A Very Appealing Love Story

Revisado: 12-08-19

This book was terrific! I loved the characters - both serious and comic. I loved that they worked out their problems. The lovers were flawed and honest and very appealing.

A Delightful Romp

Revisado: 10-26-19

This was an oddest of comedies - requiring a willing suspension of disbelief. I did and was rewarded.

Another Heartwarming Novel by Mary Balogh

Revisado: 07-20-19

This heartwarming novel by Mary Balogh really had a different slant from others. The hero, Gil, is scarred accross his mouth and chin. He's intimidating at first sight and unfriendly - expecting people to goggle at him and be repulsed. Abigail is. Gil has had little experience with gently bred women and none of it very good.
There follows the one step forward, two steps back forging of a relationship. They do come to care for one another, but very slowly and without much demonstrative affection.
They really come together in a court battle to get custody of Gil's daughter from his first marriage. All the Westcott family comes to support them in court. Earlier some Westcotts enlisted the aid of Gil's natural father and he addresses the judge. The judge rules that the little girl be returned to her father by her grandparents.
It's not often that I read romances with both main characters having difficulty expressing themselves even to each other. By the end, however, I was hopeful that even they would have their happily ever after.

Another Fascinating Mystery

Revisado: 01-23-19

Sherry Thomas has penned her third Lady Sherlock mystery and it's absorbing. I wanted to keep up with the mystery and found myself going back and listening to parts again for clues. I'm not an auditory learner and wished I had bought the printed book, too. I usually do - or the kindle version - to keep on track. What a great book!

Mystery at Its Best

Revisado: 01-11-19

Sherry Thomas's "A Conspiracy in Begravia" is a wonderful and absorbing mystery. I loved Charlotte! She's a brilliant sleute and caring sister, friend, etc..
Kate Reading does a masterful job with the narration.
I look forward to listening to it again soon.

An Interesting Book

Revisado: 01-08-19

Like all of Anne Perry's books, this one was interesting and riveting. The setting was very different - the Middle East. I liked the characters a lot in this new setting.

A Remake of Pride and Prejudice - What Could Go Wrong?

Revisado: 11-18-18

Very enjoyable. There are lots of references to Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice, plus a murder to solve. The narrator was a new voice for me and she did a great job!
