Carefully Crafted Puzzle

Revisado: 03-08-20

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. Unlike another reviewer, I thought the narrator did a very fine job. I can't imagine what she expected, but I believe Shepherd was a perfect choice to read this book.

Absolutely Fabulous

This is the first book I have listened to written by Laura Kinsale and narrated by Nicholas Boulton. Wow! What a story! Wonderful, unforgettable characters. Superb narration. I loved every word.

Romantic, Entertaining, and Engaging

Oh my how I loved this story! Here we have an honorable hero who is indeed the "perfect knight." Riley is a great storyteller and Wyndham is a superb narrator.

Simply Wonderful

Revisado: 05-21-19

Stella Riley's clever, romantic, and honorable characters come vividly alive through the sublime narration of Alex Wyndham. His voice is like liquid velvet. The characters' personalities are defined by intelligent dialogue and the various voices Wyndham employs. Listening is a pleasure.
This book as well as the first in the Rockliffe series are among the best I have listened to in my many years of enjoying audio books. I can't wait to begin book three! Great storytelling!!

Absolutely Delightful!

Any additional comments?

Finally, a Regency romance akin to those of the great Georgette Heyer. Sadly, the author of this book has passed away, but Audible.com listeners are now fortunate in that her work has been recently added to Audible's collection.

This is a charming story, well-timed and well-written with wit and humor. The characters are most engaging, the dialogue is excellent and the narration wonderful.

Some of the so called Regency romances I've listened to lately have been awfully dull with way too many sex scenes, not enough dialogue, modern characters completely out of step with Regency times, and badly in need of a good editor.

Highly recommended.

Duerden's Voice for Villiers is Near Perfection!

Revisado: 01-30-15

Any additional comments?

This is a fantastic final book for the series. Villiers, who has appeared in each book, is absolutely marvelous and the narrator's voice for him is perfection. Elinor is a wonderful character and this listener cheered for her throughout the book. I very much liked the children in the story. They added a lot to the story's depth and substance as did the change in Villiers as he accepts the responsibility of fatherhood. The little pug puppy is a magical character and plays an important role. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could!! Bravo!

Story Falls Short but Narration is Excellent

Revisado: 01-28-15

Any additional comments?

I think the author is a very good writer and very smart woman, however this time I was disappointed in the story especially in the characters Jemma and Elijah. Leopold was a much more exciting and interesting character. The final book in the series, "A Duke of Her Own" is Leopold's story and was a smashing end to the series. I gave that book 5 stars all around.

The narrator delivered another fantastic performance! You can count on Susan Duerden. She is a favorite for sure.

Simply wonderful!

Any additional comments?

Excellent writing, good character growth, inclusion of a great cast of children (and puppy), and sublime narration all contribute to the overwhelming success of this audiobook. We meet the Duke in previous books in the series. We may not have liked him then, but here we must love him. I enjoyed this book tremendously! The epilogue was truly a satisfying finish touch. Thank you to the author, the narrator, and Audible.

Good story idea, but result disappoints

Revisado: 01-23-15

Any additional comments?

Even the excellent narration could not save this book. The author started out with a good idea, but did not, it seems, have the skill to make it really interesting. The earl's mother had more personality and dimension than the main characters. They, unfortunately, were just dull.
