MOVING AND INSPIRING

Revisado: 08-07-24

There are hardly words to capture the depth of this story. What a gift her story of God’s faithfulness, love and light are to us.

Exciting! Addicting!

Revisado: 09-15-22

After finishing the whole arrangements series (definitely read those first), this was a thrilling and fun story that stands all on its own, even if we do see some familiar faces.

I enjoyed how the character the Gent was able to allow for a bit more of an exciting tale. My only disappointment (spoilers ahead) is that I wish the climax had been a little bigger. I had hoped she would actually play a pivotal role in his mission, not just a damsel in distress. But overall, it was a very exciting and addicting story to listen to.

A fun and enjoyable listen

Revisado: 08-09-22

I was curious what a story in this series might look like without romance being the central theme, and it delivered a fun, enjoyable story full of characters we leave come to love. It was all the things you love best about Colin and Kit.

I will say sometimes it dragged a bit, but overall it was a fun listen.

A Book Worth Listening

Revisado: 07-30-22

I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable this final (well, kind of final) book ended up being. We have seen hints and foreshadowing regarding this relationship more than any other relationship, so I was worried it would not deliver in its full telling. However, Connolly delivered a satisfying, dynamic and winning novel.

While some parts felt reminiscent of some of the previous stories (namely Book 2), it still managed to differentiate itself. I very much enjoyed the development of both characters and their relationship. It felt, in some ways, a more realistic telling of how difficult it is for people to truly change.

Overall satisfying, but not my favorite

Revisado: 07-08-22

I love Colin so much and have been looking forward to his particular story with anticipation. Overall, this book delivered in the overall arch of the story. But what was a little disappointing was that the predominant tone of Colin felt like a totally different person sometimes. It makes sense for the story, but I really missed the funny, witty jokester that we had come to know. I would have liked more of that side of him.

Most exciting and steamy yet!

Revisado: 06-04-22

As book 4 of the series, I was pleasantly surprised that this probably the most exciting and steamy of the series yet!

I’ll forgive Connolly for skipping some of the regency etiquette of the time in order to deliver a more flirtatious and exhilarating romance. The characters were sweet and compelling, and the storyline had the perfect climax.

As usual, the narrator delivered perfectly!

Another enjoyable work by Connolly! Narrated perfectly. The simplicity of the story lends great depth that to the characters and builds beautifully to its end.

Amazed! A truly enjoyable regency romance!

Revisado: 04-13-22

I consider myself quite the connoisseur of Regency romances, and consider Georgette Heyer to be the queen of all regency romance authors.

But I was amazed and astounded just how enjoyable and well written this read was! Rebecca Conolly might be my new favorite regency author.

Her story had great pace, beautiful tension and romance, complex character development, and authenticity. The narrator was perfection.

Her writing may not be filled to the brim with as many historical references or details as Heyer, but they are true to the period. I couldn’t stop listening!

I highly recommend!

Heyer trades folly for realism to fresh delight

Revisado: 12-07-17

I’ve listened to over ten Heyer audiobooks, and this is perhaps the most refreshing. While her stories usually have a great deal of levity and silliness, in A Civil Contract she explores a more realistic story of companionship. It perhaps didn’t have the idealic ending she usually provides, but it was equally satisfying. I highly recommend it!

The Best of Georgette Heyer

Revisado: 08-26-16

The Grand Sophy is easily the crown jewel in Heyer’s impressive collection of regency romance novels. Her characters are sculpted to perfection, the arch of the story is satisfying, and her humor makes each chapter a delight.

The performance by Woodward is incomparable. She is an excellent reader, making her characters easily identifiable and enjoyable.
