No problems with the narrator

After reading many reviews about the narration of this book, I was hesitant. But I am glad I took the chance. I was very happy with the narration. I thought she did a wonderful job. She had just the right innocent sounding voice to read for Victoria.

I may have had a different view had I listened to the other books in this series first, because I hate it when they change narrators. But since this was the first book I listened to, it didn’t bother me a bit.

Also, I loved the story. I had read this book many years ago, but I had forgotten all the details. So it was like experiencing this book for the first time all over again.

I miss Susan Duerden!

I think this was another high quality effort from Lisa Kleypas - one of my favorites! I miss some of the lighthearted wittiness of others of her novels, but it was still very engaging. The narrator read well, but her voices for males hadn’t near the range of Susan’s renditions, and it seemed to lack some of the interpretive nuances. Worth a listen, but I hope we can get the previous narrator back for future releases!

Good story

Well I definitely enjoyed the story, but this narrator will not be on my shelf of favorites!! She tried, she really did, it just didn't really meet the mark. Had to speed it up because of her. There was a great plot twist which was great fun. Bought on a 2 for 1 sale and I’d buy the rest in the series. Only 2/1 sale if its tge same narrator though! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kleypas is a top favorite of mine.

Possibly better as read; maybe not.narration was challenging because of,so many mens voices but narrator pretty much met he challenge. bravo!

Pleasantly surprised

I have read most of Lisa Kleypas’ books and love almost all of them (a few exceptions). I wanted to start this series but resisted due to the negative reviews on the narration. I ended up picking it up when it was on sale so decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! The narrator is not terrible! I didn’t mind her at all.

That being said…it is not my favorite but not at the bottom of my Kleypas books list either. Great premise but dragged a bit. I didn’t have any trouble putting it down to get things done, unlike most of her books when I stay up all night just to finish. I have the next two books ready to listen to but I also see they are about to be re-recoded by Rosalyn Landor. Not sure if I want to hold off of not yet.

In any case - don’t let the negative reviews of the narrator hold you back from giving this one a try.

A bit predictable

Author certainly tied up the outstanding bullet point for the storyline. No surprises there. No cliff hanger…no apparent sequel part 2. Yawn…

Another good Kleypass story

Well, it’s Lisa Kleypass so it’s bound to be good!

I was going along thinking this was an okay story but it kept getting better.

The narrator was okay. Not my favorite but I didn’t find her distracting from the story.
