Anna Douglas joined a traveling musical group, using her exquisite voice to put food in her belly. She had been on the run for two years, escaping a life which terrified her. The band of musicians found the McDonald clan a place where they were appreciated and had been entertaining for some time. Neacal found solace in Annas lovely voice; it somehow reached into his very soul, giving him a very unsettled feeling, but somehow soothing and calming. His emotions are uncontrollable, ragged-edged, ever since a woman had deceived him. Can he ever trust a woman again? Anna is just plain skittish. When you learn of her past, you will see she is a woman of strength and good heart. With all that has befallen her, she is still able to see the good of life, the good in people. In Neacal she sees a good man, one she admires, one she could fall in love with, but her past still haunts her, preventing her to move forward.

Loved the spirited little lass with the mighty capacity for love that captured the handsomest man in Scotland. The great warrior succumbed to her loving arms, because she had faith in him as the man he wanted to be....for her! He might have been a rogue....but he was her rogue.......forever. How the Most Beautiful Man in Scotland Found Love Would you listen to The Arrow again? Why? I only keep a small amount of books on my phone bc it has only so much memory. This is one of the books I keep. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Arrow? How do I narrow it to just one? What about Antony Fergusons performance did you like? He reads the story so well. And his accent, which I've remarked upon before, is excellent Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? absolutely! Which is hard for me during the week WOW I JUST LOVED IT!! Where does The Arrow rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The story ranks very high, BUT Narrator, Antony Ferguson is Awful. He really cannot sound like a female or Childs voice He is horrible in that area. What other book might you compare The Arrow to and why? I am not sure. I have to think about that. Would you be willing to try another one of Antony Fergusons performances? No Not really!! I keep buying his books with the hopes he will improve on the female voices but so far he hasn't!! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It did both I laughed and I cried!! Any additional comments? The Arrow is my favorite story so far. It is perfect in every department, characters, romance, funny, adventurous, secrets and a tad of angst, not to much. I love the ending epilog. I felt like I was there in each and every scene with "Arrow" Gregor MacGregory the Highland Guard Marksmen and Archer and Cate Lochmaben or is that really her name, Cate has big secrets as to her identity. Gregor finds her trapped and staving in a well after her village was attacked by the English. Cate was only 15 at the time. Six years later at age 21 Cate goes after her man. Gregor is know to be the handsomest man in Scotland and his wee ward wants him for her own. The story is very funny at times and very sad at times. This is one sexy hot story and I love that Monica McCarty concentrated on the romance side of this story and not the war between Scotland and England.

There is an eventual showdown between Henry and the House of de Lohr once Chad and Alessandria are cornered. Will Henry finally claim Alessandria? Or will Chad ultimately defeat the man he once saved? Members Reviews: One of my favorite Kathyn Le Veques Books I love this book because it not only had an amazing h and H .. the book included many of the great families from previous books. Love story I enjoyed the love story in this novel. I think LeVeque also showed the emotions of the landed after the battle at Eversham( wrong spelling I know). Divided loyalties, family tensions and the fears of a king who has found he can't trust anyone. The narrator on the other hand was awful. Too much dramatics when not called for by the characters. I took off a star because of the poor job he did. I found the narration distracting at times Another rich and entertaining story by Kathryn Le Veque. I loved the way this brought together many of the characters and families that had been featured in other books and prior generations. It helped to make an otherwise okay story about the main characters much more interesting, as it tied together how these leading families were intertwined through their bloodlines and how this could cause ethical issues for those who might be on oposite sides of some weighty political issues in the day and time depicted. My one critique is that the narration was sometimes distracting when the narrator tried to give different voices to men versus women, or to help separate one character from sounding like another. For example, one female who I had just read about in a previous book was from Wales but for some reason in his quest to help make it easier for the listener to differentiate between various characters, I was distracted because sometimes she sounded more like she came from Sweden.

Then Comes Seduction Audiobook by Mary Balogh

Title: Then Comes Seduction Subtitle: Huxtable Series, Book 2 Author: Mary Balogh Narrator: Anne Flosnik Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 03-24-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 574 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The Huxtables have recently fallen into a great deal of wealth and prominence, and Katherine Huxtable knows that she's been lucky in every way but one. Despite her great beauty and newfound life of leisure, Katherine believes she is not made for passion or romance. She has avoided any suitors and all men of the ton, Lord Montford most of all due to his notoriety of as a dangerous rakehell. With a sour reputation, Baron Montford certainly has a steep hill to climb - will he lose his wager or perhaps even his heart? Members Reviews: Dear Anne Flosnik... Just thought you should know, that the word, "gown" does not have 2 syllables and the word "help" sounds ridiculous when drawn out a full 3 second. I know, I know, you are very popular and work all the time and do 1 billion books a year. I just have to say that I do skip books that you have narrated because they just sound so contrived and silly and pretentious. Sorry, my dear. I just had to say it. PS We all know this is really for the publishers! Predictable, almost a duplicate of the first book Would you try another book from Mary Balogh and/or Anne Flosnik? Anne Flosnik is a wonderful narrator for the regency romance novel. She can make an average novel seem better. Mary Balogh's book 2 is so similar to book 1, that I'm not sure there is a point to getting book 3. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The ending was good. I loved the mud pit scene. Which character as performed by Anne Flosnik was your favorite? The grouchy uncle was awesome!! Could you see Then Comes Seduction being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? This is not TV/ movie material What a let down... It pains me to write this review about an author I have the deepest respect for. This is definitely Balgh's weakest book in my opinion and I am quite disappointed with it. When introduced in book 1, Katherine seemed quite different from her character in book 2. The scene in Vauxhall gardens with Baron Montford was too unrealistic and absolutely out of character between her and a man she knew to be a "rake" of the 1st order. The pace of the story was too slow and the plot failed to draw me in. I felt that it was contrived and forced. There were no sparks between these two and I frankly could not care what happened to them. There was none of the sexually tensed banter, no moment that tugged at one's heart and no strong/proud heroine that came remotely close to the Ms Martin school's heroines of the Simply series. I gave all the simply series books 5 stars and expected the same quality of work from this author. I'm glad this is not my first listen/read for Mrs Balogh and I hope that book 3 (Meg's story) will be much better, otherwise it will be to this reader's great loss as Mrs Balogh is usually a top notch writer and this one fell short in my humble opinion. A Delicious, Light Read The narration is great. Anne Flosnick does a great job with character voices and mood. It's a basic story line: 2 people enter a marriage unwillingly and fall in love. Nice, light "vacation" read.

Surrender Audiobook by Amanda Quick

Title: Surrender Author: Amanda Quick Narrator: Anne Flosnik Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 279 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Soon Victoria would find herself ensconced in a crumbling mansion deep in the English country side, where the real reason for her hasty marriage becomes all too apparent - and where the ghosts of her dark-stained past are waiting to rise in a terrifying plot that will threaten her life, her honor, and the only man she could ever love... Members Reviews: Was entertaining Loved the lead male character, he was strong and almost mean...but not. Good narroration. Definately worth the read/listen. Surrneder Amanda Quck at her best along with the flawless reading of Anne Flosnik, brings smiles and suspense to the listener. Absolutely a great book Not bad... But not great either Setting: England (early 1800s?) Genre: Romantic suspense Narration was average. I'm getting used to Anne Flosnik, but she's still not in my favorites list. I just find her performances inconsistent. Maybe it's the director? At least she doesn't mispronounce words. This was JAK's second Amanda Quick, but by no means was it early in her career. The plot was interesting, with a fortune hunter-shy bluestocking heiress and a sexy, wounded war hero fortune-hunter. The relationship between them is contentious throughout the book. She is progressive, he is chauvinistic. There is more compromise by the HEA, but the argumentative nature of the relationship is the main plot device in the romance. The suspense part of the story was way too much in the background. There wasn't enough build-up to make the resolution satisfying, though half of that was a total surprise for me. There should have been more mysterious occurrences, and they should have been more threatening. I got this in a BOGO, and it was worth the half credit. It is probably worth a full credit if you have an emotional attachment to AQ, like I do. I'll probably listen again, if I ever get enough self-discipline to stop buying credits (I'm on my 3rd Platinum Membership for the year so far). devine deliviously devine entertaining, with quick wit. .loved it...a great introduction to the sensational story telling of the Quick books couldn't finish it well, i wanted to like this - description sounded good and some good reviews but i personally couldn't finish it - to put it simply - it has more expected romance novel situations and lines than i could stand - so corny and predictable and not believable. i rarely don't finish a book so enough said.

Title: To Tame a Scoundrel's Heart Subtitle: A Waltz with a Rogue Novella, Book 4 Author: Collette Cameron Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-17 Publisher: Blue Rose Romance Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Katrina Needham had her whole life planned: Marry her beloved Major Richard Domont and live happily-ever-after...until he's seen with another woman. Distraught, and needing a distraction, she agrees to assist the rugged, and dangerously handsome privateer, The Saint of the Sea, find a wife. Dominic St. Monté loves everything about his life as a sea captain, but when he unexpectedly inherits a dukedom and the care of his young sisters, he reluctantly decides he must marry. Afterward, he can return to the sea-faring life he craves, leaving his duchess to oversee his dukedom. Nic, now The Duke of Pendergast, enlists a family friend's help in finding an acceptable bride and soon realizes Katrina possesses every characteristic he seeks in a duchess. However, he cannot ask for her hand. Not only is she promised to another, a man still determined to make her his, she has absolutely no interest in becoming a privateer's wife. Can Nic and Katrina relinquish their carefully planned futures and trust love to guide them? Members Reviews: An entertaining reada If you could sum up To Tame a Scoundrel's Heart in three words, what would they be? Humorous, family, romance. Who was your favorite character and why? This has to be Nic. Although he hasn't had an easy life, he still cares deeply for those he loves. He does have a wicked streak and that is very entertaining to read. He is used to being in command and know what he wants and endeavours to get it. Which character as performed by Stevie Zimmerman was your favorite? I think this would be Katrina. She often spoke aloud what she was thinking, without always realising it. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I did have a chuckle at some of the humorous parts. Any additional comments? This was a very entertaining book. Not too long at just under 4 hours and it was easy to listen to in stages. I was gifted a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. This is my honest review. Loved it! This is a wonderful story that will keep you wanting more. It will touch your heart! A delightful story Collette Cameron has again managed to weave a delightful story for Katrina and Nick, the Saint. Katrina finds herself torn between her "almost betrothed" and the dashing swashbuckling new Duke, Nick. We know instantly who should win her hand but going through the process is so much fun with Ms Cameron's witty and divine story telling. I'm highly recommending this very entertaining book!

Wuthering Heights Audiobook by Emily Brontë

Title: Wuthering Heights Author: Emily Brontë Narrator: Patricia Routledge Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 513 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The passionate and tragic story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff is one of the high points of 19th-century Romantic literature. In the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, and in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors of its setting, Wuthering Heights creates a world of its own, conceived with a disregard for convention and an instinct for poetry and the darkest depths of the human soul in torment. Members Reviews: I loved how much I hated everyone Any additional comments? When I started this novel I didn't really like it that much, I was a little confused as to what was going on, whom was whom, and why I was even being told this tale. As I got a little bit deeper into it I admired the ability of Emily to create such interesting and detestable characters, but I was still uneasy as to if I liked the novel. I think what I was having trouble working out was weather Emily was writing a novel that was deliberately unsettling and filled with hateful people being hateful just for hateful's sake. I recognized that the characters were well written and I enjoyed that though this is a novel predating the edict of 'show don't tell', Emily always followed a tell with a much more insightful show, yet I felt sort of miserable reading it, I hated the characters (their actions, I mean) and I kept wanting to put it down. Yet I couldn't put it down. I felt compelled to continue, to discover what the motivations were for these characters, why I was being told this story, felt compelled by the excellent and powerful writing. And during the day when I was at work and away from the novel, I kept thinking about it, rolling the plot and situations over in my mind trying to make sense of it all. I knew I didn't yet know all the facts (in a way the novel is a bit of a mystery story) and so I just had to trust Emily to actually have a point, that she didn't write this just to be shocking but that there was true art here. Well I'm glad I stuck it out and stayed with this one because this is an extraordinary novel. This story and these characters are people who will haunt me till the day I die - for better or worse. These are characters who though I didn't like most of them, loved them too. And that's the real art here because by the very nature of how I felt about these people could I understand their passions for each other, Hareton especially. He loved Heathcliff and also hated him and we understand why - not because there was a simple explanation for such illogical behavior, but because it is complicated. The novel begins with very much keeping the reader in the dark because it would be impossible to know a family and all their troubles and their past after just a few pages (or hours in real life). In fact you could never hope to really know another family and all it's secrets (other than your own) if given an entire lifetime - the relationships are just far too complicated. Yet here in this novel Emily manages to reveal the secrets, the pain, the plotting, the love, and the hate page by page, slowly and with exquisite ability to make you feel the passage of time. You live with these people and you empathize with them by the end even of you can't forgive them because only they could forgive each other since it's their family. I imagine that this novel is sort of a prototype of trashy family drama stories but nothing can come close to this.

Bargaining with a Rake Audiobook by Julie Johnstone

Title: Bargaining with a Rake Subtitle: Whisper of Scandal, Book 1 Author: Julie Johnstone Narrator: Tristan Hunt Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-14 Publisher: Julie Johnstone Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 180 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: For 11 years, Gillian Rutherford has dreamed of escaping her family's dark secret and living a normal life. Now, faced with an unwelcome marriage that will chain her to London and the secret slowly killing her, she's desperate to save herself and the sister she adores. Salvation comes in the form of an American shipping tycoon, and all she must do is seduce him into marrying her. But Gillian's scheme hits a snag when she makes a bargain with a notorious rake Alexander Trevelle, Lord Lionhurst. He'll help her win the hand of his American friend, if she'll assist him with exacting revenge against her unwanted fiancé. But the price of the pact may just be their hearts. Members Reviews: A WONDERFUL HISTORICAL ROMANCE!!! What did you love best about Bargaining with a Rake? The Relationship building between the H/H Lady Gillian Rutherford and the Alexander the Marquess of Lionhurst. All of the secondary characters were a delight to read and listen too. Who was your favorite character and why? I can't name one. There were a lot of characters but all of them were written well and developed. What does Tristan Hunt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The different Characterizations. I just wished he had used a higher recording volume. Even on Highest volume I could only listen in a room with no other noise. A quite room in order to hear it. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, because of the story not so much the narrator!! Any additional comments? Bargaining With A Rake book 1 of A Whisper Of Scandal series, was a absolutely wonderful Historical Romance. It had the right amount of romance with a little bit of sensual sexy heat. I usually like a more sensual erotic romance story but Bargaining With A Rake's storyline and characters made up for the lack of sex. There is plenty of suspense, mystery and secrets with a touch of sadness. The villain get his just deserts. The H/H Lady Gillian Rutherford daughter of the Duke of Kingley and Lord Alexander Trevelle the Marquess of Lionhurst were written with intelligence, witty banter between the two. Deep layers of character development. Great Storytelling. Enough of a backdrop to transport you back into the year 1817. I hope the next book Conspiring With A Rogue is as good. I Highly Recommend BWAR!! Very Well Done. Similar to My Fair Duchess Yes the characters are similar in that the hero is wounded by a woman, heroine imagines being married to someone other than the hero, hero wishes to become a rake because of a family experience, the hero is honorable and also dances with wallflowers other men don't in order to help them, all friends know about the secret plot characters are involved in so really not much of a secret, and of course a bad guy. Even though I knew all of that I still could not stop myself from seeking a moment free to go and listen to the book. Still enjoyable and now I am going to get another book by Julie Johnstone. You should too. Good one I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see how dedicated some people can be to family. The entire story was centered around family secrets and the lengths people will go to, to keep their family secrets. I'd recommend the book. Entertaining This book was okay. This is the second book I've read by this author. This was better than the first one but still has some issues.

Leaving Boston to take a job as the schoolmarm of the small town of Weston, Arizona had seemed like a good idea, but the man sent to fetch her from the station almost changes her mind. The handsome but uncivilized brute who introduces himself as Max Harrison not only calls Charlotte by her first name, he even demands that she change her outfit. Her humiliation is complete when, after ignoring his advice to put on something more suitable for the summer weather, she faints from the heat. To her utter shame, Charlotte is forced to endure being undressed down to her underthings to cool down, and worse still, Max warns her in no uncertain terms that any further foolishness will earn her a sound spanking on her bare bottom. Yet somehow, despite his threat to chastise her in such a barbaric fashion, Charlotte cannot deny that being in Max's presence sets her heart fluttering like nothing ever has before. Though she may be the feistiest woman he has ever laid eyes on, Max finds himself longing to see more of Charlotte - much more, in fact - and when he discovers that she feels the same way, he sets about courting her. But Weston is a very different place from Boston, and Max makes it clear to Charlotte that he will do whatever needs doing to keep his girl safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a good, hard spanking as often as her behavior warrants it. Charlotte's love for Max grows deeper with each passing day, but she cannot help wondering if he sees her as nothing more than a silly girl in need of his constant protection, and matters come to a head when a violent, hateful man with a grudge against Max seeks to disrupt their lives. Will Charlotte's pride be her undoing, or will she finally get the chance to prove herself to Max? Publisher's note: Fetching Charlotte Rose is an erotic romance novel that contains sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a historical setting. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book. Members Reviews: My favorite so far! First, can I just say, I love Amelia Smarts? She writes the most fun loving, intimate, personal books for us to enjoy. This book brings us Max and Charlotte. Charlotte is the new school marm and Max is sent to pick her up. Immediately, the banter back and forth between the two is instant chemistry. And oh, the first spanking! I love the way Max is with "Charlie". He is so gentle, yet so domineering. Charlotte is completely smitten, yet she just loves to push the limit. Whether an argument or a secret, show knows what the consequence will be, yet she still does it.We also meet Tim, Max's apprentice. What a kid! Learning where he came from, meeting his father and their relationship and what Max has offered this young man, you can't help but be in awe. The three are quite a family, and the obvious love they all have for each other is shown throughout all the plot twists and turns(yes, there are several!). The Ken Solin narrates this story. His voice is perfect for the historical western romance, a better narrator could not be chosen. I can picture each of the characters as he is performing. This book brought a smile to my face, a definite must listen! Sweet western Spanking romance Any additional comments? I'd have to say my favorite part of the book was Max.

There's just one problem: Celestina's intended is an important man, and the king has just as much at stake in her arranged marriage as her father does. Will Brodie be able to do as he's ordered and stay away? Members Reviews: Ok This is ok I like Anthony ferguson. He is not really good with female voices.

Merry Wilding is a lady of breeding, of innocence, and of breathtaking beauty. With high hopes for a holiday in England, she sets sail from New York - but the tide of her life is destined to turn. Mistakenly swept aboard an infamous pirate ship, Merry finds herself at the mercy of a wicked crew...and one sinfully handsome pirate. Soon she's spending her days yearning for escape, and her nights learning the pleasures of captivity. Devon Crandall believes Merry is in league with his greatest enemy. He's determined to slowly urge her secrets from her. But along the way, he discovers her beautifully unbreakable spirit...and a desire unlike any he's ever known. She is hiding something from him, and yet, each day that passes brings her deeper into his heart. When fierce arguments give way to fiercer passion, can a pirate learn to love a woman? Or will true love be lost at sea? Members Reviews: Eloquently Written Pirate Romance This book was written in the 1980's and has become a romance classic. I've read this in the past and I think it's even better with narration. I love historical romances that are written with feeling, detail, character development and good romance....and this book delivered it all for me. It is a fun listen with many story and character twists along the way. This is one of those books where ALL the characters are written so well that they feel multi-dimensional. The characters range from innocent, quirky, silly, mischievous and mysterious. The story takes us on a journey of the classic "damsel in distress" meets "misfit pirates". It is a voyage that historical romance lovers will enjoy. Yes, it's long, but with all its quirky adventure and charm it's definitely worth the time and credit. The narrator did an excellent job with this sweet, funny, exciting, romantic, quirky, mysterious story. This is a must listen for anyone who enjoys a good swashbuckling pirate romance. Great listen; didn't even notice it was so long! "Windflower" was an engrossing listen. It is a WHOPPING 18 hours long, but the narrator moves it along at a good pace, and keeps the energy level appropriate to the story. Although the book gets quite wordy in spots, the story is well-written and my favorite part about it is that the authors incorporate humor into many of the situations. The change of scenery throughout the book (from an estate in America, to taverns, to pirate ships, to remote islands, to the English countryside) kept the plot engaging. Each character is very well-developed, and toward the end of the book, many questions the listener may have about some of the main characters are explained cleverly and eloquently. There were a myriad of characters with wide variances in personalities and each was voiced competently by the narrator, who was consistent in her accents and cadences. She differentiated between each character very well, and voiced the many male characters with surprising agility, which can be challenging for a female narrator. The narrator has a sultry voice, which lends itself well to the suspenseful scenes, and the romance scenes as well. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys a good romance with adventure and humor woven in.

Days of Gold Audiobook by Jude Deveraux

Title: Days of Gold Author: Jude Deveraux Narrator: Davina Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 01-21-11 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 445 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Jude Deveraux returns to her roots in this sweeping historical romance with a dazzling story that spans two continents and unites two people who are separated by class, wealth, and education. In 1766 Scotland, the laird of the clan, Angus McTern, has everything he wants in life. That is, until Edilean Talbot shows up. Breathtakingly beautiful and born of privilege, Edilean represents everything Angus despises. Still, she dazzles him, and when Angus can no longer hide his feelings, she rejects him, leaving him deeply wounded and humiliated. Soon, though, Edilean needs his help to reclaim the gold she inherited from her father. At first Angus refuses, but her haunting beauty and her tears convince him to put aside his pride. However, when Angus tries to intervene, he is accused of kidnapping and theft. To avoid being prosecuted, he must leave behind all that he knows and escape with Edilean to America. There they will overcome almost insurmountable obstacles as the man who claims the gold for his own endlessly pursues them. Despite all that tries to keep them apart, Angus and Edilean also find a love as wild and free as the land itself. Filled with passion, humor, exquisite detail, and pulse-pounding adventure, Days of Goldis Jude Deveraux at her best. Critic Reviews: "After dozens of novels, Deveraux has a sure hand evoking plucky heroines, dastardly villains and irresistible heroes, as well as a well-rounded supporting cast the pace moves quickly and the romance sparks with enough voltage to keep readers turning pages." ( Publishers Weekly) "With the promise of future books about surprising and interesting Edilean, veteran storyteller Deveraux incorporates her trademark sweet and salty characters into a pair of entertaining romances, one past, one present, to create one of her most fun and pleasing tales." ( Booklist) "Family ties, small town values and unexpected love in a picturesque settings have made Deveraux a longtime bestselling author, so it's no surprise that she again delivers.... Readers will find it hard to resist the charms of Edilean, the manor house, the town, the woman of many secrets and, of course, the series to come." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Days of Gold Any additional comments? This is one of the better Jude Devereaux romances. The chemistry between lead characters is great. Although there is adult content, I wouldn't hesitate for a teen interested in historical romance to read. I'm not sure where this story fits in the chronology of exactly when it was released in the series by Devereaux, but it is the background story of the town named Edeline This town appears in Lavender Morning, and if I'd known, I would have read Days of Gold first. The real star in this story is the reader, Davina Porter. She is, hands down, my favorite female reader and I have no doubt I enjoyed the story partially because of her narration. Her diction is superb, the male voices excellent. I highly recommend anyone interested in the world of audio books listen to Davina at least once. In addition to Devereaux books, Davina Porter is the reader for the Outlander series by Gabaldon. The lead male character in Days of Gold is a man named Angus. He has the same voice as Jamie in the Outlander books ...

At his father's bidding, Cade MacKenzie begs a favor from Laird Macrae: Lady MacKenzie desperately needs the renowned Macrae midwife. Laird Macrae has no intention of sending his clan's best; instead he passes off Elsie, a young woman with little experience, as the midwife they seek. But fate - in the form of a mysterious older woman and an extraordinary pocket watch - steps in. Elizabeth Quinn, a disillusioned obstetrician, is transported to the 13th century. She switched souls with Elsie as the old woman said she would, but other things don't go quite as expected. Perhaps most unexpected is falling in love with Cade MacKenzie. Members Reviews: Great Series Ceci Giltenan is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. The 2 books in this series are the only books she's penned I have listen to but I've thoroughly enjoyed both. I think I like The Midwife even more than "The Pocket Watch". Ms Giltenan puts a unique twist to time travel. In "The Midwife" Dr. Elizabeth Quinn meets a mysterious older woman on an airplane who makes her an unbelievable offer; to be transported back in time. Of course Elizabeth does not believe it, but she is so tired from being on-call the night before delivering babies much like an assembly line, and having to finalize her presentation for a professional meeting in new York, she accepts an antique pocket watch for time travel more to get rid of the older woman than believing she can travel back in time, but tells the old woman she will try it. The snow storm that delayed landing at JFK Airport worsens after landing and when Elizabeth takes a Taxi to her hotel room they are involved in a several car pile-up on the way. She is knocked unconscious in the accident and wakes up in the 13th Century being dragged into a castle to face a dangerous Laird who orders her to pay attendance on the wife of a Laird of another Clan. An interesting story perfectly narrated by Paul Woodson. Excellent... I adore the pocket watch series! This one included a twist I couldn't have anticipated too. Medieval men and headstrong smart women... so good! Narrator: Paul Woodson will never be known for the soft delicacy of a young woman's voice, it's not in his repertoire! But everything else is and that much is worth every moment. Heat Factor: Pretty much non existent but it totally did not matter! Chemistry evident, sex absent. Creditworthy? Oh yes!!!! Excellent Story....Worth every cent!! I haven't had a story to bring me to tears for months. Go glad I found this jewel, the reviews are spot on. Love,friendship, honor, hope this book has all this and more. The Midwife What a very delightful blend of the past and the present! Cecil Giltenan never disappoints and has captivated my attention with this wonderful book! In-depth characters, a creative paranormal romance with a twist, and all set in the beauty and majesty of Scotland. Paul Woodson is a very talented and skilled narrator as well. I have bought and listened to many of his audio book recordings and enjoyed his professionalism and talent every time. This is one I'd recommend to anyone. The romantic scenes were written and performed very tastefully. Now, on to the next book in the series. Perfect escape! Loved the characters & storyline.

Taking on a job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly finds that teaching her four ill-mannered charges at a grand estate is more challenging than expected. Widowed and left to care for his two young children and his deceased cousin's two teenage girls, William Ramsey is consumed with saving the estate from financial ruin. The last thing he needs is any distraction coming from the kindhearted-yet-determined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his household with her persuasive personality. Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their families-common ground that proves fertile for unexpected feelings. But will William choose Julia's steadfast heart and faith over the wealth and power he needs to secure Highland Hall's future? Critic Reviews: "A heartwarming tale." (RT Book Reviews) Members Reviews: a book I did not want to put down a good story with an admirable heroine, more than one villain to hate, and an ending I could live with. and I did not have to sacrifice language, morals, or any other solid values. I would read more from this author and narrator, definitely! Absolutely loved this book!! I absolutely loved this book! Great story! Sweet Romance and Inspiring walk with the Lord! Very enjoyable! Good story, not such a great narrator What made the experience of listening to The Governess of Highland Hall the most enjoyable? Good enjoyable story, and not ruined by too many Americanisms, as can be the problem with books of this genre by American authors. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I liked the story but was not so keen on the narrator, and I don't think a person with an Indian accent was such a great choice. I appreciate that one of the characters had lived in India, but I don't think she did a great job with the accents and the pronunciation. Good listen Interesting storyline. Reminded me a lot of Downton Abby. My only complaint: Narrators interpretation of the male voices made them all sound like gruff old men instead of dapper gentlemen and she also struggled with an American accent. However, still very enjoyable and good story. Lovved it!! Great story & excellent narator. Thank you for a clean heart warming book. Looking forward to the next bk in the series.

Corbin is the quietest of the Jonquil brothers and has always faded into the background, contentedly unnoticed. When a mysterious young widow, Mrs. Clara Bentford, moves into the neighborhood, however, Corbin quickly comes to realize that being noticed has its advantages. But how to catch the eye of the lady? According to his brothers, Corbin need only make a few simple changes to transform himself into the object of any woman's desire - dubious advice, indeed. Following a series of misadventures, Corbin and Clara slowly lower the facades behind which they've been hiding, leaving Corbin shocked by the horrors that haunt the woman he's coming to care for so ardently. When the menace of Clara's past threatens to tear them apart and tensions mount, will the couple have the courage to fight for the promise of forever? Members Reviews: Good clean story A nice easy listen. I appreciated the clean content and the clean language. I have had to return so many books lately because of foul language. Other than the odd pronunciation of Clara which the narrator pronounced "Claw-ra", he did an excellent job and aided in the enjoyment of the story without bringing attention to himself as the narrator.

I was thrilled to find the audiobook available and listened to it. The narrator, Jason Tatom, did a fabulous job. I hope he does other audiobooks in this series. I love the Jonquil brothers. They are such a fun and interesting family, each so unique and vulnerable in their own ways. I'm really hoping the publisher will get the rest of the books out on audiobook on Audible soon. Corbin. Such a great guy. Love him to death. And how he handles Clara's little charges (daughter and nephew) is precious. I love it so much when a big, strong guy can be so tender and gentle. And tender and gentle is just what Clara needs as well after all the horror she's gone through. Eden always does a fabulous job making her character fragile and broken in their own ways. She engages my heart and makes me ache for them. Listen Again and Again What did you love best about As You Are? As a reserved person myself, I loved the characters in As You Are.

The very first moment she saw 12-year-old Duncan McKenzie, she told God and her pony that she was going to marry that boy. He was handsome. He was kind. He was strong and smart and all the good things a boy should be. For 13 years she loved him with every beat of her heart. And on her 16th birthday he walked away from her father's ranch, and from her. He didn't look back over his shoulder. Not even once. And from that day forward, Catherine Evans swore off all men. Her heart turned to stone, her will to iron, and her vow to God changed. She'd run her father's ranch. She'd succeed. She'd survive. And she would never, ever love another man as long as she lived. Duncan McKenzie left the ranch 10 years ago, desperate to escape temptation in the form of a budding young lady too innocent to claim for his own. But Catherine's frightened father summons him home. The ranch is under attack and the old man's stubborn daughter refuses to seek help. Duncan left a sweet young girl behind a decade ago. He returns to a defiant siren, a woman whose heart is as wild as the land she would sacrifice her life to protect. When Catherine's father coerces her into marrying Duncan, the fire in her eyes spells trouble, but it's the kind of trouble Duncan has no desire to resist. Marriage is the only way he can protect her. Especially when Duncan's own past comes calling in the form of one extremely dangerous and vengeful outlaw, Catherine's cowardly enemies want the ranch badly enough to kill for it, and his reluctant bride is very much in their way. Members Reviews: if you like historical western romance, read this! this book was well written and performed fairly well. The characters were great and I look forward to hearing about them in more books to come. She wrapped up a story but left it open for more which is always great Love 2nd chance stories Any additional comments? This was an audio that pulled me in it is full of danger, mystery and overcoming the lose of the one who walked away. There is nothing like your first and only love walking away breaking your heart that is so strong you vow to never love again. This is the first book I have listen/read of Ms. Woolf's I enjoyed it so much I found a few more at a bargain and bought them as well. I loved the love/hate going on with this couple, along with the plot, the characters are strong, they fight hard and love even harder. The author gives you some pretty heated scenes but stays in the guidelines of the values from that time period. This was a time when a person word meant something, promise were kept and a man stood beside his word. I totally enjoyed this audio. Catherine fell in love with Duncan when she was but a child at age 16 he got on his horse and rode out of her life. She watched him leave with tears in her eyes swearing never to love again. That day changed her she started living only for the ranch her heart grew cold it turned to stone. She began hard as she took on the ranch she had a will of iron no one or nothing would get in her way. She kept this vow until the day Duncan walked by in her life 10 years later when trouble and danger comes to the ranch with one man demanding she marry him who has plans of his own.

Luck is a double-edged sword for brooding war hero Rhys St. Maur. His death wish went unanswered on the battlefield, while fate allowed the murder of his good friend in the elite gentlemens society known as the Stud Club. Out of options, Rhys returns to his ancestral home on the moors of Devonshire, expecting anything but a chance at redemption in the arms of a beautiful innkeeper who dares him to take on the demons of his past - and the sweet temptation of a womans love. Meredith Maddox believes in hard work, not fate, and romance isnt part of her plan. But when Rhys returns, battle-scarred, world-weary, and more dangerously attractive than ever, the lovely widow is torn between determination and desire. As a deep mystery and dangerous smugglers threaten much more than their passionate reckoning, Meredith discovers that she must trust everything to a wager her heart placed long ago. Members Reviews: A good solid listen...steamy & centered on the H&H I see after reading the second book in the series...the books are very centered on the relationship between the H & H. I personally like that. Dare does a good job building the relationship. There isn't much more of a side story...there is one....but it doesn't overpower the relationship side of the story. But I will say...there was quite a twist near the end. I liked this book. It was good...not earth shattering...but good. The sex scenes are pretty steamy. Meredith is a great character. Dare seems to be pretty good at writing her female characters. Not the best Tessa Dare I have read/listened to all of Ms. Dare's books but this one was slow going. The very few steamy scenes were alright but not as good as they normally are in her books. Storyline wasn't bad but didn't keep my interest at all times. Not Tessa Dare's best work This is the first book by Tessa Dare that wasn't a page turner for me, it was a struggle to finish the book. The story was flat and the characters were just too weak to hold my attention. Their passion was all contained in the first 2 chapters and after that the fire just seemed to go out between the hero and heroine and it didn't really seem to matter if they ever got together. It's a pity really as Tessa Dare is one of my favourite writers. This was a chore to finish I almost don't know what to say. I'm a fan of Tessa Dare. I've enjoyed her historicals and I was looking forward to this next book in the Stud Club story. But this book was almost painful to listen to. Even the fabulous Rosalyn Landor's narration may have added to my discomfort. Her interpretation of Rhys' voice made him seem always grumpy and curt. I don't know if I would have understood him to be that way if I were reading the words instead of listening. In any case, he was not at all likeable and I almost stopped reading. I found the story dull and the characters flat. It was very disappointing. This was a 2.5 in my opinion. Even the best author can have a bad day. Not A Chore At All.. Pleasant book to listen to but obviously a second in the trilogy. Narration was fine and easy to listen to. I hope the third book is available soon!

His humble origins are enough of a hurdle, never mind his recent decision to defend a group of weavers accused of treason, prompting speculation that he may harbour radical sympathies. The last thing he should be doing is agreeing to help the brother of one of the convicted weavers find the government agent who caused his brother's downfall. David's personal life is no more successful. Tormented by his forbidden desires for other men, and the painful memories of the childhood friend he once loved, David tries his hardest to live a celibate existence, castigating himself whenever his resolve slips. But then into David's repressed and orderly world bursts Lord Murdo Balfour. Cynical, hedonistic, and utterly unapologetic, Murdo could not be less like David. Whilst David refuses to entertain the prospect of entering into a loveless marriage for propriety's sake, Murdo is determined to wed one day - and has no intention of giving up the company of other men when he does so. But as appalled as David is by Murdo's unrepentant self-interest, he cannot resist the man's sway. Murdo tempts and provokes David in equal measure, distracting him from his promise to find the agent provocateur responsible for the weavers' fate, and forcing him to acknowledge his physical desires. But is Murdo more than a mere distraction? Is it possible he could be the very man David is looking for? Members Reviews: Moving Historical romanance with a bite. I really enjoyed the build up between characters and can't wait for the next installment. The narration was clear and easily followed and a little sexy. This book was not light and fluffy, it touched on darker subjects and kept the listener engaged. Well worth the time and money to listen. A Romantic or Idealist Where does Provoked rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The story is wonderful. The narrator really helped with the enjoyment of listening. I enjoyed that each character had a different tone/voice so it was really easy to keep up with who was who. Which scene was your favorite? Without giving to much away... I really like the whole conversation between David and Balfour during their walk after their second time meeting. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There are a few moments, but the last scene leading up to the last kiss. The emotions and passion from both gentleman every time they are together is really beautiful. Any additional comments? David and Balfour can really learn so much from each other and I cant wait to see how their relationship turns out. I really hope Hamish McKenleay continues to read the other books in the series.I was a little shocked that this is a HFN but excited I don't have to wait long to continue since the rest of the series is out. Very good! I must finish the series! What made the experience of listening to Provoked the most enjoyable? The story was engrossing from the very beginning. I never felt bored or wanted to stop listening. What was one of the most memorable moments of Provoked? The end floored me. I don't typically read (or listen to) much in the way of historical romance, so I didn't realize this was the first book in a series. While the end wasn't exactly a cliffhanger, I felt disappointed.

Feisty, quick tongued, and smart, Margaret Robinson is delighted when her father receives a messenger from the king...until she discovers what news he brings. In a sennight she will wed the notorious Black Knight. Her life is about to end. Tension builds during the wedding and deteriorates from there until an accident draws them together. Just when their love begins to blossom, a dire request arrives from the pope. Colin must join the crusades at once. Their fragile love is forced to withstand the seductions of hell: Margaret tempted by a scoundrel laird, Colin courted by Satan himself. Aye, the war for Christendom could very well ruin their dreams forever. Members Reviews: no fluff included Very well done! At one point I had to remind myself that this is a romance novel and everything would come out ok. I dislike novels that are so full of history that they are more like non fictional historical texts rather than a romance novel... but this story wove the two together brilliantly. But the history was by far a driving force that consumes much of this book. Hero and villain and a strong but trusting maiden are each richly written and portrayed. The heroine is smart strong woman and the men are... men! Both author and narrator delivered. Worth a credit? Yes. Heat factor? High yet very little time was spent on it. Heat was not the driving force of this book. If you want a typical highland romance.... all hot highlander and sexual tension with lots of fluff and a little strife then skip this one. A Dose Of 1455 AD This book is based on the legend of Lord Colin Campbell the first Lord of Glenorchy. The author unfolds a story that has a believeable balance of romance and history in 1455 AD. The struggles that Colin and Margaret face, both together and separate. were real and not forced. Their passion, love and compassion for each other, their family and friends was sweet and steadfast. Because this story is based on real people. you get the sense that the romance between Colin and Margaret was more genuine than many typical romance novels. After all, arranged marriages were commonplace back then and people sacrificed happiness for duty or security. The combination of love and passion had to be quite rare and cherished when found. Also, the pace of time was a lot slower. It wasn't uncommon to be separated from a spouse for years at a time. In our time, most of us wouldn't have the patience. If you are looking for an inconsequential romance novel don't bother with this one. Its worth a credit if you are in the mood for a dose of real romance in 1455 AD. ;-) A fascinating, well-crafted, gut-gripping story Any additional comments? The author has outdone herself on this one. It was unbelievably awesome in every respect and very moving. She starkly brought to life this part of history with its perils and danger. These highland people lived harsh lives with much heartache. The story, as told, had me experiencing the impossibly severe environment they had to endure.

Members Reviews: Another Twist on Wicked Nobleman What made the experience of listening to She Tempts the Duke the most enjoyable? I found this book to have a different twist to most books of this type and by Heath. The listen was exciting and suspenseful. What other book might you compare She Tempts the Duke to and why? I would compare this book to Heath's In Bed with the Devil but only loosely. What about Faye Adeles performance did you like? Adele does a good job narrating this book. Her voice was full of emotion and inflection. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The book does purge the emotions, so if you are a crier keep the tissues close. Any additional comments? The series is worth the investment as the purchaser will want to listen to them over and over. VT. FAN I love Lorraine Heath and this is the first of a great trilogy with action ,romance and suspense.. Faye Adele is fabulous as the narrator of all 3 audio books..She is terrific with both male and female voices as well as children's voices.. Unlike some of the narrators chosen for Ms. Heath's audio books where the 19 or 20 year old female lead sounds like 40, and the 20 early 30 male leads sounds 80 you will not be disappointed with Faye Adele narration. It is perfect.. BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY!! Where does She Tempts the Duke rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? at the top What was one of the most memorable moments of She Tempts the Duke? The beginning when the brothers return at the Ball 12yrs later after there escape!!

Mary Wynne- Jones If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Three Brothers in the Tower Any additional comments? I loved She Tempts the Duke!!

Honoring her mothers promise, Tiffany reluctantly travels west to meet her estranged father and his enemys eldest son, rancher Hunter Callahan.

By assuming the identity of her fathers new housekeeper she can live with the father she never knew and assess his true character, as well as that of the neighboring cowboy to whom she is betrothed. But, too late, Tiffany discovers that the rivalry between the Warrens and the Callahans has escalated when the Callahans steal the Warrens housekeeper as soon as she steps off the train! Now, Tiffany, who is pretending to be Jennifer Fleming, finds herself living in the enemy camp, under the same roof as her fiancé. All too soon she learns her intended is a handsome, sweet-talking charmer whom she has to fight off because he cant keep his eyes - or his hands - off Jennifer.

Members Reviews: Hard To Finish I had a hard time connecting with this audiobook and it's a hard one for me to rate, because it had a cute storyline and could have been entertaining IF it didn't move so slowly. I had to stop listening to it several times, becoming irritated at it's slow pace. It seemed to take forever to reach the end of the book. Meridith Mitchell performed well, yet did not pull me into the story, as some narrators have the ability to do... or maybe it was just the book. My overall rating is less than satisfactory. couldn't put this story down loved the story. it had many twists and turns. great characters. I like the style. Just LOVED it!!! I love JL's books. Her skill of writing is amazing. Started reading her at the age of 13 and 17 years later, still perfect! This novel just reminds me why I love her stories so much! Listening to it just made my day! Her voice was wonderful portraying each character. Love in the Wild West I love this book. The sceeming throughout the story gives it life. It's almost like reading 4 books at once. You have 4 or more love stories happening at once, killings, train robberies, & kidnappings. You will love this book!!!!!! not a bad read not bad once you get into it. good for a holiday read but i wouldn't pay a lot for it.

Oh, all right. I'll chase you if you like." He started to get up, changed his mind, and slumped back against the pillow. "Only it's such a bother." Catherine Pelliston has just escaped a forced marriage to an obnoxious friend of her unreliable father; and now she's truly in the soup; kidnapped and helpless in a London brothel! And though she's been rescued by the very inebriated Max Demowery, Viscount Rand, she may be in even greater danger of falling in love with the shockingly outrageous, scandalously improper Viscount Vagabond! Members Reviews: Good book; horrid production I love Loretta Chase's books. Going back to Her early work is fun. This audiobook suffered from a tremendously bad production. It sounded like it had been recorded over the phone and there was often no differentiation for a section/ chapter change and that caused some confusion. Stevie Zimmerman did a good job with the narration but the sound quality was pathetic. The book itself was great. I love the humor that Chase injects into her books. Always a pleasure to find another of her books. Excellent story but not great audio production. I'm very upset that the production quality was so poor. I ADORE Loretta Chase and her sublime story telling. The sound quality was very bad and the recordings of the main hero made him sound like he was shouting. I was half way through the story before I was able to "get into it" and not be so distracted by the sound quality. And of course, once a Loretta Chase story grabs you it's wonderful. Probably could've been a 5 star story if I hadn't been so distracted. I immediately listened to book #2 while I was still accustomed to the production quality. But bottom line is I'd rather have poor production quality than no new Loretta Chase audiobook so I'll take whatever Audible's offering. She's too great a story teller to ignore. Loved this book What did you love best about Viscount Vagabond? Just like all of Loretta Chases' books I have read so far, Viscount Vagabond is witty. The characters are fantastic and the narrator is excellent. I found myself laughing out loud at several points throughout this book. Not her best. Audio recording was poor. not sure characters were meant for each other until the end. Cute The story was simple and cute. It wasn't the greatest novel I've ever read, but I did thoroughly enjoy it.

Lachlan plans to use her as a weapon against her father, but Venetia is determined that his lust for revenge will be trumped by an even more powerful desire.... Critic Reviews: Irresistible... Larger-than-life characters, sprightly dialogue, and a steamy romance will draw you into this delicious captive/captor tale." (Romantic Times) Members Reviews: Amazing This is my favorite Sabrina Jeffries book and hearing the characters come to life was refreshing. I loved it. Best book of the Series This one has the best storyline and great heart. Venetia's and Lochlan love shines through even when they don't see it. Cute Story Any additional comments? Good listen. Kept my attention throughout. The story was not quite as formulaic as many of the Highland romance stories. Lachlan is a strong strapping Highland lad and Venetia is a feisty Scottish lass, raised in England. She is not as hard to deal with as many of the heroines are in these type romances. I liked the chemistry between the two and I believe that is what made the story engaging. The reader was okay - not bad but not outstanding. Nice story This was supposed to be in the Scottish Highlands but the narrator had a cockney accent. It almost drove me nuts to listen to it. It would have been a much better listen if she used her normal English accent. Because of the narrator's awful version of a Scottish accent I only gave two stars for performance. It was a nice story but terrible narrating. The kidnap Very funny lines I enjoyed it, love the accents done very well. Lots of little cliff one of the best in the series so far.

A beguiling story by Miss Caldwell with deep characterization and a story line that will keep you up late into the night. Wonderful performance by Tim Campbell. Needed a Tim fix! If you could sum up Beguiled by a Baron in three words, what would they be? Formulaic Christi Caldwell What was one of the most memorable moments of Beguiled by a Baron? The heroine did not falter in adversity and took her lumps when she was discovered. Chose her child over all. Have you listened to any of Tim Campbells other performances before? How does this one compare? All of them by Christi Caldwell. Frankly, I started another series where Tim read the last four books in the succession but, not Book 1. I needed a break as I graved Tim's performances and his ability to do any character and give us the deep voice hero. Going back to muddle through... If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Maybe on the BBC, Rapunzel. A lovely story I really loved this story. It had my full attention right from the beginning as it was full of intrigue and romance. Great characters and a good narrator making it a very easy listen.

It had great plot, interesting characters with strong female heroines. I have listened to nearly all of LeVeque's books. This ranks high amongst all her medieval romance novels. However it is unfortunate that the audible does not have the epilogue which ties the package in a neat bundle. I was able to read the epilogue in kindle because I bought it very cheap before I found it in Audible. I was able to find out about this omission through one of the reviews and I am glad. Heart throbbing.... Exasperating and fascinating......wish Epilogue had been included in the narration. After all their troubles, dangers and tribulations, Alex and Peyton deserve the Kindle Epilogue in the Audible excellent narration! Definitely another palpitating KLV romantic novel. Audible version did NOT include the EPILOGUE!! Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I find that on some books Audible does not bother to record the entire book leaving the story prematurely ended. It is unfair for audible customers to then have buy the same book from Amazon to finish the story. This has happened several times with KLV's books. The story is good but unfinished unless you have the Kindle version. I will make a complaint to Audible and ask for a return of my credit as I did not receive the entire book and had to pay for the Kindle version. KLV did a fine job on the story but was let down by the editing and producing folks and Audible.com. Author should'a finished it. Any additional comments? I always enjoy B.Gill as a narrator although there were a few times when his stand in distracted from the story. The story itself was pretty good. The were a lot of parallel story lines which made it quite interesting...and then it was over. The reader is left NOT knowing what happened to anyone except the villains. Disappointing. A very good read! Another Le Verque winner. I enjoyed the story from the start to finish. The only couple of problems I had with it was that the ending was too neatly and quickly wrapped up when the rest took so long to build and the narration. Brian Gill read the entire book very fast and with a higher pitch. The narration fit well for exciting scenes but fell short with the rest.

But a more fearful secret lurks within its storm-tossed turrets. For every bride who enters its forbidding walls is doomed to leave in a casket. Nicoletta knows all too well the curse that plagues the house of Scarletti. She has always believed her miraculous healing gifts would set her apart and that no man would ever command her. Then she gazes into the dark, mesmerizing eyes of Don Scarletti and she fears for her future - for it is Scarletti's ancient right to select a bride from among his people...and he has chosen her. Compelled by duty, driven by burning, inescapable desire, Nicoletta surrenders to this powerful, hypnotic man, giving her body willingly into his keeping. But will the tormented don be her heart's destiny...or her soul's destruction? Members Reviews: Very good standalone offshoot of the Dark series 4 stars This was a very good story. I liked both Nicoletta and Giovanni and found their story to be well written and engaging. This doesn't really seem to have a tie to the Carpathians in the Dark series but both Giovanni and Nicoletta have certain "abilities" that may mean they had Carpathian ancestry. Nicoletta is a young woman that serves as the healer for the village where she grew up. Her father was killed when she was too young to know him but her mother and aunt raised her with love until they both died. Since then, she's been mothered by another village woman, Maria Pia. Don Giovanni Scarletti is the head of a family that's plagued by a curse. Many women and even some men have died in the last decade or 2 in his family home and there's an evil pall over it that's hard to escape. Giovanni never planned to marry because of the curse but when he meets Nicoletta for the first time, he's lost and is determined that they're meant to be together and that he will claim her as his. Maria Pia was the village's midwife but Nicoletta has much better healing skills, some that are mystical enough that she could be branded a witch and killed for it. Nicoletta's village has always protected her secret and Maria Pia plays the senior healer while Nicoletta acts like the simpleminded assistant whenever they go outside of their village to heal someone. As this story begins, Nicoletta and Maria Pia have been called to the Don's home because of an illness. They get there to find the Don and his niece, Sophie, are both terribly sick. Nicoletta is able to determine that something was tainted in some soup they both ate and is able to heal them. Unfortunately, (at least in Nicolett'a opinion) this leads to Giovanni wanting to marry her and invoking the marriage covenant that allows the Don to claim any un-claimed woman in the local villages as his wife. Nicoletta had already been skirting the advances of a couple of young men from her village and she truly had no interest in getting married. She had her garden in the hills and her healing and was perfectly content with that. When Giovanni claims Nicoletta, she's freaked at the idea of living in such a horrible place and she gets claustrophobia just thinking about it. Regardless of her fears, Giovanni wont let her go and she moves to his home and becomes his wife. There are multiple intrigues going on and it's hard for Nicoletta to know who to trust and if Giovanni is among the trustworthy.

I liked the series, good plots, believable characters but the narrator didn't suit this story. He made the hero sound gruff and not very attractive at all. better then book 2 What made the experience of listening to To Tempt the Devil the most enjoyable? I loved it much better then book 2. What did you like best about this story? narrator is ok but some people don't seem to like him but i do. Which character as performed by Michael Page was your favorite? Rafe Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? NO Entertaining 3.5 stars I have enjoyed the whole series. They are easy to listen too but I would not listen to them again. I found this book a bit slow at times and not as steamy as the other books. As good as the other hawkesbury books Found the narrator immensely amusing, well done. I could not help laughing at the swagger and bravado he bought to the narration of the book. Hamming it up or not, it was a thoroughly good romp! The essence of the book is the same as the other Hawkesbury books and likely would read the same, the narrator of this one completely changed the experience compared to the other two Hawkesbury books which are read by a woman in a more romantic young lady style.

Ever the bold adventuress, Lucy Waltham has decided to go hunting for a husband. But first she needs some target practice. So she turns to her brother's best friend, Jeremy Trescott, the Earl of Kendall, to hone her seductive wiles on him before setting her sights on another man.

He keeps a safe distance from his own emotions, but to distract Lucy from her reckless scheming, he must give his passions free rein. Their sensual battle of wills is as maddening as it is delicious, but the longer he succeeds in managing the headstrong temptress, the closer Jeremy comes to losing control. When scandal breaks, can he bring himself to abandon Lucy to her ruin? Or will he risk his heart and claim her for his own? Members Reviews: Ruined by poor narration Setting: Regency era England I don't know if I can adequately review this audio book, since the narration and production were so bad. I guess the characters were interesting, and there were actually a couple of humorous moments. There was character growth as well. However, there were several places in the narrative where the story could have been wrapped up, but it just kept going on with almost willful misunderstanding and angst. I guess I'll have to read it in print. If only they had gotten someone like Roslyn Landor to do the reading! It was so distracting it was difficult to truly follow the story line - maybe this book is better than my experience, since I listened to and enjoyed the other Tessa Dare novel available at this site at this time. I likely will NOT give this a repeat listen. Dreadful, slow, awful reading ruins great tale Is there anything you would change about this book? The reader. Poor Tessa Dare wrote a lively, witty and very entertaining romance, which the reader has utterly ruined in her prissy, ponderous, overly slow, oddly articulated reading. It's as if she were reading it for the simple minded or English-as-second-language students. Who was your favorite character and why? Both hero and heroine. He's a rake and friend of the heroine's older brother, she's in love with another of her brother's friends and trying to practice her 'wiles' on the rake. How did the narrator detract from the book? See above. If this isn't her first job, let it please be her last. Any additional comments? Read the book, avoid this audiobook, it will detract from your enjoyment of the author's ready and very sly wit. Such a delightful story deserves an equally deft, and droll performance. This is a do-over for me. I regret I cannot get a refund, I'm that annoyed. Reviews were right, narration was terrible! Is there anything you would change about this book? The story was okay, although I don't think I could fairly judge it given that the horrible narration was so distracting. It was slow, and painful, and at several points I really thought I'd just give up on it. horrible reader I have listened to over 300 books... this one was the first that I made myself keep listening because of poor reading. She can't even read a full sentence with out some weird pause... don't think she is a native english speaker...

The Lady Travelers Guide series is unique and very entertaining! In this second installment, we follow Lady Wilhelmina who was a bit of an airhead in her younger days (a Regency era Paris Hilton comes to mind). She was rudely awakened to how things work in "real life" after her husband unexpectedly dies and leaves her penniless. The majority of the story is spent with Lady Wilhelmina leading a tour group of female Americans across Europe so she can eventually get to Venice where she can retrieve a famous painting that her husband used as collateral for a loan. She hopes to sell the painting so she can be secure in her future. What she doesn't expect is a handsome fellow to travel along with the tour group who makes her want to abandon her vow to avoid relying on men at anytime in the future. Marian Hussey narrated and she did a wonderful job. Brava!

Ireland instead of Scotland and leine instead of kilt.... Still the perfect medieval romance a time travel legacy that makes it truly unique. Excellent performance by Jane Jacobs. No sex but true chemistry. Definitely creditworthy! A True Highlander Romance with a twist This was a good time travel romance. It was what I would call a true romance with only one situation that had "relations". Saying that, the book was well written with an interesting plot with different twist and turns. This was well worth a credit. loved it the story moved at a quick pace and I loved the humor found through out TV he telling. I can't wait to listen to the next book! wow..... Oh wow absolutely loved this book, I do enjoy a good steamy scene once in awhile. this book has none, but you still feel the romance, live and connection without all the steamy scenes. great story! can't wait to get the next! Lack of details like watching black n white tv Which 21st Century person time travels and doesn't marvel at all difference in the 15th century? A mother sees her daughter for the first time in more than 2 decades and no reaction or even visits or keeps in touch. If u have not read authors who can transform u then u will love this book series but if u like details that help u visualizes Ireland in in the 15 th century this author missed the mark.

Temptation and Surrender Audiobook by Stephanie Laurens

Title: Temptation and Surrender Subtitle: A Cynster Novel Author: Stephanie Laurens Narrator: Roz Landor Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-09 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 284 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: But now he's restless and bored with the mindless frivolity and careless pleasure, so it's with a sense of relief that he takes up the reins of his family's estate in rural Devon. His most pressing need is to hire a new manager for the inn; the center of village life. Such a small task, yet he discovers few decent applicants are willing to live in a quiet country backwater. Then genteel but impoverished Miss Emily Beauregard applies for the position. Jonas's initial response is an emphatic "no!" Ladies, especially one as attractive as Emily, belong in the ballroom or the bedroom, not running an inn. But with no alternatives, he grudgingly allows Emily to try, and she rapidly proves herself worthy, resurrecting the inn with tact and skill. But Emily has a secret. It's not only the need to provide for herself and her orphaned siblings that has brought her to Devon. She's surreptitiously searching for a family treasure hidden in the village, the only clues to its location a cryptic rhyme handed down through the generations. Emily is determined to solve the puzzle, find the treasure, and reinstate her family to its rightful place in society. But Em hasn't bargained on Jonas. His experience is temptation, his attentions irresistible, and he's determined to aid her in her quest. He eventually persuades her to trust him, and together they unravel the clues. But someone else is watching, waiting, and once the family legacy is unearthed, the villain strikes, threatening Em, her family, and the love she and Jonas have discovered in each other's arms. Editorial Reviews: At first sounding prim and proper, like the British gentry she depicts in this Regency romance, Rosalyn Landor quickly shows why she's an award-winning narrator. She convincingly portrays terrified 10-year-old girls, ardent lovers, nefarious kidnappers, and disgruntled relatives. As the passion between innkeeper Emily Beauregard and gentleman Jonas Tallent threatens to boil over, Landor's even pacing serves to increase the anticipation. Landor usually brings just the right tone to each character's voice and delivers an overall impressive performance. Members Reviews: Way too long Typical writing by Laurens except that in this novel the plot is relatively thin, it's clear where we're headed almost from the first page, and it just plain takes too long to get there. I'm all for romance and sex, but when a single kiss lasts for 30 min of audio, that's overkill. The lead male is a little thin, and his path to falling for the heroine isn't fleshed out well. In contrast, the heroine is better developed, although she seems a little too adamant about the usual plot device of "aristocracy" and "commoner" falling in love.

Ravaged by grief after a car crash took his cherished wife and unborn child, Chase Tyler had abandoned his family business. He'd hit the rodeo circuit and the bars with equal disregard for his life, unwilling to face his pain and move on--until a bad-tempered bull and a lady from the past forced him to.... All she wanted was his love... Marcie Johns had known Chase all her life, had been driving the car when it crashed and his wife was killed. She still wondered if Chase blamed her for his loss. But she was willing to gamble her pride and happiness to give the man she'd adored since childhood something to live for. When she offered Chase a brazen proposition to save his company, he was shocked by her plan--and he hated himself for being tempted by the fire smoldering in her gorgeous eyes! Could a once-shy bookworm seduce the rugged cowboy of her dreams into letting her love heal his heart? Critic Reviews: "Lively... some of her very best [writing]... the strong plot is heightened by Ms. Brown's trademark sensuality." (Rave Reviews) Members Reviews: draws you into the raw emotions i love all of Sandra browns books and this book pulls at your heart. You can really feel the torn emotions of this book and wonder how you would react. Story keeps you reading and hoping. loved it Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes very good book tugged at the heart. What other book might you compare Texas! Chase to and why? brides of prairie gold,,was also a book of lonely people looking for love and acceptance. Which scene was your favorite? when she was in the hospital and he knew he loved her.. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? the book was very good with good story line. great series Would you consider the audio edition of Texas! Chase to be better than the print version? I only listened to the book and I enjoyed it, as I do with most audio books. Makes them come alive Loved it Another best for Sandra Brown, Narrator was great too. I love to listen to all of her books. Huge fan of Sandra Brown but this book was a big disappointment I've read and/or listened to 90% of Sandra Browns books. This is the first one that I could barely finish and only did in the hopes it would get better. The lead male is a self centered jerk that had me feeling disgusted most of the time. Not worth the credit or time.

An Affair with a Notorious Heiress Audiobook by Lorraine Heath

Title: An Affair with a Notorious Heiress Author: Lorraine Heath Narrator: Helen Lloyd, Antony Ferguson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The son of a duke and an infamous mother, Alistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton, fought his way to respectability. Now the most eligible bachelor in London, marriage-shy Rexton will take only a wife with an impeccable reputation, good breeding, and a penchant for staying out of the gossip sheets. But when he strikes a deal to be seen "courting" a sweet young debutante whose notorious older sister has blemished her chances for marriage, Rexton is unexpectedly drawn to the highly inappropriate, calamitous Tillie, Lady Landsdowne herself. After a scandalous incident that sent shock waves throughout society and disgraced her, Tillie refuses to cower in the face of the ton. Instead she will hold her head high as she serves as chaperone for her younger sister, but Tillie is convinced Rexton's courtship is shrouded with secrets - ones she vows to uncover. However, doing so requires getting dangerously close to the devilishly handsome and forbidden marquess. Members Reviews: Disappointing. I waited for this to become available and was disappointed with it. Most of these stories are similar in that the hero and heroine have some problems but work through them and end up HEA. The fun comes in the humor and with the narration which neither were present in this novel. The narrator put me to sleep. I remember the author's earlier novels being fun and entertaining. The heroine needed to get off the pity pot. All in all, the whole novel was flat and boring. Another winner in a great series This has been one of my favorite series and this latest edition is no disappointment. I admit that I found it a bit hard to get into but that may have been due to the narration. Helen Lloyd does a good job but she's too slow for me. Once I increased the speed of the narration to 1.25X it worked better. Coming from the family he does it's no surprise that Roxton would be attracted to a "scandalous heiress." And Tillie, trying to avoid the reputation she's developed, doesn't want to get in the way of her sister's marriage possibilities. How they both navigate the ton and reach their HEA is a fun story. And there is cheating at cards, of course. Pretty Good The narrator's American accent sounds like Betty White - similar inflections and pitch. Her natural speaking voice is fine, not a favorite, but not detracting from the story. The first half of the book is annoyingly repetitive - she's drawn to him but it's wrong because he's courting her sister; he's drawn to her but that's bad because of her reputation. Over and over and over. The second half is better with appearances by characters from previous books and various outings to add interest to the story. I'd rate the first half 3* and the second half 4*.

Naturally, she's betrothed to a Beast. Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays everyone he crosses. And rumor also has it that a wound has left the earl immune to the charms of any woman. Linnet is not just any woman. She is more than merely lovely: her wit and charm brought a prince to his knees. She estimates the earl will fall madly in love - in just two weeks. She is more than merely lovely: her wit and charm brought a prince to his knees. She estimates the earl will fall madly in love - in just two weeks. If she decides to be very wicked indeed... what price will she pay for taming his wild heart? Members Reviews: Loved it! This is the second Happily Ever After book. I am just loving this series. I thought it was going to be a typical regency romance with the Beauty and the Beast storyline, but James sensei adds so much more too it. For example, I really don't care for unnecessary long sex scenes and IMHO the author has put in just enough with fun twists. In this series they were actually romantic as well as sensual and fits the story perfectly. In this book the heroine Linnet(beauty) is almost faultless while the hero Piers is Dr.House of his time. He is a brilliant doctor but has no bedside manners, has horrible temper, is generally cranky and has a bad leg. I love the banter and battle of the wits that ensues between them. Unlike the other regency novels there are no rivals, balls and the ton in this story. Instead there are sick patients, arguments and healing in the harsh but beautiful setting in Wales. I just loved this happily ever after for adults! More please 19th Century Dr. House....I LOVED IT I absolutely loved this book and I'm really enjoying this fairy tale series by Eloisa James. This is my new favorite romance book! This one made me cry, laugh, made me mad and happy. If you are fan of historical romance or of Eloisa James then I would suggest you get this book right now! You will love it too! A credit worthy listen. 5 stars all around! Wonderful book... I was facing a dreary weekend of housework and chores. Bought this book. Completed my housework and chores lost in the wonderful world Eloisa James created. Definitely worth the credit...lovely story, beautiful writing, definitely a must for those who enjoy this genre. Loved it The female protagonist Linnette was strong, smart and funny. I loved her. Even do the guy was a JERK, one can't help but like him. He is very smart, logical, selfless, very masculine, and extremely rude and arrogant. Yes he is all of that and more. He is not handsome in the traditional sense of the word but he is a MAN, and he makes love to his lady like there is no tomorrow. Great love scenes. Not a predictable book. It had many twist and turns. Surprising Combination! No topic is safe, divorce, drug addiction, child abuse, to forgive or not to forgive... James manages to touch on all of these topics without leaving the listener feeling depressed. Piers Yelverton, The Earl of Merchant, is a gifted physician in the area of diagnosis and treatment with the added gift of making his bedside insults scathing. Linnet Thynne is the beautiful young woman who finds herself in the unfortunate position of needing a husband to avoid scandal. In between insults they seem to find a happy medium by agreeing they would never suit each other.

The bastard son of a nobleman, Julian Bellamy is now polished to perfection, enthralling the town with wit and charm while clandestinely plotting to ruin the lords, ravish the ladies, and have the last laugh on a society that once spurned him. But after meeting Leo Chatwick, a decent man and founder of an elite gentlemen's club, and Lily, Leo's enchanting sister, Julian reconsiders his wild ways. And when Leo's tragic murder demands that Julian hunt for justice, he vows to see the woman he secretly loves married to a man of her own class. Lily, however, has a very different husband in mind. She's loved Julian forever, adores the man beneath the rakish façade, and wants to savor the delicious attraction they share - as his wife. His insistence on marrying her off only reinforces her intent to prove that he is the only man for her. Obsessed with catching a killer, Julian sinks back to the gutters of his youth, forcing Lily to reach out with a sweet, reckless passion Julian can't resist. Can her desire for a scoundrel save them both - or will dangerous secrets threaten more than their tender love? Members Reviews: Steamy & Interesting We finally get to hear Lily & Julian's story.....so I wanted a quick start - seamed to me it was a bit slow moving at first. Once it got going it moved quickly and really kept my interest. This story is full of twists and turns and lots of really steamy love scenes. Landor does an amazing job (as always) and her "parrot" voice is hilarious!!! The epilogue was nice - tied it all up in a neat little bow. Worth a credit - but not for the faint of heart - there are plenty descriptive sex scenes. Three Nights with a Mystery Rosalyn Landor did an excellent job with narrating,I was unsure at first because the first book of the trilogy had an awesome narrator aswell,so wasn't sure how this one would measure up,but she did just as awesome with each character.Unfortunately this book wasn't as good"romantically "as the first,plenty of plots and mystery though.I read the second book,it too was more plot and mystery more than romance,so by far..the first of the trilogy was the best of the three,not only a good story but alot of very steamy moments.I enjoyed all three books though and hearing how the three most unlikely men to become friends became more like family to eachother instead.Great books,Tessa is a great Romance writer,one of my favorites. Disappointing What would have made Three Nights with a Scoundrel better? More action would have been nice. Too much description and repetition. The big mystery was hinted at so much, the reader has it figured out early on. Plus the Leo side-story theme has been done over and over in this genre. Would you ever listen to anything by Tessa Dare again? Definitely. I love most all of the books by her that I have read. Which scene was your favorite? The scenes with the bird were good. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. Any additional comments? Would like to see more of the issues covered that most people dealt with back in the 18th and 19th centuries as opposed to filtering in the issues of the 20th and 21st centuries (our issues).

Saddened I am supremely disappointed with this book. It kept turning off during the reading and I had to continually keep turning it back on. Very annoying. Refreshingly...a twist of a love story! Most love stories, romance novels are predictable. I suppose you can almost predict what happens in this story but I enjoyed the fact that it did have a twist of difference to it. Journeys end by Renee Ryan. I was very pleased with this book. Will read more of this author's books. Thank you.

Bhrodi ap Gaerwen de Shera is a warrior of tremendous range and power. Descended from the kings of Anglesey on his mother's side and the earls of Coventry on his father's, Bhrodi is in the unique position of having Welsh royalty and English nobility. Edward knows he must make an alliance with de Shera. With that in mind, Edward calls upon the mightiest warrior of the north, the legendary William de Wolfe, to pledge one of his daughters to de Shera. William is honored by the king's calling; he pledges his youngest daughter, Lady Penelope Adalira de Wolfe, to be the Serpent's bride. But the Lady Penelope is no ordinary woman; raised by knights, she has been trained by the best and, in spite of her mother's protests, she fights like a knight. Exquisitely beautiful with dark hair and hazel eyes, she is an unearthly beauty and a fine legacy for the mighty de Wolfe. But Penelope has no desire to be a bartered bride and she resists the king's directive, but her reluctance is futile. Join Bhrodi and Penelope as they journey through a world where the greed of men breeds great hatred yet great valor. When Bhrodi is injured in a skirmish, Penelope steps in for her husband to lead the Serpent's men against the hated English and realizes she must face her own father on the battlefield. Will Penelope survive The Wolfe? Or will The Serpent's strike become her very own, conquering those she loves? Members Reviews: Intriguing If you could sum up Serpent in three words, what would they be? Unique, unexpected, entertaining. What other book might you compare Serpent to and why? None, that I can think of. Which character as performed by Brad Wills was your favorite? Lady Penelope Adalira de Wolfe, youngest daughter of the legendary William de Wolfe. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? Serpent kept my interest all the way through. Wonderful story! This was a wonderful story. It took a brilliant mind to write this tale and the best narrator in the business to put my heart in palpitations. The emotions were so powerful, it can grab a strong man by the throat and shake the tears and happiness right out of him. I loved, loved it! What a great pair....Kathryn and Brad Wills. Favorite Le Veque book! I have so many Le Veque books and I always come back to this one. I love that they are "looking back" into history. This story makes me laugh and cry. I also love Brad Wills, he makes the characters sound so genuine. Amazing Serpent What did you love best about Serpent? This book has taken my breath away it was an emotional journey from beginning to end. This is one book I really did not want to end. Bhrodi de Shera, a royal Welsh Warlord, and a king in his own right; a man who loves his country. Our heroine is Penelope de Wolfe one of the Wolfes children or better known as the Wolfepack! Both were such amazing characters. The King has decreed one of The Wolfs children will wed the Welsh Warlord, better known as the Serpent. They call him the Serpent, and rightly so, because his strike is deadly as sin. Penelope de Wolfe is chosen to be the Warlords wife, but she has so much of her mother and father in her, she does not like what she must do.

She will not give up. Three months ago, governess Serena Barton was let go from her position. Unable to find new work, she's demanding compensation from the man who got her sacked: a petty, selfish, swinish duke. But it's not the duke she fears. It's his merciless man of business - the man known as the Wolf of Clermont. The formidable former pugilist has a black reputation for handling all the duke's dirty business, and when the duke turns her case over to him, she doesn't stand a chance. But she can't stop trying - not with her entire future at stake. He cannot give in. Hugo Marshall is a man of ruthless ambition - a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner's son to the right hand man of a duke. When his employer orders him to get rid of the pestering governess by fair means or foul, it's just another day at the office. Unfortunately, fair means don't work on Serena, and as he comes to know her, he discovers that he can't bear to use foul ones. But everything he has worked for depends upon seeing her gone. He'll have to choose between the life that he needs, and the woman he is coming to love.... Members Reviews: Short But Sweet I'm a huge fan of Rosalyn Landor's narration, so I purchased this book with no real knowledge of the author Courtney Milan's work. This is a very short romantic tale about a governess seeking recompense from a rather seedy Duke, and the Duke's man of business. The ending was a very nice teaser for more in this series and I, for one, am eager to read more. Loved it! What a pleasant surprise! For being a short book you get a complete and very we'll developed story full of feelings. It's a story about a woman looking for redemption and justice and the man confronting her who only cares about achieving power and riches. Once they meet each other they find out that what they wanted out of life isn't important after all and that love brings the ultimate happiness. A great story with flawless narration. What more can you ask for? Great Writers Don't Need 8 Hours!! I almost never download novellas. I am inevitably disappointed, feeling as though 3 or 4 hours simply doesn't allow enough time for an author to fully entice me into caring for the characters. The plots often feel truncated. But because I have so much enjoyed Courtney Milan's novels I bought this as soon as it was released. Then it sat on my MP3 player for months and I skimmed over the title again and again. Last night my computer was down and this was all I had left that at all appealed... Thank you computer! Simply stated - this was wonderful! I winced, I filled with ire, I smiled, I sighed and at the end I grinned as I experienced that wonderful feeling of satisfaction that comes from listening to one of the good ones! A short book under 4 hours What draws me to romance books is the power given to the heros. I am sure thats what most readers like and that is why especially most historical romances include a powerful, titled or wealthy man. The heroin however can be from any level of society and really needs not a lot of power, money or beauty to recommend her as long as her personality is likable. Here, the story has a man of business to a Duke as the hero and an impoverished lady as a heroin.

Title: Salt Bride: A Georgian Historical Romance Subtitle: Salt Hendon Series, Book 1 Author: Lucinda Brant Narrator: Marian Hussey Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-14 Publisher: Sprigleaf Pty Ltd. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 209 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Set in the opulent world of the 18th century aristocracy, Lucinda Brant delivers another delicious 18th century romantic experience. High drama, witty prose, a deft palette of historical detail, and a weave of subplots will keep you mesmerized from beginning to end. England, 1763. The Earl of Salt Hendon and squire's daughter Jane Despard share a secret past of mistrust, heartache, and misery. Forced into a marriage neither wants, the patient and ever optimistic Jane believes love conquers all; the Earl will take some convincing. Enter Diana St. John, who will go to extreme lengths, even murder, to hold the Earl's attention. Can the newlyweds overcome past prejudices and sinister opposition to fall in love all over again? ARRA Awards Finalist 2011 Favorite Historical Romance Members Reviews: Delightful dark romance with lurking villain Any additional comments? What a wonderful cast of characters! From the very purest of hearts, Jane Despard, soon to become Lady Salt, to Diane, Lady St. John, whose mind machinations will have you anxiously follow her every move. This woman is capable of horrendous deeds. Beware! New-to-me author Lucinda Brant, provided a fabulous listen and I wont be able to NOT read/listen to the sequel. She has me hanging from a precipice. She draws her scenes in such detail I feel the swirl of emotion bouncing in the expanse of the scene. She captures scrupulously what happens in the mind of an individual when her dark side demands total manipulation of people with the quest to gain her goal. It leaves the reader shuddering with angst for her victims. I love to hate her villain! I enjoyed hearing the jargon of the day in dialog and participate in more than dancing and balls. Narrator Ms. Hussey is easy to listen to, with sharp, well enunciated words. Her voice is perfect in depicting the innocent demeanor of Jane, to the voice of the Earl, a man whose heart loves Jane, but dares not believe such a thing himself. After all, didnt she break off their relationship four years earlier? Or was it the other way around? This is the second time Ive heard Marian Hussey narrate. Her voice is extremely versatile, a lower resonance and quite mesmerizing in how she portrays characters. We got to see what happens below stairs amongst the servants, how loyalties are made or broken. We participated in the lives of the crème de la crème of society. I particularly marveled at the in-depth characterization of deranged Diana, Lady Saint John, who had a façade of normalcy, but evil lurked behind her beautiful face and proper demeanor. She was absolutely terrifying. Ms. Brant has written quite a few novels. Ill be delving into her others. Its such a pleasure to find another author who pulls the right strings enthralling me, completely entertained for hours! Love triumphs over evil in a nail biting story Much as I liked Jane & Salt's story, they were upstaged by the scenery chewing Lady Diana, a truly dreadful friend and mother. I hope she has another juicy role in Salt Redux. This was my second listen and I enjoyed the book much more. Perhaps it was my mood. Or maybe it was catching details I had missed the first time. Whatever the reason, I urge you to listen. Brilliant - romance, mystery, intrigue...

For Olivia Lytton, betrothal to the Duke of Canterwick - hardly a Prince Charming - feels more like a curse than a happily-ever-after. At least his noble status will help her sister, Georgiana, secure an engagement with the brooding, handsome Tarquin, Duke of Sconce,a perfect match for her in every way... every way but one. Tarquin has fallen in love with Olivia. Quin never puts passion before reason. And reason says that Georgiana is his ideal bride. But the sensual, fiery, strong-willed Olivia ignites an unknown longing in him - a desire they are both powerless to resist. When a scandalous affair begins, they risk losing everything - Olivias engagement, her sisters friendship, and their own fragile love. Only one thing can save them - and it awaits in the bedroom, where a magnificent mattress holds life-changing answers to the greatest romantic riddle of all. Members Reviews: Great Romance with a Twist Would you listen to The Duke Is Mine again? Why? Absolutely. Have listened several times already. A great, funny, wonderfully fascinating romantic book, with the disapproving mother-of-the-duke, and all. The characters are great with multiple twists in the plot. In the beginning, and most of the way through, you just can't figure out how all the twists will come out. The ending part was a little slow, but it was necessary to bring all the pieces together. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5. What does Susan Duerden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is just wonderful. Makes the different characters come alive. This was my first book by this author, but I bought the book half because Susan Duerden was the narrarator. She's one on the best! Any additional comments? This was my first book by Eloisa James. I'm definitely buying some more books by her. A real surprise, loved it! I downloaded this book from a sale, and put off listening to it. When I finally did, I had a hard time leaving it. The characters are so much fun, I loved it. The English banter is so amusing, that I found myself laughing out loud several times, along with plenty of drama. It's like watching a stage play, because most of the book is interaction of the characters. Not much in the way of history, or setting scenes, but delving into the lives and thoughts of the main characters. The narrator does a great job, with all the voices, and coming across with the wit and moods implied. Worst romance I've read in a while. What would have made The Duke Is Mine better? The entire story consists of the heroine complaining about how fat she is. "I'm so fat blah blah blah. No one could love me. My breasts are too big" etc....Not only was she a fatty, but she had a terrible personality. She's rude, insensitive, and has no thought for her family. Her twin sister is kind, funny, generous, and pretty, but no...the hero wants the mean fat chick. The entire romance made NO sense. They had nothing in common and no mutual interests. She actually mocks the hero's interest in mathematics. The only attraction between the hero and heroine is that he gets randy looking at her fat rolls. The hero came across as some creeper browsing a fetish magazine. Also, I didn't find it entertaining, hot or exciting to hear the heroine rattle on about her body issues.

Title: Hard-Hearted Highlander Subtitle: The Highland Grooms, Book 3 Author: Julia London Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-17 Publisher: Harlequin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 57 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: An indomitable governess...a brooding Highlander...a forbidden affair... An ill-fated elopement cost English-born governess Bernadette Holly her reputation, her unsuitable lover, and any chance of a future match. She has nothing left to fear - not even the bitter, dangerously handsome Scot due to marry her young charge. Naive wallflower Avaline is terrified to wed Rabbie Mackenzie, but if he sends her home, she will be ruined. Bernadette's solution: convince Rabbie to get Avaline to cry off...while ignoring her own traitorous attraction to him. A forced engagement to an Englishwoman is a hard pill for any Scot to swallow. It's even worse when the fiancée in question is a delicate, foolish young miss - unlike her spirited, quick-witted governess. Sparring with Bernadette brings passion and light back to Rabbie's life after the failed Jacobite uprising. His clan's future depends upon his match to another, but how can any Highlander forsake a love that stirs his heart and soul? Members Reviews: Healing Power of Historical Highlands Julia London really knows how to pull on a reader's heart strings! This is a story that will make you cry just a little near the end. Both of the main characters have suffered tragic losses of their first loves. Years later they still haven't learned to leave the past behind them and move on. Thankfully the chemistry is electric when they are together and they bring each other from the brink of despair. There are many contemporary stories out there that have similar themes. It's refreshing to see the healing power of love revealed in a historical romance with a dashing (and obviously brooding) highlander. Derek Perkins was amazing as usual with his varying unique vocalizations for each character. I can't wait for the next book by Julia London and narrated by Derek Perkins! Highland Grooms Book Three Highland Grooms Book Three Bernadette Holly is along for the ride when her charge, Avaline, is sent to marry highlander Rabbie Mackenzie. Avaline is a naive girl who is afraid of everything and everyone, especially Rabbie. While the rest of his family tries to welcome Avaline and her family, Rabbie just cannot care enough to follow their lead. He is dead inside. Bernadette cannot stand the jerk who ignores her charge. She tries to encourage Avaline as much as possible, but she doesn't think much will come of the union. If you're looking for a Highland story with several surprising story twists, this is the book for you! Audio Review: Derek Perkins has the perfect tone for this story (series). His ability to work with several accents and characterizations is fantastic. *I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Almost quit The middle became pretty tedious but the ending almost made up for it. Dont like so many flashbacks with lost fiancées. Also dont like men lethargically walking into weddings they dont want. A little witty repartee would have saved it. A disappointment compared to the wicked Scot story. That one was fun.

Clean romance with the problems of everyday life having more than everyday solutions. You feel like the book is describing a place, a town and a lifestyle you would want to be a part of and could dream about. I laughed & rejoiced listening to this story it was thrilling to discover how God can reveal himself to you in this story of hope. it make you laugh, cry and rejoice with all the characters. Great writer and reader I have read this series and other books by this author and she never disappoints. She's a great story teller and weaves history in to each tale. The reader is great.

But the ballrooms of Mayfair have become much more appealing since the arrival of Major Lucas Winter, an American with a dark past and a dangerous air. Lucas is brash, arrogant and scandalously tempting. Every thrilling kiss sparks hotter desire, yet Amelia suspects Lucas has a hidden motive in wooing her. And she intends to discover it, by any means necessary. Members Reviews: The narrator often makes or breaks a story Would you try another book from Sabrina Jeffries and/or Justine Eyre? I've always enjoyed Ms. Jeffries, and I'd try another book narrated by Ms. Eyre---as long as she didn't make another attempt at depicting an American male voice. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Meh. Kind of lackluster. How did the narrator detract from the book? Her portrayal of British characters was fine. Her narration of an American female character was tepid, but okay. However, her attempt at portraying the hero, an American soldier, was DISMAL, and really ended up ruining the book for me. I was continuously yanked out of the story by it. She made him sound like---I don't know, a hillbilly more than anything else. In addition to that, she very often had him slipping into British pronunciations. Perhaps the worst thing was her very annoying habit of continuously (when in the hero's voice) pronouncing the word Do you think Never Seduce a Scoundrel needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Perhaps she could have the hero fall back into his old fears...but I don't know that there would be enough there for a whole new story. Any additional comments? Justine Eyre = American male voice = (shudder) Good Story The only reason I'm I'm not giving this a fulll five stars is because of the narrator's character voices. Her accents sounded off to me, especially the Scotsmen. They sounded very Irish and not Scottish. Good book to READ with hot and steamy romance. This was a good book. I read most of it only listening to first few chapters as I didn't like the voice the narrator used for Lucas, the voice she used for him as atrocious. It made him sound like an unmanly idiot, however reading it was so so so much better. The narrator did much better with the rest of the characters and the reading. I would recommend reading this book and not listening to it. It was a very fast read as there was dialog throughout the entire book which is much more preferable than reading descriptions and thoughts of the characters. I love the way Sabrina Jeffries writes, she is a new author to me and I plan on reading many more of her books. (She has a fantastic website too) The Heroine in the book was strong and has mind of her, which is much more preferable than a crying, whimpering heroine. The sex in the book was hot and steamy and very well written. I totally recommend this book for reading, unless you can get past the voice of Lucas. Its too bad when audible puts a sample up you don't get to hear the main characters voices the narrator uses.

Desperate to escape the convent, she agrees to wed a man she detests to provide an heir for her family's holdings. But when the king declares the Charwyck lands forfeit and awards them to their enemy, Graeye once more finds herself discarded. Grieved by her father's plans to return her to the convent, she yields to impulse and casts aside her virtue only to discover that the knight with whom she sinned is the new lord of Medland. Relentless Baron Gilbert Balmaine is a man nearly eaten through with desire to see the end of the Charwyck line for all the ills the family has visited upon his own. With the heir dead, the only remaining survivor too aged to beget another, and their lands forfeited for the atrocities committed against the Balmaines, light lies ahead--until Gilbert learns there is a daughter. And his world darkens further when he realizes she is the one who, on a starry night, tempted him past temptation. Certain she intended to trap him into marriage, he vows he will not rest until she is back within the walls of her abbey. Now if only he can forget her. If only that night did not have such far-reaching consequences... Members Reviews: Excellent! Be prepared to be transported back to 1156 England by a very talented author. Ignorance and superstition cause Lady Graeye Charwyck's father to take her to a convent as a child because she has a birth mark on her forehead thought to be the devil's mark. She has never been happy at the convent and is delighted when her father orders her home just before taking her vows to become a nun. Her father wants her to marry a lecherous old man and produce an heir since her brother's death. Before the marriage can take place, her father's holdings are confiscated by the King and given to the Balmaine family. Graeye has only heard one side of the story of her brother's murder, so she distrusts Baron Gilbert Balmaine. Living all her life behind the high walls of the convent Graeye is unprepared for life outside and the extreme changes that have befallen her and her father. Because she doesn't want to be returned to the convent, and wanting to stay and take care of her father, who doesn't want her now that there is no need for an heir, Graeye makes some very foolish decisions/mistakes that have far reaching consequences. This touching story flows well, with descriptions so realistic you feel like you are there. Tamara Leigh is a very talented author who holds the readers interest throughout. Mary Sarah Agliotta gave a sterling performance. She does male voices very well. Each person's voice was distinguishable. She read like a one woman play with each role done to perfection. I will look for more books from this author and narrator. good Christian book the book was clean, I was surprised it had a area where there was intimacy outside of marriage though it didn't have details. there was not alot of Christian values but I liked the book because it didn't have alot of the smut you find in non Christian love stories.

Or so they are known to London society. Little does the world suspect the true purpose of the Inferno Club - or the unseen threat looming over England, which these select, powerful lords are secretly sworn to fight. Recruited as lads from noble families, trained in an array of deadly arts, they are the operatives of a covert order so mysterious that few beyond the crown even know it exists. As dutiful peers of the realm, however, they are expected to take wives - and marriage may prove their most perilous mission yet! For it takes a lady of uncommon spirit to love an especially dangerous hero. With the war against Napoleon winding down, the Marquess of Rotherstone decides it's time to restore his family's tainted reputation. But as a member of the Inferno Club, he knows there is only one way to redeem himself in society's eyes: marry an impeccable young lady of beauty and breeding, whose behavior is well beyond reproach. Someone quite unlike Miss Daphne Starling. True, she is temptingly lovely, but a whiff of scandal suggests the blond beauty may be a jilt who enjoys toying with her suitors' emotions. Still, Max cannot resist her allure - or the challenge of proving London's gossips wrong. Pursuing her with a spy's cool, calm calculation, he is soon swept up in the chase. He would do anything to win her hand...and prove that even a very wicked marquess can become the ideal husband. Editorial Reviews: "Always fabulous." (Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times Best-selling author) Critic Reviews: >"Foley's most powerful novel to date!" ( RT Book Reviews) Members Reviews: Regency Romance With a Bit of Suspense What made the experience of listening to My Wicked Marquess the most enjoyable? The contrast of personalities between Daphne and Max. Who was your favorite character and why? Daphine's great aunt the dowager dragon duchess. Every one is afraid of Daphine's great aunt and she sets the trends. She has the control that Daphine yearns for. What aspect of Annette Chowns performance would you have changed? Her voice was sort of weak and timid. A more commanding distinctive voice would of been nice. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was a fairly good book and enjoyable but not so much as to want to listen to it in one sitting. Any additional comments? Daphine is somewhat spoiled in some ways, is very generous and loving, wears her heart on her sleeve and is very trusting and sometimes a bit silly. Max hides his emotions and is very pragmatic. He is closed and secretive as he has had to be in order to survive. Max and Daphine balance each other, however besides being very open Daphine is curious, demands to be in control and not controlled by others and will not accept Max's secrets. As Max is a spy, Daphine snoops and learns things things best left unopened. The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger with an introduction to the next book. I am hooked and am eagerly awaiting the next book. HMMM, IT'S A SERIES-AUDIBLE LAGGING Disappointed to realise (at end of this audible) this is part of a series which is not yet available on audible or amazon Australia! I have had this occur on other series and it starts to become quite annoying.

It is a heartwarming, fun, sweet story. I bought this book on audio after reading it. This is one of my go-to audio books when I am driving or don't have time to sit and read. Great Holiday Story This is a great romance which just happened to be set during the holidays. Christi Caldwell has written another great book, a little shorter but just as emotional and touching as a longer story. Tim Campbell has again performed wonderfully. Short, sweet, simple. This was a simple tale fashioned to fit into the series. Kind of a bonus I guess. Very short, simple and sweet. That's it.

Bose was the Captain of the Guard for King Henry III until Bose's wife's untimely death in childbirth. Blaming himself and wanting to be free of the memories, he resigns his post and joins the tournament circuit to compete for money and fame. But dark rumors follow Bose; his mother-in-law is a vicious woman who blames Bose for her daughter's death. She starts nasty rumors that Bose murdered his wife, and everyone on the tournament circuit is fearful of this dark, frightening knight. Enter the Lady Summer du Bonne. A beautiful woman with a stammering problem, she has been kept hidden away from the world by her embarrassed father and protective brothers. Summer meets Bose at a tournament hosted by her brothers and for Bose, it is love at first sight. But the terrible rumors plague his attempts to get to know the lady, who is attracted to him as well. Summer's drunken father eventually pledges his daughter to Bose, but Bose's mother-in-law interferes and Summer's father decides to pledge Summer to an unscrupulous knight who has shown interest in her, and who would like nothing better than to see de Moray come to ruin. With so many forces working against them, Bose and Summer elope but they are captured and Bose is brought up on charges of thievery. A massive trial ensues and with a death sentence hanging over his head, only a miracle can save Bose and restore his honor. Members Reviews: Brilliant! If you could sum up The Gorgon in three words, what would they be? An absolute must listen What did you like best about this story? So very different. Unexpected twists, couldn't stop listening. What does Tristan Hunt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? As a recent fan of Kathryn le Veque, I was getting used to male voices with some difficulty as I am normally someone who prefers a female reader.Then along comes Tristan Hunt! An amazing narrator who does justice to the Author.A silly comment maybe......but this is the first time I have heard a narrator 'read' a stutter and make it so 'natural'.Excellent...........I would love to hear Tristan read more of Kathryn's Books. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I think there was a moving moment in evert chapter........can't really choose. Any additional comments? Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable Breathtaking! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this audiobook without hesitation! I am a huge fan of Ms. Le Veque's books and I haven't had the chance yet to read it, so listening to it, was perfect for me! Who was your favorite character and why? Bose is my favorite hero because, he is the perfect knight, passionate and courageous! Have you listened to any of Tristan Hunts other performances before? How does this one compare? This narrator has the perfect voice for Ms.

When her beauty lands her in danger, it's Robert who comes to the rescue, only to announce his affections are not of the romantic kind! Robert saw enough sorrow in his parents' union to know he wants nothing to do with marriage, which is exactly what he'll be trapped into if he acts on his desire for the irksome siren. And then Lisa does what Robert least expects: gives up on him! As feigned indifference gives way, blistering passion burns at last. But just before the pair can succumb to hard-won bliss, an enemy with unfinished business lurks, threatening to destroy them both. Members Reviews: I usually love love love L.S.'s books BUT..... Lady stupid will have you continually rolling your eyes to the heavens saying...."..oh no, surely she isn't, she can't, she wouldn't, she's not that stupid, but alas she is and she does!! She runs off here and there, always ignoring sensible advice and gets herself in trouble which was the main storyline of a weak book. I could not empathize with her in any way because she was just so frustrating. Coupled with that, I thought the narrator was sooo sloooow, I put the speed on my iPhone to x1 speed (which doubles the speed) and that sounded about right. I don't think the Publishing Houses give enough thought to the narrators of their books but it is SO important, they can make even a great book unbearable! I love L. S.'s vampire books and I love romance books - Paranormal, Historical or Modern Day (hundreds by now) but I would say "don't waste your credit" but if you've listened to the others in the series and your a fan then you will probably ignore me! This girl is so dumb. Would you try another book from Lynsay Sands and/or Jaime Birch? Yes, I truly enjoyed the first story in this series. But this girl is so stupid. Can anyone be this naive? What could Lynsay Sands have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Given the female lead a little more intelligence. She got on my last nerve. Have you listened to any of Jaime Birchs other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, they are about the same. Was Husband Hunt worth the listening time? It was a struggle to finish it. It seemed to go on and on. creative consistently Where does Husband Hunt rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the Regency London Historical Romance category this is a good book. I didn't feel the humor as much as in Countess... but its a very good extension of it... I really did enjoy it just didn't find it AS good as countess. I'd say this one is great if I hadn't just listened to countess and immediately after listened to this one. What other book might you compare Husband Hunt to and why? I'd say it would fit with Stephanie Laurens and maybe even in with some Amanda Quick minus the Arcane Society. Have you listened to any of Jaime Birchs other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't, but I definitely would again! There wasn't the usual adjustment time where you get used to the voice, cadence and characters. It started comfortably and stayed that way.

Embedded deep behind enemy lines, Arthur Ranger Campbell is prized for his razor-sharp senses and his ability to blend into the shadows. But when Arthur infiltrates the clan of the chieftain who murdered his father, his heart is locked on revenge. Inside he faces unexpected resistance from the sweetest of obstaclesa honey-haired siren who is his enemys daughter. Intrigued by this ruggedly handsome newcomer to her fathers forces, the vivacious, enchanting Anna MacDougall is a woman whose skill at uncovering deception rivals Arthurs own. Though yearning for a quiet life with a good man to love, Anna is drawn to this mysterious knight whose eyes devour her but whose words push her away. As danger, treachery, and the threat of looming war draw them closer into each others arms, a warrior made of steel must make a choice from the heart: love or revenge. Members Reviews: VT. FAN Where does The Ranger rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? TOP 50 (I HAVE 512) What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ranger? I ALWAYS LOVE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE REST OF MCCLOUDS WARRIORS. THE PASSION BETWEEN ANNA AND CAMPBELL WAS V.E.R.Y GOOD. Which scene was your favorite? IN THE BEGINNING WHEN HE FIRST MEETS ANNA AND SAVES HER LIFE. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? THE WHOLE BOOK MOVED ME. THIS IS A GREAT SERIES. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERENT NARRATIORS IN SOME OF MCCARTY'S BOOKS AND THEY ARE ALL VERY GOOD MCNAB DOES A GREAT JOB ON THE HIGHLAND GUARD SERIES. HE COULD IMPROVE ON THE FEMALE VOICE I THINK ( HIS VOICE IS VERY DEEP AND LOW, SENSUAL FOR THE MALE VOICES SO I OVERLOOK THE FEMALE VOICE SHORTCOMINGS.) Love the whole series! Humorous as well as keeping my attention. Really great book! Wonderful story. 2nd time listening Couldn't get into this one..not bad..just not good While I liked the characters on their own....I just couldn't get into the relationship. I found I didn't care if they got together or not. The best part is the interaction between the Highland Guard guys... But I listened to most of this on double speed. Still moving on to the next in the series because I enjoyed the first 2 books in the series....maybe this book was just a bump in the series road for me. Excellent! Monica Mccarty's best series! Oh my. I've now listened to every single McCarty book on Audible. I must say that her highland Guard series is my very favorite. Each book is better than the last, and this one is wonderful. If you're trying to decide where to start with Monica McCarty books, read this series. While Robert Mcnab takes some getting used to, it is well worth it. The Highland Guard series is excellent!!! Start with The Chief, The Hawk, then The Ranger. I am sad that the rest of the series is not available. I hope fans will write to Recorded Books, Audible and Tantor media, and let them know we are waiting for the rest of this extraordinary series. One major flaw ruined the story, for me.
Wow, overall, I loved this tale.

Title: Natural Attraction Author: Catherine Haustein Narrator: Theresa Wolcott Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-18 Publisher: Penner Media Group, LLC Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: To get ahead she'll have to become a man - and a man, she always thought, never lets love get in the way.... Clementine dreams of being a naturalist - dreams that leave no time for romance. To sneak on an adventurous prospecting expedition, Clementine will have to convince everyone she's a man. A mysterious tonic offers her just that disguise. But "Calvin", as she calls herself now, had no idea what she was giving up. When Wesley, the expedition's gentle preacher, catches her eye, she cant get him out of her head; not his lush lips, wide brown eyes...or broad chest. Dare she reveal her secret to him, and can she keep her career if she does? Among run-ins with cowboys, natural disasters, and traveling shows, Wesleys most fascinating adventure is meeting Calvin. Though Wesley is betrothed, the cute, clever naturalist threatens to make him fall into temptation.... Members Reviews: Fun and sneaky educational I loved that the heroine had to be a man and how she was treated so differently when she was a "man". So much science and history woven into the book - made it very interesting to read. There are sly, insider Dutch nuggets here - including the longest Dutch name I've ever seen. Wonder if the author made it up? I was hooked from page one - and the ending could have gone in several directions, and the direction chosen was quite satisfying - I was rooting for that! A great read, engrossing and exciting -- perfect summertime reading ... A great read, engrossing and exciting -- perfect summertime reading material. I really like the combination of adventure, romance, science and historical fiction this story offers. The author does a wonderful job of bringing serious questions on several issues (gender, religion and science among them) to light while keeping things entertaining. A great read! From the moment I opened this book it was extremely difficult to put this fast moving book down! The author does a masterful job of character development. Her historical research was "spot on" and her sense of whimsy made me smile. Natural Attraction allowed me to laugh, cry, dream and learn. Upon completion of the book I found myself longing for another book by this author! A great read! Gender-bender This gender-bending historical romance is an intelligent and imaginative tale that demonstrates the power of life and love, no matter what the time or place. The book broadened my perspective and made me think, as well as being superbly entertaining. Cynthia Mahmood Good Book! Fun book that combines adventure and romance with a scientific twist. The character development is excellent. I'd absolutely recommend giving this book a read!

Title: The Serpent Prince Author: Elizabeth Hoyt Narrator: Moira Quirk Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-13 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 247 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When the devil meets an angel... Country bred Lucy Craddock-Hayes is content with her quiet life, until the day she trips over an unconscious man - a naked unconscious man - and loses her innocence forever. ...he can take her to heaven... Viscount Simon Iddesleigh was nearly beaten to death by his enemies. Now he's hell-bent on vengeance. But as Lucy nurses him back to health, her honesty startles his jaded sensibilities - even as it ignites a desire that threatens to consume them both. ...or to hell. Charmed by Simon's sly wit, urbane manners, and even his red-heeled shoes, Lucy falls hard and fast for him. Yet as his honor keeps him from ravishing her, his revenge sends his attackers to her door. As Simon wages war on his foes, Lucy wages her own war for his soul, using the only weapon she has: her love. Members Reviews: TRICORNS, DUELS, A DEVIL & AN ANGEL - AHHH LOVELY Book 3 of The Prince trilogy but it's totally a stand alone listen with the only link with the previous 2 books is a meeting in a coffee house as the three heroes chat and you realise they were all friends. As I've said before in other reviews, when you invest 22 hours of your life to a book you hope that investment will be worth it. Well, this certainly was - from Chapter 1 I was hooked and continued to be drawn into a romantic love story that was woven between Simon, hell-bent on a quest to avenge his dead brother by duelling and Lucy a country Lady with a high provincial moral code. We see Simon (a tortured soul) and Lucy (a smothered soul) being drawn together as she finds him naked and nurses him back to health after being left for dead. As their conversations bring feelings and desires the attraction between them grows rapidly and, as they throw quips and banter with each other, the humour melts their shells and melds them together but Simon has dark secrets and never feels good enough for his Angel Lucy. However, the very likeable main and secondary characters and events all play their part in eventually tearing them apart with revenge, guilt, murder, heartbreak and desperation making their presence known too. Can love overcome all or will it just not be enough in this well written and well narrated story. Just one thing - I would have loved an epilogue! Worth a credit? It's a typical EH book - clever dialogue in a well thought out descriptive plot and if you can shrug off the historical imperfections along with the sexy bits - then you will thoroughly enjoy this long (you could double speed it) but very very enjoyable listen - so that's a Yes for the credit. Serious Story Line and Serious Love Scenes What did you love best about The Serpent Prince? The love scenes were quite steamy while remaining romantic. So many romance novels tend to either be too sweet or too hardcore, but the Serpent Prince is a great compromise. What did you like best about this story? I liked how there was a pretty meaty story other than the romance. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The only extreme reaction I had to this book was that I had to forcibly make my self NOT think about Simon is a wig and red pumps.

Title: The Yielding Subtitle: Age of Faith, Book 2 Author: Tamara Leigh Narrator: Mary Sarah Agliotta Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-14 Publisher: Tamara Leigh Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 214 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The Unveiling, the first book in the Age of Faith series, introduced listeners to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry's battle for England's throne in 1153. Now, four years later, Henry wears the crown, but the Wulfriths are no less defiant - and no more amenable to forging alliances through king-decreed marriage. She had killed a man. Or so it was said.... Convent-bound Lady Beatrix Wulfrith is determined to aid her sister in escaping marriage to their family's enemy. Unaware of the sacrifice that awaits her, she leads their pursuers astray only to meet with an accident that forever alters her destiny and takes the life of a young knight whose brother vows he will not rest until the lady is brought to justice. Lord Michael D'Arci is a warrior and a womanizer whose foul mouth and impatience bode ill for all who trespass against him. Falsely accused of ravishment years earlier, he refuses to believe Lady Beatrix's accusations against his deceased brother. However, when he finds himself at the mercy of that same woman who clings to her convictions and faith even when it threatens to prove her undoing, his quest for justice wavers. Members Reviews: Another romance w/o porn :) Normally I'm not a review type person. But because books don't have a rating system like movies, and it'd prefer books less then "R" if they were rated, I'm trying to help others maneuver around this same issue I find frustrating. This book reads like a great historical romance in all ways except w/o the explicit sex details. Thank you! Love & Forgiveness Can Persevere!! This is the 2nd of 3 books in the Age of Faith series by Tamara Leigh. The books in this series are clean read books and can be read by young teens and adults alike. This story continues with the Wulfrith family and focuses on Beatrix Wulfrith who is the sister of the hero from the first book. Beatrix is a woman with strong integrity & faith and Michael is a man who struggles with family loyalties, trust and faith. Their romance blossoms through tragedy and develops into an engaging love story. As I stated in book ones review, this series has Christian elements which gives dimension to the personalities of the main characters. These moral standards increase understanding of the character's motivations which add to the believability within that time period in history. It is not preachy in any way nor does it chastise any belief, rather, it quietly shows that love and forgiveness can persevere. I recommend this beautifully written series to anyone who enjoys faith based romantic stories. . *sigh* WHAT IT'S ABOUT SHE HAD KILLED A MAN. OR SO IT WAS SAID Convent-bound Lady Beatrix Wulfrith is determined to aid her sister in escaping marriage to their familys enemy. Unaware of the sacrifice that awaits her, she leads their pursuers astray only to meet with an accident that forever alters her destiny and takes the life of a young knight whose brother vows he will not rest until the lady is brought to justice. Lord Michael DArci is a warrior and a womanizer whose foul mouth and impatience bode ill for all who trespass against him.

Title: The River Knows Author: Amanda Quick Narrator: Katherine Kellgren Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 490 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Of course, Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was an act of desperation, meant to distract the armed guard who was about to catch the pair in a place they most definitely did not belong. After all, in her dull maroon gown and gold-rimmed spectacles, Louisa Bryce was no man's idea of an alluring female. Clearly, the only thing a catch like Anthony Stalbridge had in common with a wallflower like Louisa was a passionate interest in the private affairs of Mr. Hastings - a prominent member of society whom they both suspect of hiding terrible secrets. Now, thrown into each other's arms by their ruse, Anthony and Louisa are united in their efforts to find the truth. Each has a personal reason for the quest. Months earlier, Anthony's fiancée threw herself into the Thames - or at least, that is the version whispered in London's social circles. Anthony believes someone else may have had a hand in her death - and a murderous one at that. Louisa, whose own identity is shrouded in layers of mystery, is convinced that Hastings has a connection to a notorious brothel. When Anthony successfully cracks Hastings's hidden safe and discovers highly incriminating evidence, it appears that both their instincts were correct. But Hastings is hiding far more than jewels and ledger books. Bringing him to justice will be more perilous than Louisa and Anthony anticipate - and their partnership will be more heated than either expects. For the two share a thrilling attraction to danger, and it is not only Anthony's curiosity that Louisa arouses. Members Reviews: Stand-Alone Victorian Era Romantic Suspense Entertaining whodunit, and Kellgren's narration is crisp yet easy on the ears except for a few abrasive tones assigned to a few male characters. For example, the hero always sounds fine (easy on the ears), but I disliked Mr. Digby's querulous, angry tones (thank goodness, he's just a bit part). With the buds in my ears, caustic tones hurt. This is a stand-alone novel, not part of the Arcane Series, and not paranormal. A romantic suspense, THE RIVER KNOWS is set in London towards the end of the Victorian era. One recurring theme is women's clothing: ******** "But she and Emma were both staunch advocates of the rational dress movement, which held that ladies should wear no more than seven pounds of underwear. As for corsets, the movement had wisely declared them to be injurious to womens health." ******** In the prologue, the heroine kills an English lord in self-defense. A year later, she is living under an assumed name, disguised as a drab, and working as an undercover reporter. I like that kind of set-up -- a fairly common trope in Quick's historicals. A decent whodunit (but nothing special), with snappy dialogue, suspense, humor, and some heartwarming loyalty scenes. A few secondary characters added to the fun, especially Louisa's dear friend Emma and Anthony's delightful, intrepid family. A few psychopathic villains kept the momentum moving, and Inspector Fowler made another welcome appearance. Quick went with her formula, but it's a good one, and at least you know what you're getting. Contents include three sex scenes (one is a fade-to-black scene). Minimal cursing or profanity, but there is some. No pejorative terms for female anatomy.

Pirate captain Nathaniel Kents strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved taking a valuable hostagenot a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister. Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his fathers ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would surely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely battling - a rising undercurrent of impossible desire that could sweep them away for good. Critic Reviews: "An absorbing, fast-paced romancedont miss this wonderful debut." (Jo Beverly) "A passionate romanceexcitingunforgettable." (Amanda Scott) "Impressivethis novel has all the elements a reader craves: delicious family secrets, high seas adventure, and a passionate love story. Read and enjoy!" (Susan Wiggs) Members Reviews: Excellent Subplot! Ho-Hum Love Story! No sex! What did you like best about Of Noble Birth? What did you like least? The subplot teasing out Nathaniel's relationship with his birth family and their motivations was well done. There were unexpected twists and characters introduced in that story line, and I could never be certain if the villains were going to remain villains or if they would perform some act of redemption. That kept me listening. Plus, most of the action (battles at sea, knife fights, etc.) was tied to these characters and their relationships.But the love story between Nathaniel the Pirate and Alexandra the Seamstress....it was just so-so and ho-hum for me. I did not feel the Great Burning Passion that one expects from a romance novel. There seemed to be a lot of S/He-Is-So-Sexy-But-How-Can-I-Be-Attracted-To-This-Person-When-Nothing-Can-Ever-Come-Of-It! Angst which was made all the more aggravating by dialogue and plot devices (Alexandra gets to be a damsel in distress in a rather needless plot detour.) that were just awkward and contrived. Also, it is difficult to find that Great Burning Passion in a story that never has the characters getting carried away by their Great Burning Passion. In other words, these two never have sex. There is a bit of fooling around, but ultimately heads must rule over hearts (and other body parts) according to Brenda Novak. That's not what I'm really looking for in a romance novel. I want escapism, not moralism. More on that below! Would you be willing to try another book from Brenda Novak? Why or why not? Actually, this is the second book I tried by Brenda Novak. The first one was The Bastard. I don't think I will be buying anything else by this author. It appears to be very important to Ms. Novak that her heroine remains a virgin until her wedding night. The main characters in both Of Noble Birth and The Bastard did not have a sexual relationship. This is odd, considering they are romance novels about the attraction, lust, and passion (and eventually love) between grown men and women.

Outraged, Oliver decides to hire a woman from a brothel to pose as his fiancée to prove that he can't be forced into marriage. When he meets Maria Butterfield, a beautiful American woman who is searching for her fiancé in the most unlikely of places, he knows she's perfect for his ruse. But before long, Oliver finds himself willing to risk anything to make Maria his - even his heart, and the dark secret he hides inside it. Critic Reviews: "Filled with larger-than-life characters and lively dialogue, this sizzling romance proves once again that Sabrina Jeffries is a "grand mistress of storytelling.'" (Romantic Times) Members Reviews: Please don't waste your time or your money Oh my. If cheap, formulaic romance fiction is your preferred genre, then help yourself to this one. Maybe you can stand it. This one is definitely not for me. I tried. After all, I had spent a credit on it! I made it about halfway through but by that point, I was laughing out loud at situations and lines that were not meant to be funny. It was just so over the top. So ridiculous. The situations, the language, the salacious and totally unbelievable sex scenes - I just could not take any more. Be warned! Loved it I absolutely loved the book can not wait till the she writes about the brothers and sisters will definitly buy those books as soon as I can You are going to love Lord Stoneville!!! If you could sum up The Truth about Lord Stoneville in three words, what would they be? vulnerable, manly, gentleman What was one of the most memorable moments of The Truth about Lord Stoneville? I love the end of the book when they realize all the mistakes they were making Which scene was your favorite? When they meet for the first time in the brothel Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Ummmmmmmm Certainly turned up the heat, let's put it that way.... SOME GOOD LOVE SCENES I REALLY LIKE THE BOOKS ABOUT DUKES, SO I CAN SAY I REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK. AND IT HAD A COUPLE STEAMY LOVE SCENES. WHICH IS ALWAYS A PLUS. Lame, Formulaic Storyline The storyline is just so formulaic and boring. A very weak story created as an excuse to get from one seduction/sex scene to another. I'm all for light entertainment and I wasn't expecting some deep story - but this is just bad.

Courting Scandal Audiobook by Jaima Fixsen

Title: Courting Scandal Author: Jaima Fixsen Narrator: Lucy Paterson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Nothing's as fun as other people's secrets. A regency romp both on and off the London stage. Laura Edwards, a French émigré fallen on hard times, took to the stage to support her brother's medical career. Now that he's established, he wants her to turn respectable, landing her in the country hiding in plain sight from one of her biggest admirers, Jasper Rushford, the care-for-nothing son of the local viscount. He just might have recognized her... Members Reviews: Gritty Regency romance I wish I had know this was a 3rd book before I started it. I would have read the others first. There is a lot of the other two stories in this. Even switching to the other two sisters points of view a couple times. So it would be better to read this series in order. This was like no other regency book I have read. The cover is so sweet and innocence but the book has a gritty edge that is going to turn some proper regency fans off. This was a different side of regency England behind the actors on stage and in less privileged people. I love how the leading lady took her life in her own hands and fought for a better life. It is sad she had to delve into a world of prostitution, barley keeping her head above water. I enjoyed this and I didn't think I would. It had some fun elements and a good story line that is really different. There is sexual innuendo throughout, this is not your normal proper romance, they talk about sex a lot. There is no sex scenes. This is more a world like the Phantom of the Opera movie. Not the best in the series I'm going to disagree with my fellow reviewers and say that I liked this book the least in the series. There are a number of reasons and chiefly I think it's because I read all three books in a row. I enjoyed the first two so much and again, unlike other reviewers I liked Jasper, the H in this story, from the beginning of the series. I felt like I understood him well and as a result I didn't enjoy his book as much. +++Spoilers+++ Again I didn't love the h because she was stubborn and resistant to the H for no good reason. I couldn't understand her insistence on returning to the theatre after her brother explained his reasons for wanting to take care of her for a change. He said that it was his turn and that at no time had the h ever asked him for input before making her decisions. That just made so much sense to me. The other thing that grated is that the h knew that her returning to the theatre could undermine her brother's position as a doctor if she went back to the stage. She also knew that her time on the stage would be limited to a few more years at best but she's willing to throw away respectability for that and for revenge on the uncle. Finally the ending didn't make a lot of sense to me realistically because I really don't believe that the H could ever have married an actress. He is his father's heir and the father is a viscount. The author did her best to make it feasible but I wasn't buying it. Having said the above, I love the way the author writes and her storytelling is wonderful. She doesn't rely on sex to sell her books and I find that admirable in Regency romance. Perhaps the key is not reading this series in quick succession. A fine third novel in the Fairchild series I really like the character development across these three novels (to date) and the ever deepening insights into each person.

Title: Lord of Winter Subtitle: Lords of de Royans, Book 2 Author: Kathryn Le Veque Narrator: Brad Wills Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 03-22-17 Publisher: Kathryn Le Veque Novels Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 110 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: AD 1187. They call him the Great Defender. As Richard the Lionheart's most powerful general, Sir Juston de Royans is as moody as he is skilled. Reminiscent of the ancient warrior Achilles, Juston fights when it is necessary, instead choosing to command the powerful men beneath him. Never wrong in action or command, he has never lost a battle, and when he finds himself in the midst of a terrible siege at Bowes Castle, he predictably emerges the victor, with the lady of the keep as his prize. And that's when the trouble begins. When the never-wrong egotist meets the flame that will melt his frozen heart, a romance of epic proportions happens. Members Reviews: superb story! Edge of my seat excitement at times. Wonderfully narrated. Loved it. Am planning to listen a second time. Thank you Kathryn Le Veque and Brad Wills. Better than Fantastic! What another SUPER combination of Kathryn's story and Brads voice. I could listen to him all day. He brings every character to life with his ability to change from one to the next and I know exactly who is speaking. I get sucked into thinking I am right there watching everything play out. I have cried, laughed and cringed at times. Lord of Winter I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it kept me interested on what would happen to the lord of winters. Another Winner from Kathryn Le Veque The novel is set against the backdrop of the power struggle between Henry II & Richard the Lionheart. Having lost his family previously in tragic circumstances, Sir Juston Re Royans is reluctant to open his heart again. In fact, he isa rather jaded, rigid yet indolent & self centred at the start of the story. Enter Emberley, a relative of the family who killed his wife, & who stands up to him at every turn. Won't give any more away but just to say some of Kathryn's most notable protagonists the de Lohr brothers, Marcus Burton & Gart Forbes make an appearance in their younger years. Brad Willis is one of my favourite narrators & brings the story alive with the diverse set of characters. Enjoy! I did !

Desperate to rescue her eldest sister from a loveless union, Vanessa Huxtable Dew offers herself instead. In need of a wife, Elliott takes the audacious widow up on her unconventional proposal while he pursues an urgent mission of his own. But a strange thing happens on the way to the wedding night. Two strangers with absolutely nothing in common can't keep their hands off each other. Now, as intrigue swirls around a past secret - one with a stunning connection to the Huxtables - Elliott and Vanessa are uncovering the glorious pleasures of the marriage bed...and discovering that when it comes to wedded bliss, love can't be far behind. Members Reviews: A great introduction to the Quintet Mary Balogh is always exquisite in her writing style. Her dialogue is very refined and flows beautifully. This book served as an introduction to the Huxtable family: eldest sister Margaret is beautiful and a nurturer, middle sister Vanessa is funny and plain, youngest sister Katherine is sweet and very pretty and their baby brother Stephen whom they are all looking after. The first book is the story of Vanessa and Lyndgate. They marry for convenience and then, this being a romance novel, fall in love. What I love about Balogh's characters is that they are flawed but very likeable and the siblings have a strong sense of loyalty and duty. What I found missing is the development of feelings between the 2 main characters. It lacked the depth of feelings that I found in Simply Love which was also about a couple marrying for convenience. I just felt that it was slightly rushed. I was also disappointed that Roz Landor was not the narrator. I just think she is the best for Regency Romance. Nevertheless, it was a good book and I can't wait to know what happens to the rest of the Huxtables, especially Meg and their cousin Con, the most complex and interesting character in the book. Of course, Mrs Balogh left him till the 5th and last book of the series. Get this one and the Simply series, you won't regret it. Totally insipid. This was one of the most boring books I have listened to. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. Awful. Painfully Bad I cannot decide which I hated more: the plodding, pedantic narration or the plodding pedantic writing. I usually love Regency romances and I was looking forward to a series but this one is horrible and absolutely humorless. It is as if the Author tried to lengthen the book by stating the obvious over and over again -- And just in case you didn't get it the first time, she repeats what the characters are thinking a chapter later. No one can be as stupid in real life as the shallow characters Balough has concocted for this book. Save your money!! This book makes Georgette Hyer seem like Shakespeare. Sort of like an occasional chocolate! I got this on sale because it was a fun and light story with enough depth to not put me to sleep or make me laugh out loud at the simplicity of plot. The writing is good. The plot interesting with a few twists and turns. Characters had some depth and development. Not your usual heaving bosoms and darkly handsome misunderstood and incredibly rich secretly wounded older and wiser artistocratic male lead.

She had won his heart without trying... and he can only pray for the chance to give her his. When Findley McKenna returns after his battle with the English to offer Maggy Boyle a home amongst his clan, he finds only death and destruction instead of the young widow who has stolen his heart. The only things left of her home is the burned out hut and decaying bodies of the auld people Maggy has taken care of for the past three years. With only a prayer, his Highlander heart, and a bit of bloodied plaid to cling to, Findley will crawl through hell if he must, in order to find Maggy and her sons and avenge the massacre before him. She had won his heart without trying, and he can only pray for the chance to give her his. How can she place her trust or her heart in the hands of a man she barely knows and maintain her freedom and keep her secrets hidden? Maggy has secrets, and her own hell to crawl through, before she can give her trust or heart to any man. Fearful that the uncle of her late husband will force her into a marriage with another cold and vindictive man, she goes into hiding to keep her true identity secret and her adopted sons together. After her home is destroyed and her young son kidnapped, those secrets begin to unravel, one agonizing thread at a time. How can she place her trust or her heart in the hands of a man she barely knows and still maintain her freedom and keep her secrets hidden? Findley McKenna is her last vestige of hope at keeping both. Members Reviews: Made Me Smile This is the second book in the series which follows Findleys journey to bring Maggy and her boys back to the safety of the MacDougall clan. {As I stated in my review of the first book, Laidens Daugher, this is not a historically detailed series but rather light romances with some historical elements}. This is a feel good adventurous Highland story that is humorous, touching and made me smile more than once. Findley is a Highlander with a big heart. He is so smitten with Maggy that he becomes a fool for love and even lacks judgment at times. Maggy is a strong mother of 5 who tends to be overly secretive, sensible and melodramatic. Findley, Maggy, the boys, Wee William and the highlanders embark on an adventure to heal the wounds of the past and build on hope and love for the future. The narration was great! If you enjoy a good Highland Romance story without detailed sex scenes then this book is for you. What a difference a good narrator makes I'm glad I continued with this series. I was ready to stop after the first book because of the distracting narration but this book was read by Brad Wills and he did a marvelous job. The story was good and held my interest. Maggie was a strong character and her care for her boys was evident. Her actions made me laugh at times. I liked Findley and, of course, Wee William. Overall, this was a good book. I enjoyed the humor There are some very funny scenes that made me laugh out loud. Sweet heroine and an even sweeter hero. This was love at first sight for Findley but it took a bit longer for Maggie. I loved Wee Williams character. Cant imagine a man that size being so gentle and so tough at the same time. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. The narrator did a great job as well. One of my favorite lines from the book, Im not just blowing air up your kilt.

She doesn't remember what he looked like. Crippled by her timidity, she hardly looked at him when they'd met during her first London season. But he had spoken to her father, determined to ask her for her hand. Her siblings, Serena and Benedict, find this highly amusing, but after Honoria overhears a conversation between her parents about their finances, she realises she must marry Mr. Allison, and this constraint leaves her martyred and unhappy and unable to share her feelings. When Mr. Allison arrives, there is another problem. One to do with her sister, Serena. Mr. Allison, (annoyingly handsome and kind) fails to propose as expected and leaves abruptly - but invites the confused family to stay at Bassington Hall, his own country home. His kindness to all her family leaves Honoria with no legitimate excuse to escape marriage. Mr. Scribster, his ugly, unpleasant, unfeeling friend, guesses more than she would like and offers Honoria a place to concentrate her dislike and frustration. Meanwhile, Benedict embarks on an adventure with his rogue of an uncle, Wilbert, to save his childhood friend and neighbour, Genevieve Horton, who has become the unhappy Lady Sumner. By learning some scandalous skills, Benedict hopes to give some options to the most trapped figure in all of polite society - an unhappy wife. When Benedict's life hangs in the balance, all the major players are changed forever and the tangle of romance is finally resolved. Members Reviews: Regency Romance - with plenty of twists & humour Slow and clever plot development, a few sub plots, and humour that in in one part (chapter 25) was extraordinarily funny. The plot starts with a couple of misunderstandings, but an elegent enough reason for no one to communicate their concerns, to get the novel going. I really enjoyed the listen and even towards the end I could not see how the main characters were going to acheive their HEA with only three chapters left. If you liked Clarrissa and the Poor Relations, or if you like Regencies romances with humor and wit, you will not be disappointed at all with this novel. Narrator was very good. Romance, Mystery & Lots of Laughs 4 1/2 This was such a fun book to read that I had trouble putting it down. Ive read 2 novels and a novella by Alicia Cameron in the past week and now have two of my daughters reading them too. So many smiles between us and even outright laughter. Great characters, a bit of mystery, at least one nasty villain, and several heroes and heroines. Lots of warm fuzzy family relationships and even some truly awkward moments working through relationships and mixups. My only complaint is that one of the primary characters is called ugly numerous times by a young lady and ultimately I thought it was a bit much...especially after some changes in appearance and in relationships. To be honest is one thing but as a friendship develops it seems that honestly might have been stated with a bit more warmth or at least less harshness. However, I LOVE the book, the characters, the storyline, and of course the HEAs. Very good narration. A real feel-good listen Any additional comments? I loved the first book by this writer (Clarissa and the Poor Relations), and this one is just as good. Two very different narrators, but both pinned it.

Even the most proper young lady yearns for adventure. But when the very well bred Miss Sarah Clarke-Townsend impulsively takes the place of her pregnant twin, it puts her own life at risk. If the kidnappers after her sister discover they've abducted Sarah instead, she will surely pay with her life.... A rogue... Rob Carmichael survived his disastrous family by turning his back on his heritage and becoming a formidable Bow Street Runner with a talent for rescuing damsels in distress. But Sarah is one damsel who is equal to whatever comes. Whether racing across Ireland with her roguish rescuer or throwing herself into his arms, she challenges Rob at every turn. Critic Reviews: "Exquisitely and sensitively written." (Library Journal) "Intoxicating and not-to-be missed." (Romantic Times) Members Reviews: Unique story line! My Musings I found this book through the Kindle Unlimited program and was able to purchase the audio version for an excellent price as well. I vaguely remembered reading some of the other books in the Lost Lords series years ago, and like Ms. Putneys writing style. I am so glad I discovered this excellent tale of friendship blossoming into true love. Sarah Clark-Townsend willingly puts her life in danger to save her very pregnant sister from kidnappers, bend on spiriting her away, by pretending she is the duchess. While she has longed for adventure, she may have gotten more than she has bargained for. Rob Carmichael, a Bow Street Runner and one of the Lost Lords of the School of Westerfiled, arrives at his friend, the Duke of Ashtons home to find his household in an uproar. The duchess is in labor and her sister has been abducted. He quickly offers to find her sister and bring her home. When Rob finds Sarah, will he be able to get her safely away from her abductors, while still keeping his heart intact, or will this adorable golden chick with a fluffy cloud of blonde hair worm her way passed his barriers? Sarah is an outstanding heroine. She is brave, fearless and intensely loyal, yet able to be a completely feminine woman and a lady through and through. Her tender nature comes through from the first page and only grows stronger as the story progresses. Her easy acceptance of Robs illegitimate daughter, not only acceptance, but willingness to take her in hand, melted my heart. Rob is such a wonderful hero, determined to protect those in his care, a loyal friend and an honorable man all rolled into a handsome rogue in the bargain. The title is great for this story as it fits Rob perfectly. While many were convinced he is a rogue, including his cantankerous grandmotherdelightful character by the wayhe is actually not a rogue at all. He is a Bow Street Runner no less, fighting to right wrongs and defend justice. He has a past filled with heartache and plenty of reason for him to be cynical, but Rob has not let it color his true character. The romance between Sarah and Rob grows steadily as the tale unfolds. There is physical attraction from the start, but neither of them believe they can love again, both having loved and lost in their past. Their marriage starts out based on companionship and desire, but by the end of the story, it becomes a love match that will stand the test of time. I always enjoy friends to lovers stories since I have one of my own. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative by Steven Crossley.

It's been fun listening to a female Narrator read portions of this series!! Lara Did a GREAT JOB!! I LOVE THIS BOOK & CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!!! great story would recommend to anyone who believes in true love. cant wait for the next one. Another great chapter in the Old West... I received this audio book by Caroline Fyffe in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. Katherine is book 6 of the McCutcheon Family Series. It was so much fun listening to this audio book. Hearing Evie and Heather again as they helped Kathrine in Y Knot upon her arriving (even though Katherine didn't remember them). You have to read the book to find out why... Even hearing letters from Lina was great. I love the Mail-Order Brides of the West books. It is so much fun when I read a book and I know the characters from others books, it's like a welcome home feeling. I adore the Old West books too! I love hearing about how life was back then and how nice and sweet everyone was. If only life could be that way now. This book is just as exciting as all the others in this series! Never a dull moment either. The author, Caroline Fyffe amazes me with her writing. I love hearing about just a little kiss was a big deal back then. Even way back then, the women had the powers over men. The narrator, Lara Asmundson did a fantastic job once again with all the voices and accents of the characters, sounding almost like she was there! I love Lina voice and Katherine's voice is really nice too. What a great series to listen to / read.

But bearding the notorious Earl of Angelstone in his den was the only way to stop him from engaging her hot-headed brother in a duel. And that was why she found herself ushered into Sebastian's forbidding presence at three in the morning - and thoroughly kissed before dawn. She was a country-bred innocent - and an intriguing experience for a man who dwelt more in the shadows than in the sunshine. Yet as her boldness drew Prue into one dangerous episode after another, Sebastian found himself torn between a raging hunger to possess her and a driving need to protect her. And the reckless beauty would soon need all the protection she could get. Members Reviews: Not for me. Sebastian is an Earl who is bored, so he investigates crimes for fun. A Bow Street Runner brings him crimes to solve. Prudence investigates ghosts for free. She meets Sebastian and wants to participate in his investigative work. She follows him to a bedroom during a party which does not help. Of course they are seen, so they have to become engaged to protect her reputation. Prudence is a Mary Sue character (poorly developed, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting). She is a young single lady running around without a chaperone. Some of her actions are silly and stupid. There are three or four investigations during the book. The author focused on those instead of developing characters and relationships. There are three sex scenes. There is also a kidnapping and rape scene that is described after the fact. Im usually ok reading about violence and rape, but this one made me feel sick. It doesnt matter to me if its historically accurate or not. But I did not care for Prudences overly wordy dialogue. Other characters use the word ghost. Prudence calls them spectral phenomena to imply her supposedly scientific nature. For example, someone asks her if shes ever seen a ghost. For some reason the memory of the presence she thought she had detected in the black chamber at Curling castle flashed into Prudences mind. There was one instance where I believed I might have discovered a genuine example of spectral phenomena she said slowly. But I was unable to find any evidence to support my conclusion. Another example I believe I may have witnessed some significant evidence of spectral phenomena. Prudence also used the word my lord too much. Heres an example using the word Tom instead of my lord. Are you awake Tom? Would you like some breakfast Tom? What do you want to do today Tom? I saw my sister yesterday Tom. Prudence insists Sebastian mend the problems with his relatives. Ive noticed this author puts family bonds and paranormal in a lot of her writing. They were here. AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR: Anne Flosnik was very good. She used a variety of voices. He male voices werent perfect, but they were better than those by some other female narrators. I like her British accent. It was pleasant to listen to. DATA: Narrative mode: 3rd person. Genre: historical romance with some paranormal. OTHER BOOKS: Im not having good luck with Amanda Quick books. Ive read four and gave them 3 stars or less. However Ive really enjoyed some Jayne Ann Krentz books (her other name).

Crick Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 03-22-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When Edwin Barlow, the Earl of Blakeborough, agrees to help his best friend's impetuous ward, Lady Clarissa Lindsey, in her time of need, he knows that he's in for trouble. He's been hunting for someone to wed, and she'll just get in the way. Although captivated by the witty, free-spirited beauty, he fears that she'd be all wrong as a wife...if she would even take such a gruff cynic for her husband. Yet he wants nothing more than to have her for his own. Clarissa has no intention of marrying anyone - not Edwin, whom she's sure would be an overbearing husband, and certainly not the powerful French diplomat stalking her. But when matters escalate with the diplomat, she chooses Edwin's gallant offer of a marriage between friends in hopes that it will deter her stalker. She expects nothing more than an amiable union, but their increasingly tempestuous kisses prove more than she bargained for. When her stalker's vow to expose the lovers' deepest secrets threatens to destroy their blossoming attraction, will their tenuous bond withstand public ruin, or will Edwin lose all that's important to him to protect his bride? Members Reviews: Can I have my money back? I hate to leave bad reviews because authors put their hearts and souls into their work but here goes... The narrator was good, however the story had me rolling me eyes and wanting to bash the characters over the head to put us all out of our misery. The story was drawn out because they wouldn't talk like 2 normal adults and it was very boring until literally the least 10 minutes. I made the mistake of choosing this book as my road trip listen. LONGEST TORTUROUS DRIVE EVER! I wanted to return it less than an hour into the story but I decided to give it a chance. I should have went with my gut! Wishing I could get my money back. Really Good Story. Fantastic Narration! This book started out a little bit slow but after about 50% really picked up and turned out great. Although the first half you did get to know the characters pretty good. I loved these characters. Clarissa was strong, funny, witty, and just fantastic considering what she went through. Loved her. Edwin was awesome! Handsome with a dry sense of humor, and spoke plainly. If he thought it he said it. Which made for some LOL moments. They had some great chemistry together and the attraction was real and genuine. I loved these two together! Great match. The story line and plot was great! It has a little mystery, a villain, OMG moment, and some of the best sex scenes written. The Study of Seduction was the perfect name for this book. There was so much fantastic dialogue throughout the entire book! Loved it. As for the narration, I really like Beverly Crick these days, well for the past year I think. She gets better and better! She does a great job on the mens voices, the accents are great, her reading voice is very nice and she reads with lots of emotion, laughing, crying, giggling, sighing etc. Everyone gets their own distinct voice. Just fantastic, she has made my favorite narrator list. Totally recommend this book! Well done This was quite good. I liked both main characters and the story moved along nicely Secrets are a big part of this genre and they play a big part in this story. I thought this was well done and I enjoyed it. The narration was good, too.

And who better to benefit from her talent than the worst-dressed lady in the ton, the Duke of Clevedon's intended bride? Winning the future duchess' patronage means prestige and fortune for Marcelline and her sisters. To get to the lady, though, Marcelline must win over Clevedon, whose standards are as high as his morals are...not. The prize seems well worth the risk-but this time Marcelline's met her match. Clevedon can design a seduction as irresistible as her dresses; and what begins as a flicker of desire between two of the most passionately stubborn charmers in London soon ignites into a delicious inferno...and a blazing scandal. And now both their futures hang by an exquisite thread of silk... Critic Reviews: "Richly imbued with sizzling sexual chemistry . . . and deftly embroidered with irresistible wit, Silk Is for Seduction is guaranteed to be a hit on any reader's runway." ( Booklist Starred Review) Members Reviews: Worth the Credit....Fantastic If you could sum up Silk Is for Seduction in three words, what would they be? Worth the Credit! What other book might you compare Silk Is for Seduction to and why? I do not know that I could compare this book. But Ms. Chase is right up there (in my humble opinion) with Lisa Kleypas and Mary Balough. Stellar work. I've only had the pleasure of enjoying two of Ms. Chase's books, but I would buy more if they were available on Audible. Which character as performed by Kate Reading was your favorite? Well, Lucy "Errol" was my favorite character and that's saying a lot because Ms Reading was brilliant as the Duke. Lucy was such a charming character "maniuplative little minx" as her mother refers to hear lovingly. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and I am listening to it again, for the 3 time since my purchase last week. Any additional comments? I LOVE this story, it's believable, entertaining and well written. Let me just say, I would happily purchase the remaining books in the series when they become available. (I'm praying to Audible Gods). Ms. Chase is a fantastic writer, she makes your fall in love with her charachters. I cannot wait to see what happens next! Please make the rest of Ms. Chase's books available for me to enjoy. I do not have time to read for plesaure as I am a gradute student. But Audio books make it possible for me to read (listen) while driving and working out. One of my all-time favorites I love this book. The characters are strong and wonderful. The situation in interesting and different. The narrator is really good. Definitely give this one a listen. Great performance. Classic plot If you could sum up Silk Is for Seduction in three words, what would they be? Wonderfully embroidered romance What other book might you compare Silk Is for Seduction to and why? Lord of Scoundrels of course. Same author, same period atmosphere, with meticulous attention to the details of the culture of the time, same tensions--between classes, and between the sexes. And showing how passion can transcend these differences. With help from plucky, talented, and beautiful heroine, bringing errant aristocrat to heel, using his weak spot for love.

Merry Stewart has had enough! Enough of her brothers, whose behavior would make even the most improper lady blush. Enough of their Highland home, which would surely have fallen to ruin were it not for her. She dreams of escaping into the arms of her betrothed, Alexander d'Aumesbery-even though they haven't yet met. But when they do, Merry is devastated. It seems he's no better than the men in her family. So beautiful, so brazen . . . From the moment he meets Merry, Alexander is determined to make her his. Desperate to convince her he's nothing like the members of her roguish clan, he will prove he is every bit the well-mannered gentleman. Yet, beneath it all beats a heart as intense and uncontrollable as hers. And finally, when his life is threatened, Merry realizes he's the husband she's been waiting for . . . and their passion becomes the one thing that cannot be tamed. Members Reviews: This is a great series Light funny listening, mystery subplot that doesn't over power. It takes a while to get used to the narrator but after listening I really did like her heavy scottish accent. Loved it! This is a great read. I love the humor in all of the Highland books. I can't wait for something new. Odd title but good book! As usual Lynsay Sands has given us another spellbinding and intriguing tale. I always enjoy her plots with their great Loves and all the twists and turns of a good mystery. Her characters spring to life and her visuals form distinct settings for her stories. I enjoy a good Highland tale with it's inevitably hunk of a hero and beautiful heroine wrapped up in a epic love story. This is the quintessential historical romance at its finest. NARRATOR : Marianna Palka is never among my favorites or even close yet I don't totally avoid her either. It is the odd cadence of her performance that bothers me. Her characters are each unique and recognizable and she does not speak with distracting mouthy sounds. Listen to her in the snippet! CREDITWORTY? Yes. HEAT FACTOR: Steamy!! Great Book! Any additional comments? This is a must read book, I think the narrorator did an amazing job in capturing the Irish accent. I found myself identifying with the main character and hoping for a great outcome! Another great Highlander romance If you like romance stories about the Highlanders, I do recommend this one. I will buy more from this author. In fact I did get all the books in this series and loved them all. I just love when I feel like my credit was well spent!

(Church Libraries) Members Reviews: The Rose Legacy Loved it. It takes you ups and downs turns and curves thru her life and his. Excellent story, poor narration I enjoy Kristen Heitzmann's books and this one was no exception. The narration for this book was very poor. the narrator's soft, gentle voice didn't portray the characters well at all. Be patient. It's worth it! very interesting, slow moving story. I gave it four stars, in spite of the rather abrupt ending, in hopes of a second book

For this, he needed loyal warriors. Waryk de Graham soon proved the greatest of these fighters, and was knighted Lord Lion. But his honored position came with a price: a wife chosen for him by the king - a reluctant Viking bride. Daughter of a Gaelic noblewoman and a Viking warlord, Mellyora MacAdin had an imagination that blazed with dreams of ancient myths and tales of adventure. She had already pledged her heart when she received King David's decree to marry the fierce Lord Lion. As he came to claim her, Mellyora swore to resist this barbarian nobleman - only to find herself a willing partner to his seduction. Now, torn between defiance and devotion, Mellyora must decide where her future truly lies, as she discovers the savagery in her family's blood, and the secrets of her husband's heart. Members Reviews: Unique, Funny and Exciting! I have been reading more books these past few months rather than listening to audio-books, because I was making poor choices; either the story was lacking or the narrator spoiled it. But I got lucky with "Come the Morning" . Not only is the story unique, but the author keeps things flowing and exciting. I listened to it 13 1/2 hours straight through except for a few hours of sleep and other necessities. The story is about the daughter of a Gaelic noblewoman and a Viking warlord, Mellyora MacAdin and the King's Champion Waryk de Graham; Lord Lion. Mellyora (who was trouble with a capital "T") had already pledged her heart to her childhood sweetheart when she was summoned to appear before her godfather, King David. When she was told she was to marry the fierce Lord Lion (whom she thought was an old Norman knight) and he would take control of her lands, she decided to disobey King David. She was not going to allow King David to make decisions concerning her future and assumed if she escaped from the castle she could go home and be independent. Once outside the castle, thing do not go as she planned. It had me laughing out loud. The story has all the elements that make a great story. Narrator Sandra Burr gave a good performance. I highly recommend it. Worst narration in audible history What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A decent narrator that could keep track of the characters and which part of the world the book occurred. It vacillated between Scots, Irish, English, some weird scandinavian something or other, and US southern accents. So awful... Any additional comments? Don't do it. Just don't. Or, if you do... be prepared to return. A bit of a disappointment As a long time fan of Heather Graham's romances, I was excited to have the chance to listen to this one. Unfortunately, I didn't like the narrator's voice at all. It just didn't seem right for the story and with all the accents involved, she just couldn't carry it off. It's one of those books I think I would've enjoyed much more had I physically read it, rather than listen to it. liked it immensely COME THE MORNING HAD A GOOD STORY LINE. ALSO LIKED THE NARRATOR. WHICH SAYS ALOT.

Helena concocts the perfect solution to her problem. She asks - begs - James to ruin her. Surely her betrothed will repudiate her if she is no longer pure. And if all her efforts fail and she still ends up married to a horrid man until the end of her days, she will at least once have known true passion. But James is not all he seems. He is, in fact, a wicked lord with a dark fancy. When Helena awakens his desire, he becomes determined to take everything she has to offer and more. No matter the cost. 2014 NTRWA Carolyn Reader Choice Award Winner Members Reviews: Dusk not dark... Quick paced light erotica woven into a sweet romance. Wonderful repartee, witty comebacks a plenty. Lots of spanking, but not darkly done. This book could have existed either with or without, but seems to fit perfectly in the middle of typical regency romance and erotica. I assumed a narrator named Lottie Lush would be good at the sex scenes but not at the story but I was wrong. Pleasantly so. She did a excellent job!! So, story good, narrator good, heated thoroughly and acceptably creditworthy although I got it with a kindle purchase total order price around $4. The little bit of story was good, the rest was sex So yeah, I think Audible put this book in the wrong genre. It should be in the erotica section for sure. There is a little bit of story here in between the sex. The Story was great but it only covered about 20% of the book, the rest was sex. I absolutely loved the characters. Especially Helena. A potentially 10 star story ruined by the author sexcapades. I am sooo glad this was only 5 hours long. As for the narration, it was good. I enjoyed it. I think Lottie Lush did a good job on the male voices. And she read with emotion and had a nice reading voice. All sex, no real story I had never read this author before, I bought this because the summary made it sound interesting. It was all sex no real developed story, I fast forward through most of it. What a wast of money. I'll never buy anything written by this author again. Sex is the story The story line was interesting unfortunately for me, I would rather the story be more developed, instead the sex was the story. Could be summed up with one paragraph! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Start all over and write a book leaving out 90% of the sex! I kept thinking a story would begin, but there never really was any substance from beginning to end. It was short but still a waste of time. What was most disappointing about Sabrina Yorks story? Everything Did Lottie Lush do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? I suppose since there were only three characters that could be counted. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Yes. It was short.

Grieving, she is unprepared for the visit of Sir Cortez de Bretagne, King Edward's garrison commander at Sherborne Castle. Dark and fiery from his Spanish heritage, Cortez is a knight with sultry good looks and a quick temperament. He has also come on a mission. Cortez was the last man who saw Diamantha's husband alive and promised the dying man he would take care of his wife. He has therefore come to claim her. Horrified, Diamantha struggles to come to terms with what de Bretagne is telling her, but in her heart, resentment and hatred stir: Robert Edlington's corpse was left upon the fields of Falkirk and de Bretagne, as the last man to see him, is to blame. Therefore, before Diamantha will become de Bretagne's wife, she makes a demand of him: return for Robert's body and bring him home for a proper burial. And so, the great Questing to find Robert Edlington's body begins... Join Diamantha and Cortez on their great journey from the fields of Dorset to the hallowed grounds of Falkirk, a journey during which they discover great and terrible things about the world, their country, and each other. From the ashes of grief rises a phoenix of great passion, and bonds are forged between Diamantha and Cortez that can never be broken. Members Reviews: My Quest Is You! Kathryn Le Veque is one of my favorite authors so I try to listen to one of her books every few months. All of her medieval books tie into one another nicely but because each book is self contained you never have to read them in order. Its just wonderful to hear about characters you've read before in her other books. The Questing is a medieval romance that is touchingly sweet. The physical and emotional journey of the main characters (Diamantha and Cortez) is the driving force of this love story. Their story is endearing, sweet, and very memorable. This beautifully written book is different from her other books because it doesn't have the usual action packed adventure but rather and emotionally packed journey of love. Narration is perfect! If you enjoy medieval l Romances give this or any of Kathryn Le Veque's books a try. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a Knight In Shining Armor. ;-) Loved it! This was another wonderful story by Kathryn. Tim did a great job as narrator. I loved how she tied so many of the great family's that she has written about into this book! Good one Good story and good narrator. Tim Campbell did a good job. So often the narrator determines my attention. A love so divine, it touches the soul Any additional comments? For it was not into my ear he whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. 13th century poet Kathryn Le Veque always provides a small part of history for me with exquisite detail about people who lived in that period, enticing me further to chase down how it fits into the big plan of our past whether it be political, social, or environmental. Thank God for the ease of access through the internet. This is one of the reasons I particularly enjoy her writing which leans heavily on events of history which Ms. Le Veque expressively uses. I am never disappointed in any of the authors medieval stories. She creates a world I can reach out and touch.

Betrayed more than once by men she thought she could trust, she's learned to rely only on herself. As the oldest of four siblings, she feels responsible for leading her family safely on the Oregon Trail for a new start. Nathaniel Wilder is no stranger to the hardships and dangers of the wilderness. Raised with his brothers by a trapper in the remote mountains, he left behind the mistakes he's made in the past. He's been called reckless and irresponsible, but won't hesitate to help someone in need. A foolhardy mishap puts Nathaniel in the direct path of a stubborn, yet beautiful woman with fire in her eyes. Despite her refusal of help, he is determined to prove she can depend on him. When her pride puts her and her family in peril, Cora accepts that she can't do it on her own. If misgivings can turn to trust, or even love, both Cora and Nathaniel could come out stronger in the end. Members Reviews: It's A Winner! Cora's Pride was enjoyable to listen to. The characters were likable and the story intriguing. Cora is a headstrong woman who acts before she thinks of possible consequences. Like when she trails behind the Wagon Train that will not let a woman without a husband join up with it, or when she follows the man who took her horse into the wilderness not knowing where she was going or if she can find her way back to her family. Nor did she consider a band of renegade Indians could be in the vicinity. Her pride makes her think she can do more than she is capable of. She needs help, but will she accept it from the handsome mountain man who lost his horse and provisions to a band of renegade Indians? Cora's Pride is a clean western romance, narrated by the very talented Cody Roberts. Fantastic story both written and audible. I loved every moment listening to this awesome story with Cody Robert's smooth voice. This was so enjoyable to listen to. I loved the Kindle story that Peggy L Henderson wrote. I have loved all her stories and her characters are written to perfection. She does tons of research for each and every story she writes and you can just imagine the places she describes in each and every book. Cora is one determined woman and it seems like nothing will break her pride. Nathaniel who I so love is the kind hearted man every woman wants to marry. He is sincere, helpful and just refuses to let a group of young woman and young boy to travel alone through the wilderness even when stubborn and prideful Cora threatens to shoot him if he shows his face around there wagon again. Traveling alone without benefit of a wagon train because no wagon master will take a wagon full of unmarried women and young boy, they have enough adventures to last a life time not to mention enough problems to also last a lifetime. Did I mention dangers as well? Enough of those too. Then in the audible version Cody Roberts has a smooth voice to listen to and can make the changes needed for each character so you know which one is speaking. I enjoyed this audible very much and all of Peggy's stories in this form and with Cody's smooth voice he brings out the best in each and every one of Peggy's stories and he brings them to life. Fantastic in all areas and I highly recommend you get both the book and this audible.

Minerva has never met a more infuriating man than the earl of Rathsmere, yet she is intrigued by the torrid rumors she has heard about him...and the fierce attraction pulling her toward him. Dalton does not count on Minerva's persistence or the desire she awakens in him, compelling him to discover her brother's fate.

By July 1914, the ties between Kezia Marchant and Thea Brissenden, friends since girlhood, have become strained - by Thea's passionate embrace of women's suffrage, and by the imminent marriage of Kezia to Thea's brother, Tom, who runs the family farm. When Kezia and Tom wed, just a month before war is declared between Britain and Germany, Thea's gift to Kezia is a book on household management - a veiled criticism of the bride's prosaic life to come. Yet when Tom enlists to fight for his country and Thea is drawn reluctantly onto the battlefield, the farm becomes Kezia's responsibility. Each must find a way to endure the ensuing cataclysm and turmoil. As Tom marches to the front lines, and Kezia battles to keep her ordered life from unraveling, they hide their despair in letters and cards filled with stories woven to bring comfort. Even Tom's fellow soldiers in the trenches enter and find solace in the dream world of Kezia's mouth-watering, albeit imaginary meals. But will well-intended lies and self-deception be of use when they come face to face with the enemy? Published to coincide with the centennial of the Great War, The Care and Management of Lies paints a poignant picture of love and friendship strained by the pain of separation and the brutal chaos of battle. Ultimately, it raises profound questions about conflict, belief, and love that echo in our own time. Members Reviews: A reminder of the truth of World War I Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Not particularly, but I know enough history so that the book was not enlightening to me.I can imagine that someone who doesn't know much about World War I era history would find this more interesting. Also, I agree with the previous reviewer that the best part of the book for me was the description of life on a farm in Kent. I did like her characters too, but I didn't invest in them emotionally because of my knowledge of WWI. If youve listened to books by Jacqueline Winspear before, how does this one compare? I really, really like the Maisie Dobbs series, so this one doesn't come close for me, but it is well-written, it is just not a book I need to read/listen to. What about Nicola Barbers performance did you like? She did a very good job. Her voices were well-differentiated and felt very real. Could you see The Care and Management of Lies being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No, there are much better portrayals of the so-called Great War. Any additional comments? The word matriculate is used incorrectly numerous times; it seems to be used as a synonym for graduation when in fact it means the opposite, the formal enrollment in a college or university (or school). Not up to this authors other books This book didn't work nearly as well for me as Winspeare's Masie Dobbs series does. It was OK I guess but sadly I found it very predictable. I would not recommend it unless you knew nothing about that era and wanted the history lesson. As always Winspeare does a great job with the atmosphere of that time but there is really nothing driving this book as far as story.

The Kindling, the fourth book in the Age of Faith series, is the story of Sir Abel, the youngest and, perhaps, most dangerous of the Wulfrith brothers. "'Tis said family creates a multitude of sins." Helene of Tippet is not her father or her brother's keeper. Yet when she is enlisted to use her healing skills to aid a fallen knight, the secret she holds close threatens to visit her family's sins upon her. Now she is in danger of loving where she should not - a man of the nobility, and one who has cause to despise her if ever he learns of the blood that courses through her veins. Dare she reveal herself? Dare she trust a warrior so bitter and intent on revenge? Dare she love? Sir Abel Wulfrith, a man bred to battle, has the scar to prove one should never trust a woman. But when he is wounded by his family's enemy, he finds himself at the mercy of one who could prove his undoing. Now he faces a battle against which no strategy can prevail, no blade can defend, no heart can escape unscathed. Can he forgive Helene the sins of the father - more, the sins of the brother? Can he reclaim his faith? Can he love? Members Reviews: exceptional story this was a wonderful story, I enjoyed it so much. so exited to read the next one in the series High quality in all areas An Unselfish Great Passionate Love Story In a context of conflict never ceasing to hold ones breath. I do recommend! Redemption I love this addition to the Age of Faith series. Abel is not one of my favorite people, but by the end of the book I see him as a big teddy bear. a warrior yes, buy also soft and lovable on the inside.

Darcy's Passions Audiobook by Regina Jeffers

Title: Darcy's Passions Subtitle: Pride and Prejudice Retold Through His Eyes Author: Regina Jeffers Narrator: Andy Cresswell, Penny Scott-Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 97 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Regency England speaks of love and romance when Darcy's Passions brings to life once again Jane Austen's classic love story. An interpretation of Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Darcy's Passions tells the story from Mr. Darcy's point of view. When Fitzwilliam Darcy comes to Hertfordshire as a service to his best friend Charles Bingley, who has recently let the Netherfield Park estate, Darcy assumes the locals will possess "vulgar" country manners. So, when the opportunity arises, he refuses to dance with Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly; however, from that moment, the woman's charms possess his every waking and sleeping minute. Obsessed with Elizabeth Bennet, Darcy places himself in a position to learn more about her while realizing his social status will not allow him to marry her. He manipulates Bingley and others in order to spend time with her. He tells himself Elizabeth Bennet is simply a "diversion" from the lack of society he finds in Hertfordshire. However, if she is only a diversion, then why does he dream of her as mistress of his estate? Why does he seek her out as a friend for his shy, withdrawn sister? Why does he allow her to speak to him with a saucy attitude? Why can he not even breathe when she is in the room? Why does a raise of her eyebrow or an enigmatic smile or the smell of the lavender she wears create havoc with his emotions? His duty to his family and his estate demand he choose a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him he wants and what Darcy's heart knows he needs are two different things. Darcy is a man in turmoil. He loves a woman he first denies as being worthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage because he does not conform to her standards of a "gentleman." Devastated, he must transform himself into the man she learns to love and respect. Members Reviews: Uneven narration Andy Cresswell's narration, especially the voice of Darcy, was excellent. His voice for Darcy reminded me of Matthew Macfadden's in the movie version of Pride and Prejudice. However, Penny Scott-Andrews' narration was very disappointing. All the female voices seemed to lack emotion especially Elizabeth. They also did not sound very feminine and I longed for Elizabeth to sound more like Keira Knightly or Jennifer Ehle. The story was well done and I enjoyed seeing things from Darcy's point of view. Mr. Cresswell's narration saved the book for me. Darcy addicts: this one's for you Where does Darcy's Passions rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 5, but only because I love Mr. Darcy, and this story is all about him. I alternate between this one and P&P constantly. What was one of the most memorable moments of Darcy's Passions? When he first realizes that he can't live without Elizabeth. Would you listen to another book narrated by Andy Cresswell and Penny Scott-Andrews ? Nope. Andy Cresswell was very non-exciting. Penny Scott-Andrews sounded like a robotic child. I'd LOVE to hear Colin Firth, as he is the ONLY Darcy. Any additional comments? This book is for the die-hard Darcy fans. It has its faults, as other reviewers have pointed out. Jane Austen didn't write it, so that explains a lot.

The Mannequin Audiobook by Suzanne G. Rogers

Rogers Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 11-27-17 Publisher: Suzanne G. Rogers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When she was a poor country girl in a hand-me-down dress, Rosamund saved the Duke of Swanhaven from the brink of despair, only to fall in love with him. Now a celebrated mannequin for an exclusive London dressmaker, her glamorous life is empty without the man to whom she gave her heart. Can a beastly duke and a beautiful mannequin ever find a fairy tale ending? Members Reviews: A Wonderful Story! Lonely orphan Rosamund is living with her aunt and uncle and three cousins in a small village outside London. She's treated like a maid in a household that should be her loving home. When her cousins leave for London to attend the season, Rosamund is sent to work for a neighbor, the Dowager Duchess of Swanhaven. The Duchess's grandson suffered a loss, and his grief and pain are overwhelming. As Rosamund works to draw him out of his misery, she begins to lose her heart to the Duke. I love a good fairy tale and Regency romance mash up! This one had subtle references to Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, with a dash of the Secret Garden. It was a sweet clean romance with two lovable main characters. Aubrey called himself a Beast, but it's not his appearance or his manners that made him one, but the deep torment from losing his family in such a tragic way. Rosamund was a true Beauty inside, and was the perfect person to bring him back to life, spurring him on with alternating charm and slight digs. I liked that they didn't instantly fall in love, but grew to respect each other over time. I absolutely love books about dressmaking and the outfits women wore in that era, and the second half was full of those details. Although I've read books from the dressmaker's point of view, I've never read about a living mannequin before. It was an interesting spin on the usual Regency balls. It was well written and kept me laughing at the sparring between Aubrey and Rosamund, and Aubrey and Joe. A wonderful story! I loved the narration, Stevie Zimmerman performed a different voice for each character and they were a perfect fit. She always makes listening a pleasure. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

She quickly settles back into life in Blessing, teaching Norwegian history in the high school and writing articles for the Blessing Gazette. When tragedy strikes, Anji steps in to run the newspaper and soon finds a kindred spirit in the widower who owns the printing press. As they spend time together, Anji wonders if there's something more than friendship growing between them. But Anji has also caught the eye of a recent arrival to Blessing. He has put his carpentry skills to good use on the town's building projects, including Anji's house. But Anji is torn between her feelings of loyalty to someone who needs her and the chance to build a new life with this intriguing newcomer. Where will her choice take her? Members Reviews: excellent I enjoyed it very much!I can't wait for the next one. There had better be a next one! Read the entire series! This is the last series in a group of series about Blessing, North Dakota. I have read all from start to finish...all in all I'm guessing about 15-18 books. Start at the beginning and read them all! They are very motivating in my own personal life and help me to strive to get back to basics! A big help in my Christian walk and relationships with others as you get to know the characters and see how they lived in the pioneer days. Next book coming out October 2016 and I cannot wait! Good series What did you love best about Streams of Mercy? Referencing God, faith building. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? All 3 books in this series very good. Loved the emphasis on God and prayer without legalism or judgment. The narration in this one was technically not quite right: Can hear a man in the background at times saying "rolling" or something like that, and it got really old hearing Nielsen swallowing, although on all other books I've listened to of hers this is not the case. Overall very good, although sometimes negative, but funny at times too, and really enjoyed the trust and faith in God brought out in the stories.

Three Lessons in Seduction Audiobook by Sofie Darling

Title: Three Lessons in Seduction Author: Sofie Darling Narrator: Mary Sarah Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-13-17 Publisher: Sofie Darling Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Paris, September 1824 Lord Nicholas Asquith needs his wife. Too bad he broke her heart ten years ago. Can he resist a second chance at the love he lost? When Mariana catches the eye of the man at the center of an assassination plot, Nick puts aside their painful past and enlists her to obtain information by any means necessary, even if it means seducing the enemy agent. Even if the thought makes his blood boil. Only by keeping his distance from Mariana these last ten years was he able to pretend indifference to her. With every moment spent with her, he feels his tightly held control slipping. Can she trust the spy who broke her heart? Mariana spent the last decade forgetting Nick. Now she has the chance to best him at his own game, an opportunity she cant resist, even as her view of him begins to shift. Increasingly, she wants nothing more than to seduce her own husband. It's only a matter of time before mad passion ignites, a passion never convincingly extinguished. A passion that insists on surrendering to the yearning of the flesh and, quite possibly, of the heart. Members Reviews: Author's Debut Is Amazing! I loved it!! You Are Forever In My Heart, We Will Be Wild And Brave Together I was hooked right from the first few minutes. I hadn't heard this narrator in this wispy, sexy tone before. I think listeners will love her for what she brings to the story or dislike her for her male voices. That didn't bother me in the least as the story drew me in. The emphasis on words ending in consonants, especially when she said the name NICK. So lush. I had a slight startle each time she read the word FACT as FOCT which sounded too much like the carnal act. And it includes 3 awesome sex scenes. A tale of heartbreak, betrayal and espionage in 1824 Paris. I could vividly see the scenes the author was painting, the dank streets of old Paris. The sights, the sounds and smells. Mariana is no coy English maiden, but a woman of 28, a mother of twins, and her husband has been killed by French spies.... or has he? And who to believe, who to trust? The web of seduction and lies is not just the week in Paris, but the past 11 years of their lives. The minor thing that annoyed me was a whirring sound in the background, like a cassette player and it was throughout most of the audio. I noticed when it went away and then when it returned. Sofie Darling where have you been? We have been waiting for you.

Desperate Duchesses Audiobook by Eloisa James

A marquess's sheltered only daughter, Lady Roberta St. Giles, falls in love with a man she glimpses across a crowded ballroom: a duke, a game player of consummate skill, a notorious rakehell who shows no interest in marriage, until he lays eyes on Roberta. Yet the Earl of Gryffyn knows too well that the price required to gain a coronet is often too high. Damon Reeve, the earl, is determined to protect the exquisite Roberta from chasing after the wrong destiny. Can Damon entice her into a high-stakes game of his own, even if his heart is likely to be lost in the venture? Critic Reviews: "The first in a sparkling new series set in the scandalously fun Georgian era by best-selling and award-winning James, this is a gracefully written, lusciously sensual, delectably witty, and exquisitely romantic historical romance." ( Booklist) "If Shakespeare had written an 18th-century romantic comedy, it might look something like this novel." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Should have been named scandalous duchess Another Eloisa James winner. I love the series though I tend to not read any series in order. Reading other books in between allows me to get out of the writing style of that author and when I go back for another book, I find the stories more enjoyable. This was the case with this book and now I am sorry I read A duke of her own before this book since I find the Duke of Villiers most fascinating. A great mixture of passion, love and impropriety to add spice to this historical novel. A must read. Excellent start to a series! After reading a few of the reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this book. I am so very glad that I did. The author endears you to the characters and makes you want to continue on the journey with the characters in future novels. I am very excited to get to the Duke and Dutchess of Beaumont's story and to see what happens with other characters that were introduced. The love story between Damon and Roberta is lovely and the Duke of Villers is a perfect character to be humbled by the love of a good woman further in the series. I am only dissapointed that Audible does not offer the entire series. I normally don't have time to read, which is why I adore my audiobooks, but I will make time for this series! Worth a credit! An outstanding cast of characters! I thoroughly enjoyed Rosalyn Landor's performance of DESPERATE DUCHESSES. She did a remarkable job with different characters' voices, dialects, inflections; I knew who was speaking (from the performance) prior to the tag (writer telling us who spoke). This book by Eloisa James was full and rich, a tapestry woven of many different story threads. Separate romances between different duchesses and their dukes. While there was one main love story, the secondary were every bit as entertaining and set up the rest of the series splendidly. It made me want to delve into the rest of them! I found the storyline very easy to follow, partially because of the superb narration. While there were far more characters of consequence in this novel compared to other books, I found it very well told. Zero confusion. Interlocking plot elements.

That way its easier to leave them behind. Can't be avoided. But Lysette Rousseau is one female he cant figure out. Beautiful, sensual, seductive, she should be the perfect match for Simon, yet something about her ties him in knots. Bold and manipulative one time, sweetly innocent the next, she is an enigma bound to bring troubleimpossible to resist. Critic Reviews: "The undisputed mistress of tender, erotic romance." (Teresa Medeiros) "Boldly passionate, scorchingly sexy." ( Booklist on The Stranger I Married) Members Reviews: WELL I WAS TEMPED ... AND I'M SO GLAD I WAS Ms Day I love love love all your books and cannot wait for the next one to be released...... but do you realise I can't get my work done properly, my family's living on take-outs and I've now become an insomniac. If you like sexy Georgian romance listens then my tale shows you just how addictive this series is as once you start listening you just won't want to stop. This is another captivating story but this time it's about an evil villain, mistaken identity, three romances - one's heartbreaking, one's fiery and one's about forgiveness. They all have passion, tension, deception, danger, seduction, betrayal and lots and lots of sex by brilliant characters that you sympathise and empathise with. Not really a stand alone listen as most of the characters have parts in previous books. Worth a credit? Yes, but as I've said before, they are all very reasonably priced so splash your cash sit back and enjoy. But a word of warning - get all your work done first and pre-prepare your meals!! not enough focus on the main romance This book is fine if you don't mind the following: 1. A complicated storyline 2. A further complication of French names that are slightly similar (twins called Lynette and Lysette who get confused for each other and you as a listener get confused even though you never see them! also two important male characters De Garnier and De Jardin... these sound slightly similar to me) 3. A narrator who puts an inflection on every single sentence she says. Argh 4. Several romances going on at the same time, none of them fully developed in a convincing way. I love Sylvia Day, but sometimes she does not develop the romance in a satisfying manner, and this was one of those cases where there was too much else going on in the story, and too many different romances... I would have loved to see what happened to both twin sisters in more detail, rather than hear all about the other elements of the plot in such detail. I read all sorts of novels, not just romances, and it is my belief that very few romance authors do a good job of the "side story". Sylvia Day, Nora Roberts and Lisa Kleypas all SOMETIMES succeed - but this book was not an example of that. Hated that this was the last of the series! What did you love best about Don't Tempt Me? The multiple levels of intregue and numerous characters, interwoven to provide an absolutely wonderful plot. What other book might you compare Don't Tempt Me to and why? I have not found a romance/erotica that compares to Don't Tempt Me.

Kelsey wanted help at a dig under an old Scottish castle - with Tomas's twin brother. She couldn't believe it. If his brother was back in their lives, wouldn't Tomas be, too? She didn't jinx it by asking Kelsey that. Nope, but she was on the next flight. Members Reviews: why does Tomas seem like a zombie?? I enjoyed Tomas as the third in the Time Travel Romance series! This story focuses more on Tomas and the spell he was under - and Amber's determination to free him... I enjoyed this book as it is a great way to escape the world and enter a magical place with fun characters! Tavish and Kelsey, Seamus and Sasha, as well as others were growing with the story and fleshed this out beautifully. The different characters are well developed and feel real... The author has created a believable world where we feel we are there! The stories are intriguing and keep you reading til the very end! Again, this is a wonderful book to lose yourself in... when you need an escape with pure enjoyment! The author has written another engaging tale surrounding a group of previously close-knit friends... Tomas and Amber find each other, but... there are obstacles. It's up to Amber to find the way for them both. Here, we find the female taking the initiative to fight for what is right. We find Amber to be a deeper character than she first appears, and you have to love her as she rises to the challenges! I was given an ARC, and I am pleased to share this review. I love this story as well as the previous in this series to have bought them - and I have pre-ordered the next book! If you love adventure, romance, going back in time, fighting evil... you will love Tomas! (And, you might want to read the others as well since you might get hooked!) Time-travel, adventure and romance...and Scottish highlanders. What's not to love? This is book #3 in a series, and though I enjoyed the story of Toma's and Amber, I didn't like it as much as I liked the first two books. It has all the same wonderful characters, and plenty of adventure and romance. I just didn't care for some parts of the storyline as much. Still, it's a good time-travel adventure story, and I do recommend this whole series. I look forward to reading more by this author. "Tomas" is a light, fun romantic romp through the ancient Scottish countryside. The writing is as thin in "Tomas" as it was in the other two books. The author barely introduced most of the characters and didn't make even the main characters more than two-dimentional. She seemed to assume that her readers had already read the first books. The main characters in those two are not given much depth in "Tomas", as if she felt that she didn't need to do more than name them. All in all the book was a light romp through the ancient Scottish countryside where the girl finally got the guy and it ended happpily. The bad guys were dust (so to speak) and the good guys win. A touching finale to the series. All is fair in love and war So much going on as well as the time travel. Very interesting story. Some a little far fetched, but still interesting. I do recommend reading it if you love Highlanders and all the joy they bring to a story. Exciting Another great read.

I was a little disappointed in the end but looking forward to the next Love and Grace Would you consider the audio edition of A Touch of Grace to be better than the print version? I never read the print because I like audio better. What did you like best about this story? The handicap Grace had to overcome! Which character as performed by Stina Nielsen was your favorite? Stina Neilsen can even perform King Kong if she wanted to. She is my favorite narrator. She has such a talent for changing her voice for each character.I will always give her five stars! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes I hated to have to stop, it was so exciting. Any additional comments? I wished she would have had a better ending, I wanted more but maybe it will continue the story of Grace and Jonathen in another series. Loved The Book! This is another great Historal Fiction !

Reinventing himself as Thomas Glendower, he strives to make amends for his past, yet he never imagines penance might come via a secretive lady he discovers living in his secluded manor. Rose has a plausible explanation for why she and her children are residing in Thomas's house, but she quickly realizes he's far too intelligent to fool. Revealing the truth is impossibly dangerous, yet day by day he wins her trust, and then her heart. But then her enemy closes in, and Rose turns to Thomas as the only man who can protect her and the children. And when she asks for his help, Thomas finally understands his true purpose, and with unwavering commitment, he seeks his redemption the only way he can - through living the reality of loving Rose. Members Reviews: An entertaining story What made the experience of listening to Loving Rose the most enjoyable? Story was interesting What was one of the most memorable moments of Loving Rose? When Thomas was found on the beach What does Napoleon Ryan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Yes for sure. the only trouble is that when the narrator is a man, he ends up messing up the woman's voices and if a woman is narrating then men's voices are messed up but still and all together it was a reasonable job. not that I could do any better I might add. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Not a good enough book for a film, but if I did it would be something like second chances? Great story; Poor narration Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? No. Although I enjoyed the story a great deal I think the audio book was ruined by the narrator. I would certainly recommend the book. What was one of the most memorable moments of Loving Rose? The first time Rose kisses Thomas was memorable. The description of the reasons for each persons passion for the other. Thomas' heartfelt attempts to be a better person than he was in previous stories. Would you be willing to try another one of Napoleon Ryans performances? I would as long as it wasn't a romance which requires his attempting female voices. I think he would be very good with a procedural or murder mystery. He has a very deep voice which you would think would be good for romance novels but his phrasing and female voices are atrocious. Romance novels are not his forte. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Thomas realizes what the new meaning his life could be if he only dares to reach for it one of the better stories from Stephanie Laurens. This particular character was introduced in other Cynster novels. He was a bit of a tragic figure with a touch genius. Laurens has written one of her better stories with this tale of redemption. The story flowed well and the strong female heroine was likeable. The narrator did a good job with the voices, not distracting from the story. I'd read or listen to this again. Laurens Delivers Again! Loving Rose is the story of an extraordinary man, made all the more intriguing because of his flaws, and Rose an independent, intelligent, forward-thinking woman.

Can he find a way to secure his own happiness without sacrificing his family's honor, or will his broken promise result in the ruination of the person he loves most? Members Reviews: Delightful, Fun and Clean! I really enjoyed Jessamine's Folly. Just when I thought is was going to be a bit predictable the author threw in a twist! It was a delight to listen to a clean romance with a bit of mystery as well. Characters were well developed, some loveable and others that were just nasty. All performed well by the narrator. I was very glad there was an epilogue. Jessamine's Folly I enjoyed this book very much, both in the ebook and now audiobook formats. I felt for Jessamine, and found myself hoping she and Lord Kirkendale could get their happy ending. Do they? You'll have to listen to find out! Sweet and providing just a hint of Gothic and attention to period details, the characters are well-drawn and I particularly liked the early 20th century period details. fans of late Victorian romance will find this a satisfying listen. Twisted plot I love this type of book and this one was very interesting and I like the characters and I like the reader . Since I buy a lot of audio books to download the reader is very important to me . The author did a good job and I thoroughly enjoyed it More Suzanne G. Rogers, Please I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The theme wasn't all that new, which is fine with me because a good story can be told in so many different ways, but the depth of feeling from all of the characters was very good - in the villans as well as the heros. Love the twists here and there. I hope audible brings more Suanne G Rogers books to its store! Wonderful melodrama and great romance Who was your favorite character and why? Jessamine of course. Enduring, and romantic without being sappy. What about Stevie Zimmermans performance did you like? She always brings characters amazingly to life and her accents are perfect. She's my go to narrator.

Last Night's Scandal Audiobook by Loretta Chase

Title: Last Night's Scandal Subtitle: Carsington Brothers Series Author: Loretta Chase Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: NYLA Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 398 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle, may have survived the deadly perils of Egypt, but back in Regency London, he faces the most dire threat yet: his irrational, emotional family...and the completely uncontrollable Miss Olivia Wingate-Carsington! Descended from a line of notorious - but very aristocratic - adventurers, Olivia has a long history of driving Peregrine to distraction, and her debut into polite society hasn't lessened her flair for drama, or her ability to drag him into her scandalous schemes. All Peregrine wants to do is escape back to his research and the lesser evils of poisonous snakes and tomb robbers, but his family has guilted him into an impossible mission in the Scottish wilds; and Olivia - who is keenly aware that a respectable future of marriage and rules and propriety looms - decides that accompanying him will be the perfect chance for one last adventure. Besides, she really only wants to help, which is why Lisle and Olivia find themselves in a gloomy Scottish castle inhabited by grumpy servants, spiteful ghosts, and craven murderers...and possibly the greatest peril of all: the wayward commands of their very unruly hearts! Members Reviews: Fun, Quirky, Sweet....lots of LOL I must have LOL'd twenty times while listening to this book. The Harpies were so funny. Loved Olivia and Perregrin (Lisle) when they were children in the other books so I was super excited to see them as the main characters in this book. Olivia is a wonderful character. The interaction and dialogue between her and Lisle is some of the best ever. I just wish they would have become a "couple" sooner in the book, but you can't have everything. Definitely credit worthy. My favorite contemporary regency author What did you love best about Last Night's Scandal? The characters of Olivia Wingate Carsington and Percival, Lord Lisle first appeared as children in the earlier Carsington brothers book Lord Perfect. It is Olivia in that book who dragoons Lisle into a wild-goose chase adventure across England. She is a 'dreadful deLucey', an aristocratic family known for their ability to con their way through life. She is a thoroughly delightful zany character who carries a lot of that book and the 13 year old Lord Lisle is an excellent comrade, providing the brakes and the sanity while supporting and protecting the rather reckless Olivia. In Last Night's Scandal, the two protagonists are now young adults. Lisle has spent his teen to adult years in Egypt, his passion, and the hero and heroine have mostly communicated through letters. In the printed book, Olivia has a way of over dramatizing everything, so her letters are full of all kinds of inappropriate capitalization; this is actually very funny in the book, but hard to convey when read, although Kate Reading does a very good job using phrasing and emphasis, but you still miss out on just a bit of Olivia's character, I think. The two protagonists are thrown together by Lord Lisle being brought back to England by his parents and basically being prevented from returning to Egypt. Lisle's parents, who are a bit of a nightmare have decided that they want Lisle to go to Scotland and restore an old castle that belongs to the family. This sets up the plot; Olivia knows how much Lisle wants to be in Egypt and she sets out to 'help' him and save him from his parents.

Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride. Elizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, his broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library. As the two spend more time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected...and absolutely impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster? The Windham Brides series: Critic Reviews: "Grace Burrowes is a romance treasure." (Tessa Dare) Members Reviews: Too much sex. Not enough romance, character, and plot. Very disappointed. I enjoyed the other two Duke books by Burrowes, but this plot was weak and seemed designed only to link the many sex scenes together. Will try another author now. Story boredom! Long drawn out, no passion, no drama, just bah... too bad because the idea of the plot sounded so promising.

I loved listening to this book after visiting Biltmore Estate! Deanne does an incredible job of staying accurate to history! Wholesome Story Sweet story set in a beautiful place! Predictable outcome with characters!!! Great narrator for story!! 4.5 STARS OF YUMMY GOODNESS :) Any additional comments? This is such a sweet story. I love sappy, sweet, love stories. They just make me happy. When I am in a foul mood I know I can pick up a "love" story and just be happy. This book did that for me. Of course it has it's frustrating parts, but that's what keeps me listening :). It's so aggravating listening too a book and knowing that the characters need to get together and they just don't see it. UGH...hehe. Tillie has dreamt about being a ladies maid for years. Her mother has dreamed of it even longer than that. Tillie's mother prepped her for being a ladies maid her whole life. Tillie is a very determined young woman, and does all she can to take over for Mrs. Vanderbilt's foreign maid when she leaves. What Tillie didn't expect is Mack. Mmmm....Mack. Handsome, yummy, sweet Mack. Tillie didn't expect Mack. She didn't expect to be drawn to him. She didn't expect Mack to be such a good man. She didn't expect Mack to watch out for her even without her asking. Mack is who all women wish for. hehe. Book boyfriends. HEHE. Mmmm.mmmm...Mack. This story is so sweet. I loved the setting, the writing, the narrator. Everything. It was just what I was looking for. I love the LOVE story. If you are looking for a sweet, historical romance this book is just the right thing for you. I loved reading about the house, the way things worked in the house. I love reading about it, but I know I never would have been able to live back then! Even if it gets a little aggravating at times. Great story How hard it was to give up on a dream she thought she had wanted all her life. I like this one! Narration and story were good. Lots of action for an inspirational story. this was a good listen.

The Whisky Wedding Audiobook by Elizabeth Ann West

Title: The Whisky Wedding Subtitle: A Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth Bennet Story Author: Elizabeth Ann West Narrator: Nina Price Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-17 Publisher: Elizabeth Ann West Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When Elizabeth Bennet of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice learns of her sister's elopement before leaving for the Peaks District, she and her aunt are off to Scotland to chase the wayward couple. Inn after inn, there is no sign of Lydia or Mr. Wickham, but Elizabeth won't give up. A foolhardy decision to continue to search on her own lands Elizabeth right into the arms of a familiar face...Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Join author Elizabeth Ann West in a tale of carriage accidents, amnesia, and a forced marriage, but happy endings for all. Well, maybe not Mr. Wickham! Members Reviews: The runaway sisters The action begins when word reaches the Gardiner household that Lydia, under the care of the Forsters, has run away with Wickham. While one group searches London for the couple, Elizabeth and Mrs. Gardiner head for Scotland in case the runaways went to Gretna Green. Lizzy wants to search a little farther, so she leaves her Aunt a note and, taking the footman, boards the mail coach. There is an accident and the footman injures his ankle. Nevertheless the pair must walk two or three miles to the nearest inn. Since all of the walking wounded went to the same inn, there is no room or help to be had. By chance, Mr. Darcy has stopped t the same inn to change his horses. He takes Lizzy and the footman to Broadmeadow, his Scottish estate, where he discovers that Lizzy has been injured. 24 Avid Reader I have not read anything by Elizabeth Ann West for quite some time. I saw where she had two other novels this year,,but I didn't see them on Amazon. I have to say that Mr. Bennett really took the cake in this book. Mr. Gardenier cared more about finding Lydia than he did. Wickham seduced Lydia and Georgina and both continued to think that they were in love. Jane soon realized that Bingley had no backbone or spine and changed dramatically in the book. She and Colonel Fitzwilliam became fast friends in spite of his mother's objections. Darcy stayed true to the course with Elizabeth in spite of Lydia, her head injury, and her fear of riding in carriages. Well done! Liszt Tipsy? One of the great things about the Jane Austen novels is the latitude they offer for further or additional development. In this book Darcy and Elizabeth meet--differently. And it is fun and games from that time forward. For a light-hearted romp, I can recommend The Whiskey Wedding without reservation. The book got off to a slow start for me ... The book got off to a slow start for me. I thought I might not finish it. However, it improved. Some of the characters became likeable. The social customs in London were eye opening. There was a little history, a little mystery, and a little romance. Sweet! Another great read from my favorite JAF writer. She really goes the extra mile to get all the little details right. And who doesn't love them some Darcy! When I read i can picture Colin Firth with that partly nervous but soft expression.

The Lord of Blackwell Manor, Miles, is plagued by a family curse that changes him into a shape-shifting wolf every month during the full moon. Lucy, a smart, attractive, and well-respected botanist, travels to Blackwell Manor to take care of her sick cousin, Kate, who is married to Miles' younger brother. For Lucy, the trip is a welcome respite from her work and recent discovery of a breakthrough serum that could eliminate the scourge of vampires from London. But Lucy finds more than she bargained for when she arrives at the Manor. Miles, who is brash and inhospitable, does not take kindly to visitors. He is still unsettled by the mysterious death of his newlywed wife. And then there's Marie, Miles' sister, who was attacked and murdered just weeks earlier. Miles is horrified to think that he might be to blame for the deaths. And who is the ghost that haunt the halls? Lucy is convinced that the death of Miles's wife and sister - as well as her cousin's mysterious illness - are tied together, but how? Lady Charlesworth has her eye on inheriting Blackwell Manor for her family. Could her daughter, Candice, or her son, Arthur, have had a hand in the mysterious deaths? The clues make a vampire suspect highly likely. During her investigation, Lucy finds herself caring deeply for Miles, but he fights to keep his distance in order to protect Lucy from his family's secret. And, yet, he feels attracted to the woman who is able to look past the fearsome-looking scar that has marred his handsome face. With no other option, Miles and Lucy must work together if they are to find the answer to the mysteries at the manor. But that's not all Lucy wants to solve. There's a deeper mystery behind Miles. Can she solve that too? Ultimately, she must decide if she can love the man - beast and all. Includes bonus novella, Marie's Story. Members Reviews: first steam punk but not my last It made my 3 hour car ride fly by. I wanted to keep driving because I didn't want to stop listening. Beauty and the Clockwork Loved it. Exciting from start to finish!! Would read it again. I recommend this book. Fast paced and good This is not my usual genre but I really like the author so I gave it a chance. I was very surprised it kept my interest and was well written. Wow! This book has everything...and done well! This audiobook drew me in immediately. Everything about it was interesting, intriguing, adventurous, appealing and unique. I absolutely loved Miles and Lucy. Truly the perfect romance as well as myriads of adventure, mystery and paranormal activity. AND the narration was wonderful, allowing true discerning of who was speaking at any given time. 5 stars for sure -- and hoping for a possible sequel for Daniel and some of the other characters. Good love story I'm not into werewolves and vampires but I thoroughly enjoyed this love story. Good job!

FAIR, BRIGHT, AND TERRIBLE is the riveting companion to THE KING'S MAN. Wales is conquered, and Eluned has lost everything: her country, her husband, her hope. All that remains is vengeance, and she will stop at nothing to have it. When Robert de Lascaux is asked to marry the woman he has loved for eighteen years, he never hesitates. No wealth has ever mattered to him as much as Eluned has. But she, it seems, does not want him at all. Trapped in a web of intrigue, revenge, and desire, they cannot forget their past - but can they dare to share a future? The title of this book tells you everything. Were accustomed to loving heroines and dark heroes, and while theres nothing wrong with that, the power of Elizabeth Kingstons tortured and ferocious heroine Eluned creates one of the most unforgettable stories of love youll ever experience. Of course it's narrated by Nicholas Boulton. Like many of you, I've been waiting a long time to hear him read new works by fresh new authors, and we're making it happen. Enjoy! Be sure to let us know what you think of Nicks performance! (Laura Kinsale, author of FLOWERS FROM THE STORM). Critic Reviews: "Part history lesson, part romance and wholly engrossing, this book is fair, bright and wonderful. I loved it, hated it and in the end, I can't recommend it highly enough. Readers new to Ms. Kingston - clear your book queues and get ready to immerse yourself in her medieval world. You won't regret it." - All About Romance (Desert Isle Keeper Review) "Elizabeth Kingston writes historical romances that make me fall in love with the genre all over again. Fair, Bright, and Terrible is a ravishing, vividly rendered journey through medieval Britain - and a truly epic romance. Kingston's luminous prose draws us back in time and holds us in breathless suspense as we ache, cheer, and sigh for two extraordinary characters destined for each other." - Meredith Duran, bestselling author of LUCK BE A LADY Members Reviews: Laura Kinsale recomends this book. 'Nuf said! What made the experience of listening to Fair, Bright, and Terrible the most enjoyable? Besides the prose, it was the narration of Nicholas B. that made this story swoon worthy! Who was your favorite character and why? This one's hard, but I'd say that the heroine made this story for me worth the read. Eluned imbued humanity that is all of us. The layers to her character made this woman very relatable. Which scene was your favorite? Eluned's realization that her revenge wasn't worth loosing her love of Robert. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I had tears in my eyes as Robert notices that the birthmark on her neck is not on the side that he remembers it being. This small, seemingly insignificant fact has a profound affect on him. Any additional comments? I loved the first book in this series and was on pins and needles waiting for this story. I have to say that I had my doubts about the authors ability to make me like let alone love the character I so thoroughly disliked in the previous story. Let me say that I was stunned at authors ability of expanding and developing such a rich and deeply flawed, yet likable heroine. Eluned imbued humanity that is all of us.

If she takes the chance, she could have the family she's always dreamed of but it would mean leaving everything she's always known. Believing that opportunity only knocks once, Genny gets on a train west to Elko, Nevada and a new life. She becomes a mail-order bride. Stuart MacDonnell lost his wife in child-birth six months ago. Now he's left to raise a two year-old and a six month-old baby alone. He needs a wife but doesn't want to court someone and pretend to be in love. He'll never love again, but he needs a wife now and orders a mail-order bride. Can Stuart and Genny come together and find happiness when they are at odds with each other? Will they find common ground and will love bloom amid the beautiful Ruby Mountains of Nevada? Members Reviews: Mom Kat Reads Today I decided to indulge in a guilty pleasure of mine and read a Mail Order Bride novel. Why do I call it a guilty pleasure? Because just about every mail order bride book that I have read follows a pretty standard formula. 1) Something happens causing a young woman to need to relocate. Generally she doesnât have a lot of money or options, so she winds up answering an advertisement in a newspaper from a man across the country who is looking for a wife. 2) She takes a long train ride to wherever her future husband lives and marries him the day she meets him. 3) There are usually a number of hardships or difficulties that they must endure and overcome together. And 4) Once they overcome these difficulties together, love wins out and their happy ending is ensured. There are a few variations of this from different authors, but in general thatâs the standard formula. The book I chose for today was no different. âGenevieve: Bride of Nevadaâ definitely counts as your standard Mail Order Bride novel. Itâs one of a series of books that were written by a number of authors. In this series, there is a book for every state in the USA. This one focuses on Genny, a young woman who has just lost her job as a factory employee when the factory burns down. She answers an ad for a Mail Order Bride from a rancher in Nevada who was recently widowed and needs a wife to help him raise his two small children. The problem she encounters after she meets him is that he doesnât intend for it to be a ârealâ marriage. His wife had died in childbirth and he is unwilling to let himself love another woman and risk losing her that way as well. And no ârealâ marriage means that there will never be any more children and no risk of losing someone else. As she really has no other options at that point, Genny agrees and marries Stuart. She falls instantly in love with his children, and they are almost as quickly in love with her. Then she discovers that her new husband intends to share a bed with her, though there will be no physical intimacy between them. (Remember, heâs not willing to risk his heart or to father more children.) Unfortunately for Genny, she truly wishes to have children of her own in addition to the two of Stuartâs that she is helping to raise. As expected, she falls in love with a husband who keeps pushing her away. Next comes the expected obstacle they must overcome.

Storm Eldon was first caught up in the war between England and Scotland as a young girl, when she and her family were held hostage by their sworn enemies, the MacLagans. Years later, Storm finds herself trapped in the clutches of her Scottish adversaries once again. Now she must fight to preserve her loyalties, guard her virtue, and resist the charms of Tavis MacLagan, her handsome Highland captor. Members Reviews: Entertaining Wishy-Washy Highlander!! This one was in my library for a while and I finally got the chance to listen to it. I enjoyed this book because it kept my interest throughout. This entertaining story has adventure, romance, slight mystery, family struggles and intrigue. My only negative statement is that it lacked some believability. Both the hero and the heroine seemed a little over the top with their "feelings'. Storm seems too perfect at times and lacked emotional strength. Tavis is the typical "play the field" type of guy who was a bit wishy-washy. (So many times I just wanted to say "Get some backbone you idiot!). The other characters I found more acceptable and realistic. That being said, I still recommend this book and am giving this story 4 stars because it was the type of book you can't put down.....I had to know how it ended. The narrator also made it easy to listen to. Her accents were really good for each character.. Great romance, wonderful imagery, excellent plot! My first Hannah Howell novel, and all I can say is I am impressed.Ms. Howell is very talented in her ability to draw me into the story and to become absorbed into her amazing world building. This book had the perfect combination of romance, love, battle, family drama, intrigue and scheming to please all fans of Highlander romance.From the moment Storm blew into Tavis MacLagan life, it was changed forever. She is a force of nature and at their first meeting, when she was a young girl; Tavis and his whole clan knew they were witnessing something special. Years later when another opportunity came around for him to claim her as a woman, he jumps at the chance. Now she is his prisoner and he will possess her body, but nothing more. Storm has an amazing ability to weave magic and capture the whole MacLagan clan with her mere presence. I enjoyed the progression of Tavis and Storms relationship, life in the clan and the intricacies that it entailed. I also appreciated the glimpse of these turbulent times and to witness how love could cure generations of fighting and change the future. I found the storyline strong and well-paced; excellence all around. Its a complete package of history, love and action with amazing characters, exciting times and a titillating plot.

After the tragic death of his wife many years ago, he hardened himself to the idea of giving his heart to another. There is only one lass who can thaw his chilly heart, a lass he's never met nor knows of, a lass whose birth won't occur until centuries after his death. Mitsy Fredrickson is in serious need of a distraction. With the ink still drying on her divorce papers, she flies to Scotland determined to forget about her own problems by helping her best friend re-enter reality. She knows Bri's claims that she is able to travel back in time and is currently living in the year 1647 are a lie but, instead of locating her friend, Mitsy falls prey to the same magic and is quickly forced to believe the impossible. Modern and sassy, Mitsy finds few in the 17th century who know how to take her fiery personality, but she finds her match in Baodan, laird of McMillan Castle. He is her opposite in every way, yet she feels balanced in his presence. The more time she spends with him, the harder she falls. She suspects he feels the same way, but something is holding him back - a dark secret from his past that even Baodan doesn't fully understand. Mitsy works to uncover what is hidden in the hopes that with resolution, Baodan will be free to love her. But the truth is darker than she expects, and it threatens to destroy them both. Members Reviews: The Scottish characters have Irish accents wtf??? This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? A teen? Someone with a very low IQ?? What do you think your next listen will be? Something I'll research more so I don't waste another credit on another book this god awful. How did the narrator detract from the book? Let's see...besides sounding robotic, her accents were cringeworthy What character would you cut from Love Beyond Hope: A Scottish, Time-Traveling Romance? Burn it and start over. Seriously. Any additional comments? This author must have a lot of friends. No sane and/or sober person could enjoy this. Fun easy listen Some ppl say not like Outlander ands its not. But, its not meant to be. It is a fun easy listen about time travel to the Scottish highlands. There is something to be said for not being overwhelmed by excessive details and descriptions. Morna's Legacy has great flow, relatable characters and good storytelling. Love conquerors misplaced doubt, anger, and fear of succeeding Baodan comes across Mitsy when she arrives 'from the future' with enough strangely spoken futuristic jargon and a too spirited attitude for a lady of that day and time that Baodan believes that Mitsy may not have all her mental faculties nailed in place. And then there is all the havoc that is taking place in and around Baodan's life, home and extended family that keeps the pace of all the extenuating circumstances revved up to full throttle in a way that makes it seem that there is no hope for a positive outcome for all the troubles. But . .

Title: Bittersweet Author: Colleen McCullough Narrator: Cat Gould Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs Language: English Release date: 08-19-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: In her first epic romantic novel since The Thorn Birds,Colleen McCullough weaves a sweeping story of two sets of twins - all trained as nurses but each with her own ambitions - stepping into womanhood in 1920s and '30s Australia. Because they are two sets of twins, the four Latimer sisters are as close as can be. Yet these vivacious young women each have their own dreams for themselves: Edda wants to be a doctor, Tufts wants to organize everything, Grace won't be told what to do, and Kitty wishes to be known for something other than her beauty. They are famous throughout New South Wales for their beauty, wit, and ambition, but as they step into womanhood, they are not enthusiastic about the limited prospects life holds for them. Together they decide to enroll in a training program for nurses - a new option for women of their time who have previously been largely limited to the role of wives, and preferably mothers. As the Latimer sisters become immersed in hospital life and the demands of their training, they meet people and encounter challenges that spark new maturity and independence. They meet men from all walks of life - local farmers, their professional colleagues, and even men with national roles and reputations - and each sister must make weighty decisions about what she values most. The results are sometimes happy, sometimes heartbreaking, but always.... bittersweet. Rendered with McCullough's trademark historical accuracy, this dramatic coming-of-age tale is wise in the ways of the human heart, one that will transport readers to a time in history that feels at once exotic and yet not so very distant from our own. Members Reviews: 1920s Australia I thought this book would be a historical novel about the changing role of nurses just after World War One and into the 1920s. The story is a tale of Edda, Grace Heather (Tufts) and Katherine (Kitty) two sets of twins. The story is set in the imagined Australian country town of Corunda. The novel underlines several of McCulloughs enormous strengths as a writersuperbly deft characterization, multiple plots that move apace, a warmth and generosity in the telling and dialogue sharp and at times funny. The story starts in a country hospital, nurses and sisterly friendship. In those days a womens was limited in a career choice. She could get married, be a teacher, a nun or a nurse. The four girls are educated and start a new three year nursing program to become an R. N. Australia has just adopted the new system requiring nurses to be educated and licensed. Edda wanted to be a physician but has to settle for a nurse. The storys attraction is the dissection of Australian society during the great depression and the detailed exposure of sex discrimination and feminist struggles in the Australian style. The book had my attention in the beginning with descriptions of the hospital and nursing techniques but unfortunately for me the book turned into a romance novel. I am not a fan of romance novels. Colleen McCullough is Australias most successful author. She lives on Norfolk Island. I enjoyed her book Thorn Birds and her series on ancient Rome. Cat Gould did a good job narrating the book. Another great McCullough story! Her story-telling is amazing along with the superb historical background to make an excellent reading. Ho hum I found it kind of dry. I kept day dreaming and having to rewind. Nothing negative just not exciting.

Members Reviews: Heroine is a bit difficult to like I love Mary Balogh, and I enjoyed this book, but I had a really hard time with the heroine. She was unreasonably obstinate. The Hero was a very nice guy, actually.... Ms. Landor did a fantastic job, as usual. worst in the series! I love love love Mary Balogh but this was the first time I have ever found one of her stories tedious and didn't enjoy it, Rosalyn was awesome like always!! Long and goes nowhere Ugh. If you like a book full of silly arguing and an ending that barely resolves anything go ahead. As usual Rosalyn Landor great in narration. All angst to the end This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Noone What could Mary Balogh have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Read or listen to all her book & love them & relisten or reread them BUT this one did not even seem like she wrote it. Which scene was your favorite? None What character would you cut from Unforgiven? None Any additional comments? This was filled with irritating angst. There is enough of it in the real world. I read romance to escape from such..give me love & tenderness with good story not constant bickering!! Should have taken heed Would you try another book from Mary Balogh and/or Rosalyn Landor? yes What was most disappointing about Mary Baloghs story? Heroine...she was so annoying... she have to defy the hero at every turn...every turn...take it down a notch. What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like? Rosalyn was great per usual. What would have made this romance irresistible? More of a prelude to the 3rd book... Any additional comments? Since i like to complete series i am glad i listen to this but it is the weakest book in the trilogy.

The narrator spoke quite well and even used some Gaelic words with a Scottish brogue. I recommend this novel whole heartily. Great book I loved it! Performance was pretty good too. The only thing I'd change is I wish there had also been a man to do the men's voices as it's hard to listen to a woman doing men's voices. It was done pretty well though Good book This was a good book but I didn't love it. My only issue was that I really didn't feel the love between the H&h. Felt like there was something missing. The narrator was pretty good. No complaints. I would definitely listen to another book by her.

The Black Moth Audiobook by Georgette Heyer

Title: The Black Moth Author: Georgette Heyer Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-13 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 225 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When the dashing Jack Carstares is unfairly accused of cheating at cards, he leaves the country in disgrace. Returning some years later disguised as a highwayman, his reappearance heralds a dramatic chain of events that includes a Duke, a damsel, a duel, and not one, but two kidnappings. Written when she was just 17, The Black Moth was Heyers first novel, but it bears many of the hallmarks of her later romances, being vivid, witty, and peppered with historical insight. Members Reviews: Heyer's First Book--Melodrama in Spades This is Georgette Heyers first book; it appeared in 1921, when its author was only 19 or 20 years old. In a letter to her agent two years later, Heyer herself called it "a very juvenile effort." That seems harsh to me, although the story is definitely over-the-top melodramatic. But even this early in her career, Heyer displayed a sense of humor and sophistication that lift this somewhat silly and highly implausible story above the average. The Black Moth is Hugh "Devil" Belmanoir, Duke of Andover. Even in the presence of Jack Carstares, the oh-so-lovable, handsome, and honorable hero, we are drawn to the villianous Duke. It seems Heyer must have felt the same way; in 1926 she wrote "These Old Shades," one of her best books, in which the lead character is the amoral Justin "Satanas" Alistair, Duke of Avon. "Shades" takes place several years after "Moth" and is set primarily in Paris, but it's recognizably about most of the same characters. "Moth" is definitely the backstory to "Shades," even though for some reason Heyer changed all the names. (Heyer extended the Duke's story to the next generation in "Devil's Cub," and his grandaughter Barbara appears at the Battle of Waterloo in "An Infamous Army.") "The Black Moth" is not one of Heyers Regency (c. 1800) novels, it is set around 1750. The language is arcane but witty. Rhind-Tutt, a narrator Ive never encountered before (I would have remembered that name), takes some getting used to (he r-e-a-d-s r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w) but gets into the action as the melodrama escalates. The climactic duel between Jack and the Duke is great, Jacks agonized rejection (for her own good, of course) of the woman he loves is heartbreaking, and the Dukes hilariously impromptu dinner party at the book's end is a delight. These scenes are as good as any Heyer ever wrote. Thanks to Naxos for giving us this one unabridged. I thought I read somewhere that Naxos will be releasing more unabridged Heyers. If so, there go my credits! Julian Rhind-Tutt is THE BEST narrator ever! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Heyer's wonderfully developed characters come alive perfectly with the voices developed by Julian Rhind-Tutt. What other book might you compare The Black Moth to and why? Georgette Heyers 'sequels' to The Black Moth - These Old Shades and Devils Cub are worth a read. What does Julian Rhind-Tutt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Julian Rhind-Tutt does an exceptional job narrating this book as his voice characterisations are perfect. He understands each character and the way they speak and encapsulates their personalities so well.

Title: Warrior's Revenge Author: Coreene Callahan Narrator: Sue Pitkin Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 394 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Sometimes the only way to love - and redemption - is to make a deal with the devil. After the death of her parents, Lady Aurora de Marquise is left with no illusions. Stripped of her birthright and betrayed by her uncle, escape is her only option. With her life on the line, she narrowly avoids another murder attempt - only to run headlong into Lord Brigham de Mornay, a man most consider a monster. With her uncle's henchmen nipping at her heels, Aurora knows better than to trust a stranger - especially one as compelling as Brigham. Well-honed instincts urge her to flee before his abundant charm takes a nasty turn into aggression - and she ends up neck deep in trouble. Wary, but undeniably drawn to him, Aurora pits her will against his, challenging his authority every chance she gets. But when her uncle manages to track her, she is left with the ultimate choice - surrender to the man who now holds her heart or risk it all trying to escape again. Gritty and fast-paced, Warrior's Revenge brings to life the magnificence of the medieval age while exploring the meaning of honor, duty, and nature of true love. Members Reviews: A little slow and inaccurate The book started off strong but got really slow in the middle. I had to force myself to keep listening for several chapters, but then it picked back up. Something that got on my nerves a little was the use of modern slang and sayings for a historical story. The narrator did a good job of putting emotion into the story, but the guys' voices were terrible. All the voices (girl or guy) were low, lower, and lowest. It was hard to distinguish them. Enjoyed it What made the experience of listening to Warrior's Revenge the most enjoyable? It was your typical medieval romance but there were a few surprises in there and I found it entertaining. I liked the heroine just fine - I think her flaws were a result of her sheltered life and evil uncle. The narrator wasn't my favorite (didn't care for her accent and starts/stops in odd places) but she wasn't bad. Oh and the cover picture is weird since the hero was a baron and granted he was basically a war lord, but the descriptions mention tunic and leggings. Anyway, I thought it was a good value for the price I paid. good story Any additional comments? this book was a good read, the narrator's hesitation between every sentence was aggravating and distracting at first but I got used to it. I would have liked an epilogue but over all I enjoyed the book. Really good historical romance :D 4-4.5 stars This was a really good story. I liked Aurora and Brigham and was really drawn in to their story. It was interesting and engaging enough that I had trouble putting it down until I was done. Aurora is a Lady but due to bad circumstances (both her parents dying) she's been taken in by her uncle who treats her like a slave. He and his wife find any reason to beat her and even make reasons so they have an excuse to do so. One night when it becomes clear that her death at her uncle's hands is close, Aurora decides she has no choice but try to escape. She escapes in the middle of the night with the help with her trusty maid, Nate. Brigham is a Barron and a hard man with a vicious reputation. He's had to fight hard to be accepted because he was illegitimately born but he's made a good life for himself. He was married once but to a horrible woman that ended up dying and leaving him a widower.

One night, to decide his entire life's happiness. Chastened by Charles Bingley following Mr. Bennet's untimely death, Fitzwilliam Darcy determines he will offer marriage to Elizabeth Bennet, but she marries another. Years later, a widowed Elizabeth is mistress of Longbourn, and has vowed she will never marry again. A house party at Netherfield brings them back together, but Darcy will have to win more than her heart if he is to have any chance at making her mistress of Pemberley. Members Reviews: Okay but unremarkable Its a sweet romance (however it is unclean) but there is absolutely no angst in the storyline which made the story very vanilla. It also could have ended sooner than it did as the lengthy ending was unnecessary.

Now Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher has abruptly reappeared in her life at the Presidio army base, but refuses to discuss the inexplicable behavior that destroyed their happiness. Ryan is in an impossible situation. One of the few men in the world qualified to carry out a daring assignment, he accepted a government mission overseas that caused his reputation to be destroyed and broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved. Honor-bound never to reveal where he had been during those six years, he can't tell Jenny the truth or it will endanger an ongoing mission and put thousands of lives at risk. Although Ryan thinks he may have finally found a solution, he can't pull it off on his own. Loyalty to her country compels Jenny to help, but she never could have imagined the intrigue she and Ryan will have to face or the lengths to which they will have to go to succeed. Critic Reviews: "Camden is the master of historical-inspirational romance, and she has delivered another fascinating read with complex, memorable characters and an interesting subplot about the start of the cultured pearl industry." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Reader needs practice. The story was good. However, the reader sounded a lot like Siri, very clipped and halting in her speech. I don't know if it was a problem with my download, but it was annoying to listen to. Mixed reviews The story was pretty good. I do not think it entirely truth-worthy when the author dismisses the need for others to show themselves trustworthy as a woman's silly insecurity. I struggled with the narrator's clipped speech throughout the book which made it sound a little like she was scolding someone or giving a lecture. And she can't do a child's voice. It's only bothersome, not terrible. Not my favourite
I love Elizabeth Camden. She is so talented. I really hope she doesn't leave out God in her books now that she is a best-selling author! The problem I had with this book is that I still don't know why Ryan did what he did?! Poor Jenny! But what courage and grace she showed Ryan to forgive him. Only a Spirit-filled person could be so much like God, I believe. Great performance!

He's rescued from that life by the British Service, who have uses for his particular skill set. Justine DeCabrillac, daughter of the nobility whose parents died in the chaos of the Revolution, is rescued from a decadent child brothel by a woman of the French Secret Police.

London is crawling with hidden assassins, and someone is out to frame Hawker for murder. The two spies must work together to find who's out to destroy them. Critic Reviews: "Just the right amount of intrigue makes this vivid romance a gripping page-turner." ( Publishers Weekly Starred Review Members Reviews: Hawker Ever since I first began reading the series I couldn't wait to hear about Hawkers story!! I am so pleased with this book! It was very well written, the plot was fantastic and the narration was very well done as well! Well done Well drawn complex characters that engage the reader. A smooth flow between the different times and settings. A fun read. Just about perfect! I just finished listening to this series of books by Joanna Bourne for the second time. A vivid evocation of the French Revolution & Napoleonic Wars, these books are thrillers and passionate love stories. Strong men and women, excellent writing, tricky plots, my favorite sort of book. And of all of the series, The Black Hawk is best. We have come to know Hawker and Justine in the other books, now this one fills in the gaps, elaborates, and gives them their HEA after many years of star crossed travail. I recommend reading the books chronologically. You can find the order on the author's website. Great Story! Great Narration! What a great story. I thought this book was so much better than The Forbidden Rose, there was a lot more spy stuff going on. Great plot and story line. I really liked Juliet and Hawker. Awesome couple, with great chemistry and some great sex scenes. There was a lot of dialogue throughout the book. As for the narration, well it was fantastic! I love Kristen Potter's narrations, she gives everyone their own distinct voice and does accents and men's voices so good!

But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London's premier pleasure garden, Harte's Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can't be controlled. He's running the show Bawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn't have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden's larger-than-life owner, he's already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He's not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around...no matter how enticing she is. But love conquers all In spite of her lack of theatrical experience - and her fiery clashes with Asa - Eve is determined to turn Harte's Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them - and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all.... Members Reviews: "One of the Best Non-Sex Sex Scenes Ever" Ashford McNab's narration was very good but the accent changed for Asa Makepeace from a cockney accent to a refined one in a matter of ten minutes. Liked the storyline a lot, characters were very well developed and the draw of the hero to heroine was so perfectly designed by Miss Hoyt that it left no room for doubts. Sometimes I read a story and I wonder why I waisted my time at the end because except outward appearances, title or money, there is nothing else to hint at love, but not so here. As you get further along the story, the love builds and blossoms and the sex scenes add an entire other level. The initial two sex scenes were literally two of the best I have read to date and it was especially amazing because it was done without any physical contact. I enjoyed this book fully and recommend it without a doubt. GIVE ME MORE ASA!!!!! DELICIOUS! The most erotic Maiden Lane yet!!! And the story is pretty good too. This is definitely one of my favorite in the series. There are several I listen to over and over again and this one will be added to the list! Ashford MacNab is the voice of the series! (I wish the few books read by someone else would be re-recorded by Ashford - I'd by them again without question!) You cannot miss this book in this fabulous series. Good read, great narration, gets a bit long Ashford McNab does a great job making the characters come alive! Definitely a sensual adventure. Gets a bit long and boring but the narrator keeps the fun alive. I enjoyed it. Wonderful book. Sweet love story with some very dark details. Sweetest Scoundrel can easily stand alone for a reader who has not yet read any of the many other Maiden Lane books. Elizabeth Hoyt writes both men and women of complexity and depth, individuals, not clichés. Her writing is excellent and does not have the sloppiness of many prolific authors.

Lady Emma Avery has accidentally announced her engagement - to the most eligible man in England. As soon as it's discovered that Emma has never actually met the infamously attractive Duke of Ashbrooke, she'll no longer be a wallflower; she'll be a laughingstock. And then Ashbrooke does something Emma never expected. He plays along with her charade. A temporary betrothal to the irreproachable Lady Avery could be just the thing to repair Ashbrooke's tattered reputation. Seducing her is simply a bonus. And then Emma does what he never expected: she refuses his advances. It's unprecedented. Inconceivable. Quite damnably alluring. London's Least Likely to Misbehave has aroused the curiosity - among other things - of London's most notorious rogue. Now nothing will suffice but to uncover Emma's wanton side and prove there's nothing so satisfying as two perfect strangers...being perfectly scandalous together. Members Reviews: New Top-Ten Favorite Author What made the experience of listening to Wicked Wallflower the most enjoyable? Maya Rodale is now one of my favorite authors. The combination of the really good story and a excellent narrator made this a most enjoyable read and listen. Emma is a wallflower who put her trust into the first fellow (the wrong one) who noticed her and mistook what should have been friendship for "love". Due to some coincidences involving sherry, a letter, a marriage-minded mama and a duke in need of money she becomes fraudulently engaged to the Duke of Ashbrooke. And the fun begins. What did you like best about this story? Ms Rodale writes a very humorous story. Emma may be a wallflower but she is clever and very witty. Ashbrooke may be a charming rake, but he also thoughtful and considerate and very witty.The verbal duals between them are great fun. Aunt Agatha's Fortune Games were hilarious. What I thought was going to be the usual plot with maybe a twist was actually a fresh approach to the Regency Romance genre. I think she read some of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series. It is in the same vein. What does Carolyn Morris bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator, Carolyn Morris, added just the right pop! She really does voice characterization well, whether male or female. Her Ashbrooke was so smooth and charming. At times you couldn't tell a woman reading a man's lines. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed all the way through the book. There were some sad moments (a couple of tears were shed, too), when Ashbrooke's past was revealed and another tragic lost, but on the whole ... very, very funny. Any additional comments? I do suggest Ms. Rodale read Lisa Kleypas or Stephanie Laurens to learn how to properly pen a love/sexual scene. The few scenes she added were a little lackluster and could have been more interesting and imaginative. It didn't detract much from the story, but, it would have made it stronger. Laugh out loud funny romance I totally enjoyed this. It may not have been completely accurate in its historical aspects but this was a totally entertaining book. I laughed a lot. The main characters were great. Blake has become one of my favorites.

Title: Wilderness Trail of Love Subtitle: American Wilderness Series, Volume 1 Author: Dorothy Wiley Narrator: Alan Philip Ormond Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-16 Publisher: Dorothy Wiley Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Two lives. One great love. Tested by a frightening wilderness. Weaving a tapestry of history, romance, and adventure, this epic novel sweeps us into an awe-inspiring, heart-stopping story of love and survival in an emerging America. It is spring 1797. Dreaming of building a better life, Stephen and Jane Wyllie set out across the American frontier in search of a place to call home in a land of savage beauty. With undaunted courage and boundless daring, Stephen, along with his five brothers, bravely plunges toward a wilderness full of terror. But this formidable journey threatens everything Stephen and Jane care about. His courage is undaunted, her passion is deep, but the wilderness is full of terror. Stephen is a hero who won't back down, but will his dream cost him what he values most - Jane's love? This riveting tale by historical romance author Dorothy Wiley brings listeners along on a heroic and breathtaking quest for land across a thousand perilous miles to the Kentucky wilderness - a new world for the brave. Stephen wants only one thing more than land - to keep his wife Jane and their young daughters safe. But he needs land to make a better future for his family, and the frontier lies open to settlement in the new state of Kentucky. The decision to go is not an easy one, and Stephen carefully weighs the risks before undertaking what he knows will be a dangerous journey. A robust blend of adventure and action, heartache and humor, with romance and passion, Wilderness Trail of Love is the first book in author Dorothy Wiley's award-winning American Wilderness Series. Members Reviews: Esceptional historical book. This book is one of my favorite books. Dorothy Wiley is an excellent story teller and I enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for the next one to come out as an audio book. Alan Phillip Ormond does an excellent job of reading it with all the right emphasis in the right places. Wow! Just Wow! Before there was Texas or Montana and couregous, handsome cowboys, there were fearless frontiersmen and women who started the story of conquiring the west through Kentucky. Set in 1797, just after the Revolutionary War, men and women risked their lives, fortunes and futures for the quest of going west. The Wyllie family is just one of many with the vision of what "could be" in the newly formed country. Join Stephen, his wife Jane and their daughters along with his brothers as they venture west from New Hampshire to Kentucky where the grass is plentiful and ranch land is ready to be tamed! I honestly started to listen to this book a bit skeptical, but after about 10 minutes I was hooked! Dorothy weaves an amazing story of love, loss, hate, revenge, passion and destiny. Alan Ormond puts it all together in a beautiful naroration reading! I would HIGHLY recommend Dorothy's series and Alens performance. I cannot wait for book two to come to audible. While you wait for book two's audible, go to Amazon and purchase New Frontier of Love. Wonderful, heart wrenching, and honest This book is so beautiful written it's hard to believe it's actually fiction! The terrors the Wiley family face and conquer make me proud to be an American and honored to be connected to the strong settlers and brave pioneers of previous generations! Wonderful, heart wrenching, and honest this book is amazing!

No, I was thinking I would have enjoyed it more had i read it. How did the narrator detract from the book? Story was ok. But I couldn't get past the narrator. She never fell into the flow.

Title: Enlightened Subtitle: Enlightenment, Book 3 Author: Joanna Chambers Narrator: Hamish Mckinlay Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-17 Publisher: Joanna Chambers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: This is a second edition of a book previously published by Samhain Publishing. David Lauriston has been recuperating at Lord Murdo Balfours Laverock estate for the last five months. At Laverock, he has regained his health and confidence and has found - with Murdo - more happiness and contentment than he has never known before. David is all too aware that some day soon he will have to leave Laverock - and Murdo - and return to his legal practice in Edinburgh, just as Murdo will have to return to his life in London. But when Davids mentor, Patrick Chalmers, asks David to return to Edinburgh to visit him on his deathbed, it seems that day has come sooner than either David or Murdo would have wished. Chalmers begs David to undertake one last piece of business for him: to secure the future of Chalmerss daughter Elizabeth. But to carry out his old mentors wishes, David must travel to London, with Murdo. No sooner have the two men arrived in the capital than they encounter Murdos ruthlessly manipulative father, who reveals a shocking secret that rocks David to his foundations. Whats more, when David discovers Elizabeth is facing far greater danger than even her father feared, he is determined to help her, no matter the cost to his own safety. As the stakes rise, it is Murdo who must choose what he is prepared to sacrifice to keep David at his side, and ask whether there is any possibility of lasting happiness for men like them. Members Reviews: The ending I was hoping for! This book awed me!!! I was so happy to finally get to the last book in this fantastic series, and if the first two blew me away this one was so good I am literally beyond words now. I absolutely, whole heartedly LOVE these books and this story, for ANY historical Romance lovers this is the perfect series!!! Hamish Mckinlay's narration is perfection! There could not have been a better narrator- not only for his mastery of accents and dialects but the depth of emotion he poured into every syllable. I distinctly remember a scene were Murdo is shouting at an innkeeper, most narrators would add anger to their voice but not really yell the lines. He really brought Murdo's aristocratic supremacy and his anger and yelled those lines in such a real way- and yet not painful to listen to for the audio reader. In other parts of the story he whispers softly lines of endearment and passion that are just heart clenching and gut wrenchingly good. It would have been a crime to give this series to any other narrator and I would gladly isten to ANY book narrated by him. We first meet David and Murdo about three years before the events of this book, and the path they shared together since then was as bumpy as the road to Laverock estate, Murdo's countryside home where David has been recuperating from the leg injury he suffered in the end of the second book while helping Elizabeth escape her abusive husband. In the following months they have been living in a bubble, isolated, but free to express their feeling for each other in the safety of Murdo's wealth and the privacy of their rooms in Laverock. Now that David has healed enough they must face the impending end of their romance, each going back to former obligations and lives. The struggles they face are so real, time accurate and identifiable this story really is unlike any other Historical Romance I read before (and I have read many, it's one of my favorite genres).

The Warrior Audiobook by Margaret Mallory

Title: The Warrior Subtitle: Return of the Highlanders Series, Book 3 Author: Margaret Mallory Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-13 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 357 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: From the Isle of Skye to the battlefields of France, Duncan MacDonald has never escaped the memory of the true love he left behind. Deemed unworthy of a chieftain's daughter, Duncan abandoned the lovely Moira to prove his worth in battle. Now, when called upon to rescue her from a rival clan, one thing is certain: Moira's pull on his heart is stronger than ever. Bartered away in marriage to a violent man, Moira will do anything to ensure she and her son survive. When a rugged warrior arrives to save her, the desperate beauty thinks her prayers have been answered - until she realizes it's Duncan. The man who once broke her heart is now her only hope. Moira vows never again to give herself - or reveal her secrets - to the fierce warrior, but as they race across the sea, danger and desire draw them ever closer. Members Reviews: A Love Worth Waiting For...... The Warrior is a entertaining addition to this highland series. I enjoyed the other books in this series so I was looking forward to Duncan's story. As with the other books, the characters are well written and are easily relatable to the heartbreak, struggles, and triumphs along the way. I admired the enduring love between Duncan and Moira and the strong family bond they shared. Oh, and I loved Sar the dog! He was a wonderful addition to the family. My only negative would be that any conflicts in the story got resolved too quickly. The battles could have been a little more suspenseful and challenging. Well, maybe that will happen in the next book in the series. Derek Perkins does a great job narrating. His voice has a way of bringing the characters to life, which I appreciate. Overall, this is a very nice.....feel good book. Second Chance Historical Romance I love second chance romance novels and this was no different. Take 2 lovers from the opposite side of the proverbial track. A well meaning father who thinks his daughter marrying into status equals her being happy. A misunderstanding between lovers and you have a great story The loyal warrior and the lady...ENJOYABLE The 3rd installment in the Return of the Highlanders Series is much like the first 2....sweet, sexy, heartwarming, and just a down-right enjoyable listen. What I LOVE about this series is that the conflicts are solved quickly and the listener isn't waiting an hour for the couple to resolve the issue. Now that also makes it a little less dramatic and maybe in some peoples opinion not the best writing technique, ....but ....I wanted a easy listen that took me through the gamut of emotions without making me sweat for hours at every problem that cropped up! This series is that for me...the perfect feel good romantic series. Get all 4 and start listening! Enjoyable, but follows the formula a bit too long. I enjoy Highlander books that are read by men. Can't stand male voices that sound like women. I no longer even buy Highlander books (or SEAL books or any that involve a group of men, think BDB) read by women. Derek Perkins does a good job of differentiating between male and female voices and he does a great accent, though I'm no expert there. Sounds good to me. The story itself was void of surprises, but still enjoyable. Misunderstandings between the H and the h are common in this genre, but I think this one went on for too long.

Now, in the fourth novel of the Survivors' Club series, Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, has left this refuge to find his own salvation - in the love of a most unsuspecting woman. Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, was devastated by his fiancées desertion after his return home. Now the woman who broke his heart is back - and everyone is eager to revive their engagement. Except Flavian, who, in a panic, runs straight into the arms of a most sensible yet enchanting young woman. Agnes Keeping has never been in love - and never wishes to be. But then she meets the charismatic Flavian, and suddenly Agnes falls so foolishly and so deeply that she agrees to his impetuous proposal of marriage. When Agnes discovers that the proposal is only to avenge his former love, shes determined to flee. But Flavian has no intention of letting his new bride go, especially now that he too has fallen so passionately and so unexpectedly in love. Members Reviews: Mary Balogh and Rosalyn Landor are Enchanting! Would you listen to Only Enchanting again? Why? This is one of Mary Balogh's best novels. She has written about other members of the Survivors Club and I love the series of books. This one caught my interest on page one and held it throughout. Viscount Ponsonby had been in the Peninsular War, been shot through the side of the his head, fell off his horse onto his head, then trampled. He suffered memory, speech problems which caused him to display bouts of seemingly uncontrollable anger that frightened his family. After three years of treatment with six other survivors, he is considered healed enough to resume his role in society. He knows how fragile his control is and fears that his memory is still faulty enough to cause problems. He knows that he can't remember what he can't remember. He expects that unlike his friends who have met women they've come to love and marry, he will never love a woman nor will he ask any woman to marry him. Agnes Keeping is a young widow who lives a quiet, placid life sharing a home with her elder sister. There are secrets in her life about her family that she is content to keep suppressed. She has acknowledges that though she was fond of her late husband, she valued there quiet life even though she was never in love with him nor does she want to meet a man she can fall in love with. Mary Balogh has masterfully built a story of how they meet, have their expectations overturned, how they match and complement their strengths and weaknesses and unexpectedly learn to trust and love each other. It's beautiful love story that deals with very human frailties told with humor, insight, charm and romance. Rosalyn Landor is marvelous in her ability to bring the characters to life with her voice, varying her pitch and timbre to suit the different characters, their gender and station in life. She is the perfect actress for this story. Her voice is so beautiful, it's a pleasure to hear her. Her characterizations are amazingly in their variety. I will listen time and again. What did you like best about this story? Mary Balogh has a gift for writing characters who have a conversation in their own minds, arguing different sides of an issue that is facing them.

Crick Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 163 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: After three failed seasons and a disastrous jilting, Lady Dorothea Beaumont has had more than enough of her family's scheming. She won't domesticate a duke, entangle an earl, or vie for a viscount. She will quietly exit to her aunt's Irish estate for a life of blissful freedom. Until an arrogant, sinfully handsome duke singles her out for a waltz, making Thea the most popular belle of the season. The duke ruined her plans, and he'll just have to fix them. Dalton, Duke of Osborne, is far too heartless for debutantes or marriage - he uses dalliances and public spectacle to distract from his real purpose: finding the man who destroyed his family. When his search leads to Ireland, the last thing he needs is the determined, achingly innocent Thea, who arrives in the dead of night demanding he escort her to her aunt. His foolish agreement may prove his undoing. The road to the Emerald Isle is fraught with unforeseen dangers, but the greatest peril of all might just be discovering that he has a heart...and he's losing it to Thea. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Another very entertaining book. Great narration! This was a great fun story. I enjoyed Thea quite a bit she was smart, witty, feisty, and beautiful. Dalton was awesome and quite a surprise. They made a great couple. The chemistry was great between them. Real and genuine. There was a couple very nicely written sex scenes, not erotica not rated G, but steamy. The story line and plot was great. There were a few surprises that I really enjoyed. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I wont. Just know it was a very good story. Well written, easy to follow and had a lot of fantastic dialogue and characters. As for the narration, Beverly Crick did another great job. The men sounded like men, everyone had their own distinct voice and she reads with a lot of emotion which makes the book come to life. I do hope to see more Lenora Bell books on audible, I like her writing style, characters and stories. I totally recommend this book! YES! I wish there were more Lenora Bell books on audible!!!! And that Beverley A. Crick would be the narrator! Well written, surprising, sexy, thoughtful, exciting, fun stuff! Narrator: Excellent! Heat Factor: Tasteful and even appropriate yet HOT! Creditworthy? YES! Excellent Story, Writer and Narrator. Loved it All! I do not usually review even the most enjoyable books and popular authors. BUT, this Historical Romance, of which I read many, just had a superior quality and level of story telling content that surpasses many I have read. Everything was done perfectly and enhanced by the excellent narrator Beverley Crick. I had never heard her before the two books in this series, but will look for her now! Her reading and interpretation of every voice was spot on and more important in a romance, her narration of the love making moments were absolutely riveting and sensual, passionate and touching and most important to me not gratuitous, not xxx rated, but tactfully described. So you did not feel like you were listening to porn. My ONLY wish is that Lenora Bell has MORE novels coming soon!! Two is not enough for this great romance writer. Better than the first - Good story & FUN I knew I would enjoy Dalton's story. This was fun from the start. I enjoyed it more than the first book in the series. I really like this series.

Particular Intentions Audiobook by L. L. Diamond

Diamond Narrator: Leena Emsley Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-17 Publisher: L.L. Diamond Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Who is this Mr. Darcy and what are his intentions? Like much of Meryton, the Bennets of Longbourn anticipate the arrival of Mr. Bingley and his friends to Netherfield, yet an unexpected visitor is not a part of Mr. Bingley's or Mr. Darcy's plans. While the two gentlemen attempt to control their uninvited guest, Elizabeth Bennet arrives to tend to her ill sister. An overheard conversation, the intriguing behavior of Mr. Darcy, and Miss Bingley's cloying manner all fascinate her, but manage to throw her emotions into turmoil as well. As Elizabeth becomes better acquainted with Mr. Darcy, his world unfolds and, if possible, it is more complicated than the man himself! Mysterious strangers and seducers lurk in the shadows - enough to threaten anyone's equanimity. Elizabeth's courage will be tested as she not only struggles to discover her own heart, but also why danger seems to surround Mr. Darcy. Members Reviews: Great Story But Terrible Narrator Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? if they can tolerate a bad narrator yes How did the narrator detract from the book? She uses the same tone of voice for all characters, so you at times don't know whos talking it gets all mixed up Any additional comments? I did enjoy how Bingley was not a pushover for his sisters Lovely story In essentials this story is a, "What if Elizabeth eaves dropped on everyone?" lol. Elizabeth overhears several things that allow her to get to know Darcy sooner. The real draw of the story, however, is in the subtle changes to characters and relationships woven through this reimagining. Because of this I won't go into more detail, as it would definitely ruin the surprises of the story, but so you have an idea of what type of variation you are getting: There are some passionate scenes but nothing very explicit. Also it is very centered on D&E; the use of other characters and relationships are used to drive their story not as filler or side line plots. (I did listen to it at 1.15x speed as the narrator was rather a ponderous reader, but none of the voices bothered me) Intriguing story I loved this story. It was different and showed pride & prejudice from a different perspective. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes what-if stories and sequels to P&P. Great narrator as well. Very, very well done Leena Emsley does a fabulous job of narrating this book. She has different voices that work well for the characters and my interest was held throughout the book. It was certainly never boring. I truly think she is gifted, it's that good! And L. L. Diamond had written a very good book as well. This is a great match Particular Intentions Riviting from beginning to end. Thoroughly enjoyable except that narrator could have varied her voice somewhat for each character.

Title: West Side Story: The Novel Author: Irving Shulman Narrator: Levar Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-15 Publisher: MonkeyBone Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: West Side Story began on the Broadway stage and was immediately recognized as one of the most creative musical productions of the 20th century. Its success as a motion picture was equally spectacular. A classical story with a modern setting, it still stands as one of the major contributions of the American theater. West Side Story is a musical adapted from Shakespeare's play and was first performed in 1957. Both are stories of unrequited love that end tragically, but there are many elements that make them very different. West Side Story, a tragic love story of Tony and Maria, touches all in many ways. Set in New York City, it introduces two groups, The Jets: an American gang and The Sharks: a Puerto Rican gang. Both gangs attend a community dance in which they plan a fight. Things take an interesting twist when Tony, the former leader of the Jets, falls for Maria, Bernardo's sister. Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks, doesn't want his sister involved with his rival. This is an urban equivalent of Romeo and Juliet. The stories are very similar, but West Side Story has an irresistible urban appeal, an appeal that has been capturing audiences and listeners for many decades. If you're in the mood for a timeless love story, listen to West Side Story. Members Reviews: Engaging!!! MUST HAVE! What did you love best about West Side Story: The Novel? It was very raw and authentic. I felt like the author, and narrator didn't hold anything back, and I sunk write in to the book. What was one of the most memorable moments of West Side Story: The Novel? One of the most memorable moments is when the two heads of the gangs dies.(Don't want to tell you what happens) What about Levar Rosss performance did you like? I loved the narrators performance!!! His voice and tone was very comfortable on the ears. I've listened to a lot of audiobooks and this guy gets into the characters and represents them well. He kept it live with no dull moments! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I know the story. nothing moved me in a different way. Any additional comments? All though the book was excellent without the music to go along with it, I was most impressed with the narrator and how he was reading as if he was a character witnessing everything when he was speaking in 3rd person. Amazing! Very action packed! The story WILL draw you in! I recommend thus is teenagers because of profanity but other than that, this story is a classic! Good and Intense Would you consider the audio edition of West Side Story: The Novel to be better than the print version? Yees Who was your favorite character and why? Tony. The only person who was able to change. What about Levar Rosss performance did you like? He was authentic and kept it real like it was his own experience. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The west side. Dying and Thriving Any additional comments? Very unique and a breath of fresh air for an audiobook. My favorite so far.

Ever since his gallant rescue years earlier, Daisy knew she was destined to be his Duchess. Unfortunately, Auric sees her as his best friend's sister and nothing more. But perhaps, if she can manage to find the fabled heart of a duke pendant, she will win over the heart of her duke. Auric, the Duke of Crawford enjoys Daisy's company. The last thing he is interested in however, is pursuing a romance with a woman he's known since she was in leading strings. This season, Daisy is turning up in the oddest places and he cannot help but notice that she is no longer a girl. But Auric wouldn't do something as foolhardy as to fall in love with Daisy. He couldn't. Not with the guilt he carries over his past sins... Not when he has no right to her heart... But perhaps, just perhaps, she can forgive the past and trust that he'd forever cherish her heart - but will she let him? Members Reviews: hmm.... So... the bemoaning of the thought of "plump" was annoying! And there was plenty of time to give up the theory of a thin blonde English miss and let the voluptuous russet haired beauty be herself.... and that ALMOST happened. I was so disappointed that the this was given SO much weight. (pun unintended), it was such a good story without it. Or rather without beating my brain with it. EXCELLENT NARRATOR! HEAT FACTOR: Non existent. Please don't again! Struggled to finish! She was whinny and too unknowing. I understand the time period but it was too much. okay It was OK. But slow. I felt like it was very redundant. Over all I was disappointed The Duke falls for a "plump", large breasted woman Well well. Where to start? A duke that does not know what's good for him but at the end he makes a successful match. There is no romance prior to the marriage, the Duke had never really seen the "plump", large breasted sister of his best friend as anything but a friend. One day he sees her under the sun and realizes she is all grown up and beautiful (though her being plump and large breasted are continually commented on especially alongside the fact that the duke prefers blonds and beautiful and slim). This coupled with her appearance at a ball, almost half exposed, and of course once he sees the goods, he is lost and soon realizes he is truly in love. Let me see if I missed any other parts.... No I am sure that's it. I had a hard time finishing this book because I did not find the story clever at all. It became a chore to finish it and the end scene was once again about the heroine's nicely plump hands after giving birth. Ugh. All I can say is save your credit on something more engaging. great story loved it...I could feel his pain and hers in return. Like many of the stories of this era there were times I wanted to bash their heads together and make them talk but all in all a good book.

The Spanish Bride Audiobook by Georgette Heyer

Title: The Spanish Bride Author: Georgette Heyer Narrator: David Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 10-01-14 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: When Brigade-Major Harry Smith met the beautiful Juana María, an instant spark formed between the two fiery, energetic souls. The two fell deeply in love with one another from the first moment and the Spanish bride accompanied him throughout all his campaigns, where she rode freely among the troops. The intensity of their marriage is made all the more gripping as it is played out against the Peninsular War of Napoleon versus Wellington. The Spanish Bride is both an endearing true love story and a detailed account of Wellington's battles and strategies, which Heyer studied intensely for this unforgettable novel. Members Reviews: Reliable Historical Fiction Heavy on Facts I knew going in that this was not a light Regency like so many of Heyer's best books. But I found Heyer's account of the Battle of Waterloo in An Infamous Army not only entertaining but educational, so thought I would give this a try as well. And if you like your historical fiction heavy on history and light on plot, you will like this book. Interestingly, unlike An Infamous Army, where the main characters were fictional but surrounded by real historical figures, in this book, even the main characters were real people. And it sounds like they were fascinating people, or at least they led a fascinating life together. Sir Harry Smith seems to be a real life Forest Gump or Zelig. He somehow managed to be on every continent and just in time to be in every major battle over the course of 30 years. He must have spent half his life on ships. And while I am sure Heyer embellished Lady Smith's character somewhat, the fact that she was a 14 year old war orphan just out of a Spanish convent when she met and married Harry Smith, that she followed Harry throughout his soldier's career and that there are so many towns named after her in Africa makes her a fascinating creature. It gets a little dry as we slog through battle after battle in Portugal, Spain and France during the Peninsula war, but Heyer infused the journey with humor and graphic descriptions of the conditions. I did not enjoy this as much as my favorite Heyer novels, but I found it very readable. I recommend. A history of England's war against Bonepart If you enjoy history and especially English battles, this book is an almost daily diary of the English war against Bonepart. The lives of the people who fought the battles, the lives of the people who served them and an in depth view of one couple who met and fell in love, then spent almost three years following the drum. What privations they lived through is presented as only Georgette Heyer could do. It was a little slow going at times, but I have a feeling the author meant for her readers to experience what her characters lived through. A very good book! Couldn't even make it through.... Any additional comments? I love Georgette Heyer's regency novels. I think she is a better and more interesting writer than Jane Austen. That being said, I decided to give all her regency novels a shot and made a list of them in order to be sure I read each one. This book however, missed the mark. I'll have to try it again later. It was so slow and so confusing. I trudged through the first seven chapters, forcing myself to keep listening, and finally called it quits. Heyer likes to use real places and events in some of her books. In this one she uses the war in Spain.

Title: Kiss Me, Annabel Subtitle: Essex Sisters, Book 2 Author: Eloisa James Narrator: Susan Duerden Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-13 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 209 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: The rules of marriage...according to Miss Annabel Essex. A husband must be: Isn't she lucky? She's found just the man! And her chosen spouse is nothing like the impoverished Scottish Earl of Ardmore, who has nothing but his gorgeous eyes, his brain - and his kisses - to recommend him. So what cruel twist of fate put her in a carriage on her way to Scotland with just that impoverished earl and all the world thinking they're man and wife? Sleeping in the same bed? Not to mention the game of words started by the earl - in which the prize is a kiss. And the forfeit.... Well. They are almost married, after all! Members Reviews: Lovely story Any additional comments? Another good book by Eloisa James. I can't imagine living in times like this where what people said about you could alter your life forever. In this book, Annabel Essex has to get married to the Earl of Ardmore because of a scandal brought on by the lies sold to the papers. He takes her to Scotland to wed her in his homeland and promises to not compromise her until they reach their destination and are married. Their journey brings them in a close enough contact that they fall madly and passionately in love. Good storyline, narration and love story. Frustrating leads I generally really like Eloisa James stories but both the leads in this one were very frustrating. Annabel is really not very likable. Even tho she grows up poor and plans to marry a rich man, it doesn't excuse her whiny and self pitying attitude in most of the book. I didn't mind the male lead, Ewan, that much till they get to Scotland and he pulls a trick on her to test her. Then he became a jerk too. Eloisa James is usually witty and fun. This story is just old tired tropes not very well handled. Susan Duerdan was ok. She perhaps whispered too much but she did her best with what she had to work with. funny and sweet I loved it. I laughed a lot. but also a good story. if you want something warm and fun this is it. not as god as the others I really did not like the story line of this book could not finish it..

Perhaps too easy. With three broken engagements to his name, Win is the subject of endless gossip. Yet his current mission is quite noble: to hire a company to repair his familys fire-damaged country house. Nothing disreputable in that - until the firms representative turns out to be a very desirable widow. Lady Miranda Garret expected a man of Wins reputation to be flirtatious, even charming. But the awkward truth is that she finds him thoroughly irresistible. While Miranda resides at Millworth to oversee the work, Win occupies her days, her dreamsand soon, her bed. For the first time, the wicked Win has fallen in love. And what began as a scandalous proposition may yet become a very different proposal. Members Reviews: Fun in a very safe way This story is about Miranda, a modern day, free thinking widow and Winfield Elliot, a man who likes his world to be predictable and orderly. Needless to say, when his house burns down and he needs to rebuild, a woman is the last person he expects to come to his aid, but when no one else is available to help him in the short span of time he has to work with he is forced to utilize Miranda Garret's help. A battle of wills ensues that eventually leads to love. It has some funny and charming moments. The premise sounds promising and it is mildly entertaining but predictable. Those aren't always bad qualities in a book and at the sale price its well worth the price. I really like male narrator, Michael Page, he is very well spoken and I enjoyed his voice. I was disappointed that he made the lead character sound so old and stuffy but I enjoyed all his other voices. Overall, for me, this story was ok. Its a likable story that's fairly reliable in it's plot. Not Ms. Alexanders best work by any means but a fairly safe way to pass the time. I wouldn't waste a credit on it, at the sale price of $7.27 its a value, anything more is a waste of time and money. Kinda Boring... What did you like best about The Importance of Being Wicked? What did you like least? I just coud not connect with the Hero and Heroine. Would you ever listen to anything by Victoria Alexander again? Yes I would Any additional comments? I just could not connect with story or the main characters. The book before this "What Happens At Christmas" was so much more engaging. I got lost in the story and lost track of time. I love when books do that. This book however just couldn't keep my attention. Good story, but narrator distracted me. Setting: England, 1887 Genre: Romance Narration: I gave it 2 stars because I'm polite. Alrighty then... I cannot like Michael Page's voice, because it sounds like he is speaking from the back of his mouth, as if his vocal chords are tangled up. It wasn't irritating enough to make me turn off the book, but it did keep me from falling into the story as I do with a really good narrator. I will get the books I really want on Kindle rather than audio if he's the narrator. The story has a nice plot. The hero is Winfield Elliott, Viscount Stillwell. He has the reputation of being somewhat of a rogue, plus he has had 3 broken engagements. But when his house burned, his stuffy side comes out, and so do his conservative ideals. The heroine is Lady Miranda Garret, a widow with a secret.

But when her former love, Joseph Wythe, insists on ensuring her safety, she must decide if the vengeance she seeks is worth the danger of his nearness. For the love she once felt is liable to grow deeper and more threatening to her heart than it ever was before. Leaving his young ward to join the fight for liberty is the hardest thing Joseph Wythe has ever done. Nearly. The most difficult happened ten years past, which he tries his best to forget. Seeing Hannah Young again after all this time does something frightening and wonderful to his soul. Though her determination to spy for the Patriots is honorable and brave, he will never allow her to take such a risk without him to protect her, no matter how she protestsand no matter how he knows he will ache all the more for the thing he always wanted and still could never have. Members Reviews: Page-turning Adventure "I would do anything for you. I would do it a thousand times over if I knew it would keep you from suffering" - Joseph Wythe "So Pure A Heart" is a captivating story, sure to touch your heart and remind you of the greatest Love of all. From the very beginning I felt pulled into the mystery and intrigue in this delightful, page turning story. Often I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next. The story opens during the throws of the Revolutionary War. A tumultuous time, when being a Patriot could get you hung for treason and often the lines between friend and foe were blurred. Hannah's bravery in the face of her deep loss, speaks volumes to her strength of character and her willingness to further a cause greater than herself. Joseph is determined to put the needs of other's first, even at the risk to himself. He never stopped loving Hannah, even though it has been 10 years. He is determined to see that she is safe. Hannah & Joseph's story is full of raw emotion, and I felt every heart-throbbing moment right along with them throughout this engaging book! I enjoyed reading the previous three books in the Daughters of His Kingdom series and I am eagerly anticipating the next book. ÂThose new to the series won't feel like they are missing out if they start with this book, however, you won't want to miss the other stories as they are just as captivating as this one! (I purchased a copy of this book for my collection. I was not required to write a positive review. The thoughts and opinions are my own.) American History At Its Finest Coming up on our country's celebration of Independence Day, the timing of this book is perfect. Looking back it still amazes me the risks and sacrifices colonists gave so the dream of becoming our own nation could occur. The depth of deception Washington's spies had to resort to is chilling. From the violent takeover of Ensign's foundry, to Stockton's vile lusting for Hannah, to Joseph and Hannah's feelings solidifying, British that spied on the Patriots behalf, and one character making the ultimate sacrifice, this book has many layers intricately woven.

Title: Beauty and the Beast Author: Hannah Howell Narrator: Mary Jane Wells Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 155 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: On the eve of her wedding to the heir of Saiturn Manor, the stunningly beautiful Gytha is shocked to learn that her betrothed, a man she barely knew, is dead. Now she must marry the new heir, Thayer Saiturn, a battle-hardened knight, known as the Red Devil. With a face scarred in battle and a heart broken in love, Thayer has no interest in marriage. But not even the Red Devil can break the promise his foster-father made years ago, and he soon finds himself married to a woman whose exquisite beauty and sweet innocence intrigue him. But can his new bride look beyond his scars to find the hidden passion and undying love locked deep inside him? Members Reviews: Good Story -- Not So Good Narration! Gytha, a famously beautiful young woman, was betrothed at birth to the heir of Saitun Manor. The times being fraught with danger, her father deemed it safer to just betroth her to "the heir" whomever that might end up being, rather than a specific heir. For most of Gytha's life, that was decent, handsome William. On the eve of her wedding, her father decided it was time to tell her that William was dead. He'd known for a while, but didn't think she needed to be told until now that she's to marry ROBERT. Gytha does not feel comfortable with Robert, even though he is nice looking, but she will do her duty. Imagine Gytha's surprise when she arrives at the altar to find she's actually marryingTHAYER. Thayer, the heir second in line from William, was believed killed in France, until he showed up to attend the wedding of his cousin WILLIAM... or so he thought. Thayer a renowned warrior known as the "Red Devil", scarred both in battle and of heart, does not want to marry the beautiful Gytha, fearing she could not be happy with a scarred, red haired husband and would not be faithful to him. I liked the story, but the narration ruined it for me. Mary Jane Wells does not have the ability to change her voice enough for different characters to be easily identified. She reads quite fast, and without proper distinction between Gytha and Thayer (as well as others), it takes awhile to figure out who is talking. I cannot recommend "Beauty and the Beast", because of the narrator. Good Overall Performance, good story Would you try another book from Hannah Howell and/or Mary Jane Wells? My favorite book by Hannah Howell, Highland Champion, sounds like an overdramatic constipated old man read it. That reader is excellent with Canadian/American style books, but is so fake in British/Scottish as to be a constant irritant. As that reader did many of my favourite Hannah Howell books, no, I would not buy those from Audible. Mary Jane Wells is excellent with conflict and cantankerous novels, but she has such a limited way of reading that I fear she would miss the mark for a novel requiring softer reading. She did a good job with this novel, but doesn't seem to have a large enough range to do many different styles of readings well. If youve listened to books by Hannah Howell before, how does this one compare? This one is better than the ones I have heard, all by a certain reader. What aspect of Mary Jane Wellss performance would you have changed? I would have softened it, made it less shrill. Was Beauty and the Beast worth the listening time? Yes.

Daniel de Lohr, son of David de Lohr (Steelheart, Rise of the Defender, Archangel, Unending Love), is a highly trained knight of the highest order from one of the finest families in England. But he is also a wanderer, a gypsy, who prefers to travel rather than be tied down to one castle, one lord, or even one woman. He loves his vagabond lifestyle, much to the distress of his parents, who wish he would settle down. But Daniel's wandering ways come to a stop when he comes across a young boy running for his life across the Yorkshire moors. In that instant Daniel's life changes forever. Saving the child from the man who is chasing him, Daniel returns the boy home. The child's home is a fortress known as Shadowmoor, a desolate and derelict place harboring a cavalcade of dark and tragic secrets. Among those secrets, the once-proud Saxon fortress is now forced into poverty by a local lord who covets both the castle and the young boy's sister. When Daniel first lays his eyes upon Lady Liselotte l'Audacieux, he immediately understands the wicked lord's obsession. A tall woman with hair the color of bronze, Liselotte is a fine beauty. But she is trapped in a terrible situation. As Daniel comes to know her and understand her strife, he vows to help the woman and her family fight off the wicked lord. But his determination does not come without a price; the once-wandering knight is now a champion for the persecuted of Shadowmoor, and his admiration for Liselotte quickly turns to love. He is tied to her whether or not he wants to be, and the coming battle, and the odds against him, are staggering. Calling upon his father and his uncle, Christopher de Lohr (Rise of the Defender), for assistance, it is fight or die. Can Daniel return Shadowoor to its former glory? Can Liselotte's love tame the wanderer? Enter the world of Daniel and Liselotte to find out what the glory of love really means. Members Reviews: It Was Okay! Where does Shadowmoor rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It doesn't rank very high. What other book might you compare Shadowmoor to and why? Although a unique story line, overall it is similar to many books about Knights and ladies in distress. What does Brad Wills bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His narration makes the characters come alive. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I couldn't improve on Shadowmoor. Any additional comments? I've enjoyed several of Ms. Le Veque's books more than this one. Shadowmoor I so enjoyed this story immensely!! It's such a joy to have family and friends from previous books show up in the current book. I loved the humor, good natured ribbing, and banter between the men! I really like David, he's smart, funny and quick witted. Having Brad Wills as the Narrator makes an extraordinary difference!! He did a fantastic job bringing it all to life. This story stands on its own, you don't have to have read any of the others books though I'd recommend them as well. I have been listening to the Audible version and Brad is the Best! I thoroughly enjoyed David's story! Excellent. What made the experience of listening to Shadowmoor the most enjoyable? Kathryn Le Veque has written another outstanding story.

One handsome young man has all the goodness, while the other the appearance of it. How is she to separate the gentleman from the cad? When Darcy joins his friend, Bingley, on a trip to Meryton, the last thing on his mind is finding a wife. Meeting Elizabeth Bennet changes all that, but a rival for his affections appears from a most unlikely quarter. He must overcome his naturally reticent disposition if he is to have a chance of winning her favor. Elizabeth's thoughts turn to love and marriage after her sister, Mary's, engagement. In a few short weeks she goes from knowing no eligible young men, to being courted by two. Both are handsome gentleman, but one conceals secrets and the other conceals his regard. Will she determine which is which before she commits to the wrong one? Members Reviews: Very Good Story but... Reader's voice was too babyish. They were young ladies. Her voice made them seem like preteens. And Jane the older sounded like a baby where as the youngest sounded older. Excellent Pride & Prejudice Variation An excellent third installment to the "Given Good Principles" series. In the first two books, we see back stories for Darcy and then Lizzy. in this book, we see how their different backgrounds affect their interactions once they meet. Highly recommended! The Narration Ruins This... This book is fine. Unfortunately, all the author's work is to no avail due to the overtly affectatious performance of the narrator. Pearl Hewett is absolutely horrendous! Not only should she tone down all those high pitched, whiney, and sometimes nasally women's voices, but she should stop trying to imitate men's voices completely! (Seriously...we're begging you...please stop.) Just do what you're paid to do...read the book. Honestly, this made me cringe. I couldn't even finish listening to the book. A+ for the story. F- for the lame performance. Narration kills it. How could the performance have been better? I couldn't stand the narrator's performance at all. Her interpretation of male voices put in mind old crochety men. It's very off putting. I enjoyed the previous two volumes and I'm upset that the conclusion I was so excited to get was spoiled by the performance.

To her dismay, her guardian enlists the devilishly attractive Lord Leventhorpe, the one man she detests, to assist with her coming out. Since their first encounter, hostile looks and cutting retorts have abounded whenever they meet, yet she cannot deny the way her body reacts when he's near. So perhaps it's no surprise that upon overhearing another woman scheming to entrap Tristan into marriage, Blythe risks all to warn him. Haunted by childhood trauma, Tristan, the austere and controlled Marquis of Leventhorpe, usually avoids social gatherings. So why, against his better judgement, does he agree to aid his closet friend in presenting the Culpeppers? Might it be because one Culpepper stirs more than his interest? Blythe taxes him to his limits with her sharp wit and even sharper tongue. Yet, he cannot deny that her beauty fascinates him. However, when an old enemy comes calling, using Blythe to settle old scores, Tristan must decide if protecting his honor is more important than winning the heart of the woman he has come to love. Members Reviews: Great book and awesome narration.. Another great romance from Collette Cameron. I just loved all the Bs: Blythe, Brooke, Brette, Blaire and Blaike. And I loved the other players: Tristan, Raven, Whitehouse, Maddox, Francine and Hawk. I despised Burlington, Rosemary Sanford and Phillips, who got exactly what he deserved, but it would have been better if hed died. What little was told about why Tristan could be so cold and unfeeling was pretty awful, it just showed what a truly horrible his father was. BUT as he drew closer to Blythe the more his walls came down. This really was a very good love story but also a story showing just how depraved men could be way back then and how the ton were never held accountable for their wicked deeds. There was no sex but there was love and affection and passion. You dont need sex when you have all that. At least, I dont. As to the narration: Again, Stevie Zimmerman was fantastic. Her male voices are wonderful and her emotions are fabulous. I love listening to her. great book the story line was great and the narration was wonderful, I would definitely recommend this book Too much internal dialogue What did you like best about Blythe: Schemes Gone Amiss? What did you like least? The story line was good. The heroine does not immediately fall for the hero. She likes him and their relationship grows. The issue is that they discuss so much internally. At one point the hero's internal dialogue indicates that it wants to slap the hero and I agree. If the h/h talked to each other, then they would have been together faster. The hero has some emotional issues and it would have been better to have them get together earlier and try to solve his issues through the evolution of their relationship, but the author did not go this way. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) There is always a HEA in a regency romance, so I am not sure why this is a good question to ask. If the h/h get together in the end it is usually okay. What do you think the narrator could have done better? There is always a hollow sound to SZ narration. I think this is the recording and not anything she does.

Title: Unseen Love Author: Nancy Kimball Narrator: Tiffany Halla Colonna Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-17 Publisher: Nancy Kimball Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: She has an uncertain future. He has a hidden past. Can a forbidden romance set them free? In the shadows of pagan Rome, Laelia Ricarri's recent blindness destroys her hopes of a betrothal to escape her abusive father. For Drusus, his new mistress is more capable, and beautiful, than she knows. Still tormented by the sins of his past, the only thing he fears more than falling in love with his mistress is failing her in his task. But his newfound faith has made him an enemy of Rome, and the reemergence of an old feud with a calculating rival threatens to ensnare Laelia within its dark grasp. As Drusus reawakens Laelia's inner strength, his patient encouragement is awakening her heart. She's learning to trust, as Drusus must also learn to trust in his God. When the indiscriminate tide of tragedy sweeps through Rome, Drusus and Laelia will have to put their faith in each other to survive. Even if that means being parted forever. Members Reviews: For me: a surprisingly beautiful story I love history, but not so much of a romance fan, but this book turned out to be such a beautiful listen I had trouble putting it down. Set in Rome, the main character (Laelia) wants to escape her father's abusive home by marrying, but she has to find a man her father will approve of. Her slave (Drusus) wants to be free, but his duty is to God, who requires him to be faithful to Laelia and her wicked father. When Laelia and Drusus form a friendship that leads to much more, they both feel trapped, knowing their relationship is forbidden by Roman law. This book is realistic, seems to have been well researched as to the societal norms, and thus has a bit of gritty side to it as well as the aspect of Christian persecution. The descriptions of the living areas, streets, and marketplaces give the listener the sense of being there; one can almost feel and smell the scene. Despite the trials and tribulations of the main characters, this is ultimately a story of submission, perseverance, hope, and redemption all done in honoring God in a time and place where that was a challenge. The narration was excellent in the varying voices, but it did take me a little bit to get used to the cadence of the narrator. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a historical, Christian-based, novel set in Roman times; even more so if one is also looking for the romance genre. A review copy of this audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in return for this unbiased review. My hope is that this review helps in your decision to obtain this book. If You Love Roman Era Historical Fiction What did you love best about Unseen Love? Laelia and Drusus are such complex characters with an intriguing cast of supporting characters, both villains and protagonists. Also, the descriptions of life in Rome from the fuller's shop (think urine-based dry cleaners) to the bathhouses and Colosseum. What was one of the most memorable moments of Unseen Love? When Drusus teaches Laelia to serve and feed herself, and how he makes himself at home cleaning up Laelia's house and repairing the fountain.The ending - no details because, spoilers! Which scene was your favorite? Where Laelia, Drusus, and Naomi go to the market and bathhouse. The details are so rich. Same with the visit to the fuller's. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Bought to teach her how to live.

But the Club's members have a higher, secret purpose: spying for the Crown. Rohan Kilburn, the Duke of Warrington, has quite a reputation. He's "The Beast" - a debauched rake whose many exploits echo in the countryside surrounding his ancient familial castle. In truth, he's devoted his life to the Inferno Club, swearing off love for duty in an attempt to thwart a tragic family curse. Beautiful spitfire Kate Madsen wants nothing to do with "The Beast" after she is mistakenly abducted by smugglers and delivered into his fearsome clutches. Rohan similarly refuses to fall for her, mindful of the many dangers in his life. But when she starts to thaw his icy heart, Rohan knows he will do anything to make Kate his own. Members Reviews: Absolutely Amazing! Superb Narration! I loved this book! It was so good from beginning to end! Wow was this story good. I really loved these two characters together. Rohen and Kate had some great chemistry and banter. Some of the best written sex scenes I have read. Just excellent writing and story telling going on here. The story line and plot was great. I loved the conspiracy, kidnapping, sword fight, mystery and all the action. You don't get a lot of that in historical romance books but this one had it all. I highly recommend this book 100% As for the narration, well Marian Hussey is one of my very favorite narrators so not only was the story good the narrator made it even better. She does such a great job on the men's voices. Every person gets their own distinct voice and her reading voice is amazing. She reads with emotion and is just a super narrator! First time to read this author.... and the author is very talented. Brought the characters to life. I am currently on my second one right now. Highly recommended! Kate had such a darling character I really enjoyed reading this book although it took me almost a week and a half to do so. The characters seem real and the interactions believable. I have purchased another book I have been wanting to read but I would love to get back to this series after I finish that book and find-out what happens next. I AM LOVING THE INFERNO CLUB SERIES!! Would you listen to My Dangerous Duke again? Why? Yes It a great story with great Narration What was one of the most memorable moments of My Dangerous Duke? When Kate the Heroine see her father for the first time in 17 years Which scene was your favorite? I have many favorite scenes. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? No films Any additional comments? My Dangerous Duke is exceptional story in the Inferno Club series. This story is Rohan about the Duke of Warrington. He is also know as the Beast and he is an Assassin for the Order Of St. Michaels. In this story Warrington has returned to his ancestral home Kilburn Castle.

Though every lad she meets is entranced by her comeliness, shyness prevents her from speaking with them. Part of what silences her is the fear that beauty is all she has to offer. She longs for something more, for a deeper calling and sense of purpose, for a stronger connection with a lad. Desperate for help, Lina leaves home to stay with Jennie Cameron, her closest childhood friend. There, at the Cameron keep, Lina will meet the Highlander of her dreams and discover that her destiny is much richer than she ever could have dreamed. As soon as he encounters Avelina Ramsay, Drew Menzie feels an overwhelming need to protect her. Never before has he met a lass who is at once so comely, so kind, and so strong. For reasons he keeps to himself, Drew does not wish to settle down and take a wife, but he cannot deny that Lina calls to him like no other lass. So when a neighboring clan threatens her, he steps forward to act as her protector. Little does he know that protecting Lina will prove a complicated task, for she has newly discovered otherworldly abilities that both set her apart and make her a target. Lina and Drew have the potential for a blissful, harmonious future, but conflict is about to shake the Highlands - and Lina is fated to play a pivotal part in the outcome. Members Reviews: True Love is out there for everyone to find. I have mixed feelings about this novel. It's the first in the series that I have listened to and due to my impressions I am not sure I would listen to another one, but I may consider another format. I do not think the narrator was the right fit for this book. I think he made the main female sound whiny and the main male sound like a 14 year old. So, I wouldn't likely enjoy listening to this narrator in more of the series. I always feel a female character does a better job creating a male voice and that way the Avelina who was the most voiced would sound like an actual female. I enjoy highlander novel and may consider reading another one but in an ebook form so I can hear the characters' voices in my own imagination. One area I feel Keira Montclair can improve upon is her romance scene. love the entire series!! A Strong family of great characters. I love how Montclair added all her characters from the past novels in the series, to this one. It was nice to know they will all live happily ever after. I rarely write reviews HOWEVER This was the best well written series I have listened to. I have read / listen to well over 300 books in the past yr. This series had you wanting more after each chapter. She brings the characters to life. You feel the pain and desperation in solving there dilemma. You will laugh, cry and will feel the love they have for each other in family and marriage. I loved how each book involved the other characters from each book leading to next. Yet each was so well written that if you didnt get to read the others you knew what was going on and could stop if you wanted but I dont think you will want to. Anna P great read read all 8 very good story all have strong men & women great story line and narrator's excellent. clan grant I have enjoyed every book so far . thank you so much , please send me your .books list .thanks again

Twice he has been close to the altar and still no duchess. Will the third time be the charm? A duke can't marry just anyone. His wife must be of good family, be fertile, and be young. Struggling playwright Sarah Pettijohn is absolutely the last woman Gavin Whitridge, Duke of Baynton, would ever fall in love with. She is an actress, born on the wrong side of the blanket, and always challenges his ducal authority. She never hesitates to tell him what she thinks. However, there is something about her that stirs his blood, which makes her perfect for a bargain he has in mind: In exchange for backing her play, he wants Sarah to teach him about love. And he, in turn, has a few things to teach her about men. Members Reviews: Another Wonderful Cathy Maxwell Book I haven't read/listened to a Cathy Maxwell book for some time now. I always loved her novels. Well, this book is another hit. As usual, the author brings all emotions into her story. Gavin and Sarah are both strong characters. They know what is expected of them; however, love prevails - as it should. This story is quite entertaining in itself and I was surprised by the ending. I loved it. Ms. Maxwell, please continue to give us wonderful stories. Excellent! Excellent book and narration. Highly recommended . Mary Jane Wells really takes over the characters roles to perfection. Bravo . One of Cathy Maxwell's Best Cathy always writes wonderful characters and stories that excites and warms my heart. These characters and this story will take its place as one of my favorites. Can love be satisfied with such a deep divide between the lovers? That was my question? Loved spending time with these characters! Cathy Maxwell is brilliant I enjoyed this easy listen. Cathy Maxwell's wit and charm are showcased in this second in this series. I find our female lead believable in her quest to have her love mean something solid and I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good actress getting her leading man! Simply Perfect I enjoyed this book. The writing is superb and no detail left out. The hero Gaven is multifaceted and swoon worthy. I found myself a little jealous of the heroine. Sarah is a strong woman with layers to her as well. I enjoyed this book so much. It is my favorite in the series. I hope everyone loves this twisting story as much as I did.

A Most Extraordinary Pursuit Audiobook by Juliana Gray

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/829/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Most Extraordinary Pursuit Author: Juliana Gray Narrator: Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Known for her original plots, deft characterization, and lyrical voice, Juliana Gray presents an extraordinary novel of an uncommon pursuit. February, 1906. As the personal secretary of the recently departed Duke of Olympia - and a woman of scrupulous character - Miss Emmeline Rose Truelove never expected her duties to involve steaming through the Mediterranean on a private yacht, under the prodigal eye of one Lord Silverton, the most charmingly corrupt bachelor in London. But here they are, improperly bound on a quest to find the duke's enigmatic heir, current whereabouts unknown. An expert on anachronisms, Maximilian Haywood was last seen at an archaeological dig on the island of Crete. And from the moment Truelove and Silverton disembark, they are met with incidents of a suspicious nature: a ransacked flat, a murdered government employee, an assassination attempt. As they travel from port to port on Max's trail, piecing together the strange events of the days before his disappearance, Truelove will discover the folly of her misconceptions - about the whims of the heart, the motives of men, and the nature of time itself. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Nicola Barber perfectly captures this opinionated, forward-thinking Englishwoman.... Her smooth, engaged narration leads listeners through this unlikely adventure, which includes Greek mythology, time travel, and ghosts. Listening is a light and fun escape." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: This Book Would Have Been A Hot Mess... ...in the hands of a less skilled author. Instead, it was enchanting! And the narrator, Nicola Barber, made the experience extremely enjoyable. Terrific author, fantastical premise and utterly delightful performance---who could ask for more?!? Ehhh? This is just a crazy mish-mash of incidents that don't seem to be satisfactorily tied up at the end. I didn't especially like Emmaline, and the reader's interpretation of her voice as wimpy and breathless, almost whispery was just annoying. Lords Silverton and Olympia were annoying and not charming or loveable - and Emmaline should have knocked Silverton flat when he showed his true colors. And ghosts? Where did the ghosts come from? (Although Queen Victoria was my favorite character in the book - a dead woman was more lively and believable than the living characters!) And, what were the Americans doing? I've listened twice, and I've read it once, and I just don't get it. I didn't feel like there was any resolution - the author just decided to stop writing.

Title: The Lion and the Crow Author: Eli Easton Narrator: Scott Richard Ehredt Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 07-14-15 Publisher: Dreamspinner Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 317 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: In medieval England, duty is everything, personal honor is more valued than life itself, and homosexuality is not tolerated by the church or society. Sir Christian Brandon was raised in a household where he was hated for his unusual beauty and for his parentage. Being smaller than his six brutish half-brothers, he learned to survive by using his wits and his gift for strategy, earning him the nickname the Crow. Sir William Corbett, a large and fierce warrior known as the Lion, has pushed his unnatural desires down all his life. He's determined to live up to his own ideal of a gallant knight. When he takes up a quest to rescue his sister from her abusive lord of a husband, he's forced to enlist the help of Sir Christian. It's a partnership that will test every strand of his moral fiber, and, eventually, his understanding of the meaning of duty, honor, and love. Members Reviews: Scott Richard Ehredt is PERFECT Any additional comments? I will admit I was hesitant for this audio book - not only because it's a historical romance, which can be an iffy thing when dealing with M/M unless it's AU, but because when I listened to the sample the narrator, Scott Richard Ehredt, sounded like a stuffy old British guy who would bore me to death. God, was I wrong! Scott Richard Ehredt is PERFECT. He blew me away. Seriously...Blew. Me. Away. The characters and time (late 1200's to early 1300's) are beautifully, and even lovingly, portrayed. The only thing I didn't love about this was the ending (even though it totally fits). The ending killed me. I hated the ending. I wish someone had warned me. RECOMMENDED! Intense, exceptional story Would you listen to The Lion and the Crow again? Why? Yes. I enjoyed the character developement, the overall story and the subjectm matter. What does Scott Richard Ehredt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? As with his other works, he brought the story alive. I enjoy the various voices and differences he brings. He has passion in his words and the story flows. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I got a bit sniffly!!! lol. Any additional comments? The author in my opinion made a fabulous story out of historic events and fictional ones. I loved it. Excellent book and audio!! Excellent book and audio! What an excellent narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Books by this author are some of my favorites. Rungs above on the ladder of homo-narratives So well written! Situated in time and space, rich with historical imagery, and not lacking in steam. Far from shallow 'boy meets boy' contemporary ear fills: this narrative was cleverly written and performed with excellence. The hopeless romantic and history nerd in me dreaded hearing "we hope you have enjoyed this audible...." Unexpected. Who was your favorite character and why? It would have to be Christian The Crow...so witty. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, the ending was a shock. It brought to light the feeling of true love and finding your soul mate; that life is not worth living without ones better half. Any additional comments? I've read this book at least 4 times since I've purchased it (Sept 2015) ...and every single time I cry.

An Enchanted Spring Audiobook by Nancy Scanlon

Title: An Enchanted Spring Author: Nancy Scanlon Narrator: Jane Jacobs Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 125 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Nancy Scanlon continues the time-bending saga she began with The Winter Laird, pulling heroes and villains alike through the portals of time to help save their futures and find their truest loves. A time travel accident has left Aidan MacWilliam, younger brother of a medieval Irish laird, trapped in the future. Though he's become a successful entrepreneur in the 21st century, Aidan still can't banish thoughts of the world he left behind. In search of distraction, he heads to New York to scout a PR person for his cousin's matchmaking firm, Celtic Connections. Emmaline Perkins might be the perfect candidate. A PR expert and closet medievalist, Emma has always put work before her social life. When a breathtakingly handsome man who looks like he stepped straight out of the Middle Ages proposes business, she struggles to keep her professional and personal lives separate. Then Emma's ex-fiancé resurfaces, threatening Emma's livelihood, her home, and ultimately her safety. Aidan jumps to protect her, and not just because she's good for business. He feels a primal need to defend the alluring young woman. But the question is not where she'll be safe - but when. Members Reviews: Great Story! Love the story and characters. Good story line. Funny in places, yet can be an emotional sequence in there. An emotional follow up This was the sequel to the winter laird an lets just say it was excellent. If you are looking for a book with steamy "scenes" this isn't the book for you. This book is about a great romance that stands the test of time travel. This listen is worth a credit. I wanted to cry at the end and I usually want to listen to "steamy" books. So this was a go for me Can characters be a bit more human??? What did you like best about An Enchanted Spring? What did you like least? Too rich, too perfect in physical attributes. Men are so suave and charming railroading the obviously damaged female into taking their "protection" while she is having no say in her own destiny.That works better for historical romance, but can't see modern women not having more of a voice. And, of course, there was the dual personality thing going on with Aiden. What woman would be able to trust once the charm took on a darker tone, especially Emma, as she just had a previous relationship turn very dark on her. Would you be willing to try another book from Nancy Scanlon? Why or why not? Yes, would like to hear more about Reilly, he seems to have a bit more common sense at least I hope he would still be portrayed that way. Which character as performed by Jane Jacobs was your favorite? Reilly Any additional comments? The ending is so abrupt and the Emma is so happy to see the guy that made her life a living hell during the time travel sequence, I would have liked to see her happy to see him, but less pliable, as in, "What were you thinking?" If he had enough forethought and feeling to know how he felt before the time travel, it seems he could have done a better job handling his emotions without walking all over Erin. From a modern standpoint, she should have ripped him a new one, before having the HEA. NO ROMANCE TO MUCH ANGST!! What would have made An Enchanted Spring better? More Mature writing and a Bit of Romance.

But now his chieftain has asked him to make the ultimate sacrifice: Wed Glynis MacNeil, a lass famed throughout the Highlands for her exquisite beauty - and defiant ways. Familiar with heartbreak, Glynis refuses to fall for another handsome scoundrel. Yet when Alex's past sins force an unlikely union, Glynis gives in to temptation and becomes his wife. Will their newfound passion be strong enough to fight the enemy that threatens their home, their clan, and their very lives? Members Reviews: Philandering Charmer! I really enjoyed this second book in the series. Even though Alex is a philanderer he is still so charming, sensitive (in a warrior way) and very funny. Glynis was just as delightful. She is no shrinking violet....more of a dandy lion. She was not afraid to speak her mind, as well as, learn from mistakes and move on. I'm glad they are staying with the same narrator for all the books. He did a nice job. I do agree with the reviewer 'Candateshia Pafford' about reading book 1 first. There is a lot of prophecy that comes true in book 2 that is quite funny and poignant. If you don't know the prophecies the story will feel flat, leave you a little confused, and you'd miss out on a good laugh. Looking forward to Duncan's adventure next! Great Sequal.. one of the best Highlander series! Wow...Alex story was awesome. I so had to go back to book 1 and listen to the prophecy of for four highlander's women... and it was so funny when Alex meet Glynis and she had pox! I laughed out loud when they started ooze off her face! OMG! This was so good. You must get book one to really enjoy book 2... You really need to pay attention to the prophecy in the very beginning of book 1. Each Highlander will get their women that way. This was just so good. Alex was the player of the group too, I didn't think his book would be this soon...but I am so glad it was. I can't wait for Duncan... I hope he get his gal! I have already pre-ordered!!! Best highlander series... This is actual better than Maya Bank's McCabe Brother Series and that is saying a lot...because I loved that series... that series was all 3 to 4 stars!!! Smex was really cute and fairly decent.. Not a whole lot of it in here, but enough to go along with this story. Narration was great. A great buy/credit. Great Narration The story is basically about the life of Alex, the brother of the Chieftain of their clan. Alex is a gorgeous warrior who loves to fight, wench and tell stories. Glenna is the fiery, outspoken daughter of the Chieftain of a neighboring clan. Alex has sworn not to marry, and Glenna has swore never to remarry-- having knifed her husband and been set-aside. The story moved a little too slow to hold my interest, so it took me awhile to finish it, but the last several chapters were very good with lots of action. All-in-all it was a decent read. The hero and heroine were likeable. The author did not use a lot of filler words, did a good job with her descriptions, and the sexual scenes were not too long nor too frequent, although it was often on Alex's mind. The narration was superb.

Seduction Audiobook by Amanda Quick

Title: Seduction Author: Amanda Quick Narrator: Anne Flosnik Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 374 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Drawn to the glitters of desire that burned in his emerald eyes, Sophy had her own reasons for agreeing to a marriage of convenience. One was vengeance, and in it's pursuit she would entangle Julian in a dangerous masquerade. The other reason was dearer to her heart but just as wild a quest: Sophy Dorring intended to teach the devil to love again. Members Reviews: why do I like this book? Let me count the ways: I liked the characters (they are fun, funny, and overall likeable. Wish we could have known the bad guy a little more). I liked the setting (awww, who doesn't like a little historical romance?) I liked the narrator (Great voices, pretty consistant). I like the voice (easy to understand, not passive or irritating) I like the pacing (moves along with fun detail) I like the story ("and they lived . . ." well, you'll have to read the book to find out). All in all, it was a fun read. Enjoy. Great Entertainment! "Seduction" is one of Quick's earlier books, a straight forward regency (before the PNR elements entered into so much of her work) and one of her first historicals. The story begins with the cynical widower Julian, the Earl of Ravenwood, proposing marriage to country-bred Sophy Dorring in the hopes that she will prove easy to manage while providing him with heirs. Julian, believing Sophy to be firmly on the shelf, having failed during her one and only season, should be grateful for his offer, but she turned him down. Although Sophy has loved Julian for years, she will not agree to marry him unless he agrees to specific conditions. Not to be one who takes "no" for an answer, he finally agrees, and they marry immediately. Julian thought that because of her age and having resided in the country he was getting someone who would provide him an heir and be no trouble. Little did he know! Sophy has a hidden agenda for wanting to marry Julian. The story-line may not sound very different than a hundred other historical romances, but this is not your typical, run-of-the-mill historical romance, it is quite UNIQUE. There are aspects of the story that I don't remember encountering in other books, and I have read and heard hundreds of historical romances. You'll find scandal, humor, intrigue, revenge, unusual duels, romance -- with strong secondary characters. As great as Anne Flosnik is, I think she has out-done herself in "Seduction", she was flawless! ....Well worth a credit, but I was happy to get it on sale--3 books for 2 credits! Good light read Overall a good story that was enteratining, but Sophy was a bit petulant. Gotta love the tough guy husband, though. Wow Love this book the narrators English accent made this book real, it had my attention for start to finish I enjoyed every word Reasons why I liked this story It started with the usual formula of the nobleman marrying ,for whatever reason. He wanted the heir and no trouble and she wanted love and equality. Underlying, the trappings of the story was an honest discussion of a women's status in these type of marriages. Each character debated (or though very heated arguments) the male and female perspective. Julian had the preceived notions on marriage for the times. Sophy was more progressive. The only difference between a mistress and a wife, was the later had a retirement plan. Julian's aunt and her female companion had a deep, loving and understanding friendship.

The Forgotten Sister Audiobook by Jennifer Paynter

Title: The Forgotten Sister Subtitle: Mary Bennet's Pride and Prejudice Author: Jennifer Paynter Narrator: Justine Eyre Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 146 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: "Nobody turned my head with compliments. Nobody asked me to dance." An elegant accompaniment to Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, Jennifer Paynters The Forgotten Sister plucks the neglected Mary from obscurity and reveals her hopes and fears. Mary Bennet spends much of her time apart from her family, closeted in her room reading or playing her music, studying hard for accomplishments. As her four sisters become absorbed in their own romantic dramas, Mary stands apart, believing herself "not pretty enough" to dance with. She watches while Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley - and Mr. Wickham - waltz into her sisters lives, judging all three gentlemen quite dispassionately (and as it turns out, accurately). But Mary may not be quite so clear-sighted when she finally falls in love herself. She will first have to overcome her own brand of "pride and prejudice." Members Reviews: Missed The Point The Forgotten Sister is a well-written view of Pride and Prejudice through the eyes of Mary - the middle of the Bennett sisters. Through most of the Jane Austen title, Mary was pretty much a tool of embarrassment for Elizabeth, her sister. Here, the author attempts to flesh her out and give a new perspective on the bumbling scenes and endless sermonizing of the 'bluestocking' Bennett. Oddly, though, in a book clearly intended for Austenites, we're given a very dim view of both Elizabeth and Jane. And Mary, despite getting her own book, never really evolves into a sympathetic or even interesting character. I found I liked her no less or more after reading The Forgotten Sister. Sadly, I liked Elizabeth and Jane less as well. Story: Mary is the 'lost' middle child of the Bennett family. Jane and Elizabeth have each other and their father's affection; Lydia and Kitty have each other and the attention of their mother. Mary, however, is shuttled off to different homes and influenced by the people she meets. Born without her older sisters' wit and beauty or younger sisters' vivacity, she is more an object of pity than familial love. Her father's patronizing communication and mother's abandonment especially grate; but Mary has music and she has scriptures. They are her weapon and her refuge as she watches life unfold around her family. Especially: Lizzy and Jane and their affairs with different men, scandals, and plotting before Bingley and Darcy enter the picture and Lydia and Kitty with their meanness. Armed with prayers and the Bible, will she remember the Lord's words as it relates to fellow man when she falls in love with a poor musician? The story is rather long - starting with Mary's unfortunate birth. Honestly, although childhood situations set up later loves and heartaches, it did feel like the story took forever to actually get started. I wish it had been written in such a way as to start at the same time as P&P - there's just so much in there that felt like dead weight. The beginning only serves the purpose of setting up the third act; it doesn't really intrigue or entice the reader into Mary's story. As well, I didn't like Mary. She was fairly wishy washy throughout - influenced by whomever was next to her at the time. Her little rebellions against her family were more impulses than an intelligent attempt to make a stand.

Title: Night Fire Subtitle: Night Trilogy, Book 1 Author: Catherine Coulter Narrator: Anne Flosnik Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 130 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Dear Listener, I began writing the Night Trilogy in 1987. Im very proud of all three novels. Perhaps Night Fire is my favorite, simply because its so different from the other two. In Night Fire, Arielle Leslie is a 16-year-old forced to wed Paisley Cochrane, a sadistic old man who abuses her. When he dies, she believes herself free. But shes not. Burke Drummond, Earl of Ravensworth, a young man shed worshipped three years before, is home from the wars, and he wants her. Burke and Arielle are two people who have touched me deeply. Together they faced problems and obstacles never spoken of in the Regency time. Do give Night Fire a try. See if you dont agree with me that Arielle and Burke are two very special people. Catherine Coulter Critic Reviews: A sizzler. (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Fabulous!!!!!!! Where does Night Fire rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the top 20, because I have listened to a lot of them that I just absolutely cannot say a horrible word about. What was one of the most memorable moments of Night Fire? When Arielle walked in on her step sister and husband making love and after leaving the room Burke just laughing at her! I also loved, loved when Burke beat the crap out of Evan and Arielle got to punch him. She should have kicked his bollocks in! What about Anne Flosniks performance did you like? Every last bit!!!!!!!!!!! Anne is one of my favorite narrators so whatever book she is narrating to, I am a listener. Way to go Anne, you brought the characters to life for me and just kept me so engrossed. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The entire story did. I found myself crying and then at time chuckling or laughing out loud. I felt for Arielle with everything she went through and what she overcame. I loved Burke for everything and all that he was for Arielle. I can't wait to read more on Knight, found myself liking him a lot also. Any additional comments? Read this book for the laughing moments but also for the crying. I love Anne Flosnik What did you love best about Night Fire? I love romance novels written in the late 80's and early 90's they seem to keep it more real than a lot of others. Anne Flosnik is one of the best when it comes to historical romance, this one was also funny. I'm going to purchase the rest of the series. Vintage Catherine Coulter This is the first in a series, but all the books are stand-a-lone. This is not the best in the series but a good listen. The narrator is excellent. But for my recommendation read the other two first, you won't be sorry. No real plot Mostly this book dealt with the overly rampant hormones of the male characters. The villain was bent on rape, the hero trying to over come the maiden's reluctance. I love Catherine Coulter books but this book wasn't worth my time. I only hope the next in the series is up to Coulter's normal standards. Night Fire All the twists and turns in the story make it enjoyable from start to finish.

Lord Ruin Audiobook by Carolyn Jewel

Title: Lord Ruin Author: Carolyn Jewel Narrator: Kate McDermott Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-14 Publisher: Carolyn L. Jewel Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 47 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Ruan Bettancourt, the Duke of Cynssyr, intends to marry London's most beautiful debutante. A case of mistaken identity forces him to marry her sister, spinster Anne Sinclair. Before long, he's head-over-heels in love with his wife while Anne is determined to make the best of her unwanted marriage. Can Lord Ruin convince Anne he's fallen in love? Members Reviews: Unfortunate for Lord Ruin I read this book a few years ago and really enjoyed it and was really happy when I saw it available in Audible. What ruined Lord Ruin was the narration. Ms. McDermott's lack of experience is evident and she should try changing her voice for the different characters that are part of the story line. When the narrator is unable to change voices, the reading comes across as flat and monotone. Some really good examples are Anne Flosnik and Susan Duerden whose narration of historical romance books are a listening joy. I hope that Ms. McDermott will continue narrating books as she has an authentic accent. I just hope she will practice the male voices and learn to make each character stand out. Remember the narrator's name Remember the narrator's name well so you'll know who to stay away from. The story would have been a lot more enjoyable if it were narrated by someone else. What an emotionless voice! Excellent Read w/ Strong Characters I don't believe this is your average historical romance with the simpering innocent beautiful female and the Love at first sight story. This is a hard read with males whom disregard not just love but remain cynical about women and marriage. It was really really hard to like any of the male characters in this book. But it somehow worked for the storyline. Perhaps it was because this author wrote about strong females who's strength of character shines brighter than any beautiful face. I truly enjoyed the book can't wait to read the next series. Excellent story! Ok let me start by saying that the beginning I was slightly bored by the narrators voice although the story itself kept me listening and I'm glad I held out because I soon forgot all about her! Loved the characters, loved the story line, it's a must read! Average, but it does the trick I am not going to give away any of the plot I am just going to tell you it is an easy listen if you want to vegg out. The story was very predictable and it wasn't complicated and it held very little depth. Still, it is a great read when you don't want to think about anything too hard and just enjoy a story. It had a good romance flow and the smut scenes were the perfect amount of sexy and were put in at all the right moments so it didn't become too much. I had a problem with the author, though. She does not changer her voice enough to distinguish which character she is reading for so I was confused as to who was talking half the time. Especially when more than one man is involved in the dialog. Still there was nothing wrong with the book, but if your looking to have your mind blown by a story this one isn't it.

Hero in the Highlands Audiobook by Suzanne Enoch

Title: Hero in the Highlands Subtitle: The No Ordinary Hero Series, Book 1 Author: Suzanne Enoch Narrator: Flora MacDonald Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Romance, Historical Publisher's Summary: Scotland, 1812. He's ferocious and rugged to the bone, an English soldier more at home on the battlefield than in any society drawing room. And when Major Gabriel Forrester learns that he has inherited the massive Scottish Highlands title and estate of a distant relation, the last thing he wants to do is give up the intensity of the battlefield for the too-soft indulgences of noble life. But Gabriel Forrester does not shirk his responsibilities, and when he meets striking, raven-eyed lass Fiona Blackstock, his new circumstances abruptly become more intriguing. Like any good Highlander, Fiona despises the English - and the new Duke of Lattimer is no exception. Firstly, he is far too attractive for Fiona's peace of mind. Secondly, his right to "her" castle is a travesty, since it's been clan Maxwell property for ages. As the two enter a heated battle of wills, an unexpected passion blazes into a love as fierce as the Highlands themselves. Is Fiona strong enough to resist her enemy's advances - or is Gabriel actually her hero in disguise? Members Reviews: This is a very cute book & the narrator was great! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I rarely write a review but I have been looking for a light hearted, quirky audiobook.. This was the one What was one of the most memorable moments of Hero in the Highlands? They hit the ground running in their first meeting with the cow stuck in the mud.. Too funny! What does Flora MacDonald bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Flora is smart but straight forward and brings a fresh outlook to our jaded H Interesting storyline Narrator did stellar job of using the Scottish dialect. Will look for authors books again. Absolutely wonderful read didn't want to stop listening I truly enjoyed this book, the characters were great together and the narrator did a great job keeping you interested and with the dialects Love all of Suzanne Enoch's books... But those narrated by Flora MacDonald are fantastic!! I loved Gabriel's voice and it was very distinct. Excellent job! Enjoyed it! Read/Listened for fun (Kindle/Audible) Overall Rating: 3.50 Story Rating: 3.50 Character Rating: 3.50 Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating) Quick Thoughts: This book was really hard for me to rate! There were parts I really loved and other parts I had a hard time wrapping my head around. Actually there was one moment and it was the first time it got smexy. I didn't care a wit about how sexually free she was but I did notice that he just kind of assumed it. That bothered me a gosh darn bit. I loved them otherwise and they both showed tremendous growth during the story. Their romance was perfect (for them) and in the end I was left wanting more (I already have book 2 which I am told I will adore like mad). So yes I recommend this! Audio Thoughts: Narrated by: Flora MacDonald / Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins This is (as far as I know unless this is an alias) the first Flora MacDonald narration I have listened too. I was impressed. In fact, she might have been a wee bit too good on the narration because there were a couple of times I had to rewind to catch her Scottish Brogue.
