Entertaining, happy ending for all

Lovely to see all the “good” main characters find their deserved happy ending- entertaining story, no dull parts and I enjoyed listening to it all.

Original story line

Original and fast moving story line, couldn't stop listening! There are a few mild sex scenes but these are not just to fill the pages as in some books, they are appropriate to the story. Will certainly listen to more from this author.

lovely romantic story

The story is lovely and the way it's written is beautiful.
But I am English and the accent used by the reading actress grated on my ears for at least the 1st 10 chapters. I spent part of my listening trying to identify the speech problem. The American accent then came through.
I'm sure if you investigated amongst your English listeners you could find either a good voice coach or an actress who would be less grating to our ears. There are as many accents amongst the English as there are in America, even though we are smaller.
If you want to hear middle English, try those educated in any of the many private schools accross the country.
But as a long term listener to English peech performances I suggest you listen to the various rural accents, from Cornwell to Somerset, from Sussex to Yorkshire, from Wiltshire to Yorkshire. from Suffolk to Cambria. They will give you the voice tembre needed to be both smooth to the ear and differentiate between characters. And then do the same for the county main towns where the accents are harsher and still evolving and to some easier to listen to.

A great second book in the series

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I wasn’t sure that I would (I ignored the reviews whining about the narrator, because I find no fault with her - my advice: listen to a sample before purchasing). However the tale was really different from it’s predecessor and that threw me - given that it was about the same group of friends.

That’s where the genius lies. Yes, they’re friends, but no, they are not remotely alike and that is where the enjoyment begins. Lady Bell is more interesting and likeable - she has evidently learned something from her first sponsorship. I still don’t have a handle on her nemesis and look forward to their story.

All in all, this is a very palatable series for those who enjoy Regency Romances.

Poor Narration

Spoiled by the narrators voice it’s very annoying so couldn’t get into the actual story

Poor narration

The story isn't particularly gripping but I would have persisted had it not been for the inadequate narration. I gave up after chapter 8.

Grating but enjoyable

Sometimes the voices and specific pronunciations are grating on the ears (like thot instead of thought) but an enjoyable story if you struggle through the listen.

Parrots

Who knew parrots belonged in a love story?! Getting used to the narrator and i like romances where there is a bigger picture going on too. Really liked Jocelyn. Will carry on with the series & I’m getting used to the narrator

I Loved this Book

The next instalment of this series was equally as good as the first other than this had more laughs.
I can't wait to listen to the next instalment.
I would definitely recommend it.
