About this listen
Two women, centuries apart, and the secrets that bind them.
Melody, a young single mother, discovers she's descended from the last Tsar, Nicholas II. She becomes the best hope of a secret global society, Guardians of the Romanov Legacy, dedicated to restoring a Romanov to the throne of a New Russia. A diary and an heirloom necklace inherited from her murdered grandmother hold the key to her identity and to the location of the Tsar's lost shipment of gold.
She must accept the sacrifices her birth demands and trust the machinations of the estranged father of her child. To refuse means turning her back on her heritage, her daughter's legacy, and the long line of her family's women who were keepers of the secret.
Will her longing for true love have world-changing consequences?
Genres: (Dual Timeline) Women’s Contemporary Fiction; Historical Imperial Russia Fiction (Romance); Historical Thrillers and Mysteries.

Though Anderson Cooper has always considered himself close to his mother, his intensely busy career as a journalist for CNN and CBS affords him little time to spend with her. After she suffers a brief but serious illness at the age of ninety-one, they resolve to change their relationship by beginning a yearlong conversation unlike any they have ever had before. The result is a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which they discuss their lives, the things that matter to them, and what they still want to learn about each other.

Years ago, a fight for supremacy took place between the two most powerful families in New Orleans. The battle was set in the metaphoric octagon, with the spotlight blazing. The city sat in paralyzed fear, awaiting word of a victor. Abraham Rames versus Isaiah Boudreau. One man would emerge victorious and rule the city of sin. Neither understood that the devil was in the details. Neither lived to see the rising sun. I’m Everett Rames, son of Abraham, and I am the devil. I took my rightful place as king of New Orleans.

I’ve made my mark and proven my loyalty to a man, a city, and a way of life. That loyalty has provided me with all the spoils of success. For the longest time, that hasn’t included a woman at my side. There is only one beauty that can bring my untapped desire to life. I shouldn’t have opened the door. Cracking open the stone and striking the flint is my doing. What follows is hers. With something so intense, will this spark lead to a blazing inferno? Will we make it out of the ashes before everything I hold dear is ravaged?

Story
Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman. Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance? It's not. This story begins with a contract. And an exchange of money. A lot of money. An angel perches nervously on one shoulder. A devil lounges smugly on my other. And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I'm doing.

Narration makes this audiobook a masterpiece
Summary –
One family's legacy passed down through the ages riddled with seduction, murder, and mystery. Still grieving the loss of her murdered grandmother, Melody opens a safe deposit box to discover she's a descendent of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. Her? A Romanov? She also discovers two diaries, one in Russian, and a beautiful diamond and emerald necklace. After a little research, she comes home to find her baby daughter and her Russian nanny missing. What happens next throws Melody in the middle of a conspiracy to reinstate the Romanov monarchy on the throne and she's helpless to stop it. Thinking of only her daughter, Melody will do anything to keep her safe, that is if Melody can stay alive.
Narrator’s overall voice –
Bob Johnson may seem like an ordinary name, but his voice is extraordinary. His narration is exemplary with the ability to sweep the listener away. I closed my eyes several times and allowed myself to travel to Russia. His ability to speak for several characters in various dialects makes the story come alive.
Does the narrator fit the characters?
Yes, he does. His mastery of Russian accents as well as American is impressive. If I didn’t know it was one man, I would’ve thought this was narrated by several people. Well done.
Narrator’s reading style –
Bob Johnson reads with a natural cadence I thoroughly enjoyed. Not too fast and not too slow.
Narrator’s impact on reading experience –
Because The Romanov Legacy is a dual timeline story, it can be difficult to keep track of everything, but Bob Johnson helps the listener along.
Narrator’s pacing –
The pacing in this audiobook is perfect. When there is action or an emotional scene, Bob picks up the pace. When there is a lot of information being presented, he slows down so the listener doesn’t get lost.
Audiobook flow –
The flow of this audiobook is sweeping with plenty of ebbs and flows. Bob Johnson is the conductor in this orchestra, and he makes sure the reader gets one heck of a performance.
What makes this audiobook unique –
If you're looking to be swept away to the lavish world of Imperial Russia, pick up this audiobook. If you love reading stories about secret societies, carrying on the bloodlines, and unraveling a puzzle, pick up this audiobook. If you're a historical fiction reader, you'll love The Romanov Legacy: A Novel audiobook.
Would I recommend this audiobook –
Yes! While this book is superb on its own merit, having Bob Johnson narrate it makes it a masterpiece. Highly recommend!
