What would have made Thalia Kids' Book Club: Raina Telgemeier Ghosts better?
I wanted the book! I don't know a single kid who is interested in listening to a long, rambling interview.

American heiress Emma Dunster has always been fun-loving and independent, with no wish to settle into marriage. She plans to enjoy her Season in London in more unconventional ways than husband hunting. But this time Emma's high jinks lead her into dangerous temptation. Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne, is a notorious rake who carefully avoids the risk of love until he plants one reckless kiss on the sensuous lips of this high-spirited innocent and condemns himself to delicious torment.

Murdered by Horrible Narration
Revisado: 12-18-16
Would you try another book from Julia Quinn and/or Lucy Rayner?
Julia Quinn, certainly. Lucy Rainer, no way.
What did you like best about this story?
Couldn't listen. I will dig out my print version.
What didn’t you like about Lucy Rayner’s performance?
Da da da dah. Da da da dah. Add a completely unnatural pattern of intonation with some underlying shrieking, and you've got the fingernails on blackboard performance of Lucy Rayner. Was her producer even listening as she recorded this? The narrator has no ear for narrative. Maybe she can sing. Or mime.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Irritation that a book I had looked forward to hearing was destroyed by poor narration. Who hired this woman?

Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second - or third - look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.

Skip this one!

Painful. Mean. An unpleasant story. I was uncomfortable and disappointed at the heartless and demeaning treatment of the heroine. This plot line should have been abandoned early on. It left no room for romance.

In a moment of recklessness, Gervase Tregarth, sixth Earl of Crowhurst, swears he’ll marry the next eligible lady to cross his path. Cloistered at his ancestral castle in Cornwall, with nary a suitable woman for miles, he never expects he’ll have to fulfill his pledge, at least not until the London season begins. But then he meets his neighbor, the very appealing Madeline Gascoigne.
Years of secret service to the Crown have taught Gervase the value of always having a loophole - there will be no wedding if he and Madeline are not compatible in every way.

Cloying NarrationI
Revisado: 01-18-12
What did you like best about Beyond Seduction? What did you like least?
It's difficult to get past the narrator's amazingly bad female voices. I enjoyed reading the book, but listening to it has proved to be impossible.
If you???ve listened to books by Stephanie Laurens before, how does this one compare?
This compares poorly to every other narration I've heard. All of Crossley's females sound like Monty Pythonish interpretations of women, and he has an irritating habit of raising his voice near the end of a sentence. His characters come across as priggish.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Steven Crossley?
Anyone who can read female voice without making them sound whiny would be a big improvement.
Was Beyond Seduction worth the listening time?
I was not able to get through all of Part 1. It was too painful.
