Sweet Slow Burn Regency Romance

This is a sweet slow burn Regency Romance. Kitty and Jack are opposites attract, and they are perfect together. The characters are well developed, and interesting. Kitty is beautiful, smart, and strong. Jack is handsome, and enigmatic. The storyline is filled with drama, gossip, and scandal. June deBorahae did an excellent job bringing this story to life. She has a beautiful voice. #PFPAudio

Slowest of Burns for a Lady and a Major

I have listen to two other books by this author and did enjoy them a good deal. However, this one was the slowest of slow and not in an overly endearing way. It had wonderful characters overall and a good set-up: a girl going to live with her expecting younger sister, taking up in the home of her husband, a Duke. But… this Duke was first engaged to Kitty, our lady fair! To live in the house of your ex-fiancé and see your little sister pregnant with his child because they eloped… phew! The town was all a Twitter I imagine!

And the Duke cannot even stand up to his cruel mother. He’d rather be writing poetry.

Then we have his cousin Jack, a major returning from combat due to a bad leg injury. He is the only one who can get through to the grumpy head of the house. Resting and trying to find jobs for three of his goofy soldiers, he goes to his old cottage to discover Miss Kitty in the gardens.

Again, the frame work is here, but then we get into a lot of politics, a hidden plot twist toward the end that I feel didn’t serve the purpose it should of being added so late, and a rushed ending. And if you want spice, it’s not here. The couple are charming, but there’s barely even stream.

The betrayer though did a brilliant job as usual! I’m glad the author uses her for all the books I’ve listened to so far.

Love this Regency Romance! ❤️

Victoria Hinshaw is a new author to me, and I really enjoyed this story about Kitty, who was scandalized by society because her younger sister eloped the Duke that she was courting.  Kitty and her mother wind up staying with her younger sister, Beatrice and her now husband the Duke while Beatrice is expecting.  Kitty is very outspoken, proper, independent and strong and a character in this story that I loved.  The Duke’s cousin Jack comes to stay with the Duke after he is injured at war and he and Kitty really hit it off.  I loved the part of the story of how Jack and Kitty got to know each other and spent time together and enjoyed each other’s company.  I wish they had more time together and their romance came a little earlier than it did.  June deBorahae is an excellent narrator and this was the first book I heard her narrate.  She was fantastic at both the male and female voices and she made listening to this book amazing!

Great Listen!

This is the second book I've read/listened to by Victoria Hinshaw. She writes well with a great storyline and easy to like characters. Regency isn't a normal trope I read/listen to so I can't comment on the authenticity of the time period. But I love that I'm transported into a time that fascinates me. Or is that frustrates? All the rules of society, gah. I couldn't help wanting to see Jack and Kitty together. It came together a bit quick at the end, but I still enjoyed it.

June deBorahae is an excellent narrator. The audiobook rolled like a movie in my head, both male and female voices being well performed. This was perfection.
