrespectful and undisciplined 7 year old twins who have been left to the care of numerous nannies and nurses. Mrs. Crane's never married cousin Eloise, age 28, starts a kind letter conversation with Sir Phillip for 1 year following the mourning of his wife, whom he did not love. Eloise shows up at his doorstep one evening, the children playing terrible pranks on her, Phillip yelling at them. The next day the only way Phillip can stop her mouth from talking incessantly is to kiss her! And the romance begins! Eloise a force to be reckoned with and just what Phillip and the children have needed so badly. This story had me chuckling at Eloise and Phillip's banter numerous times, and laughing out loud while they were having an argument in the greenhouse when "her mouth was moving and no words came out." There are 2 scenes of sex and they were pretty hot! It ends happy and satisfying, albeit a bit quick, I wanted the story to go on. Any additional comments? This is a good Austen Mr.

From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke. Critic Reviews: "Delightful and completely engrossing Heyeresque Regency debut....This beautiful love story will warm (only) the readers heart." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Nice story I enjoyed this story line. It has romance, intrigue, a bit of British humor (not Monty Python humor, more like Dame Maggie Smith humor) and even had some unexpected events. Of course there were times when I wanted to slap Mary Anne for being so daft but overall I did enjoy the story and look forward to the authors other works. Delightful Story This book is reminiscent of stories like Pride and Prejudice. Its is a sweet, elegant, and clean regency romance. This book is set in the first person which does take a while to get accustomed to but I think it adds to the intimacy of the story. Because this is a "clean" romance, the flirtation between Marianne and Philip is allowed to blossom into love beautifully. This book is filled with joy, anguish, mystery, danger, jealousy, yearning, anger and love. It is a sweet feel good romance that I will revisit again. Great book terrible narrator I ended up reading this book. I couldn't stand to listen to it. Once I stopped the audio and picked up the book, I couldn't put it down. In my opinion, don't listen to this one, but don't miss out on reading it! Clean romance Loved it! Sweet and simple! Quick read. They need to make it into a Hallmark movie! Great book for beach Enchanting Story If you could sum up Edenbrooke in three words, what would they be? I love this book! I've read it many times and decided that I would love to listen to it too. I love the performance/reader for this book. She does an outstanding job. It made me love this story even more. It's a beautiful heartwarming story! What was one of the most memorable moments of Edenbrooke? It's hard to pick just one. I enjoy the setting of the story, in the beautiful country of Edenbrooke. Marianne is so oblivious to Philip's feelings and it is wonderful to see how it all comes together. When Marianne paints the picture of Edenbrooke and Philip wants it is touching. It's a lovely story! What does Emily Elizabeth Hamilton bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She does an amazing job, I love her English voice and how it transports you back to the Victorian era in a realistic and dreamy way. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Phillip writing the love note.

I saw this book online last night and wanted to read it right away, but I couldn't bring myself to pay more for the e-book than the paperback, so I let it go. I suddenly remembered that I had an Audible audiobook trial, and downloaded this audiobook immediately. I hate audiobooks, so for me to listen for 9 hours, you know it has to be good. In spite of some anachronisms, this book is fun, entertaining, and made me smile more than a few times. The hero is fabulous. George Rokesby is all seriousness and calm to Billie's tomboyish charm. He's the Mr. Darcy of modern day romance - such a stick in the mud, but still totally dashing and completely loyal to his family and friends. Billie Bridgerton is quite the young miss. Spunky and sassy, but not annoying in the least as these types of heroines can sometimes be. If you're looking for fluffy, fun romance this is the book for you. I stayed up well into the wee hours of the morning with the Rokesbys and Bridgertons and am very much looking forward to the next book in the series. I will certainly be reading more from Julia Quinn. This review is of a book I purchased. No payment or reimbursement was given for this positive review. The Bridgertons are back Hooray! The Bridgertons are back! This time it's Billie, who will later become the aunt of the family we know so well. Now we know where those children got their, umm, spunk. Billie is feisty, brave, unafraid and totally hates her neighbor, George. We first meet them as George rescues Billie from a roof with the help of his brother. G and B spar constantly and we loyal readers know this can only end one way. And it's fun getting to the HEA. Mallet of Death indeed! This wasn't my favorite but it's Julia Quinn so it's good to start with. I thought the storyline with Arbuthnot was a bit contrived and unresolved. Maybe the author will get back to that. Because of that, I felt the ending was a bit odd. The narration was perfect as only Rosalyn Landor can do. A delight to listen to. I look forward to more of this new series. Bewildering and boring Julia Quinn is one of my top 5 authors so this was very surprisingly disappointing. I think she's trying out a new style, great, go for it, I support that. But this was boring.

Being introduced to the wealthy Oliver Ratley is an admitted delight, as is his rather heedless yet inviting proposal of marriage. Only when another of Lady Blackstone's handsome guests catches Felicity's attention does she realize that nothing is what it seems at Doverton Hall. Government agent Philip McDowell is infiltrating a group of cutthroat revolutionaries led by none other than Lady Blackstone and Ratley. Their devious plot is to overthrow the monarchy, and their unwitting pawn is Felicity. Now Philip needs Felicity's help in discovering the rebels' secrets - by asking her to maintain cover as Ratley's innocent bride-to-be. Philip is duty bound. Felicity is game. Together they're risking their lives - and gambling their hearts - to undo a traitorous conspiracy before their dangerous masquerade is exposed. Members Reviews: Why, WHY do they keep using this narrator?!? Im not even 25 minutes into this audible recording and I cant keep listening. I love Melanie Dickersons books, but whoever selects the narrator for this series needs to be fired. It is impossible to visualize a male romantic lead with the simpering, growly, unbelievable voice that she uses for the character. This probably means I wont finish the book for a long time, because I dont have time to read but I do have time to listen while I drive. I hope the author gets this feedback and can weigh in on who they choose to narrate her books. Is it a romance or action? It failed at both. The reader's voice was irritatingly high. There was such dumb romance interspersed with some unbelievable action. Ugh This narrator is AWFUL!!! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I was really excited to read this book! Until about a minute into the audio book version. I tried for a chapter to adapt to the narrator's voice and style, but it just wasn't possible. I'm sorry, but it is REALLY BAD. This is the worst narrator I have ever listened to. Once I have time to actually sit down to read a book I'll try this one again because I'm a huge fan of Melanie Dickerson's books! What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Why did I finish this?!!! Poor character development & poor plot could not be overcome even if the narration was well done. Sadly, this narrator mispronounces several words, has melodramatic, if not cartoonish voices. I wish I hadn't finished it. The best of the series After having listened to all three books I can honestly say the story and the characters in this book were fantastic. The story has a good pace and is well developed. I think the narrator did a great job on this book. On the two previous books it had taken me some time to get use to her and enjoy her performance, especially her male voices. However, this book was quite different and I thought her performance and her ability to stay in role for each character was excellent! Great Job and a good clean listen to all those who enjoy a adventurous romantic read!

Villanueva Narrator: Ivonne Coll, Anthony Mendez Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Narrated by Ivonne Coll and Anthony Mendez from TV's Jane the Virgin! It's been a lifetime (and three seasons) in the making, but Jane Gloriana Villanueva is finally ready to make her much-anticipated literary debut! Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award-winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane's telenovela-esque life - from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle. With these tumultuous events as inspiration, Jane's breathtaking first novel adapts her story for a truly epic romance that captures the hope and the heartbreak that have made the television drama so beloved. Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami - a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for the Magic City. Working at the lavish Regal Sol hotel and newly engaged to Pinkerton Detective Martin Cadden, Josephine Galena Valencia has big dreams for her future. Then, a figure from her past reemerges to change her life forever: the hotel's dapper owner, railroad tycoon Rake Solvino. The captivating robber baron sets her heart aflame once more, leading to a champagne-fueled night together. But when their indiscretion results in an unexpected complication, Josephine struggles to decide whether her heart truly belongs with heroic Martin or dashing Rake. Meanwhile, in an effort to capture an elusive crime lord terrorizing the city, Detective Cadden scours the back alleys of the Magic City, tracking the nefarious villain to the Regal Sol and discovering a surprising connection to the Solvino family. However, just when it looks like Josephine's true heart's desire is clear, danger strikes. Will her dreams for the future dissolve like so much falling snow, or might Josephine finally get the happy ever after she's been dreaming of for so long? Members Reviews: A fun twist on a Jane the Virgin Ivonne's reading is fantastic. This book was written for fans of the show. Keeping that in mind I would not recommend it as a great read, but it was fun. Abuela!!! If youre a Jane the Virgin fan, youll love this. Even if youre not Team Michael. good but um this book is good except for the people who are narrating this book not to be mean or anything with someone who doesn't sound like my grandmother should be narrating this book to me. it just feels a little bit weird hearing some of those words

When she finally meets Mr. Darcy, she outranks him. Of course, that doesn't stop him from insulting her. Married and wealthy, is she still beneath his notice? Elizabeth's high society connections create new opportunities for her sisters and, in turn, keep Darcy close to her family. When tragedy strikes, will Darcy rise to the occasion? Or will his propensity to give offense show no respect for rank? Members Reviews: Simply the best! This is certainly one of my favorites variations I had the pleasure of listening to so far! This one takes you through the life of Elizabeth, her marriage to her first husband Lord Robert Talbot--who is many years her senior and how she grew and learned about life and high society from him during the few years of their marriage. It was after his accidental death, which left Elizabeth heartbroken and planning on never to marry again. However, meeting up with Mr. Dacy, and thinking very little of him in the beginning, she comes to know him --with his persistence-- and the two end up together. Elizabeth Adams did a fabulous job with this variation and her pick of Stevie Zimmerman to narrated it was perfect! This is a must read or listen to, you will not be disappointed. This would make a great movie! Loved it! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I absolutely would recommend this book. As a Jane Austen fan, I find it hard for variations to live up to the original; however, there was nothing about this story line that I did not thoroughly enjoy. The author does a superb job of fleshing out these beloved characters, and warming up Mr. Darcy. What was one of the most memorable moments of On Equal Ground? Mr. Darcy's alcohol-induced epic fail at flirting with Elizabeth. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? . An interesting switch What would happen if Elizabeth married an Earl long before she ever met Mr Darcy? Parts f this book follow the original with the exception of Elizabeth being a countess and later a widow and now she is the one who is the better standing. This book did a great job with imagining how things could be different and also brought us inside the Elizabeth and Darcy relationship over the course of many years. It was a fun change from other P&P imagining. The narration by Stevie Zimmerman was superb - she does a great job of making all the voices sound great> TOP 3 ON MY JAFF JOURNEY !
A must Read /Listen for any JAFF READER ! DON'T YOU DARE MISS THIS STORY! THANKS AGAIN TO E. ADAMS and S. ZIMMERMAN one of the best Narrator Artists in Audio Reading Entertainment Most Definitely in the Top 3 Absolute Perfection! This Pride and Prejudice variation explores what would happen if Elizabeth outranked Darcy when they met, and all Darcy's advantages of wealth and privilege weren't a consideration. At 17, Elizabeth is traveling with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner when they meet a charming older man named Mr. Robert Talbot. After Mr. Talbot spends more time in the Gardiner's company, he confesses he's actually the Earl of Asheland, a very wealthy man with a number of estates. He's drawn to Elizabeth and makes her an offer of marriage. She accepts and grows to love him deeply.

Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home...so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed. He never expected to fall in love.... From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride...and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her. For though Annabel's not the bride he planned for, she's the only woman he desires.... Members Reviews: So Adorably Sweet! This book is such a sweet and tender Highland romance. If you enjoy Cinderella type stories then you will enjoy this one. This book was romantic, funny and because it had a bit of mystery kept my interest throughout. It's really hard not to like this book. The narrator was wonderful. She did a fantastic job with all the voices and made the listen fast and enjoyable. This one is too sweet not to give it a listen. Romance is still ALIVE I believe in Love at first sight Lynsay Sands brought that with Ross MacKay and Annabel even when they didn't know. Got to love the Scottish Laird. GOOD DEFINITELY - BUT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT I loved LS's Argeneau vampire books and I love love love a braugh sexy hunky Highlander in a kilt so I preordered this and waited with baited breath and great expectations. This book was an entertaining, enjoyable, light-hearted fun listen, that had it's moments, however it was all just a bit too 'nice' for my personal taste as I like my Highlanders broody, dark and sexy however Ross was kind, thoughtful and trusting but more of a Prince Charming type. Annabel was sweet, naive, likeable and funny as one minute she is about to be an English Nun then the next minute she's a married woman heading to her husband's castle in Scotland. There's everything you'd expect from a LS listen - a nice plot with a who, what and why question to ponder over, nice characters, nice H/H but I felt it lacked any sexual tension, awareness or build-up that results in a frantic passion filled chapter or two as desire ignites between them - infact I think this could almost have been a YA listen. The plot seemed to happily meander the listener along but it just didn't raise my blood pressure any (well, maybe that's a good thing tho').? Narrator did a great job with the many voices required of her. Worth a credit? If you're looking for a light, enjoyable, easy going listen then Yes you won't be disappointed and for most of us LS's fans it'll be an auto download anyway. Very lighthearted story- 3 1/2 stars overall Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Lynsay Sands is a talented author. I enjoy her lighthearted, humorous work. Today's world is filled with enough strife that it is good to read/listen to stories that put a smile on your face & touch your heart.

When she inherited a mysterious relic from her mother, she had no idea the dangers it would bring. Now hunted by a relentless foe who will stop at nothing to find her, she has one choice: stow away on the ship of the notorious privateer, Black Hawk. Rob Hawkins, the half-English privateer known as Black Hawk, has a mission from the Tudor king to find and kill the rogue commander, Sir Ralph Evers. To complete his quest, Hawk must find Miranda, a young woman Evers is pursuing. Caught in a tempest, he is shipwrecked with a "boy" who demonstrates an uncanny ability for saving him. Cast away on the mysterious Isle of the Dead, Hawk realizes that the "boy" traveling with him is actually Miranda MacDonnell, and having her means that Evers will come to him. What begins as a ploy - using her as bait - soon changes, however, as he falls in love with her. Ancient forces are at work, drawing the four possessors of the relic's power to the Isle of the Dead in the Outer Hebrides for a final battle where good must overcome the forces of evil in this spectacular finale to the Scottish Relic Trilogy. Members Reviews: Really excellent! Have listened to many audio books and series and this truely is one of the very best. Highly worth your time listening A very nice finish to the Scottish Relic Trilogy This was a very enjoyable end to the Scottish Relic Trilogy. I wish it was a bit longer and there was more romance between the two heroes. Over all, it tied in the other two books and characters very well! Saskia Maarleveld is a great story teller and executes flawlessly. Lovely read! All three books must be read for them to make sense. But, when you read the three books in order they are a delightful Sumner read. I'm glad I have found Ms McGoldrick. A Series That I Will Listen To Again! Where does Tempest in the Highlands rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's in the top 5 in this genre. What does Saskia Maarleveld bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She brought it to life! On my list of favorite narrators. Trilogy complete! Really enjoyed This trilogy was entertaining a lot of romance, some adventure and fantasy all with great narration.

Set on revenge, Highland warrior Graham MacLeod abducts Isobel Campbell, never anticipating his enemy's daughter would awaken an irresistible hunger in him. But when his beautiful, headstrong captive challenges his will and proves her courage and honor by willingly risking her life for his, he cannot deny the dangerous passion she stirs in him. Suddenly, his agreement to deliver Isobel to the king who wishes to use her holds little appeal. Yet, with a battle for the Scottish throne brewing, he knows the king will not relinquish the pilfered prize. To everyone else, Isobel is a pawn to be manipulated, but the more time Graham spends with her, the less he sees her as an adversary and the more she becomes the forbidden temptation he must resist. Isobel Campbell is a wanted woman, but not for who she is, only as the heiress of a castle that holds the key to power over the Scottish isles. And when she is kidnapped by her family's bitter enemy, all she wants is to return to the father she idolizes. But she soon discovers that those she considers her protectors may in fact be her biggest threats, and the brave, fierce warrior she fears may actually be the one person she can rely on. A chasm of distrust and an undeniable yearning flare between Isobel and Graham, along with the promise of unexpected love. However, in order to triumph, they must find a way to vanquish their doubts and build an alliance that can withstand the devastation of war and a king determined to sacrifice anything - and anyone - to keep his throne. Members Reviews: EXCELLENT! Fabulous story, stellar performance! This pair delivers once more the kind of medieval romance that I hope each book will be but rarely is. Read / listen to them all, in order. loved it this was an awesome book and would definitely recommend it awesome read well worth the money A wonderfully touching story. Tim Campbell has one of those voices just made for narrating. He did not disappoint with this book. I liked everything about this story. Thank you Julie Johnstone. Dissappointing Heroine What did you like best about When a Highlander Loses His Heart? What did you like least? I listened to Book 1 and 2 of this series in a matter of days. I am in love with all the characters and the enthralling plot. I couldn't wait to learn of Graham's romantic fate. I'm sorry to say though, his love interest is not very interesting. She's actually pretty dumb. As the reader, I am having a difficult time trusting her because of her poor actions and whining. After being in love with Bridget, a strong loveable character, how can he be attracted to this woman? An example of Isobel's stupidity****SPOILER ALERT****: She tries running from Graham (again), even with the enemy close behind. Then she gets captured and is surprised. Duh! Then she stabs Graham and then says, "OH You're bleeding!" Again, DUH. I understand that she has had a sheltered life, living in the convent, but still her naivety was too much. Her character is not very focused. One minute she is meek, the next overly stubborn and for really no apparent reason.

La historia de amor entre la joven Alma Velasco y el jardinero japonés Ichimei conduce al lector por un recorrido a través de diversos escenarios que van desde la Polonia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta el San Francisco de nuestros días. "A los veintidós años, sospechando que tenían el tiempo contado, Ichimei y Alma se atragantaron de amor para consumirlo entero, pero mientras más intentaban agotarlo, más imprudente era el deseo, y quien diga que todo fuego se apaga solo tarde o temprano, se equivoca: hay pasiones que son incendios hasta que las ahoga el destino de un zarpazo y aun así quedan brasas calientes listas para arder apenas se les da oxígeno." Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Opiniones de los miembros: Like the gardenia . . . Intense, eternal, beautiful, fragile. Another masterpiece by Isabel Allende. I highly recommend this novel, I just couldn't put it down! entretenido Me gustó el libro, pero me quedaron algunos cabos sueltos muy importantes. La historia es bonita, pero siento que no lleva a ninguna parte, ni la de la protagonista, ni la de los personajes secundarios. Heartbreakingly beautiful The performance did justice to a gorgeous story of human intimacy, friendship, and flaws. I am in love with this book. el libro mas hermoso que existe isabel allende nunca me deja de sorprender. este ha sido mi libro favorito de ella. Es una hermosa historia de amor y amistad. Easy to follow and keeps you engaged. No es el mejor libro de Allende pero disfruté la historia y cómo va desenmarañando la vida de los personajes pricipales.

To the amusement of her makeshift guardian, Colin, younger brother of the Marquess of Cainewood, the bold raven-haired beauty instantly captivated London society. But when Alesandra was nearly abducted by her unscrupulous countrymen, the fighting instincts that won Colin a knighthood for valor were kindled. Deceiving himself that he wanted only to protect her, Colin swept her into a union meant to be a marriage in name alone...yet Alesandra's tender first kiss and hesitant caress ignited a wildfire in his soul. As the lovely princess dashed headlong into unforeseen dangers, Colin would follow, knowing he must claim her as his own forever. Now he would risk life itself before he would lose this sweet, tempestuous angel.... Members Reviews: COLON IS A BODY PART NOT THE LEADS NAME! The narrator ruined this book. I just really wish they had kept the original narrator for the series. This narrator pronounced the male romantic characters name as colon. Really, how can you listen to a book that makes you think of colonoscopies every single time she mentions his name. It just doesnt work! HIS NAME IS COLIN!! IN not ON. I got through the book, but I just didnt enjoy it. Could not get past this narrator!! Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Heather Wilds? Julie Garwood yes but not Heather Wilds!! What could Julie Garwood have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? She should have used the same narrator as she used in previous 3 books in this series. What didnt you like about Heather Wildss performance? Nothing at all. Disappointing Ending to a Fun Series UghI usually love Julie Garwood, and while I hate to be negative, Castles, the 4th installment of the Crowns Spies series, was a real disappoint. The story of Colin, and Princess Alesandra just did not measure up to the quality of storytelling that readers have been conditioned to expect. In the first three books, Colin was a very appealing character, and I was looking forward to his story, but in Castles, he was selfish, bitter, angry, and basically unappealing. As per formula, he comes around in the end to save the day, but it was too little-too late for me. I actually hated the narration. Heather Wilds attempt to change character voices and accents was almost too painful to finish the listen. Unfortunately, the enjoyment of an audible experience is largely dependent on the quality of the narration. Skip this one. You wont miss much. THE NARRATOR IS AWFUL Is there anything you would change about this book? I liked the other 2 books in this series but could not get through this one because the narrator is terrible. she mispronounced names and the accents were all wrong. What other book might you compare Castles to and why? The Lion's Lady, Guardian Angel, and The Gift were all read by Susan Duerden and i enjoyed them. What didnt you like about Heather Wildss performance? She drolled on and there is no life in this story. If this book were a movie would you go see it? maybe Never written a review Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator sucked.... Love the series, loved this story but Omg the narrator made it horrible to get through.

Anna Snow grew up in an orphanage in Bath knowing nothing of the family she came from. Now she discovers that the late Earl of Riverdale was her father and that she has inherited his fortune. She is also overjoyed to learn she has siblings. However, they want nothing to do with her or her attempts to share her new wealth. But the new earl's guardian is interested in Anna. Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby, keeps others at a distance. Yet something prompts him to aid Anna in her transition from orphan to lady. As London society and her newfound relatives threaten to overwhelm Anna, Avery steps in to rescue her and finds himself vulnerable to feelings and desires he has hidden so well and for so long. Members Reviews: Other side of the blanket This was a well writhen rags to riches story about a orphan becoming the true heir. The narrator was perfect for the story. This was well worth the credit. I would read the next story in the series. Mary Balogh at her best This is a great new series that I know I will thoroughly enjoy. Great first book in the tale of the Westcotts. Ms. Austen (Balogh) delivers 5+ again Rosalyn Landor reads brilliantly Mary Balogh's newest classic story. Ms. Balogh is undeniably modern day Jane Austen and again delights us readers with her latest regency romance. The love story develops deliciously slow, the hero is mysterious, the heroine "original", and the lovers learn what is lasting love vs. romantic love in the process. It is interesting that Ms. Balogh chose in this latest novel not to provide much raunchy details during "marital relations", compared to some of her earlier period romances. Is Ms. Balogh maybe tired of the very sex oriented contemporary as well as historical romances available today? This reader did not need any "details" but enjoyed the story of Anastasia and Avery just as is. Way tooo long I enjoyed this story and am not a professional writer,but, this needed a good editor. As noted in prior reviews, the repartition was really annoying . The reader had already been informed,why repeat it in another long draw out exchange. Loved the concept,liked the leads, loathed this issue. It made me think of the old installment novels ,where they were paid by the word. Stopped at chapter 10 skipped to 22 wrote this review after last chapter .... same problem. I will go through the whole tape since story is interesting. Good to goofy Started promising and towards the end I could not believe i was still reading the same story. Lots of page fillers and repetitive information through letters or retelling of the story. Overall a disappointing experience

Members Reviews: Such wonderful Series So far I love all the books in this series. This one is charming, romantic, and sexy. I cant say enough about this series. I highly recommend! The Blueprint of Historical Romance Would you consider the audio edition of Devil in Winter to be better than the print version? Equal but Different. Both Are FANTASTIC What did you like best about this story? St. Vincent, he is quite the character. He plays the heartless rake, who is hiding all his pain of the losses he has experienced. Along comes Evie, A Self Proclaimed Wallflower who is abused by her oh so proper family. St. Vincent begins to see Evie's strength and loyalty, and soon wishes to be part of that circle. What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is the best. Her characterization of St Vincent is brilliant! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Loved the relationship bewteen Evie and her Father, (Gambling club owner Ivo Jenner, who is introduced in the novel Dreaming of You) The relationship between Evie and Cam Rohan ( who gets his own story in Mine Till Midnight) and of course St. Vincent and Evie....it's hysterical when she lectures him..and how the relationship changes after a little twist of fate.... Any additional comments? You will love this book, but be careful,, reading this book may make you a historical romance junkie Gentle lady finds a Knight disguised as a devil If you could sum up Devil in Winter in three words, what would they be? Surprise, Salvation, Love. Evangeline Jenner, the most timid of the wallflowers needs the help of Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent and he finds out that she is the salvation he needs too. It is nice to see their love develop. A very good book. Who was your favorite character and why? Sebastian is really my favorite though I also like Evangeline. It is fun to watch them learn and grow with each other. Sebastian does not realize he is looking for salvation of any kind. He is so afraid of failing in life as his father failed him. The two of them help each other to be what they should be. What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? As always she just does an excellent job of narration. My one exception here is the voice she chose for Sebastian. Unfortunately, it takes so much away from him as a rake and lover. I wish she had chosen a different one for him.

Lord Henri-Antoine has returned from the Grand Tour to a life of privilege and excess. A vast inheritance allows him every indulgence, free from responsibility. Yet, Henri-Antoine maintains a well-ordered existence, going to great lengths to conceal an affliction few understand and many fear. Miss Lisa Crisp is a penniless orphan who relies on the charity of relatives to keep her from the poorhouse. Intelligent and unflappable, Lisa will not allow poverty to define her. She leads a useful life working among the sick poor. Under startling circumstances, Henri-Antoine and Lisa meet. There is instant attraction. When they find themselves attending the same wedding in the country, Henri-Antoine offers Lisa a scandalous proposition, one she should refuse but yearns to accept. Following her heart could ruin them both. A standalone romantic adventure set against the backdrop of Treat, ancestral home of the dukes of Roxton. Satyr's Son will delight fans of the series with cameos by many beloved characters, while new listeners will discover the myriad pleasures and glittering aristocratic world of the Roxton family through the fresh eyes of newcomer Lisa Crisp. Satyr's Son is a Cinderella story with a heartwarming happily ever after. Members Reviews: Lucinda Brant + Alex Wyndham = Truly Marvelous Feeling a bit sad to have come to the end of this marvelous series. As with all of her books, Brants characters steal our hearts. Although we know the HEA is inevitable, the path is a steep climb for the lovers. Alex Wyndham always gives a star performance and Satyrs Son is no exception. Thanks for everything. Wonderful ending to a splendid series I have enjoyed the Roxton series tremendously. I was left wanting more at the end of this book. Henri-Antone and Lisa's story warrant a second book. The characters were complex, flawed and interesting to get to know. There were many times I had tears in my eyes while listening to this book. I will listen many times in the future The performance was as always with Alex Wyndham, spectacular. His voice is sublime. I have enjoyed all of Lucinda Brant's novels as well as audio renditions of her books. I am looking forward to volume 2 of the letters. This book is more than worth a credit! Intensely Satisfying with an Unusual Hero Loved this return to the Roxtan family and added interest due to the health and temperament of the hero. I really enjoyed that Lisa stood up to Henri Antoine and understood what lay under the facade. As always the writing is passionate and wonderful and Alex brings to life all the characters in his own unique way. You can read this book out of sequence but I would suggest reading them in order for a truly amazing read. Wonderful story, so woth listening too. Love strikes yet another of the Roxton family member and this time it's Harry or better known as Henri-Antoine! It was a chance meeting--and one to Henri-Antoine's benefit--that suffering fro his 'falling sickness' that it was Lisa who was there to comfort him. Days later, he seeks her out to give her his thanks but he finds that this young woman is not one to fall into his beck and call and meet him in his carriage. Harry had to go to her! It was much later, that they both find themselves attending the wedding of their friends Jack and Teddy at the Roxton's family home Treat.

A man she's never even met. A man who, by reputation, is one of Scotland's cruelest lairds in over a century. But what choice does she have, with her father dead and her uncle now married to his brother's widow, putting him in charge of not only the Blackthorne fortune, but Sibyl's future as well? Then her betrothed turns out to actually be far worse than his reputation, so headstrong Sibyl decides life as a peasant, or even death, would be preferable to a future with such a despicable man, and makes plans to run away. On an organized hunt for wolves - or, as the Scots call them, wulvers - Sibyl escapes her fiancé's clutches, only to find she's run into something far more untamed and dangerous in the middle of the woods. When a big, brawny, long-haired man, who only speaks to her in Gaelic and calls himself Raife, simply picks her up and carries her off with him into the Scottish wild, Sibyl knows she's in trouble. Members Reviews: Blah,blah,blah Couldn't hold my attention. What would have made Highland Wolf Pact Boxed Set better? Not sure, Selena characters repeat the same lines or whiny thoughts way too often and it made me roll my eyes and huff! I got tired of the storyline not holding my attention so I never made it through all three books. What was most disappointing about Selena Kitts story? How the women are seen to make really bad flash decisions even when they argue with themselves either while doing them or after. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Dave Gillis does a good read, I just found the books lacking. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Highland Wolf Pact Boxed Set? Scenes just need to be stronger, more structured for lack of a better description. In love I loved this series, and I could hardly "put it down". The narrator of the books was excellent and his Scottish accent went along with the setting perfectly. He also voiced the parts of both men and women pretty well. Cool idea, but learn from my fail. Don't do it.. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I don't think this was time well spent. I felt like this was a time suck and I regret wasting all my time listening to this and actually finishing it, Would you recommend Highland Wolf Pact Boxed Set to your friends? Why or why not? No I would not recommend this. Nothing about this set stands out. There isn't anything that made me go, wow, I'm going to listen to this over and over again. What didnt you like about Dave Gilliss performance? Dave does horrible women's voices! It's really distracting overall because of it. Was Highland Wolf Pact Boxed Set worth the listening time? No, this was not worth the time it took to listen to it all. Any additional comments? If I could go back, I wouldn't end up buying this book and wasting so much of my time listening to it. Learn from my fail, there are other better stores out there. Very steamy Romance this books totally captivated me and hand me wanting and listen for more. Very steamy hot romance from beginning ,middle ,to end. So much action ,romance ,mystical magic.

To Capture What We Cannot Keep Audiobook by Beatrice Colin

Title: To Capture What We Cannot Keep Subtitle: A Novel Author: Beatrice Colin Narrator: Polly Stone Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 11-29-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Set against the construction of the Eiffel Tower, this novel charts the relationship between a young widow and an engineer who, despite constraints of class and wealth, fall in love. In February 1887, Caitriona Wallace and Émile Nouguier meet in a hot air balloon, floating high above Paris--a moment of pure possibility. But back on firm ground, their vastly different social strata become clear. Cait is a widow who because of her precarious financial situation is forced to chaperone two wealthy Scottish charges. Émile is expected to take on the bourgeois stability of his family's business and choose a suitable wife. As the Eiffel Tower rises, a marvel of steel and air and light, the subject of extreme controversy and a symbol of the future, Cait and Émile must decide what their love is worth. Seamlessly weaving historical detail and vivid invention, Beatrice Colin evokes the revolutionary time in which Cait and Émile live--one of corsets and secret trysts, duels and Bohemian independence, strict tradition and Impressionist experimentation. To Capture What We Cannot Keep, stylish, provocative, and shimmering, raises probing questions about a woman's place in that world, the overarching reach of class distinctions, and the sacrifices love requires of us all. Polly Stone, who was praised for her use of French accents in her reading of The Nightingale, will bring the same talent to her narration of To Capture What We Cannot Keep. "Stone's French accents add authenticity and a sense of place to her reading." AudioFile on The Nightingale Members Reviews: Loved it! What a wonderful story. The writer leads us on a magical and enchanted journey through Europe and then Africa. One of the most gifted storytellers I have read in a long time and bringing scenes to life. I can't wait to read more of her books! Interesting time period Story was a little slow. Characters had more inner thoughts and not enough dialogue with each other. Interesting but a tad slow. The storyline was interesting, but slow moving at times, but performances made up for that. The musical interludes throughout were annoying and di not add to the enjoyment of the Los tending. Beautiful writing, gave such life to Paris This is a beautifully written story with characters that the reader comes to care so much about. The descriptions are incredible and vivid. The author enables the reader to see, smell and taste Paris. There are many plot twists and turns, with a satisfying ending. And, as usual, Polly Stone reads so well which adds to the story's dimensions. She has impeccable rhythm and pronunciation, and even uses different voices for each character. Very easy to follow and listen to. Splendid Period Novel This was exactly as advertised - love the period it take place during, the building of the Eiffel Tower. It is well written and remains engaging throughout. I would definitely recommend.

Title: The Valley Subtitle: The Valley Trilogy, Book 1 Author: Helen Bryan Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 339 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Left suddenly penniless, the Honorable Sophia Grafton, a viscount's orphaned daughter, sails to the New World to claim the only property left to her name: a tobacco plantation in the remote wilds of colonial Virginia. Enlisting the reluctant assistance of a handsome young French spy - at gunpoint - she gathers an unlikely group of escaped slaves and indentured servants, each seeking their own safe haven in the untamed New World. What follows will test her courage and that of her companions as they struggle to survive a journey deep into a hostile wilderness and eventually forge a community of homesteads and deep bonds that will unite them for generations. The first installment in an epic historical trilogy by Helen Bryan, the bestselling author of War Brides and The Sisterhood, The Valley is a sweeping, unforgettable tale of hardship, tenacity, love, and heartache. Members Reviews: My Favorite Author Helen Bryan did it again! I love her ability to tell a story with so much realism and clarity that I feel like I'm there with the settlers. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel as I have enjoyed her others. I love how she adds so much fine detail that I really get an understanding of how life was in that period. My only complaint was that I yearned for a more elaborate story between Henri and Sophia. What was their everyday relationship like? Were they always just cordial or did the passion grow? The story also really speeds up in the last 1/4 of the novel so that begin to feel a drastic disconnect between all of the book's characters. I know she's transitioning us to part 2 but I almost felt like I was reading a completely different novel in the end. Still, a very good story and told by an excellent narrator who for once didn't annoy me. Wonderful book with enchanting characters This work of fiction that chronicled generations of varying types of people was an excellent read. The narrator have a stellar performance, bringing each character to life and even aging the voices of the characters as the book progressed. Highly reconvened for any reader like myself who enjoys historical fiction. Whew! Finally done! I'm not one to start a book, even if I'm not enjoying it, and not finish it. I was tempted this time! I wanted to love it! Disjointed storylines, never feeling like they came to a completion and added too many characters. Interesting at times but way too long of descriptions of people and events at other times. Although, Kate Reading always does a great job narrating, she's probably the only reason why I continued listening to this very lengthy book. I'm not continuing the triology, one was enough! Well written but a sad tale. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? No, I feel this book is too much of a downer to recommend. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The era it's set is interesting, however, the storyline is pretty depressing from start to finish. Which character as performed by Kate Reading was your favorite? She did a good job on all the characters. Do you think The Valley needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? I can't see it getting lighter but who am I to say that others wouldn't have enjoyed the book and will want to see a follow-up.

Title: The King's Man Subtitle: Welsh Blades, Book 1 Author: Elizabeth Kingston Narrator: Nicholas Boulton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 11-20-15 Publisher: Hedgehog Inc Productions Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 347 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Laura Kinsale Presentsan intense and haunting historical romance by talented new author Elizabeth Kingston. The sword-wielding daughter of a Welsh rebel crosses weapons with King Edward's favorite killer. Ranulf Ombrier is notorious throughout England for his skill at swordplay and murderous reputation. But after years of doing his king's bidding, he follows his conscience away from Edward, all the way to the wilds of Wales. Gwenllian of Ruardean, Welsh daughter of a powerful Marcher lord, has every reason to leave Ranulf for dead when one of her men nearly kills him. As a girl she was married by proxy to a man Ranulf murdered, only to become a widow before she ever met her groom. In the years since, she has shunned the life of a lady, instead studying warfare and combat at her mother's behest. Saving her enemy's life comes with consequences, and Gwenllian and Ranulf are soon caught up in dangerous intrigue. Forced together, they discover a kinship of spirit and a surprising, intense desire. But even hard-won love cannot thrive when loyalties are divided and the winds of rebellion sweep the land. Critic Reviews: "I love this book because it's a great, angsty medieval, brought to life in the old school romance tradition. It's got a kick-ass heroine (who isn't a brat) and a dark, brooding hero with a past. It's read by Nicholas Boulton. And we get to hear how those lovely Welsh vowels really sound, in Nick's to-die-for voice. Like many of you, I've been anxious to hear him read fresh new works, and we're making it happen. Enjoy! And be sure to let us know what you think of Nick's performance of Kingston's unique characters in the reviews." (Laura Kinsale, author of Flowers from the Storm) "In a deep, gravelly voice, narrator Nicholas Boulton performs this tale of sworn enemies in Wales in the 1280sBoulton incorporates a dozen different accents--from lilting Welsh to lightly accented English--without missing a beat and brings breathless, action-filled sword fights to life. Amid complicated political wrangling for control of the Welsh and Marcher lands, King Edward marries Gwenllian to Ranulf, which brings about a stormy, passionate peace--and some steamy sex. Listeners will be captivated by this story of loyalty, honor, and love." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Awesome story & narration! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I already have and the reason is the well told story and nuanced narration. What did you like best about this story? The complexity of characters. What does Nicholas Boulton bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I actually got this book over a week before I upgraded it to narration and was blown away with NB's narration. He brought every character to life with his nuanced voice. Guess what? I never got to read it because he was so good! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? You bet! But life tends to get in a way and it took me about three days to finish it. Any additional comments? Earlier this month this title was free, with audio narration offered at $1.99, and I just couldnt pass it up. Was I ever glad to get it! I have to say that I never got to read it because the narration done by Nicholas Boulton was amazing.

After her parents died, raising her two younger sisters became her responsibility. A hasty marriage to a minister who is heading to the untamed West seemed like an opportunity for a fresh start, but a cholera outbreak along the wagon trail has left Grace a widow in a very precarious position. Having learned natural remedies and midwifery from her mother, Grace seeks an opportunity to use her skills for the benefit of others. So when she and her sisters arrive at the Whitman mission in Oregon Country, she decides to stay rather than push on. Members Reviews: TREASURED GRACE; HEART OF THE FRONTIER, BOOK 1 Enjoyed this book every much.I know others will enjoy the way GOD Works in peoples lives Well written, but ... The story flows well and gives a wonderful glimpse of life during that time. Some parts were almost too harsh to bear. The clear voice of Ms Cozart is much appreciated. Cassandra Campbell is an awesome narrator. I'll be looking for audible books with Cassandra Campbell as the narrator. She does an awesome job. Treasured Grace, apt play on words What did you like about this audiobook? The naturalness of the portrayal of life intertwined with faith was refreshing. How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter? The painting of a historical picture of life on the frontier: hardship, fulfillment, death, love, hope, was both believable and fascinating. In the context of normal, but courageous people, the author showed the struggle of some of the pioneers of this great country. With faith and hope individuals ventured into a better future. Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this? The descriptions of conflict between the pioneers and the native people portrayed believable injustices and misunderstandings that contributed to blood shed and sorrow. Hardships of pioneer life were well portrayed, as were rewards and fulfillments. What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance? The narrator appeared inexperienced to give adequate expression to the power of the story. A historical novel with Christian values Grace, the eldest sister, is charged with caring for her younger sisters after their parents death. She uses the traditions of her mother and grandmother to serve others . Although there are Oregon Trail events and situations that depicted history, the typical happy ever after ending was not typical of real life.

The Marquess of Cainewood vows to hunt down the pirate wretch in revenge for his brother's death. But when Jade, an enchanting vision of rippling red hair and eyes of jewel-green, appears at his door to beg desperately for his protection, the Marquess agrees to keep her safe from the villains who want her dead. Jade is infuriating, exasperating, and gorgeous; Caine is noble, strong-willed, and powerful. No woman has ever befuddled him so, nor so deeply aroused his desire. But as Jade answers his knowing caresses with an innocent, wild abandon, they are drawn into a web of treachery that will test the very heart of their love! Members Reviews: Very Entertaining! I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I read it years ago and now after listening to it I came to appreciate it in a whole new way. This book really grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept my interest throughout. Its romantic, funny and so delightful. This is one to keep on the revisit list. The narrator was wonderful. She does a great job fluctuating her voice with the written word (i.e. whispering). It really makes the book come alive. Great love story with unexpected plot The descriptions of the plot can't begin to tell the real story without spoiling the story, so disregard most everything you read in the publisher's data. This is a delightful story with a fabulous pair of lovers, where the woman is delightful. There's humor and danger and plenty of loving and exciting action. It's the 2nd in the series, and though it can stand alone, I'd definitely start right at the beginning. Another great book by Julie Garwood Any additional comments? I purchased this book based on readers reviews and am so glad I did. This book actually has a couple of nice twists to it that I did not expect. Certainly made the story more interesting. Again here we have a strong female character and a kind but strong male character as well. Here we have again a woman who is raised by savages and turns out to be a great human being just as the last book in the series The Lions Lady. Wonderful passionate scenes and good storyline make it a nice read. Do women like this really exist back then? I d love to think so. I highly recommend this book. One of my favorite books by Julie Garwood. Love One of my favorite books by Julie Garwood! I love the story, and the characters! Another great read loved it another great story. I love the historical romances, another great book! a must read by yourself not with children around

There's only one problem: As a woman with a noble English background, she has no business keeping company with such a man. For Scotsman Iain MacEnroy, Emily's high-tone accent is a bitter reminder of the oppressive regime he left behind. The last thing he needs is to be burdened by the needs of a beautiful, blue-eyed Englishwoman. But taking care of elegant, educated Emily begins to transform Iain in ways he never imagined. Could it be that the deep divisions from the old world no longer apply in the new - and that Iain and Emily can share a passion as lush and wild as the Scottish highlands themselves? Members Reviews: Good I enjoyed all the different voices narrated by Justine Eyre. She's very good. This audiobook was set in Arkansas' Ozarks in the Old country. I thought that was interesting because that's where I live. I've read a lot of Hannah Howell's books, mainly the Murray Clan. There was some repeating which I'd thought at first I had some how rewound the audiobook, ha. And some predictable going on but still worth a credit. And some humour too. Terrible I usually love Hannah Howells audiobooks, but this one was just difficult to get through. I probably could have gotten through the storyline (and might have even enjoyed it) if it werent for the voice actress. She is horrible to listen to. I will be avoiding any audiobook that she reads for. Not her best! This story lacked the depth and that feel good quality of most of Hannah Howell's books. loved this book I hope there is a sequel this book has all the kinds of books in one that I like to read Scott's old English and placed in the old Western us with romances Overpriced The verbiage was stiff. Narrator has great child voice and English accent but the narration part was whiney. Storyline was week. Who has conversations during a gun battle? Surprised they didn't have tea while the house was under siege. Not a fan.

Prized for her exquisite beauty, the daughter of one of England's most influential barons, Gabrielle is also a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle's marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place. For Gabrielle, everything changes in one last burst of freedom, when she and her guards come upon a scene of unimaginable cruelty. With one shot from her bow and arrow, Gabrielle takes a life, saves a life, and begins a war. Within days, the Highlands are aflame with passions as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. Having come to Scotland to be married, Gabrielle is instead entangled in Highland intrigue. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle's bravery and prowess may prove fatal. But thanks to a secret Gabrielle possesses, Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, finds a new cause for courage. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle's body nor heart is safe. A gripping novel that delves into the heart of emotion, unyielding passions of love, hate, revenge, and raw desire, Shadow Music is magnificent gift from Julie Garwood and a crowning achievement in her amazing career. Members Reviews: Yes, read it! For a year now I have had this on my wish list but dodged it because of the reviews. I LOVE Rosalyn Landor....it was hard to believe that the narration was that poor.... I have 2 other Julie Garwood books that were great but she is not my favorite author..... Finally I got to a point where the new releases were not used to my standard....I was looking through my wish list and settled on finally getting through this book and hoping I can make it to the end... Well I got to the end in one day! I could not put it down... Yes it's not her strongest book... But the narrator does and awesome job and the story is good, entertaining and some humorous parts! I would say this is one book that did not get the best reviews but is really a great read. Delightful, Great Story Would you listen to Shadow Music again? Why? I have listened to Shadow Music several times and I still don't know how Rosalyn Landor did all the voice overs. Terrific, very well done and extremely entertaining. The story is very unique, interesting and different from anything I have listened to before. Who was your favorite character and why? The two lead Characters of course. Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landors other performances before? How does this one compare? Rosalyn Landor never disappoints me. She holds the listeners interest and makes the story and all the characters come alive. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me feel good and that's why I have listened to it several times and will do so again. Wish Judy Garwood would write more books like this one.. Any additional comments? It would be wonderful if Judy G. would hire Rosalyn L. to read all her books. good but not great I am a great fan of this author and was thrilled to discover this novel. I enjoyed it but felt a little detached from the main characters. Not her strongest What would have made Shadow Music better? More deeply developed characters, more meaningful moments between the two main characters.

The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world. But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything. With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances - along with her father's precious dye - help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow until Lydia meets the Apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life. Members Reviews: Refreshing I loved it. It renewed me spiritually. Exactly what I needed to get me out of my slums. tessa never disappoints Loved it... Amazing story of Lydia. TessaTessa's beautiful way with words make the reader feel the biblicial fictious reasons behind these great women in the bible for turning to God may have happened that way Twists and Turns This book is worth it. I thought it would cross the line towards cringeworthy but Tessa knows how to toe the line without crossing it. Over the course of 20 years you are thrown into the world of Lydia. This book does an amazing job following the story of Lydia in the book of Acts. It renews your faith in God. Great read!!!!!!!!! Authors are blessed with creativity. They have created a work of art with their words. My heart saw God's works and in His works hope, love and forgiveness came alive. It was more than a delightful read. It was a bountiful blessing. Thoroughly enjoyed! I thought this author did a great job staying biblically accurate while at the same time weaving a believable story about Lydia. The Bible doesnt give us much detail but this story gives significant onsite to her character.

Title: It Happened One Autumn Subtitle: Wallflower Series #2 Author: Lisa Kleypas Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1751 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: It happened at the Ball. Where beautiful but bold Lillian Bowman quickly learned that her independent American ways werent entirely the thing. And the most disapproving of all was insufferable, snobbish, and impossible Marcus, Lord Westcliff, Londons most eligible aristocrat. It happened in the garden When Marcus shockingly and dangerously swept her into his arms. Lillian was overcome with a consuming passion for a man she didnt even like. Time stood still; it was as if no one else existedthank goodness they werent caught very nearly in the act! It happened one autumn. Marcus was a man in charge of his own emotions, a bedrock of stability. But with Lillian, every touch was exquisite torture, every kiss an enticement for more. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitableas his bride? Members Reviews: Great Second Book in the Wallflower Series This book is even better than book one "Secrets of a Summer Night." It has romance, mystery, intrigue, and some whit. If you like historical romances you will love this one. Wonderful book. Did not like main female charactor's voice Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I was irritated by the way Ms. Landor portrayed the voice of the main female character. It made me hate the main character by the end of the book. I realize she was to be outspoken, but it came across as arrogant. Also it took me half the book to get used to her male voices. All in all the story was ok, I will read the series in book form and skip this narrator. Yay for the wallflowers Love this book in audio and just as much in print. The wallflowers series is such a breath of fresh air for historical romance. The characters are lively and different and don't let the normal restrictions stop them from having a wonderful time. Lillian and Marcus are easily my favourite couple of the series. They are completely different and manage to find love in each other that makes me sigh every time. A wonderful romance novel. Lovely Any additional comments? Lillian's character is wonderful. Love strong women and she is certainly strong. Marcus is strong, rich and willful as well. A strong hate/dislike relationship changes to a passionate one. As expected from Lisa Kleypas, she ends this book with an incident that proves to both leading characters they love one another with much passion. This discovery then leads to an admission of love which Lisa K's characters often find difficult to do until the very end. It was time well spent. On my Top five Historical Romance list.... I have spent every available minute of the past three days listening to this story and inLOVED it!!! It was much better than the first book in the Walflower series. Lillian Bowman is an untamed American heiress looking for a husband. Marcus Westcliff is a British aristocrat who seems to be uptight and conservative. They really know how to get under each other's skin and push every button. But all the fighting was masking a very powerful passion. This book is very funny, romantic, with red hot passion and very unexpected situations happening. I don't like to give spoilers but what happens towards the end was a big surprise and gave a lot of curiosity to see how the hero of the next book could possibly be redeemed. Narration: Rosalyn Landor did an excellent job narrating this book. Very good accents and I could easily distinguish each character.

All his life, he has held the world at arm's length...but the sharp, beguiling Poppy demands to be his wife in every way that matters. Still, as desire grows between them, an enemy lurks in the shadows. Now if Harry wants to keep Poppy by his side, he must forge a true union of body and soul, once and for all. Members Reviews: The Hathaways crack me up! So far Tempt Me At Twilight is my favorite Hathaway story. Although based on the reviews for book 4 that might change. I love the Hathaway family. They are witty and fun and always make me laugh. This is a fun/easy listen and Rosalyn Landor is excellent! I would suggest starting with book 1 first, but this would make a great stand alone story as well. Laugh with the Hathaways! Easy read involving the eccentric Hathaway family, each family member with their own quirks and nuances. The dialogue can be very funny...which is a real plus with me. Simply an endearing series...read in order to fully appreciate the dynamics of the group. I Love it ..I Love It! I have read many romance novels.. Listened to anyway.. This is the perfect combination of romance, intregue & just fun. A Joy to Listen Too. Hero is the sexiest of nearly all Kleypas heroes If you could sum up Tempt Me at Twilight in three words, what would they be? Harry Rutledge totally does it for me. Right up there with Sebastian Lord St. Vincent. What was one of the most memorable moments of Tempt Me at Twilight? just read it. What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like? She's incredible. Both male and female voices right on. Characters completely distinguishable and lovely to listten to. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I've listened to it twice so far. I like to savor them, if I can.

Title: How a Scot Surrenders to a Lady Subtitle: Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts, Book 5 Author: Julie Johnstone Narrator: Tim Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-21-17 Publisher: Julie Johnstone Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 68 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: She was the weakness he could not afford, and the temptation he could not deny. Highland warrior Cameron MacLeod's mission for the king has just gone dangerously awry, and the best chance he has of saving it is the fair-haired beauty he encounters during the ambush. Injured during the battle, the enchantress has lost her memory, but Cameron harbors one of her. Long ago, a seer foretold that this woman had the power to destroy him. He's confident he's not so weak as to succumb to her charms, but the mysterious woman soon proves herself brave, guileless, and after one foolish, searing kiss, impossible to resist. When Sorcha Stewart awakes in a strange place, the only person she has any memory of is the handsome highlander in front of her; and even that memory is hazy. Still, she instantly feels drawn to and protected by Cameron, and he proves her instinct correct with his willingness to endanger himself to defend her. Soon, love ensnares her, and when Sorcha finally recalls her history, she learns she's irrevocably tied to the very enemies the Scot has been hunting. Now that the seer's foretelling is coming true, it's putting Cameron in grave danger. With little time and their futures hanging in the balance, Cameron will have to swallow his pride and seek the help of his renowned brothers, whom he's spent his life striving to be considered equal to, or risk losing Sorcha forever. As for Sorcha, she'll have to break ties with her past to hold on to the wondrous love she's discovered. Members Reviews: Enjoyable Tim Campbell captures the characters. The storyline and conversations are fun. Enjoyed the entire series and the writing style of JJ. Surrender to Passion in the Highlands! Long ago a seer told Cameron MacLeod that a woman would be his undoing. She would come to him during a battle, bathed in blood... eventually he would sacrifice everything for her. His family, his honor, even his loyalty to the crown. Cameron does everything in his power to prove that he's worthy of the MacLeod name, like his older brothers before him, but he's constantly haunted by the memory of his father... "Unworthy ye are, lad." Now the youngest MacLeod brother has been charged with a most important duty to the crown... but things do not go as expected, and during this time he meets the woman that was prophecied many years ago. When Sorcha Stewart awakes in a strange place, she has no memory of how she came to be there... or why she was in the same woods where an ambush took place on the king's mistress. The only memories that she has are those of Cameron. Meeting him years earlier in a dagger throwing contest, where she bested him and then ran back home. Though they never had a formal introduction the meeting was memorable for members of both parties. Will the seer's prophecy come true? Will Cameron deny these feelings all for duty to the crown? Will Sorcha remember her history, and when she does will she be friend or foe? All will be answered in the fifth installment of Julie Johnstone's epic story, "How a Scot Surrenders to a Lady". **I was lucky enough to win a free audiobook copy of this story from the author.

Instead she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie. When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out three months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is - even if he does not recall her face - and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England. Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself - completely - to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby. Members Reviews: Delightful ! What a joyful tale of love, not just romantic love, though that part was so satisfying, but love of family, duty, friendship and honor. Julia Quinn at her best!! And Rosalyn Landor, my favorite narrator. What a treat. Well worth a credit. Not my favorite Julia Quinn novel. Sluggish until toward end, unlikeable female character. 1st novel in this series was excellent. I had anticipated another Quinn masterpiece and was left disappointed - for me and for Edward - he deserved better. The idea of the story was good, but even my favorite narrator could not solve the sluggish and unlikeable aspects. I hope Andrew has a better outcome. unhappy with x rated content Any additional comments? This is my first Julia Quinn novel and I had to skp a few chapters because of the content. Are all of her novels this way? does contain steamy scenes if you are looking for a "sweet" story be aware this book does contain bedroom details summer Good quick summer read or listen. good story, unexpected twist, good sentiment. beautifully read

Nicholas Langdon is no stranger to reserved civility or bloody barbarity. After suffering a battlefield injury, the wealthy, well-connected British officer returns home to heal - and to fulfill a dying soldier's last wish by delivering his coded diary. At the home of the Wilherns, one of England's most powerful families, Langdon attends a lavish ball where he meets their beautiful and intelligent ward, Julia Grey. Determined to maintain propriety, he keeps his distance - until the diary is stolen and all clues lead to Julia's guardian. As Langdon traces an evil plot that could be the nation's undoing, he grows ever more intrigued by the lovely young woman. And when Julia realizes that England - and the man she is falling in love with - need her help, she finds herself caught in the fray. Will the two succumb to their attraction while fighting to save their country? Members Reviews: Clean romance Really enjoyed this cute, clean, well-written book. I will definitely be reading more from this author as it was refreshing to read about smart and thoughtful characters for a change. Beautiful ending Such a sweet ending! The first 1/2 of the book moved a little slowly. Not that the book was bad, just a slow pace. The last 1/2 of the book really sped up and the ending was beautiful, sweet, and everything I love about Melanie Dickerson. The narrator did a great job with her multiple different tones and voices for different characters. Although, I found a few of her voices to detract from the character. This is a great story that I felt very comfortable to listen to with my 10 year old daughter. It is clean, sweetly romantic, with great moral principles. Has a similar feel to the movie Ever After, although a totally different plot. I will listen to it again (however I may skip a chapter or two in the beginning. Where is the spy story? What a godawful book! I bought it on sale, either a Daily Deal or something, but I was still tempted to return it, which would have made it only the second book I returned in 15 years as an Audible member. This is supposed to be a "Regency Spies" story. It's about 5% spy story and 95% handwringing. I can't marry him, he's a fiend! I can't marry him, he's to nice! I can't marry him, my cousin wants him! He'll never want me, he needs to marry money! I don't want to be a governess! I don't want to anger my uncle! Pheh. Idiocy at its worst. A good spy story to keep you guessing I quite enjoyed this book. I struggled a little at the beginning as the narrator is different to others I listen to but it was a very satisfying listen overall. This could have been exciting, but... ... I can't stand repetitive angst. Every time I began to be happy with Julia's rising resistance and caught up in the excitement, she went back into the mental hand wringing, saying things that had been said multiple times before. Probably the writer wanted to keep her in period, and to build the pressure of the suffocating limitations on a woman of the time, but surely there were better ways than repetitive internal dialog and prayer. It is a difficult task to create an exciting spy thriller that remains faithful to regency period realities for women.

Say Yes to the Marquess Audiobook by Tessa Dare

After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date, Clio Whitmore has had enough. She's inherited a castle, scraped together some pride, and made plans to break her engagement. Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter and notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry his brother - even if he has to plan the dratted wedding himself. So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride's cold feet? Members Reviews: This was fun! I liked this book a lot. Clio is a strong, independent woman and Rafe is a strong, very strong, opponent for her. I love their banter and the unfolding relationship. This has been a great series so far. The characters aren't connected from book to book (at least so far) but I'd love to read Phoebe's story at some point. It would be good to see how she ties up - get it? - her life. Narration was great. This book gets 4.5 stars from me. Brava, Tessa Dare! One of my Favorite Authors Does it Again What made the experience of listening to Say Yes to the Marquess the most enjoyable? The most enjoyable part of Say Yes to the Marquess is the superb story. As always, Tessa Dare presents the reader with exceedingly relatable characters that you would want to hang out with, swoon over, or kick in the shins. The unique story of a prize-fighting second son who has always been in love with his older brother's betrothed is captivating. The H and h are perfectly imperfect and I love their story so much! What was one of the most memorable moments of Say Yes to the Marquess? Well, I don't think I can type it here ;-) It did involve a too tight wedding gown, but not a wedding night...I think my earbuds were steaming! Which character as performed by Carmen Rose was your favorite? Probably Chloe was my favorite character Carmen Rose performed. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Don't keep a good girl waiting. Any additional comments? Carmen Rose isn't my favorite performer, but she did the book justice. There is nothing wrong with it, it just isn't amazing. Worth a credit, for sure. My first Tessa Dare miss. I'm so sad. Vastly, hugely disappointing. I probably should have given less than 2 stars because I paid a lot of money for the ebook + audiobook and I could barely finish it. I'm utterly devastated because I loved the first in the series, but this was such a let down. First of all, the plot really made no sense. The whole conflict with Rafe trying to convince Clio to marry his brother though NO ONE wanted that scenario was very weak. I usually think that Tessa Dare does a brilliant job with plotting, but this one dragged with a plot that felt half-hearted. And the whole thing with Rafe prize fighting and being ejected from society, though he was a son of a marquess, also didn't make much sense. It was all such a mess, honestly, and I struggled my way through it. Clio belonged in a contemporary romance, not a historical romance. The whole book had no bearing on anything historical. Ugh. The narration was fair at best. I was annoyed at the narrator, and she didn't grow on me like she did in the first book in the series. I'm telling you, skip right over this one.

Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season - or any season - but his diabolical mother abducts him to "Spinster Cove" and insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. Griff decides to teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. He chooses the serving girl. Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn't dream about dukes. All she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. That dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke offers her a small fortune for a week's employment. Her duties are simple: Submit to his mother's "duchess training"and fail miserably. But in London, Pauline isn't a miserable failure. She's a brave, quick-witted, beguiling failure - a woman who ignites Griff's desire and soothes the darkness in his soul. Keeping Pauline by his side won't be easy. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess - can a roguish duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart? Members Reviews: Tessa Dare Writes a Dang Good Story! I love everything about this book. The story line is fabulous, the characters are fresh and very appealing. I listened to the whole thing in one sitting and I could turn around and listen to it again. Eva Kaminsky's narration is terrific. I especially love her accent for Pauline, our heroine. Pauline is a country lass, who though lacking much formal education, is witty and quick and catches the hero's attention from first glance. Griff, the Duke of Halford has been forced by his mother, a woman who is desperate for grandchildren to pick a woman to be his Duchess. His mother vows to be able to turn any one of the ladies of Spindle Cove into a woman that the Ton will accept as Duchess material. Griff offers Pauline a good sum of money to take his mother up on her offer and to fail spectacularly. Pauline doesn't see this as a problem. I love Tessa Dare more and more with every book of hers I read. It's worth a credit. It's worth the money. And most importantly, it's worth the time it took to listen to it. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Wonderful! Genre: Regency Romance Performance by Eva Kaminsky was above average, except for a couple of mispronunciations which weren't bad enough to spoil everything for me. This book has everything: A plucky heroine A reluctant hero A determined Duchess And really bad knitting Tessa Dare takes us back to Spindle Cove, the haven for bluestockings, spinsters, and awkward young ladies needing some polish. Most of the book takes place in London, but it begins and ends in Spindle Cove. The hero and heroine are great characters, and they grow and change over the course of the novel. Pauline takes on a little bit of shine, and Griffin finds a bit of humility. Although this is part of a series, it isn't imperative that you read the others first. Definitely worth the credit. Fun twist of Cinderella's Story The storyline is so amusing and kept my interest till the end. It's about irresponsible, living in debauchery Duke who wants to spite his overbearing mother by marrying a serving girl.

The Summer Garden is the third volume in Simons' magnificent trilogy - a Russian Thorn Birds - which follows a love that survived the terrible siege of Leningrad during World War Two, a heartbreaking separation, and a glorious reunion in America, only to be supremely tested by the hatred, fear, and uncertainty of the Cold War. You will never forget the lovers Tatiana and Alexander and their story of enduring love and commitment, and you will cherish every moment spent in The Summer Garden. Members Reviews: Love Can't get enough of The Bronze Horseman series. This was a yummy part 3. I hope they make the movie soon!!!! EPIC! TIMELESS! ENRAPTURING! I am so moved by this series of novels. The genius behind this epic series is unbelievable! Full of descriptive language, amazing detail, a breathtaking storyline, outstanding characters and an amazing narrator are a rare combination to be treasured by all listeners! The author must have poured her soul into writing these three novels. The tremendous amount of research necessary to perfect every minute detail about war, weaponry, geography, religion, culture, family and an innate insight into the human condition make this series an unforgettable experience! I cannot say enough about the wonders buried within these pages brought to life by a truly gifted narrator! I will listen over and over and never be able to get enough! BRAVO! Couldn't Finish it! I don't understand how anyone could like this novel. I enjoyed the Bronze Horseman,Tatiana and Alexander was okay, but this one was just horrible. It drags on and on. Most of the novel is about Tatiana and Alexander fighting and having make up sex. Over and over. I got to the point where I just couldn't waste my time listening anymore. Don't bother with this one. Perfect ending to a great trilogy! Wish it didn't have to end. I'm in love with the story of Tatiana and Alexander. Paulina Simons is such a gifted writer. She brings her characters to life. This book in particular answered all the questions love stories tend to miss. After they were united.. it's the story of what happened next. I'm grateful for the whole story being told. Not one beat was missed. The narration can not go unmentioned, James Langtons voice makes you fall in love with the characters. He Love this book, this series I loved this book and was so sad when it ended but so happy to have read it. James Langton was a fabulous narrator. The first two books in the series should be 'read' first to make this one most powerful as it ties everything together. Love, loved it!

Love it! Love it! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Seduce Me at Sunrise is the second book in the Hathoway's series, and it is a book you will not want to put down. I would definitely recommend it to any of my adult friends. Lisa has a gift for developing very likable characters, that as a reader, you begin to invest your time in getting to know. I love this family of misfits! They are precious, and funny, and loyal. They love each other as a family should, with "warts and all". You will definitely want to begin with the first book in the series, "Mine Till Midnight", where you will first be introduced to the Hawthorn family, and learn the story of Amelia, the oldest Hawthorn sister and Cam, a wonderfully exotic man who is half gypsy, and half Irish. Their story will capture your attention, and lead you to Seduce Me at Sunrise, where we learn about Winn, Hawthorn sister #2, and Kev. I just downloaded the third book in the series and plan to begin tonight. Rosalyn Landor is always an amazing performer. I have downloaded several books (including those by Lisa Kleypas) based on the fact that Rosalyn would be the reader. Her voices are amazing and realistic. I have enjoyed each book I have downloaded where she read. This series of books will provide a full well-rounded experience of emotions. The reader is immediately captivated by the clearity of the descriptions, whether it be a character or setting, and with each word, the books are more difficult to put down. DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK...DEFINITELY WORTH THE CREDIT! OMG! This series is amazing! This is definitely one of the sweetest romance novels you'll encounter because the deep love that resonates between Win & Kev isn't based on lust, but an innocent love they built during childhood. It's very easy to cheer for these two lead characters. Win has to do the impossible because not only does she have to convince Kev that her childhood illness is in the past, but she also has to convince him that despite differences in background, he is worthy of her love. But, what makes this story (& the whole series) absolutely delightful is the nontraditional Hathaway family. This loving & hilarious family don't care what society thinks of them. More importantly, they will do anything to keep each other safe and happy. As usual, Rosalyn Landon does an excellent job as narrator. Don't skip this book. Where does Seduce Me at Sunrise rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far? I started to skip this book because of the review I read.

Title: Mine Till Midnight Subtitle: The Hathaways, Book 1 Author: Lisa Kleypas Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1494 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Wealthy beyond most men's dreams, Cam has tired of society's petty restrictions and longs to return to his "uncivilized" Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship - but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter.... Critic Reviews: "The author's sensitivity to the prejudice endured by the Roma (Gypsies) adds a measure of grim reality that is creatively offset by Rohan's discussion of Roma beliefs and superstitions. Kleypas's effortless style makes for another sexy exploration of 19th-century passion and peccadilloes, riveting from start to finish." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: It's different from the book - but not abridged It's like the whole book is here because it's almost 10 hrs long, the only thing is the Christopher Frost in the book is Amelia's old fiance' and he pops up throughout the entire book and is a problem in the end. In this version Amelia meets Christopher Frost in the last hour of the narrated book and only knows him as one of her brother's friends. The story is a great story, but without it being read how it truly is written it comes up just a tad bit lacking. When you've read it you expect it, but those of you haven't read the book, it does not deter from the story and you will enjoy it very much. I just found it odd.... Missing part of the story. NOT unabridged Any additional comments? Disappointed that part of Amelia's story line is missing, or has been altered concerning her former relationship with Christopher Frost. Abridged version - buyer beware What disappointed you about Mine Till Midnight? This book was misrepresented. It is an abridged version although it was advertised as unabridged. What was most disappointing about Lisa Kleypas???s story? Amelia's back story is missing in this version. Any additional comments? I think Audiable should take responsibility for false advertising Love Cam & Amelia's Story I love Cam & Amelia's story, and was so happy that Cam got his own book. However, even though this says it's "unabridged," it seems like it is an abridged version, as it leaves out a whole sub-plot from the paperback version of the book involved Christopher Frost, and only puts him in as a minor character towards the end of the book. Otherwise, it's a wonderful book and I thoroughly enjoyed. Listed to it twice and read it twice!! I'll eventually do the same with the other Hathaway books. Leo and Cat's story is my second favorite, as it's fun to see how they progress through the books. Cam&Amelia THEY'VE CUT YOUR STORY. What did you like best about Mine Till Midnight? What did you like least? Anytime Cam and Amelia were together. Awesome. So very, very disappointed when I realized this was not the unabridged version as advertised. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The relationships between these two, very different, ethnicities and how comfortable Amelia was with Cam, and with herself.

Saving Grace Audiobook by Julie Garwood

Title: Saving Grace Author: Julie Garwood Narrator: Rosalyn Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2043 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: In this splendid New York Times best-seller, Julie Garwood brilliantly crafts the majestic story of a young Englishwoman determined to fight for her freedom...a woman whose life would be transformed by the rare, unexpected gift of love. When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry - and selected a bridegroom for her - it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain. At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tenderly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side - and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed! Members Reviews: Beautifully Written Highland Tale This story is beautifully written and the characters are so real to life. This is a highland story that has a backdrop of domestic violence. It may not seem unusual to read of domestic violence in highland historical romances but most stories just show it as common place. This book shows how Johanna deals with the abuse and handles it. Of course there is more to the story as it wouldn't be a highland story without the romance. There are many poignant moments that had me upset or mad but there were just as many times I smiled. It is more of a sweet tender highland story rather than a highland battle adventure. Its worth listening to. Also, Rosalyn Landor was excellent as usual!! Love it My favorite book, I have read the book many years ago and love it then! I have listened to many times since I bought it, and never grow tired of it WOW... WHAT A JOURNEY, A PERFECT HIGHLAND ROMANCE Now hold on and bare with me 'cause I'm about to gush here and probably say love and loved quite a few times - so apologies in advance. I just love Julie Garwood's books, and this one especially as it's filled with such a rich array of strong, loveable, quirky and funny characters that you can't help but fall in love with. Then I love the way Johanna & Gabriel's (I definitely loved him) characters evolved as they grew closer together and they learn from and with each other as their love story unfolds. I also love the way JG writes - painting each scene for us to soak up and mentally visualise the clothes, the culture, the Castle, the Warriors, the fighting, the love scenes and all the other touching, tender, violent, funny and sad events contained within these precious hours of listening.

The Rose Garden Audiobook by Susanna Kearsley

Title: The Rose Garden Author: Susanna Kearsley Narrator: Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-04-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3269 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Acclaimed author Susanna Kearsley's previous works have won the RT Book Reviews Reviewers Choice Award, and finaled for both the UK Romantic Novel of the Year and the RITA awards. Eva Ward is a modern woman thrown back three centuries to 1715 - only to find that might be exactly where she belongs. There, she finds true love with Daniel Butler, but the discord surrounding Hanoverian King George plunges the lovers into a world of intrigue, treason, and romance. Critic Reviews: "Kearsley masterfully writes authentic voices for Eva and Daniel as they wrestle with their improbable connection and its implications." (Publishers Weekly) "Kearsley makes the impossible seem real as sheweaves a tale full of genuine characters [with] a strong sense of place and makes history come alive." (Booklist) "Susanna Kearsley's The Rose Garden is an enthralling and achingly romantic read." (BookPage) Members Reviews: Amazing story. What an amazing story. Because I really enjoyed The Winter Sea I couldn't wait to listen to The Rose Garden and I wasn't disappointed. The story moves back and forth through time and as with The Winter Sea this proves to keep the listener intrigued and wanting more. I guess my only negative comment was that at times the narrator needed to take great gulps of air - but this was only a very minor issue. I highly recommend this book. Beautiful Oldfashioned Romance This story intertwines past and present so beautifully. The story of Eva and Daniel is so wonderfully described it was so hard to put it down. I felt drawn into the story from beginning to end. It was refreshing to listen to a book that was more romantic than sexual. It lets you draw your own conclusions in the bedroom. My only complaint was that I didn't want it to end. I would recommend this book. The narrator was great too. Lovely way to spent some hours I love Gabaldon's Outlander series, but I must say that I love Kearsley's universe as well. There were some moments towards the end of this book where the hairs on my arms stood up. It might be overly romantic but it worked for me. This is not great world literature but a truly wonderful book to listen to. Well worth the time. Listen to this story... you won't be disappointed Why in the world would someone expect another really good writer in their own style to set out to produce a story "JUST LIKE" Outlander. Just because it involves traveling back in time doesn't mean it has to be compared. Why not just enjoy it for what it is. A good story, well worth the listen. I will say as a matter of small complaint, that the narrator was a little "meek" for what I thought Eva might really be like but just the fact that I was thinking about that, means that the author did her part in building the character/s for me. I feel like I know Trelowarth. I do wish the story had been longer and I suppose that too is a compliment to the writer. I think there is room for another story and do hope that Ms. Kearsley will have a care for those of us that truly loved the story and tell us more. One of the best reads of the year The story and the performance was soo good! I loved the events from a woman's view. I told my wife that if she like "The 6th Sense" and "A Beautiful Mind" then she would love this book as nothing is as it seems right from the very beginning.

Hiding his identity from the relentless rival clan that hunted him, he called himself Grimm to protect the people he cared for, vowing never to acknowledge his love for ravishing Jillian St. Clair. Yet even from afar he watched over her, and when her father sent an urgent summons, "Come for Jillian," he raced to her side - into a competition to win her hand in marriage. A warrior's steely heart.... Why had he run from her so many years before? And why return now to see her offered as a prize in her father's manipulative game? Furious, Jillian vowed never to wed. But Grimm was the man she loved, the one who urged her to marry another. He tried to pretend indifference as she tempted him, but he could not deny the fierce desires that compelled him to abduct her from the altar. She was the only woman who could tame the beast that raged within him - even as deadly enemies plotted to destroy them both. Critic Reviews: "Highly original...sensual, hard-to-put-down romance. Karen Marie Moning is destined to make her mark on the genre." (Romantic Times) "A hauntingly beautiful love story....Karen Marie Moning gives us an emotional masterpiece that you will want to take out and read again and again." (Rendezvous) Members Reviews: Not understanding the problem here.... I normally don't write reviews but I depend on them so much when selecting books I wanted to help you guys out here. Many reviewers have claimed they could not get past the narrator's female voice. While most men cannot perfect the sound of a female's voice I feel that Phil Gigante did a more than acceptable job at it. The story itself was wonderful as well. I highly recommend this one!! Amazingly Wonderful I have to admit that I had a bias because the narrator is male. My bias was completely unfounded. This book was amazing; great plot, good narrator. However unpractical, you will not be disappointed purchasing this book. Loved It! There's not one thing about this book I didn't like. I enjoyed the narrator, characters, and plot. I would have enjoyed it more if the final battle at the end had been expanded, but it was still a great book. Loved it! Phil Gigante is a GREAT narrator. The voices of the women didn't bother me at all. The story was touching and sexy and sometimes just plain hot! Reading it in the car caused me to drive with all my windows up though. still love this series Came across this series by accident when on sale, and really enjoy it. Not really into the whole paranormal thing usually, but do enjoy the supernatural, time travel, etc parts of these stories. Don't understand complaints about this narrator, he does a fabulous job. Unless you have a male and female narrator performing together, you are going to have a man doing female voices, or female doing male. Have listened to others by this narrator and think he is great. I will definitely keep getting the books in this series.

Title: Bliss Author: Lynsay Sands Narrator: Justin Hill Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: No one blends humor and sensuality like New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands in this captivating story of feuding nobles forced to marry - and destined to fall in love. Love thy neighbor, 'tis said. A fine idea, except when the neighbor in question is Lord Holden. Lady Helen Tiernay has complained frequently about his treatment of his people. Too frequently perhaps, for the king intends to curb their constant bickering by ordering them to wed. Helen can't refuse a royal decree, but she'll do everything possible to drive away her devilishly attractive husband-to-be. Holden has faced all manner of horrors on the battlefield. But marriage to "the tyrant of Tiernay" is still a worrying prospect - until he glimpses Helen in the flesh. What flesh it is - soft, lush, made for his touch. If she weren't so intent on thinking up devious ways to prevent consummating their bond, Helen would see how perfect they are together and that a marriage begun as enemies can turn to absolute pleasure. Members Reviews: loved it this was a great book. it made me laugh so hard i cried... definitely worth a credit.. excellent narration If you could sum up Bliss in three words, what would they be? funny, well-read, great What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The story was set in 1173, but the dialogue was very modern. Especially when the healer asked a patient if she had " an allergic reaction". This term seems out of place 850 years ago. I doubt anyone knew about allergies back then.The heroine said that a tenant was "turfed out". that is slang that is used in modern speech, not in that time period. All of the words that were out of their timeframe, took me away from the story. What does Justin Hill bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He is an excellent narrator. He is very much like Nicholas Bolton, and even a little better in some aspects. I can't say enough about JH, but will be looking for all the books he narrates, as he is a new find! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh. Some of the circumstances went on a little too long, but not to the point of being frustrating. Its Bliss Narrator is really good... Several one liners that are extremely funny. Loved the book and writer. HILARIOUS LOVABLE H/H Bliss is an Outstanding story. When Lady Helen Tiernay is order by King Henry to marry her neighbor "The Hammer" Lord Heathe Holden she is determine to make him cry off. She hates him and believes he has done some horrible things to the tenants that live on his land. This story is Hilarious, the characters are just loveable. Its fast paced excellent writing and dialog between the H/H. There is also someone trying to kill Lord Holden. I love Lady Helen, her aunt and there maids Hijinks. They come up with some of the funnies ways to make Heathe cry off. Soon Heathe finds out what they are up too. So does the Kings man Lord Templeton who has come to see the marriage takes place. He is also very funny. He has had enough of the delays of the marriage and consummation. So he sees to it LOL!! Once the couple comes together they have a hot sensual marriage and grow in love with each other. Truly a enjoyable story I couldn't put it down.

Innes Munro has the ability to "read" a person's past simply by touching them, but her gift comes with a heavy price: her freedom. Forced to stay at desolate Castle Girnigoe, Innes never expects to be drawn to the wounded warrior who haunts its dark passages and challenges her at every turn. Conall Sinclair, the Earl of Caithness, carries the scars of battles with the English and the lash marks of their dungeons, but the wounds that fester within give him even greater pain. Isolating himself from his clan and the rest of the world in a tower perched on the wild Scottish coast, Conall is reluctant to let the spirited Innes close to him, however neither can deny the growing passion that ignites with every look, every touch. But can Conall ever love a woman who can read his darkest secrets and feel the pain he hides? And can love really tame all fears? As dangerous forces close in, Conall and Innes must take the ultimate leap of faith and forge a bond of trust that will save them both...or lose each other forever. Members Reviews: another wonderful story! I love this series and feel so fortunate to have found it. On to the last installment - so bittersweet as I know I will devour that one as quickly as I did the first two. Can't the stories continue with their children?? I listen to a lot of audiobooks and absolutely love the way Saskia Maarleveld narrates and brings the authors words to life! I am on the hunt to listen to anything this teams writes/speaks!! I gave the story 4 stars only because I missed the humor of the first book - it was still a terrific tale but longed for the sarcasm and humor of the first one. Well done and thank you!! Enjoyable listen Only recently discovered this author but look forward to more offerings. The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices. one of the best series I have every listened ! Where does Taming the Highlander rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I waited until I had listened to all three books before I did a review. I felt like it was one long book that I could not wait to finish. I listened to all three in a span of three days What other book might you compare Taming the Highlander to and why? I have read other highlander books but I cannot say that any have been quite like this series. The only other book I enjoyed almost as much as this is by Tracy Brogan (HIghland Surrender) I have also enjoyed Maya Banks and Julie Garwood's HIghland books/series Which scene was your favorite? I really cannot name one; there were so many. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, yes and yes again Any additional comments? This book captured my attention from the very beginning. It is fanciful; however, draws you in. There is love, pain and triumph at the end. I can't wait until more of Ms. McGoldrick's books are available to listen to on audible. The narrator was outstanding and I know I enjoyed listening because of her. However, the storyline itself was compelling and I believe the books are just as good Great listen! I really enjoyed listening to the first two books and am excited to listen to the next in the series. Since I seldom leave a review, shows how much I enjoyed.

Then, in vengeance for a bitter crime, Baron Duncan of Wextonthe Wolfunleashed his warriors against Louddon's domain. Exquisite Madelyne was the prize he catured...but when he gazed upon the proud beauty, he pledged to protect her with his life. In his rough-hewn castle, Duncan proved true to his honor. But when at last their noble passion conquered them both, she surrendered with all her soul. Now, for love, Madelyne would stand fast...as bravely as her Lord, the powerful Wolf who fought for...Honor's Splendour. Members Reviews: Julie Garwood writes the best Highlander books! If you like highland romance books than you can't pass her books up. These books are so captivating & passionate. Her books are worth the credit! Good Book, Bad Narrator I've read this Garwood - and several of her other works - many times and was delighted to see that it's now at audible.com but was disappointed to see that Anne Flosnik as narrator. Ms. Flosnik does a satisfactory presentation of female voices, however, she consistently destroys male voices. She makes male characters sound like arrogant, expiring Darth Vaders making them - IMHO - boring and unlikeable. I think Simon Prebble does a much more credible presentation. narrator is distracting, story is wonderful What did you love best about Honor's Splendour? Strong characters and a compelling setting lay a firm foundation for a good read. How could the performance have been better? At the beginning of the book the narrator ends most every sentence with a breathy sigh and continues to repeat unfortunate choice of cadence frequently throughout the book - it distracts repeatedly from the story. Any additional comments? The narrator has a good variety of character accents. It seems that she's working so hard on her accents that she looses her ability to vary her cadence and tenor.The story was well written and compelling and I'll look forward to reading 'Garwood's work again. Great book. Bad narrator The book was awesome like the rest of Garwood's book, but gosh, The narrators voice was bland and irritating. A Beautiful Story Julie Garwood is a very talented author. I have enjoyed reading most her books, and this one didn't disappoint. How ever good the story, how ever great the characters, it is the talent behind the pen that makes a good book GREAT. Garwood does a wonderful job with character development and dialogue, her descriptive writing makes her stories live. Her writing and Anne Flosnik's narration transports you into the story, it's as if you are watching it unfold. Set in medieval times, "Honor's Splendour" is about a baron seeking revenge for his sister's rape. He plans to kidnap the sister of his enemy; an eye for an eye--a sister for a sister. It begins when Baron Louddon has Baron Duncan of Wexton, known as "The Wolf", undressed and tied to a post in the middle of winter to freeze to death, so there would be no marks on his body. Madelyne (the sister of his enemy) plans to escape her brothers abuse, but first she feels compelled to save the poor warrior from certain death. Not knowing he is there to kidnap her; she frees him and he captures her.

Critic Reviews: "By turns amusing, sensual and sober, but always compelling, this is a first-rate offering from a truly talented storyteller." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Love the Wallflowers This book is a delightful start to the series. This book is romantic, funny, and a great story. Simon and Annabelle had a lot of chemistry which makes a perfect romance. Narration was perfect! Highly recommend this one!! A Male Perspective What made the experience of listening to Secrets of a Summer Night the most enjoyable? The way in which is was performed was excellent. The story was perhaps a bit drawn out. If youve listened to books by Lisa Kleypas before, how does this one compare? First time with this author What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like? The way in which her voice portrayed the various characters was extremely well done Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I like the way that the story built to a climax. The scene in the music room where Annabelle and Simon have to quietly wait while the musicians practice. The sexual tension and the anticipation is amazing Any additional comments? As a male, I don't usually read or listen to this kind of story. I must say it was very well written and the whole thing was very tastefully written. Great Book! What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is the best reader ever! RL + LK = automatic download. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Mr. Hunt considered compromising Anabel again in the same night just for "Insurance" purposes. It was funny and romantic at the same time. Any additional comments? The Wallflowers series is awesome! And once you've finished you have to read The Hathaways . A must read/listen. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! What made the experience of listening to Secrets of a Summer Night the most enjoyable? This novel is pieced together so wonderfully, so magnificently that my only mistake in approaching it was listening to this audiobook before bedtime. Lisa Kleypas beautifully intertwines the characters of Annabelle and Simon Hunt and their developing romance in this novel that you just can't stop listening to. There are so many perspectives that captivate the reader. 1) Society's impact on the characters: Annabelle is beautiful and if she had a dowry she would be highly sought after by eligible bachelors in the upper class.

Yet when Bowen Montgomery storms the gates on a mission of clan warfare, Genevieve finds that her spirit is bent but not broken. Still, her path toward freedom remains uncertain. Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess. But Bowen's rugged sensuality stirs something deep inside her that longs to be awakened by his patient, gentle caress - something warm, wicked, and tempting. Bowen seizes his enemy's keep, unprepared for the brooding and reclusive woman who captures his heart. He's enchanted by her fierce determination, her unusual beauty, and her quiet, unfailing strength. But wooing her will take more than a seasoned seducer's skill. For loving Genevieve, he discovers, means giving her back the freedom that was stolen from her - even if it means losing her forever. Members Reviews: Captivating story with superb narration... Just like every other historical romance that Maya Banks writes, I loooved it! I really liked the heroine of this story. She was kidnapped, repeatedly raped, her faced marked and mistreated for a year. Her body was broken but not her spirit. She found a way to be rescued and she even ended up saving the hero's life. Something I really like about this series is that the heroines all have some disability or imperfection and the stories talk about true beauty and love. The story is intense, sad, interesting, sexy and has the perfect ending! Narration: Kirsten Potter is one of my favorite narrators. She can set fire to your ears when she narrates a love scene. She did an amazing job on this story as always. STEP BACK IN TIME & PREPARE TO BE CAPTURED BY THIS Phew - well I've just finished this harrowing Highland tale that tells of the darkest of cruelty and torment but also tells of the joy of redemption along with salvation as the acts of tenderness and forgiveness eventually brings healing and the deepest of love. Maya Banks never fails in her role as an author to deliver to her fans a book that captivates you from the first chapter until the last and within those chapters she packs them full with great characters and conjures a story that is tragic, heartwarming, tender and sooo romantic. They never fail to reach your heart and you just know that this will be one you could easily revisit and will never forget because, for a short while, you lived amongst these Highland characters and felt their anguish, anger, torment, pleasure and passion. The narrator did a great job too in breathing life and emotion to each of the characters and the situations that they found themselves in. Worth a credit? Well, as long as Maya keeps writing these wonderful books then I'll happily keep buying them and then long for the next.... so I guess that's a big fat YES. Unconditional Love at its Best This book is captivating and I couldn't put it down. It was just as good as the first book (Never Seduce a Scot). Genevieve went through so much hardship and Bowen loves her no matter what.....who doesnt like a book like that? I really love how Maya Banks wrote this book. It almost seems like its a continuation of the first book.

Title: Lord of Scoundrels Author: Loretta Chase Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-29-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2232 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the "Bane and Blight of the Ballisters", and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He's determined to continue doing what he does best - sin and sin again - and all's going swimminglyuntil the day a shop door opens and she walks in. She's too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world. Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she's going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him - and with him her family and future - means taking on the devil himself, she won't back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible that the person who needs saving most is Jessica herself. Members Reviews: Witty dialogue highlights battle between the sexes Alex Kingston (River Song from the 11th Doctor Who series) would make a great Jessica Trent, the heroine of this story. The banter between Jessica and Sebastian, Lord Dain, (large, dark, wealthy) kept me laughing throughout the night as I couldn't stop listening. This book is well served by this audio performance. Kate Reading nails Jessica. The side characters are also interesting, e.g., Genevieve, Jessica's femme fatale grandmother, and Bertie, Jessica's brother. Lord Dain is paranoid about women only wanting him for his money and has a very jaundiced opinion of all females. If you want an intelligent plot and laugh-out-loud dialogue, give this one a try. It's one of my top five romances. AWESOME..I'm in love with this story; I want more The only bad thing I can say about this story is I wish it were part of a series. The relationship between Jessica and Dain was so compelling because it makes sense. Nice job on character development. I love that the called each other pet names like " you little Nit-Wit" and "Clod-pole". I wish there was more.... Excellent work 1 SINNER + 1 SAINT = A RIVETING NON-STOP LISTEN Lord Dain was an ugly baby, his Mother ran off when he was little, his Father hated him and all his classmates mocked him so what was he to do? He hardened his heart and, as he grew up, became cold, arrogant, selfish and only paid for sex (and lots of it) because his low self worth made him believe no-one would do it willingly unless they were after his fortune. Then he met beautiful, clever and witty Jessica and his unemotional life was about to change forever. Jessica had journeyed to Paris determined to keep her younger Brother away from a group of degenerates led by the Lord of Scoundrels himself - Dain but it only took one long appreciative top to toe look at him to bring forth the stirrings of passion. Once introduced, they immediately started up witty banter, quick responses and intelligent conversation however, their mutual sizzling attraction and lust was hidden beneath it. There were many chance, annoying or forced meetings, where sparks flew between them, and it was at one such meeting, that their mutual longing was ignited and passion and hope blossomed. But someone's betrayal quickly quashed their feelings replacing them with wounding words, hurt, anger, doubts, misunderstandings and matters suddenly took a potentially disastrous route.....

I have fallen in love, truly and completely in love, for the first time. The man whom I hold in such passionate regard, however, is not of my station. He is a painter, a brilliant artist. Needless to say, my family would not approve.... Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn't be caught reading the wildly popular "Dear Lady Truelove" column, but when its advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives. Though Lady Truelove's identity is a closely guarded secret, Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its author. For Irene, it's easy to advise others to surrender to passion, but when she meets the Duke of Torquil, she soon learns that passion comes at a price. When one impulsive, spur-of-the-moment kiss pulls her into a scorching affair with Henry, it could destroy her beloved newspaper, her career, and her independence. But in the duke's arms, surrender is so, so sweet.... Members Reviews: OMG! 10 STAR STORY AND 10 STAR NARRATION! I don't know where to begin. I absolutely loved this story! It was amazing. These two main characters were fantastic together. Irene was smart, strong, witty and beautiful. No shy simpering female here! Loved her! She was honest and stood her ground. OH and Henry the Duke of Torquil was amazing! I loved his character. He needed those walls knocked down a bit but he was truly a wonderful man. The chemistry between these two was so fantastic and the sex scenes were so well written. Loved these two! This story was so good. It has to be one of my favorite love stories I have read in a long long time. It was just great! As for the narration. OMG IT WAS PERFECT! I think Carolyn Morris made this book even better with her voices and characterizations of Irene and Henry. Honestly one of the best narrators and I wish she narrated more and more books. I have listened to almost every book Carolyn Morris narrates and she just gets better and better. The men sound like men, every gets their own voice, the accents are great, she reads with emotion and her reading voice is a joy to listen too. I know, I know, I am a huge fan of this narrator and I say this every time but every time I listen to her it just makes me happy to be an audible fan! There are some narrators that shouldn't even be narrating and some narrators that should narrate all the books LOL and @carolyn_voice can narrate all the books! This is a must listen! One of the very best...EVER! I've been reading and listening to historical romance books for years. I'm a bit hard to please these days...very picky! This was so unexpected, so well written, so well narrated and so satisfying! Thank you:) The 1890's Loved the narrator (Carolyn morris) The story was very entertaining and. Informatived about the. beliefs of England in the 1890's. It is about the rights. of. Women. Most of all. I loved the hero and heorine and their love story. Great one Awesome listen. Fresh ideas in the genre. Funny. Complex characters. Best book in the genre I've listened to in a long time. " I want to love you Henry, but you make it impossible" Beautifully written book.

Reunited in the 1920s at the Curry Hotel in Alaska, have the years changed them too deeply to rediscover what they had? And when Jean-Michel's nightmares of war return with terrifying consequences, will faith be enough to heal what's been broken for so long? After the death of their father, Collette and Jean-Michel Langelier are no longer tied to post-war France. While his sister dreams of adventure, Jean-Michel is hoping to finally escape reminders of the horrors he faced in the war. When Jean-Michel receives an unexpected invitation for them to visit Alaska and the Curry Hotel, it seems an opportunity for a change he needs. Katherine Demarchis is a young widow who does not grieve the dangerous husband she was forced to marry. Now she just wants to retreat to a quiet life, content to be alone. First, though, she's agreed to accompany her grandmother on a final trip, but never expects to see a man from her past. Members Reviews: Inspiring Story! 3.5 "He wouldn't be going to Alaska." A voice from his past has summoned Frenchman Jean-Michel Langelier to leave his nightmares behind and travel to the beautiful state of Alaska in order to reunite with memories that are too precious to consider. Haunted by the travesties he witnessed in the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925, Jean-Michel is a broken man, especially following the death of his dear father, resulting in the guardianship of his precocious teen sister. Lovely Katherine Demarchis has been convinced by her grandmother to leave New York, following the death of her cruel husband, and to traverse America on their way to spending the summer at the renowned Alaskan Curry Hotel. Arriving at their destination, imagine how stunned Katherine is to find that the first love of her life is also a guest at the hotel. What a lovely story; reacquainting readers with favorite characters from the first book in the series, while demonstrating God's ability to breathe new life into the burned ashes of others' terrible circumstances. Brought Alaska alive. I enjoyed this series. Though I have no desire to climb Denali, I would love to see the lush vegetation and blue ice fields. The healing that took place between two wounded souls made for a sweet story. Out of the ashes A very good read. This book has a lot of history, tells us a lot about early Alaska. I would recommend this book for any age I could not put it down till I had read the whole book. Curry, Alaska warmed my heart. How nice it is to read a true love story. There are struggles, a bit of suspense, and adventure. A clean wholesome read. A love story Not my type of book but do love the author's books. Looked interesting so thought I would read it. Well written.

Her captors are the notoriously evil Lords of Chaos. When one of the masked - and nude! - lords spirits her away to his carriage, she shoots him...only to find she may have been a trifle hasty. A duke in deepest darkness Cynical, scarred, and brooding, Raphael de Chartres, the Duke of Dyemore, has made it his personal mission to infiltrate the Lords of Chaos and destroy them. Rescuing Lady Jordan was never in his plans. But now with the lords out to kill them both, he has but one choice: marry the lady in order to keep her safe. Caught in a web of danger...and desire Much to Raphael's irritation, Iris insists on being the sort of duchess who involves herself in his life - and bed. Soon he's drawn both to her quick wit and her fiery passion. But when Iris discovers that Raphael's past may be even more dangerous than the present, she falters. Is their love strong enough to withstand not only the Lords of Chaos but also Raphael's own demons? Members Reviews: Glad I'm done with this book.. Jeez! Are authors ever going to stop writing about Beauty and the Beast type books? Theres either a heroine whos too plain, too plump, too unattractive, that has a drop-dead gorgeous hero falling in love with her OR a hero with a scarred face, like this one. Time for something new. Im tired of reading about a scar that bisects his brow and messes with his smile. Also, this book was so dark that it really needed to come with warnings. I read this first 5 books in the Maiden Lane series but the more the Ghost of St. Giles was taken out the less interested I was in them. Then I saw where this was the last Maiden Lane book and decided to get it. To me it's a terrible story. I mean, Raphael didn't even smile until somewhere in the last 4 pages and he kept telling Iris he was no good and then that he was evil because of his father's tainted blood. Wow, how many times have I read that in a romance novel. I can't tell you all the dark things that went on in this book, because audible doesn't like it, but you can see my complete review on Goodreads. There were at least 4 sexual and sex scenes in this and the F-bomb was used 3 times. As to the narration: Its always a pleasure listening to Ashford McNab. Her reading voice is great, as well as her emotions. No Duke of Desire Never met a Duke so undesirable. Uncommunicative, authoritarian and unwilling to listen till the end. No Ghost, No Maiden Lane, Although I liked this story, I was disappointed that there was no new Ghost of St. Giles, no Maiden Lane and no Unfortunate Infants and Foundling Children's home. I think this is the last book in the series and so for it not to have the three main items which made up the series, is a bit disappointing. This doesn't really fit into the series very well in my opinion. I liked it - I was just hoping for more. Elizabeth Hoyt always write a good story and the love scenes are the best. Of course if you are into the Maiden Lane series - you have to listen to this book! Disappointed I find myself wanting to apologize for this review. I've had hours of fabulous listening from the pen of Miss Hoyt. Unfortunately, not this time.

Roxton is an unlikely saviorarrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia's unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing. This award-winning historical pays homage to Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades. Critic Reviews: Winner of the $10,000 Woman's Day/Random House Romantic Fiction Prize. Romance Writers of Australia Romantic Novel of the Year finalist. "Lucinda Brant's books are absolutely wonderful. She makes the Georgian era come alive as no one else can!" (Cynthia Wright, New York Times best seller and author of Caroline) Members Reviews: My favorite hero of the series I have to say in all the years of reading historical romance books, the hero in this book is one of my most favorite characters. His total control over his reactions and his maturity is One unmatched in any other stories. He's cool and collective and handsome and titled and loving and .... What can I say. I am lost in this character. I love the fact that Audible held this book back and released it after the other three books because otherwise I would have had a hard time reading the other ones. I do however feel profound sadness to know that the other stories happen when this Duke is a very old man. And to imagine him dead by book 3 tears my heart apart ( and no I am not giving away anything since death happens when he is very old. Not a surprise there). I absolutely love his character and so I admit he made the book for me. Do NOT hesitate to purchase this book. Extremely well written and very entertaining. awesome awesomeness I've always loved the first book in the Roxton series. Alex as always brings the books to life. Noble Satyr Such A Fantastic Audiobook I have read the "Noble Satyr," by Lucinda Brant along with the other "Roxton Family Books" countless of times but when I listened to the audiobook narrated by Alex Wyndham, it was as if I was a silent character in the audiobook. Yes, I literally felt as if I was right there during each and every scene! Alex's narration was perfect or spot on for each and every character and his enthusiasm was fantastic when the scene called for it. I have now decided after hearing the audiobook, "Noble Satyr," written by Lucinda Brant, and narrated by Alex Wyndham that I must have all the audiobooks for the, "Roxton Family Saga!" I'm a true convert for listening to Lucinda's audiobooks narrated by Alex Wyndham! The Noble Satyr This was possibly the first book I've read by Lucinda Brant so it took me a chapter or two to get into it, however, once I did, I was hooked. I've been reading so many Scottish romances, that this one caught me off guard. I absolutely loved it once I adjusted to France rather than Scotland. If I remember correctly, I received a free copy from the author through contests or to give an honest review. lso, I bought the audio book because I love hearing the different narrators ply their skills. To me, it just adds life to the well written characters. I truly didn't want to put the book down. I listened to the audio while sewing on a baby blanket.

I like that the strong well developed characters were an extension of the previous trilogy. Brian J. Gill gives an excellent, 5 star performance as the audible narrator. His talent gave life to all the characters with his accurate and believable pronunciations and regional accents and voices for the varied characters. I have really enjoyed all of the boo k s in these connected series very much. Not only has Elizabeth Rose given us another amazing adventure, but Brian J. Gill gives an amazing audible performance. They really seem to make a excellent, coordinated team, to bring us an enjoyable listening experience. Awesome Story I was cheering for the good guys and could not wait for someone to give it to the bad guys! Lol. The only problem I did have was the detailed intimate parts. They were more than necessary. But the story and plot was so good. Love all the Seasons books! Spring's story did not disappoint. well thought out characters and experiences for all of them. fast-paced and exciting story, Brian Gill brings them to life, changing from one character to another smoothly and oh his voice is dreamy. :) A Woman of Strength, a Man of Understanding Any additional comments?

Love claims her. How can she betray her new family? How can she betray the family shes had for 18 years? Is it possible she can keep them both safe? I enjoyed the story with a definite edginess to it. Spring is put into a perilous situation. Her emotions and understanding of who she is develop the story and propel the plot forward.

He never expected to inherit the title and when duty calls him home, he still finds Society's codes constricting and others' expectations oppressive. Nevertheless, he needs a wife to be a mother to his young daughter, preferably a woman of intelligence and warmth who is, above all, immune to his idiosyncrasies--and to falling in love. Widow Joanna Shaw isn't interested in a second marriage, not after the loveless, passionless union she endured. She'd much rather dote on her young niece and nephew since they will likely be the only children in her life...until she meets a precocious girl, in desperate need of a mother. But her father, the so-called Duke of Defiance, is as peculiar as he is handsome, and Jo won't take another risk with her heart. Their rules, however, are made to be broken, even when the consequences could destroy them both. Members Reviews: Good This was a decent read. I really enjoy this author but this wasn't my fav book.
