As Luck Would Have It

Providence Series, Book 1

After years of wild adventures overseas, Miss Sophie Everton is in no hurry to return home to the boring strictures of the ton. But she's determined to reclaim her family's fortune - even if she has to become a spy for the Prince Regent to do it. Before she can get her first assignment, she lands right in the lap of the dark and dashing Duke of Rockeforte. She's faced hungry tigers that didn't look nearly as predatory. Somehow the blasted man manages to foil her at every turn - and make her pulse thrum with something more than just the thrill of danger. Both are caught in a daring dance of espionage and desire. But to make a true love match, they'll have to learn to trust in each other...and, of course, a little bit of luck.

Loved it!

I'm looking forward to the next book! The first ones were delightful! next please .

Spies

Great book.Great characters.The story line was refreshing.Happy ending for Alex and Witt. A perfect match we’re found for both men.

Fun Book. Okay Narration

This was a fun book. After the first 14% struggle I pushed on an am glad I did.

I really liked Sophie and Alex together. Sophie especially, she was strong, smart, witty, and didn't take any crap. Alex was handsome and strong. They made a good match.

The story line and plot was good. I liked the spy plot and the little bit of mystery going on. There was a lot of dialogue throughout the entire book. I really liked a lot of the secondary characters like Evie and Mirabelle.

As for the narration, it was good. Carmen Rose is growing on me. She does a decent job with the men's voices and the cockney accents of the servants. She could work on the emotion part and her reading voice is a bit flat. She is much better than some narrators.

Enjoyable!

So.... I've given some thought into how to describe this book and I think I can .... it is as if someone (the author) had a incredible tale to tell but there was so much to it that the task was often overwhelming. It wasn't a matter of choosing words to create a story but rather trying to choose which of the stories many words to sort of sum it up. Some details got lost or temporarily misplaced, and some where just jumbled out of order. In the end it all made sense and coalesced into a solid story. I guess it was like listening to a story where the details were being pulled in from a storm and quickly relayed in the best assemblage possible.

If that made sense then you'll enjoy this book. It's a regency romance with a little confusion but a lot of fun.

Carmen Rose did an excellent job narrating. I highly recommend you listen to a snippet or two as the way she delivers is unique in its cadence but I've never minded it at all. For this book it's a perfect fit.

Heat Factor, lots of chemistry and steam but only a single real sex scene and it was tasteful.

Creditworthy? I say yes.

Entertaining

It was good but not the best one in the series. The narration was good though out the entirety
