French Leave

By: Sheri Cobb South

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine

Forced by bankruptcy and scandal into exile in France, Lord Waverly expects never to return to his homeland until, staggering home from a gaming hell in the wee hours of the morning, he encounters a young novice escaping from a convent. When she asks him to take her to England, promising him that her English grandfather will reward him handsomely for her safe conveyance, Waverly reluctantly agrees.

Alas, Waverly soon realizes the enormity of his task. When he delivers the irrepressible Lisette to her grandfather's home only to discover that the old man is dead, Waverly is left with no alternative but to offer her the protection of his name. And when he is unexpectedly reunited with the woman whose marriage precipitated his flight to France, Waverly begins to discover that his marriage of convenience is likely to prove very inconvenient indeed....

Enjoyable and interesting

I always enjoy a good romance without all the descriptive bed scenes. The narrator took a little while to adjust to only because most of the romances I’ve listened to so far are read by women. He did a good job.

French Leave did not disappoint

I was a bit skeptical about listening this last book in the series because I did not care for the Earl of Beverley in the 1st book but it did not disappoint. Ethan was great as usual and the narrator was spectacular. Most of the time I don’t like female voices done by men but Mr Levine did a great job and the humor, French accent were on point.

Pretty good story

I enjoyed the story. It’s my least favorite of the series mostly because Waverly doesn’t seem to actually change in any way (become softer, nicer, etc) based on the prologue. I feel like his character development is non-existent. Besides that is strangely romantic some how (which also is confusing because I don’t like Waverly that much, and Lisette is sort of ditzy and too young for him //which is mentioned A LOT through the book// and yeah Waverly is sort of a jerk...) I do like the update we get on the Brundys but... I don’t like the whole revenge attempted cheating thing. It seemed weird that they lacked communication COMPLETELY. It didn’t feel this extreme in the past books.

Such an innocent heroine

Really enjoyed the book and although a short story it had very well developed characters. Only negative was the speed at which the narrator read the story. He is excellent with accents and did a good job which would have been an excellent job had he just slooooooowed down

Another reason to GUSH about Author & Narrator

Yes, I absolutely adore author Sheri Cobb South. I love love love her writing style. There's humor, romance and great storytelling!
I am always ready to recommend this author and her star narrators to family and friends!

I can't seem to gush enough about this series. I love the characters I've come to know. Noah Michael Levine's performance does not disappoint. (I've decided my heart is big enough to be enamored with Ethan Brundy AND John Pickett. LOL)

This is such a fabulous series. Do NOT hesitate to pick up any of Sheri Cobb South's books. You'll NEVER REGRET it.

These stories are at the top of my list for listens again and again and again. (le sigh)
