Another satisfying story from SR!

Another very satisfying book from Stella Riley. The sweet love story of a VERY unlikely pair woven with a bit of intrigue. This was an excellent road trip binge listen! Perfect narration. This was Shadows #2 and I am always delighted when Stella brings in former characters and allows us an updated glimpse into their lives. Stella paints in lovely detail, an accurate historical & cultural picture of her characters and setting. I learn about English history & culture without even realizing it!

Fascinating take on an iconic figure.

Revisado: 05-15-24

It was fascinating to get acquainted with the iconic character of the American West, Butch Cassidy. Such a unique cast that I am so grateful to have met. As usual, Amy Harmon weaves historical fact with fiction to create a beautiful story. Depicting human character, struggle, loss and love so beautifully. Excellent narration! At times the story seemed to plod along, a bit slow for me. I wish I had read the author’s note at the beginning. Throughout the book, I found myself wondering what was true and what was not. But that is just me.

Fascinating history & setting. Slow start.

Revisado: 03-05-24

Big fan of Kate Quinn. However, this was not my favorite. Very slow start for me. Glad I did not give up. Was not sucked into the story or characters like I have been in her other novels. Really enjoyed the setting of San Francisco and gaining a better understanding of the quake of 1906 and the subsequent destruction of the city by fire. Appreciated learning about the Chinese who lived in the city at that time. Ending was rather anticlimactic for me. Overall a 3.5

I’ll be thinking on this book for a while……

Revisado: 02-27-24

A heavy, heartbreaking and beautiful story. Like The Nightingale, this is a KH book that I wish I could read again for the first time. So much learned through this novel. I’ll be thinking on this one for a while. Easy five stars.

Sweet but not cheesy.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday listen. Fabulous narration. Clever and humorous quips and banter. Numerous laugh out loud moments. Sweet but not too cheesy or typical. Recommend!

Just meh

Revisado: 11-23-23

I really wanted to love this book as it came highly recommended. But it fell a bit flat for me. Too implausible. Male & female narration would have made it better. Appreciated the witty and humerus banter.

Disappointed

Revisado: 11-17-23

Only six chapters in and I quit. Explicit content and annoying characters have me wondering how I could possibly put up with 5 more hours of this. Decent narration but I would not recommend.

Another delightful story from Stella Riley!

Revisado: 09-18-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Since 2020, when I flew through Stella Riley’s Rockliff series during quarantine, I have eagerly awaited each of her subsequent novels. As an American myself, Stella’s detailed descriptions of life among the English aristocracy are fascinating. Her characters are unique, endearing and the plot twists pull me in. In The Shadow Earl, I was delighted to meet new characters. I hope to hear from them again in future installments. Alex Wyndham’s narration as always, brings the tale to life beautifully.
