Thought provoking and timely

Michael York is an incredible narrator. Perfect for this classic novel. Certainly well worth the listen.

Hard to like the main character

Revisado: 10-19-20

Very hard to like the lead female character. Wanted to quit a few times in the book because I was tired of her nonsensical decisions. She also had a habit of pointing out with her male counterpart needed to do to fix himself. Frustrating. Gratuitous sex. Good romance writing doesn’t need to have that in it. Romance and sex is great, but subtle and leaving something to the imagination is better. Actually I like this writer, she’s quite good. Character development was good I really like the peripheral characters and got a good sense of the environment. The story was ok but she was just not likable.

Very good story, wonderful narration

Revisado: 08-29-20

The book felt very period, developed characters, not a predictable story. Drew me in early and kept me going until the end. Next book will be hers.Narrator has excellent voice for characters and diction, did the story justice. The men were manly and the women were feminine. Great job. I will watch for her with other audiobooks for sure.

Really good writer, unlikable main character, too much sex

Revisado: 08-05-20

Really good story, very good writing. I wouldn’t even say that it was predictable, but it was obvious who the culprit was from the beginning. The male characters were developed well and really interesting. The h was annoying and just unlikable. She went from being intelligent and thoughtful to impulsive and idiotic... and a snob. It really made a difference in liking the story or not. The sex scenes were far too gratuitous ... way too long. Look at the classic romance novels they don’t even have sex scenes and they were very sexy and romantic. It’s OK to leave a little to the imagination. This is a really good writer, but maybe I just don’t like her style. I don’t know if I’ll read another one of her books. It was too painful. The performance by the narrator Simon Prebble was fantastic.

I tried but couldn’t finish

Revisado: 06-21-20

This is awesome, it why I chose this book. There’s much I liked about the story, predictable as it is. Most of the characters I liked, very good development. The war scenes are drawn out a bit too much. But the heroine is just an idiot, She’s just too hard to like. I don’t see how anyone likes her.And I’m not buying that her mother is no more protective over her than she is. But I just couldn’t finish the story ... I tried, it just got to be too silly.

Wonderful end to the series

Revisado: 06-16-20

Matthews is very good at character development. These aren’t sappy romances, but drag you in there with them. I really appreciate being immersed into the era. Alex Windham is an amazing narrator. I would look for books narrated by him on that alone.

Wonderful story, well performed

Revisado: 06-11-20

Where has Mimi been?! My new favorite author :-) She’s very consistent so far, I can count on a good read now that I’ve read a few. I can’t wait to read everything she’s written.
Alex Windham has a wonderful voice. Good storyteller, easy characters. Looking forward to listening to more of his storytelling.

Fun to listen to, awesome narrator

Revisado: 04-13-20

I very much liked the story, and the narrator certainly did it justice. It was a fun listen. My first book by this author even though it was book 5. I think I will have to go back and start at #1 now... and look for more by this narrator!
