Terrible narration!

Reviewed: 02-12-21

The only reason why there are two stars is because the storyline was pretty good. I don’t understand why the author felt like she needed to put so much sexual smack in it though. The reader was absolutely terrible! I can’t tell you how many times I was tempted to stop where I was. It was almost painful at times.The star I gave the reader was because i had to give it something to finish the review. It sounded like someone learning to read and not knowing where to put emphasis. The reading didn’t flow. Very choppy. I think you get my point.

I thought the story was original, that’s probably why I continue to listen.

There is not a Stella Riley book that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Her stories are full of wit, cleverness , and the storyline is always interesting and entertaining . The plot is well done and the narrator is fantastic. I recommend any book you wish to read by this author.

Gagging

Reviewed: 07-10-20

I finished the book, however, I believe that was solely due to Alex Wyndham’s narrative, he could make reciting the alphabet over and over again pleasing. I am not interested in any more books by this author. Very distasteful, the male lead was extremely rude and jealous and the female lead was content being a mistress, not my style at all. I’ll be going back to Stella Riley novels.

Couldn’t finish

Reviewed: 07-10-20

After listening to a good portion of this book, I am really surprised at all the good reviews. I feel that the Earl was very condescending and overbearing and disrespectful… In no way a gentleman, especially for the time. I feel that the story lacked taste and a good plot as well as storyline. The narrator was OK, but I think it added to my distaste of the book. I could not finish which is very rare for me.

Very well written and narrated

Reviewed: 04-20-20

I believe this account to be authentic, although there is so much confusion by historian account. You can’t very well dispute actual diaries though, can you? Many accounts of royals are truly disturbing, this one is one of many of them, tragic as it is.
Well worth the read.

Short but sweet

Reviewed: 03-19-20

The characters were pretty developed considering how short a novel it was. Some parts were a bit sappy, but the story is well written and tasteful. An enjoyable quick read.

Perfect if you like pornographic romance

Reviewed: 01-09-20

This story had several detail explicit scenes to satisfy your sensual seeking imagination. The story itself was wonderful, but the explicit scenes started to become tiresome. If you’re looking for a clean wholesome romance novel, this isn’t it.

Terrible narration

Reviewed: 12-25-19

This was the worst narrated book I have ever listen to, and I’ve listened to a good many. It sounded like the reader was just learning how to punctuate vocally. The story was good, but because of the narration, was tainted. If i was the author, I would be insulted. It would be better to read this book on your own in my opinion.

Endearing Story

Reviewed: 10-03-19

I’m learning fast that I love Mimi’s writing. Her stories are enduring and beautiful. This was well written, the characters were enjoyable. The narration was amazing. This story reminded me much of my favorite novel Jane Eyre. I would highly recommend for a read of pure entertainment and a happy ending.

Beautiful story overall-worth the read

Reviewed: 01-23-19

The story was beautiful. The part I had an issue with was swearwords that I know my friends would be uncomfortable reading or hearing. It took a while for me to get used to the narration, the narrator’s voice for many characters was harsh or brazen and somewhat unnatural, but her accents were extremely well done making the story enjoyable and more bearable. I’m still not sure if the story was based on a real life account or not. I do recommend this book, just be aware of strong language and references to intimacy.
