Her Grace's Passion

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Charlotte Anne Dore

Matilda, Duchess of Hadshire, is virtually a prisoner of her cruel husband, who romances his mistress right under the duchess' nose. Her only joy is dreaming of the handsome Earl of Torridon - for like her, he is trapped in a horrid marriage and longs to find true love and happiness.

Though she secretly wishes for the death of her unkind husband, Matilda never could have imagined the guilt that plagues her when the illustrious duke is befittingly murdered by his own mistress! When Matilda turns to Torridon for comfort, she discovers a few surprises are in store for both of them.

not a recommendation

I found the story line to be drawn out. the reader was very meticulous with her words and sounded like she was reading rather than telling a story. was very hard to get into the story due to the fluency. the change in voice for the characters did not help but rather hindered my ability to the storyline. the Earl was made to sound more like a controlling stalker rather than a man smitten with the Duchess. I do not find an interest in reading the rest of the series because of how poorly this book was written and executed. sorry but I did not find this book worth the time it took to hear.

Not Understanding the Negative

…reviews. I enjoyed this too short book. It kept my attention all the way through. Narration was good and the story plausible. I recommend this story

The narration is terrible 

The narrator has no grasp of how to actually narrate. It completely distracted from the story. Would’ve been a good story otherwise.



Horrific Naration!

Narrator was SO AWFUL that I couldn't wait for the book to end! I will NEVER listen to another book that is narrated by her. The male lead was made to sound angry & hostile in Every Scene, and the female lead always sounded as if she were highly medicated & monotone. Truly Awful for my ears. Sadly, I couldn't say if I enjoyed the story line or not - couldn't enjoy anything about it because of the narration!

Good, a bit long but funny

It was a cute story, unique and clean but it dragged in parts... still 2 romances in one.
Narration detracted from the story greatly. The male voices were offputting.
