About this listen
At eighteen, Emmeline Ballentine’s father splashed out on one London season to introduce his daughter to polite society. Sadly, for Emmeline, polite society was not terribly receptive to a city trader’s daughter.
She only ever caught one gentleman’s fancy, the dishonorable Jeremy Vance who made her head spin as he singled her out for attention at the balls and assemblies. Her worldly chaperone warned her he was making a May game of her, but Emmeline had not heeded her warning. Consequently, her dreams were dashed, when at the close of the season, Jeremy announced his engagement to another.
Ten years later, their paths cross again in Bath. Emmeline is older and wiser, and a good deal poorer, and Jeremy is divorced. There is absolutely no chance of him making a fool of her again with his shocking offer of marriage. Is there?
A Foolish Flirtation is a stand alone romance set in Victorian England. It is over 130,000 words long. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and or sex scenes.

Story
I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

Some might call Princess Anja of Ivermere brave for offering herself up as a bride to Kael the Conqueror, a barbarian warlord who'd won his crown by the bloodied edge of his sword. It was not courage that drove Anja from her magic-wielding family's enchanted palace, however, but a desperate attempt to secure a kingdom of her own—even if she has to kill the Conqueror to do it. She expects pain beneath his brutal touch as she awaits her chance. She expects death if he discovers the truth of her intentions.

What can I say about the book? I'm a HUGE Alice Coldbreath's fan and I really loved how she redeemed Jeremy in my eyes. And she's also the only author who keeps me entertained through pages of decor choosing and walks and Greek mythology and household stuff! Angst and humor perfectly mixed, a real treat!
Great book!

I loved that it was a new series with familiar characters.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
In previous narrated books with Anne Flosnik or Carmen Rose, you have a partner in playing up the juxtaposition and journey of the different characters. Each of these narrators have an incredible range and really complement the work.
Unfortunately, Abigail Langham’s range is sadly limited. She has a whispery youthful and feminine voice that isn’t unpleasant, it just doesn’t really go anywhere. Of note, she could not bring Jeremy (MC) to life and I found that many nuances of humor and substance that are characteristic of this author were missed. Perhaps it is simply her lack of experience, but I find that she is just not a good fit for an author of this style and caliber. I purchase all of Alice Coldbreath’s books as well as the audiobooks, but sadly will not be purchasing further books from this narrator.
Another excellent story from Alice Coldbreath, narrator not up to snuff
