Lots of Steam, Lots of Dirty Talk

Revisado: 07-05-23

I love a bodice ripper and Mary Jane Wells. It’s the perfect combination. This book was a surprise because the steamy scenes are definitely grittier… lots of you want me, you like that, yada yada. Still good story and will get the next one, but this is not the series if you’re looking for the man to be a gentle lover…

Narrator swap!!!

Revisado: 07-05-23

I immediately purchased this book because I loved the first in the series which was narrated my MJW (who is always a favorite). I was disappointed in this narrator… everyone sounded at least 50 and a tad frail which is so opposite of the strong heroine. Really loved the story. Meh on the narration.

Great fresh concept and story arc. I actually ended up listening at .9x and it made the story sultrier…

Narrator… oof.

Revisado: 06-18-23

I have listened to all of the books by this author. I don’t always love the heroines, but this one I did! However, the narrator’s accents are SO bad. The highlander sounds German and the heroine sounds like a cowboy. It ruins the audiobook. I will however finish reading (not listening to) the book to see how this plot plays out.

Fun Listen

Revisado: 05-17-23

Like many romance novels, there’s a pattern. We know what will happen. But, this was a cute story and the narrator performed well. I didn’t love the duke’s voice at first, but it grew on me. The description that this is Pretty Woman meets Bridgerton is spot on.

Narrator Switch!

Revisado: 03-26-23

I get it. Sometimes series switch narrators… but this swap makes all the characters seem at least 50. The Victorian Elderly saving the poor and unfortunate of London.

This one was a bigger leap connecting the penny dreadful stories to the main character stories. Maybe I wasn’t as “into” this one, but I’m not reeeeally sure how Barnabus’s book tied in. This was my least favorite in the series so far.

Endearing ❤️

Revisado: 03-11-23

I am truly enjoying this series. The books are predictable in their love story, but the historical backgrounds are wonderful. I adore historical fiction books with a root in actual history. The plot is fun and the fella’s epiphany very sweet. This series ticks all the boxes for me: funny, sweet, spicy, and clever.

My only criticism was Letti’s voice. It’s “fine,” but not my favorite. Violet and Arthur in the first book were perfect. It’s hard to love a heroine with a non-lovable voice. But, this is fully a personal preference.

Quirky

Revisado: 07-16-21

I downloaded this book for a road trip and it wasn’t quite the murder mystery I was hoping for. The pace is slower, BUT if you typically read historical fiction there is a lot of funny tidbits layered in this book. Both my husband and I laughed out loud multiple times. It would be perfect as a chill weekend or commuting listen.

Great Non-Romance Chick-Lit

Revisado: 08-30-15

Loved that this book was not about romance! Still fun and full of energy without following the same old story line. Some of the character's voices are a tad nails-on-a-chalkboard but overall, I really loved this story.

Fresh Story

Revisado: 04-10-15

Really liked the book. Having listened to Outlander the books on audio, it was a little strange to have Davina Porter as the narrator. Her voice for Captain Randall in Outlander is the same as the love interest in this book which took some getting used to. Overall, fun listen.
