London, 1786. Lord Henri-Antoine has returned from the Grand Tour to a life of privilege and excess. A vast inheritance allows him every indulgence, free from responsibility. Yet, Henri-Antoine maintains a well-ordered existence, going to great lengths to conceal an affliction few understand and many fear.

Miss Lisa Crisp is a penniless orphan who relies on the charity of relatives to keep her from the poorhouse. Intelligent and unflappable, Lisa will not allow poverty to define her. She leads a useful life working among the sick poor.

Under startling circumstances, Henri-Antoine and Lisa meet. There is instant attraction. When they find themselves attending the same wedding in the country, Henri-Antoine offers Lisa a scandalous proposition, one she should refuse but yearns to accept. Following her heart could ruin them both.

A standalone romantic adventure set against the backdrop of Treat, ancestral home of the dukes of Roxton. Satyr's Son will delight fans of the series with cameos by many beloved characters, while new listeners will discover the myriad pleasures and glittering aristocratic world of the Roxton family through the fresh eyes of newcomer Lisa Crisp. Satyr's Son is a Cinderella story with a heartwarming happily ever after.

This may have been my favorite book of the Roxton series… And I do not say that lightly as I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of these in both Kindle and Audible versions.

Strangely, this book has been on my TBR list since before it was even released. Somehow after adding it to my “to be read” list, I lost track of it and then when I noticed it, I thought I had already read it. When I recently finished the latest Alec Halsey book by Lucinda Brant, I read the description on this one again and realized I had never read it.

What a joy it was to discover that and then to be able to both read and listen to this book at the same time. Teddy and Jack are delightful and I was happy to read about their love, their friendship and their wedding, the fitting outcome of their long attachment to one another. I also so appreciated Teddy and Lisa’s great friendship, as well as Jack and Harry.

But most of all, my heart melted throughout the entire revelation of the relationship between Henri Antoine and Lisa Crisp. Their meeting is indeed unique and rather difficult, but also beautiful in its own way. Henri (or Harry) is certainly not your typical love interest. Of course he is not your typical anything. But neither is Lisa.

Their interactions literally spark and their relationship seems destined from beginning to end. There’s is a beautiful, although troubled, love story. But the culmination of the story warmed my heart to such a degree that I nearly cried.

Truly I do not want their story to end. There is a point near the end where it is mentioned how people will someday think of them. Their relationship rang so true to me that I find myself being one of “those people” wondering what the future held for them. I truly hope that this isn’t really the end of the Roxton family series, and that perhaps we will get updates on Henri and Lisa, Jack and Teddy, as well as perhaps the younger generation of this family.

Thank you, Lucinda, for this beautiful story and wonderful family - and for making them come to life for me and many others.

The narration was, of course, brilliant, being done by the amazing Alex Wyndham.

Almost Cinderella like. A sweet girl and relatives who are not nice make this an interesting story. Then a handsome stranger is thrown into the mix and you have a good story!

A love story

What made the experience of listening to Satyr's Son: A Georgian Historical Romance the most enjoyable?

Nicholas Boulton does a very good job differentiating between gender voices and dialects. This listen I found the cadence he uses for some voices irritating. When he reads young females' lines his speaks quickly, with a lighter tone - which is good - but he's using a choppy cadence. He emphasizes the last word in every sentence, then there's a pause, as in "full stop," then he reads the next sentence, then full stop. I want to encourage him to be mindful of this choppy style. It's not natural and I know he's better than this. The audio director needs to keep Nicholas from falling into this unnatural sounding speech pattern. This is why the narration only got 4 stars instead of the usual 5 I have given to the other books narrated by him in this series.

This is my favorite story from this series.
Lucinda Brant as usual works her magic. This has a very romantic ‘Cinderella’ theme. The supporting characters are priceless!

STELLAR!

The Roxton books are a series worth repeating and this was my second complete listen to Satyr’s Son. The standard of high quality writing, vivid characters, attention to detail, and excellent narration is consistent from volume to volume. The plots are always fresh, even when they fall within classic Romance tropes. The heroines are always interesting as individuals. The heroes are men of depth, not cliched stereotypes.
Writers of Lucinda Brant’s caliber are rare. Fortunately, repeat listens to her previous books almost makes waiting for the next one bearable.

Alex Wyndham "Sounds like how hot chocolate tastes; sweet, delicious and sinful." Lucinda Brant spins another delightful tale that I can't put down.

Alex Wyndham and Lucinda Brant are perfection

Alex Wyndham’s voice is like liquid chocolate oozing down your throat – smooth, lush, decadently appealing and sensual. His portrayal of the different characters is flawlessly done and it makes you feel as if you are eavesdropping on the lives and conversations of everyone in the book. He flows flawlessly from character to character, accent to accent and gender to gender. You feel the emotions of each character.

This book was so good that I didn’t want it to end – but all of Lucinda Brandt’s books are that way for me. I kept wanting to pause the playback of the book because I wanted to prolong the enjoyment and at the same time I wanted to speed up the playback because I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. So, this is quite a wrap-up for the Roxton series and I will miss these old friends.

Lord Henri-Antoine (Henry) Hesham is the second son of the fifth Duke of Roxton and brother to the sixth. He is rich beyond belief and has been coddled and spoiled all of his life. Not only does he have the looks and temperament of his father, he has the same reputation for debauchery as well. He goes from bed to bed – even going so far as to ‘share’ the mistress of one of his friends. He’s also very, very private because he has an illness that is much misunderstood and maligned during that time. Beneath all of that debauchery hides the heart of a romantic who is sweet, generous, caring and loving. It is so much fun to watch Lisa as she peels the layers back to reveal the real man who lies beneath the façade.

Lisa Crisp was orphaned at age nine and became dependent on relatives who didn’t want her (the Warners). She wasn’t exactly abused, she was just ignored – she was like the furniture, just there. She was given the opportunity to attend a boarding school for young ladies where she befriends ‘Teddy’, a member of the Cavendish/Roxton family. They were best friends until Lisa was sent down in disgrace. She lost touch with Teddy until, out of the blue, she receives an invitation to attend Teddy’s wedding and it is made plain to Lisa’s relatives that it is unacceptable for Lisa to refuse the invitation.

Lisa is calm, intelligent, trustworthy and beloved by the patients, the ‘poor sick’, at Dr. Warner’s clinic. She even volunteers as an amanuensis for those ‘poor sick’ enabling them to send letters home. Her work at the clinic enabled her to recognize that Henry was having a seizure when she first saw him. She secured and treated him while protecting his privacy – all without having any idea who he was. She actually goes through a fair portion of the book without knowing who he is. Because of his dress, speech, and mannerisms, she knows he is of the aristocracy, but doesn’t have a name to go with it.

Henry’s best friend is getting married – to Teddy – so he and Lisa find themselves at the same two-week wedding get-together. Lisa and Henry find themselves more and more attracted to each other. It is fun to watch Henry open up and blossom and Lisa come to realize that she is a worthy individual. Then, throw in a couple of shrewish ‘friends’ from school and another ‘friend’ bent on revenge and you find a lot of wrenches in the works. Can Lisa and Henry overcome the obstacles thrown in their way? Will Henry’s family accept a union between them? You’ll just have to read this lovely book to find out.

I requested and received this e-book at no cost to me and volunteered to read it; my review is my honest opinion and given without any influence by the author or publisher."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Harry's story in this series. Tears were shed. Lucinda Brant's writing makes you feel like you are living in this period with her descriptions and you can picture all the glorious scenes in great detail. The narrator was incredible. Highly recommend this book and this series!
