About this listen
Witty and refreshingly candid, lovely Serena has been capturing hearts young and old alike. Her guardian uncle worries, though, that at 23 she will soon become a spinster. He wants a better life for her than that, but she doesn't want to make a match without her heart being in it.
And none of the men courting her have touched her heart - not Warren, the old friend who woos her even as he eyes other women; certainly not Eustace, the minister concerned more with appearances than compassion; not even Freddy, perhaps the most ardent of her suitors but at 19 still a puppy.
Then Freddy's uncle, the handsome Lord Pendleton, arrives to extract his nephew from the woman he expects Serena to be - one interested only in wealth and a title. When he refuses to believe that, far from trying to ensnare Freddy, she has been urging him to return to Oxford, her ire gets the better of her. She decides to let his lordship stew in his own juices. And when it becomes clear Lord Arrogant's plan is to get her to change her course from Freddy to himself, feisty Serena sets her own course.

Bizarre delivery of a good book!
I’d recommend reading it! The narrator had a peculiar cadence, odd pitch, often halting rhythm and over bizarre delivery. It’s too bad because the story is good.
You want to listen? Listen to the snippet first, then listen six more times and if you’re still ok with it then go for it....
Heat Factor is low, one brief sex scene, not well written so it’s good it was short! Not tasteful terminology either, but maybe for some people those words are used commonly enough... but a honey pot is a.... well a plush bear I know can explain what it is! ;)
Creditworthy, not exactly....

Sweet Romance
Would you consider the audio edition of Serena to be better than the print version?
I would have to say that I got different experiences from both. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I would have to say Serena, a beautiful young lady who is happy with her life. She takes care of her uncle and he wants her to find happiness and marry but she is holding out for a love match. She knows that none of the men she has met will do. Well that is until she meets Lord Pendleton.
Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah Agliotta and VOplanet Studios ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first I have listened of them but I did really enjoy it and hope to listen to more of them.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Amazingly sweet love story that will pull at your heart strings
Any additional comments?

started out a very enjoyable read but.....
But I can't understand why a writer presents a wise beyond her years sensible and wonderful heroine then to continue controversy I suppose has that same savvy intelligent character make the dumbest decisions and assumptions. creating bad situations and relational dynamics that a simple word or two of communication would solve. a communication that any normal person would have made under the same circumstances. I found myself so infuriated I could not continue the book, though I was more than halfway through it and wanted to know what would happen next. Sorry mega dumb leading ladies sours the read for me. Great narration however, Ms. Agliotta is as usual without peer in her excellent narration.

Wonderful love story
If you could sum up Serena in three words, what would they be?
Inspiring love story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Serena?
She always did what her heart told her to do no matter the danger!
Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah Agliotta and VOplanet Studios ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
It just sounded very wonderful and enjoyable.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes when Daniel misjudges her and doesn't have enough faith in her love, so that made me very upset as well because I could relate. Then what made me laugh was when Daniel beat up the reverien because he deserved it for slapping Serena!
Any additional comments?
I thought this was a very inspiring and wonderfully written story and I enjoyed reading it very much. I just love author Claudy Conn's writing skills and wonderful imagination for creating such wonderful stories for her reader to read. I would recommend her books for others to read for they are such great reads and once you grab one of her books you won't want to stop!

Loved it for the second time..
This is one of those books that's real close to either loving it or hating it, and only a little in-between. I actually loved everything about it. I absolutely loved Serena's personality and sense of adventure. I loved Daniel and his confusion about what was going on between Serena and his nephew Freddie. And I love, love, loved Freddie. The voice the narrator gave Freddie was just fabulous, always so full of life and child-like excitement. I loved that it wasn’t just a silly love story that went on and on and went nowhere. It had robbery, treason and murder in it, so there was something to look forward to other that another misunderstanding, and a whole lot more angst. Oh, there was angst in this story but there was something more than that, too.
I really liked the secondary characters, Serena’s uncle, Squire Moorely, Jasper, Lewis and Billy. I really couldn’t stand Eustace or Warren from the very beginning.
There was one explicit sex scene in this and no swearing.
As to the narrator: As long as a narrator can make men sound like men and reads with such emotion you really can’t complain. Even if a female narrator reads like a robot I can overlook that as long as her men sound like they should. And Mary Sarah Agliotta’s men definitely sounded like men, so I’m happy with the book.

was possible.

More life. character seperation.

A lovely story
A romantic mystery with all types of men vying for the hand in marriage of Serena, our heroine.
She is apparently about to be "on the shelf" at the tender age of 23, but that is how it was back then. She refuses to marry for anything but love and so will not choose any of her current suitors.
And along comes Lord Daniel Pendleton, the uncle of nineteen year old Freddy, one of her suitors. He intends to persuade Freddy to leave Serena alone and go back to school.
She falls madly in love with Daniel and he with her but neither of them feel they can admit this to each other and the story builds from there.
There is a mystery to solve about a stolen gold shipment and they are involved in unraveling this.
This is a lovely, well written story but I was not enamored with the narration in the audiobook which I found a bit stilted with the sentences incorrectly chopped up into smaller portions and often rushed.
Perhaps the ebook alone would have been a better choice.

One Sassy Lady with a Rambunctious Streak !

Serena is a very comical lass. She has to wed but she is very high strung and all likely hoods of finding a man are useless at times.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Serena?
When Lord Pendleton goes to retrieve his nephew and his eyes land on Serena
Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah Agliotta and VOplanet Studios ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to this narrator before
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Serena realizes she is deeply in love with Lord Pendleton
Any additional comments?
A very funny, comical and romantic historical book
