Welcome to Spindle Cove, where the ladies with delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are..nowhere to be found. Or are they? Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: The painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there. Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here.

Faux girl power and rapey vibe
Revisado: 10-30-24
The book kept trying to make points about what we would call feminism now but it was undercut by how often Lord Ryecliff was initially always grabbing Suzanne without her consent or a by your leave. You don’t just kiss a complete stranger or just start manhandling later an acquaintance because you “can’t help it because they are so attractive.” Made it hard to like Lord R after how he behaved before he even knew her. You can’t on the one hand be all for rights for women and then deny your main female character the autonomy to give consent.

Not a good narrator and unpleasant story.
Revisado: 05-27-24
Narration is not very good. Grating narrator with a flat affect. The book is also more sexist than usual for this genre. Along with the ridiculous assertion that only blondehair and blue eyes are attractive and brown hair and brown eyes are plain that is continually stated again and again is beyond obnoxious. All of the characters are varying degrees of unpleasant as well. What a waste.

Franklin Delano and Eleanor Roosevelt’s marriage is one of the most celebrated and scrutinized partnerships in presidential history. It raised eyebrows in their lifetimes and has only become more controversial since their deaths. From FDR’s lifelong romance with Lucy Mercer to Eleanor’s purported lesbianism - and many scandals in between - the American public has never tired of speculating about the ties that bound these two headstrong individuals.

Bizarre racially charged terms
Revisado: 05-15-21
Fairly bland rendering. What made this book most annoying was that for some odd reason this author chooses to use the outdated and now racially charged term “Negro” each time she refers to Black people. She is not quoting people of the day or books, articles, etc she just uses the term as though it is a standard accepted term. She is far too young to have the excuse that it was the term she grew up with either. Do not recommend.

Premiering the day after the JFK assassination, Doctor Who humbly launched one of the entertainment world's first super-brands. We begin with a look at TV programming of the day and the original pitch documents before delving into the Daleks, which almost didn't make the cut but inspired many monsters to follow. After three years, First Doctor William Hartnell left, prompting the BBC to recast their hit rather than end it, giving us the first "regeneration" and making TV history.

Horrible narrator
Revisado: 05-01-20
The content is fine but it was a huge mistake having the author narrate. He almost sounds like a computer. Probably better to read it instead.

This is the first audiobook of its kind devoted to Black origins of Rome. Listen to the story of civilization being established in Italy and about the mysterious Etruscans. Listen to the story of the African descent of some Roman emperors. A must-listen for those interested in Black origins.

It’s like a computer is reading. Did you make it sound awful on purpose to keep people from listening and learning about this topic? Worst narration EVER!
