G. Lee

Unbearable. Don’t read if you read the previous 2 books and loved them.

Revisado: 12-20-23

I abandoned halfway in. I love this author and have read almost all her books. They are all wonderful. I loved them.

This one is not. You cannot have the protagonist the villain from the previous 2 books and then try to ‘phony-rehabilitate’ him for a love story. His are deep character failings - they are not just ‘circumstances’ as the author tries to convince us. No self-respecting human (much less if he tried to kill you already) would fall for someone like him. This is a huge fail. Author should have tried to pair Grace with a worthy human.

One of my favorite Victorian romances so far. Really great storyline. Perfect performance by Carolyn Morris.

One of the most wonderful books I’ve read with the best narrator in audiobooks

Revisado: 04-30-21

Amazing story. Full of romance and suspense and the sexiest sexual tension I’ve read in ages. Cherry on top: the female character is actually based on a real person - the first female physician in the UK. Highly highly recommend.

The narrator, Mary’s Jane Wells is the best narrator in audiobooks. Her range is amazing and she narrates the male protagonist with a sexy voice that will curl your toes.

Great book - Best narration

Revisado: 04-30-21

The book is wonderful and the narration puts it over the top.
Mary Jane Wells is by far the best narrator in audiobooks. Her voice is wonderful and her range is unbelievable. These days, I buy books because she narrates them, I like her that much. I just returned The Devil in Winter, narrated by someone else whose voice ruined the book for me and pre-purchased the same book again because they are having May Jane Wells narrate it.

The worst narration of any book I’ve listened to

Revisado: 12-04-20

I feel bad for the author of this book. The story itself is lovely - psychologically astute, with much feeling and love for the characters. The fact that I stuck with it until the end is because of the author’s writing ability and engaging story.

If you want to enjoy this book, my advice is not not purchase the audio version. As was said by almost every other reviewer here, the narration of the Eileen character was unbearably annoying. It’s hard to describe how irritating it was. It’s a mixture of wet, gasping, swallowing, spitting, smacking. It was awful. It made my skin crawl. I was too cheap to abandon the audio version and buy the ebook (and told myself she did not read every chapter after all) but I regret it. I never got used to it and dreaded every chapter she read.

I did like the narrator who read Lena. Very lovely energy and I felt she brought the character to perfect life.

I would have given the book 4 stars otherwise but the narration ruined it for me.
