Laura Kinsale's best romantic comedy, narrated in Nick Boulton's sexy, wicked voice....

Trevelyan d'Augustin and Lady Callista Talliafaire were secret sweethearts, until the day her father dismissed him with a whip across the face. Ten years and three jiltings later, shy Callie is resigned to a quiet village life as the late earl's spinster daughter. But now Trev has returned from his estates in France, upending everything, dragging her into adventures, stealing Hubert the prize-winning bull, and flinging Callie's heart into mayhem again.

Laura and Nick fans who enjoy a practical, witty heroine will love shy Lady Callista with her cattle and daydreams, and believe dashing Trev will be a lucky man if he can win her back...or perhaps just kidnap her instead!

Critic reviews

  • Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award
"Boulton's delivery and pacing not only capture the growing emotional and sometimes breathless physical attraction between the star-crossed lovers, but also convey their tantalizingly sharp and witty repartee." ( Audiofile Magazine)
"A rich and rewarding romance from the legendary Laura Kinsale!" (Mary Jo Putney, New York Times best-selling author of Loving a Lost Lord)
"Laura Kinsale creates magic. Her characters live, breathe, charm, and seduce, and her writing is as delicious and perfectly served as wine in a crystal glass." (Best-selling author, Lisa Kleypas)

I have always LOVED LK books, but I admit the stories usually have a darker side to them. Characters are never perfect and may even have a physical challenge. Not so here. The hero has done some things in the past he is not proud of, but it is all in the past.
Both the hero and heroine are loyal, sweet and giving making it very easy as a reader to fall in love with them. As always you will also enjoy well developed supporting characters in addition to a main animal, in this case a bull, as depicted in the cover. If you enjoy LK, NB duo, this book will not disappoint.

Incredibly well written, Superbly narrated

If you could sum up Lessons in French in three words, what would they be?

Charming, funny, marvelous

Have you listened to any of Nicholas Boulton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first Nicholas Boulton book and I'm hooked. I bought other Laura Kinsale books because of this reading. Nicholas could read the phone book and it would be worth it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Any additional comments?

I'm a huge fan of Stephanie Laurens' books read by Simon Prebble. I'm so very happy to find another great author with an absolutely fabulous narrator like Nicholas Boulton. Many happy hours of listening in my future. I couldn't be happier.

So Happy I found this!

Great narration of a story full of humor and sassy dialogue. A small bit of heat. The story is refreshingly different from the usual historical romance.

Loved it

Delightful romantic comedy, superbly narrated/acted by Nicholas Boulton in a SWOONWORTHY deep voice.
Lots of humor, a shy heroine, and a gallant, honorable, often reckless but always charming hero make this tale of teenage sweethearts who meet again after many years apart, utterly satisfying.
The hero's enchanting mother, a mischievous French Duchess, is an additional pleasure.
Set in the English countryside in the early 1800s.

Wonderful romantic comedy

I know it's been said many times over, but I have to add my own admiration and great thanks to Ms. Kinsale and Mr. Boulton - each in their own way completely brilliant, but together they create marvelous stories. I can't get enough.

This is my first review; I'm not one to put my voice out in the ether, but I couldn't resist gushing. I have a monumental crush on this dreamy narrator and my heart will break when I've run through all these delightful books.

Two for the one price

I loved this story when I read it, but it is gorgeous with Boulton's narration. I want to re-listen immediately because it was such an amazing experience.

Boulton is the penultimate narrator

My favorite Kinsale book so far and my favorite couple. And . . surprise, surprise, neither one is impaired in any way. They are amazingly normal - a definite change from the author's usual lovers.

CUTE COUPLE AWARD
