Not the best by Eloisa James

While Eloisa James is one of my fevorite authors, this book was rather predictable. The narrator does food male lead voices, but the main female lead was too high-pitched and shrill. It made her sound silly and hurt my ears.

the humour and excellent interpretation of Mary Jane Wells

I liked the immediate action gripping my interest from the very beginning.The storyline progressed at a perfect pace and the characters were wonderfully portrayed by the narrator.
