My escape

Sill loving this series

Revisado: 06-05-22

If you need something lighthearted and yet thought provoking then this series is it. I continue to chuckle as the antics of Lady Swift develop along with her relationships with a host of colorful characters.

I am binge listening to this series.

Revisado: 05-16-22

This series is a joy. It is fun, interesting and well narrated. I am a long time audible user but this is the first time I have listened to more than two books in a series in succession.

Not the author’s best

Revisado: 01-16-22

I am a fan of Julia Quinn so I am sorry to say that I found this book very slow, repetitive and dull. The heroine is annoying and the hero has little to recommend him. The attempts at humor felt forced. There is a scene that depicts attempted rape which added nothing to the story.
The narrator was, as ever, fantastic but she could not save this book.

Lighthearted, predictable, slow.

Revisado: 01-12-22

The story may have been better if I wasn’t so annoyed by the amount of times there are “he said, she said”. The narrator is talented and therefore it is clear who is speaking but after almost every piece of dialogue there is a “said”. It was highly distracting. The story is not as good as the first in the series . It is slow and a little repetitive. It has moments of humor and the heroine is fairly well developed. I’m impressed that anyone can produce a story like this .regardless of my personal opinion.

Refreshing historical fiction

Revisado: 12-11-21

I devour historical romantic fiction but they can be quite formulaic. This story is wonderful. Funny, sweet, unpredictable and beautifully written and narrated. Such a treat.

An almost perfect combination

Revisado: 09-09-21

I would listen to Mary Jane Wells read anything as she is amazing . MJW has got me through many an average listen. So to listen to her narrate a book that is beautifully written and so engaging is sheer joy. This story made me laugh out loud. It is captivating and developed well. It is not only a romance, it’s about friendship, strength, being true to yourself. For anyone who likes this genre it is a pleasure. There are some erotic scenes but they are not overdone and don’t dominate. The only tiny criticism I could make was the hero’s thoughts were a little repetitive. Overall I would highly recommend this story, especially to any strong willed woman. Though I have listened to many historical romances Sarah MacLean was new to me. I’m delighted to have hopefully found a new stock of intelligent romances, from a fascinating time , written expertly.

Don’t listen at bedtime or you won’t get any sleep.

Revisado: 05-11-21

I am an avid listener and it has been a while since a book has grabbed my attention like this one did.
This book was so good that I stayed awake all night listening to it.
It keeps you guessing and is terrifying without being gory in any way.
Extremely well narrated.

Long, excellent, unnecessary quotes beginning each chapter .

Revisado: 03-04-21

Having really enjoyed the previous books in the series I was excited to start this one. The characters continue to develop and the plot was cleverly done. There are quotes from The Fairy Queen at the beginning of each chapter that I found irritating and added to the length of the book which was already a little too long.
On the whole this is a good thriller, excellently performed. I hope the series continues.

Beautifully written but slow and lacking substance

Revisado: 01-21-21

The descriptions of the scenery were nice, but this did not detract from it feeling like a recipe book with every meal described in mind numbing detail. The characters had more potential than the author developed . I stuck with it as the whole thing felt like it was building up to something but it ended with as much energy as the rest of the book. The whole thing was slow and almost dull. I dislike giving a poor review as it takes courage and skill to write a good book and for some this may be a good book. This review is one person’s opinion.

Something for all.

Revisado: 04-04-20

This is a beautifully written, superbly narrated story for anyone who wishes to feel when reading. Though one part of the plot, no spoilers, is a little unbelievable one can easily forgive. This story is a great reminder of the sacrifices of so many in the Second World War without being overly sentimental. Indeed this story made me laugh out loud. All of the characters are wonderfully portrayed. Indeed I want to move to Cornwall immediately! The back and forth in time that some reviewers complain about I thought were wonderfully woven and only enhanced the message that love, no matter who you are, how old you may be, or the life that you have led is really our greatest gift. I would highly recommend this book.
