Great characters, great plot! Beryl and Edwina never fail to surprise and entertain. Can't wait for the next book!

I have really enjoyed this series so far and was excited to hear Clayton’s story. However, they changed the narrator for book 4 and I was extremely disappointed. This narrator reminds me of the most high born, pretentious lady who has ever spoken. She sounds like Cressida Cowper in Bridgerton. Her voice has an airy quality that makes it difficult to listen to and is so soft in places it’s hard to understand. I couldn’t return the book because I didn’t use a credit to purchase, but after only 15 minutes I couldn’t continue to listen either.

The Duke’s “deep” voice did not come across at all, and I often confused his words with that of the women due to lack of differentiation. The main female character sounded more like she was 12 than 21 and it made it difficult to appreciate any of the romance. Overall, the story was good and I enjoyed it, but would like to hear more variation in the character voices.

I found this book irritating and difficult to listen to. Neither character was particularly endearing and it took the author forever to make a point! I only made it about 5 hours in and couldn't imagine going another 10 hours!

"Cozy" murders in historical settings. Nice descriptions of period items and customs, such as clothing, hair styles, etiquette etc make you fell as though you are. Good character development. I hope the author continues this series, I only have one left to read!

First of all, the narrator kept switching between the name Emilie and Amelia, sometimes in the same sentence and it was obnoxious. Pick one. While the story itself was interesting, I felt cheated at the end. They didn’t solve the main story line and there were still so many questions. I’m disappointed!

I downloaded this book on the recommendation of reviewers in an online book club. They swore it had a great British narrator and a decent story. No way! If that accent is British, so am I! It sounded more like someone from Manhattan mixed with a little West Virginia. I couldn’t even decide if I liked the story or not because I was so disappointed with the narration. However, sex with a complete stranger in the first chapter is not my cup of tea. I guess I should’ve known better based on the title.

Just when I thought I knew what the outcome would be, and headed for a box of tissues, Jennifer Ashley delivered! She took everything I expected and twisted it around, right with my heart! Devastation, family, heroism, history, it’s all here! Truly stunning!

This was such a good book, but what an emotional roller coaster! Ella Carey is so skilled at recreating history and pulling readers into the past. I truly love reading her books, and I'm always immediately immersed. Her ability to showcase these amazing women and their valor, is outstanding! I found myself laughing and crying right along with them. Overall, it's a powerful and positive story, that emphasizes these brave women, the power of friendship, and the sorrow of loss. I am quite grateful to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Ella Carey for giving me the chance to read and review her book. In terms of performance, I was a bit disappointed with the reader. She took a long time to get into a flow of reading and seemed rather flat. Her portrayal of the "current" characters made them seem old, when in reality they would have only been in their 50's.

Great narration. Excellent story, very captivating. Especially pertinent under the current President. I highly recommend it. Very engaging and entertaining. NOT a dry political novel.
