I have loved every book I read of Paula Brackston so I was excited to read this one.
It was BORING. It did not segue smoothly between centuries, After a momentous event occurs mid book the rest of the book is tedious accounts of how long the wait is for some resolution. I am disappointed.

Love the book - don't love the narration

These stories need a new reader. The narrator makes every character sound as if they are playing in a bouncy ball house all the time. Her emotional range is upbeat or upbeat. The narration detracts from the authentic humanness of the characters

These books are great and I enjoy them but the narrator is terrible. Her affect is always bouncy and upbeat even when things are awful. More genuine emotion would make this book more enjoyable.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Bachelor Establishment to be better than the print version?

I never read the printed version but I love Audible because the characters come alive

What did you like best about this story?

I didn't know what to expect from Isabella Barclay since her character is so awful in the St Mary Chronicles but it was inconsequential.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the initial encounter. The repartee was always fun

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he says she has gotten into his heart. Awwwwww

What did you like best about Pirates and Prejudice? What did you like least?

I am a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice so almost any story related to Darcy and Elizabeth is fun for me

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The premise is adorable and exciting...but once the love is 'declared' the last few chapters are overkill. I ended up skipping parts and skipping the whole last chapter

Which character – as performed by Tiffany Halla Colonna – was your favorite?

Elizabeth

Do you think Pirates and Prejudice needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no follow up. It was too much of a good thing at the end. The only way a follow up would work is if it was them sailing together but not as pirates
