That it is EXACRLY a Christmas romcom.

Revisado: 01-20-25

Ridiculous title - predictable, boring, and easy to see "plot twists". Glad it was free.

Disgusting story

Revisado: 09-12-23

Drag boy pros. Absolutely disgusting. Even with one ov my favorite people, Edward Hermann (Lorelai Gilmore's dad, for fans), reading it, story is vomit worthy deviance and detail.

Disappointing story- good narration

Revisado: 09-12-23

Narrator made this book more tolerable. The story is mediocre - hoped it would be more like Finch's Victorian writings, but this one was too Catcher in the Rye-esque for me. Depressing and angst filled. No thanks.

Narrator hasn't improved....story is mid

Revisado: 09-12-23

Narrator needs a lesson in English accents, and how to take a deep breath. Her narration ruins the story. It's so detrimental, in fact, that it makes the story's value less.

Terrible narration, mid story

Revisado: 09-11-23

Once again, the author uses phrases that were not even invented when these books supposedly cover. For instance, the prince regent was poisoned in book one and he only lived until 1830, so how in this book is she using sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me when that phrase was not even invented until 1862?
As many reviewers have pointed out, the narrator is awful, and her affected accents are abysmal. Even Olav's accent goes from Russian to Scots to Irishm UGH! And, all the whispering, shouting, and weird intonations take away so much from a story already lacking.

Glad this was free and I didn't waste a credit on it.

Terrible Narrator - Breathy and awful accent

Revisado: 08-28-23

Narrator speaks like she's in a perpetual asthma attack or she's never taken a deep breath in her life. Obviously, American trying to play British voices. Ugh. And, Henning for the surgeon. Henning the same surgeon name as the Lord Wrexford novels by the same author? Not much originality. Also, Henning is Scottish in those books, and aupposedly in this one, but half the time sounds Irish in these books. If yiu can't do an accent, don't.

B-O-R-I-N-G and inaccurate

Revisado: 07-04-23

The author uses phrases that have not been invented yet. For instance, the books are supposedly from the regency. In england which is eighteen eleven to eighteen twenty, but uses in this book get down to brass tacks, which wasn't invented until eighteen sixty three and Uses something like to perform the same experiment over and over Expecting a different result is the definition of insanity in the previous book. That phrase is attributed to albert einstein.

The books are repetitive. Locks always open with a sneak. There are always descriptions of how the weasels came to be called the weasels, Charlotte's wx-husband is always discussed - usually for nothing Germaine to the story, they drink alcohol and rarely eat, etc. These books started off fun but are now boring repetitions of each other.

The narrator chosen does an awful rendition of women's voices and a terrible american accent that ends up sounding half welsh. He also speaks so Slowly and boring Lee. That I have to listen to this on 1.2 speed. In order to pay attention to what he is saying. Time to get a new narrator and also time to do some research regarding when phrases came into being comma and maybe leave the repetitive descriptions out.

This is the last Rexford Sloane book I will purchase from audible until changes are made.

Bad narration, slow, slavery justifying story

Revisado: 04-10-23

I normally love CS Harris, but this book is unlistenable.
- Terrible narration - Fake southern accent is so annoying. Got to Chapter 30, determined to give the book a real try, but ugh. Had to give up. I just can't listen to that horrid fake accent, anymore.
- Justification of slavery - Book documents atrocities committed by Northern troops, and romanticizes southern troops, tells the lie that Lee had no slaves (never mind him going to court in attempts to keep his slaves - don't let facts interfere with your agenda), and treats slavery as a normal thing, and claims that abolitionists in the north were as bad as slave-owning plantation owners in the South.
Don't waste your Audible credit on this one. Sadly lacking.
Update: I finished the book. Gets worse. Time I can't get back, All the way to the end, amd the themes of the book don't change - the slave owners were wonderful and righteous, the northerners are horrible, and no one on the book has any issue with slaves, except the main character hating the fact the slaves were branded. Other than that, tho, no issues with it from any of the characters.
