A Comfortable Wife

By: Stephanie Laurens

Narrated by: Rosalind Ashford

Antonia was not going to dwindle into an old maid... Miss Antonia Mannering had made plans, and Lord Philip Ruthven played a large part in them. They had been childhood friends, but had not seen each other for years. She knew Philip was popular with the ladies, but he had never married any of them. Wouldn't he now be ready for a wife? If she could prove to him that she could run his home, not disgrace him in Society and be a comfortable wife for him, surely he would be prompted to propose to her. That they might fall in love had never occurred to her!

Not author's best, but reader makes it enjoyable

While IMO this isn't one of Stephanie Laurens best books, it's made enjoyable by good narration. I was disappointed by the rather unimaginative plot and predictable storyline, but the reader brought the place, time and all the characters vividly to life which saved it for me. I found her voice and delivery pleasant and easy to listen to, and just right for this gentle romance. It's not one of the Cynster novels, so by comparison it's quite tame.

English love story

Childhood friends..years later turns into a love story of course with on & off marriage and doubts....and of course twist and turns & a bit of mystery/intrigue....do they make it? Narrator good ...easy story to listen to. Author Lauren.... is great writer

narrator in slow motion

Hard to listen to this narrator in normal speed. Moved the speed up, and that helped, but still not ideal. Story was ok. I was hoping to have the Lester family actually in the story but they were just an occasional mention.

Very disappointed

i've never been disappointed about a story that was written by one of my favorite author. but i guess there's always the first.

Worst narration ever!!!

DNF narrator was awful. Could not get into it be cause the narrator was truly awful. Her voices sucked!!!
