Story
Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Story
Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Really?
I'm not impressed with this story. It was a little too far fetched for a novel not in the Fantasy category. Besides, there was not a lot of romance between the main characters... I felt cheated. There was no courtship between them. No butterflies in the stomach. On the other hand the narration is quite good.

Barbara Rosenblat is a new narrator for me but she did an outstanding job is this book. She brought the characters to life in such a way that I couldn't stop listening. Amanda Quick is an old author friend, so there's no surprise that this book is such a favorite. There was adventure, mystery, humor and best of all....romance. This will be a repeat listen for me....for sure.

Fun and Entertaining
What other book might you compare With This Ring to and why?
I couldn't stop thinking of the Amelia Peabody series that Barbara Rosenblat also narrates most often. This didn't take away from the excellent narration and delightful story. Beatrice is my favorite kind of woman. Strong minded and strong willed but appreciative of a strong man who can balance her and keep her safe.
Which scene was your favorite?
I really liked the scene where Beatrice forces her way into the Earl of Montecrest's home. Her man handling of the butler was simply delightful.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I enjoyed the book so much that the next one is queued up in my listening list.
Any additional comments?
This was my first Arcane society story and I kept thinking so where is the underlying story of this society. Apparently it was down played in this story.
Also, the narrator's voice sounds a little older than I really think Beatrice and Leo at 24 and 40 should have sounded. It's a picky comment and certainly didn't ruin the book but it might bother some listeners. The narrator does a great job of keeping the character's dialog distinct so you know who is speaking and with great delivery. It makes up for this inconsistency.

Sentence. LOUD INHALE. Sentence. Swallowing sound. LOUD INHALE. Pause. Sentence.
This is a mystery/romance set in Regency-era England. LOUD INHALE. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s a good story with decently crafted characters. LOUD INHALE. Pause. Decent book by a decent author.
I listen to a ridiculous amount of audiobooks and it’s pretty rare that a narrator will bother me. None of the other reviews mentioned the narrator, so maybe nobody else even noticed the narrator’s habits, but I couldn’t help noticing. The narrator seems to think that breathing in deeply/inhaling loudly enhances the story telling. And the pauses. And the occasional mouth noises/swallowing sounds. Oh man. And the loud inhales are between almost EVERY SENTENCE. It was a little maddening - but, hey, like I said, since other reviews don’t mention it, maybe I’m in the minority with noticing these habits.
If you have the Audible Escape package, I don’t think the narration is so bad that you shouldn’t download the book. But the narration is annoying enough so that I think I would’ve returned this book if I had used a credit to purchase this book.

Easy relaxing listen
I recommend this as an easy listen, the narrator gives a great performance. The story won’t keep you on the edge of your seat but it’s still worthwhile.

Good ..... but not great!
This book isn't your ordinary handsome rogue meets lady blah blah, they have a few problems then live happily ever after. No, this has a good plot that will keep you guessing right til the end. Good narrator too.
I've heard better Amanda Quick (Jayne Ann Krentz) books but I like her work so will continue to download anything available.
