So worth it

Any additional comments?
You know from the book title that you are probably dealing with mistaken identity. The best thing about this listen though, is that it was so much more. Even more amazing when you realize that not all of the masks could be seen. (That reveal at the end was priceless.)

Melanie Fraser is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators. She's definitely my favorite in this genre. The way she manages to capture the prim and proper attitude of the Regency era (for both male and female characters, mind you!) is a work of art.

This was a short listen but I'm glad it's a series. That means there's more to come.

Easy Listen

Charming Cinderella style romance novel.

I enjoyed the narration, especially Melanie Fraser's British accent.

An Enchanting Story!

Any additional comments?

The thought of love at first sight in this story was intriguing to me. I wondered how this couple would react when they saw each other the following day. Not only that, but how would they be able to express their fascination toward one another when an arranged marriage had been agreed upon, between the man she met at the ball and Isabelle's mistress. But that's not all. The ending was quite a surprise, something I didn't expect.

This was such a fun story to listen to. Melanie Fraser's voice brought a sense of reality to each character. I thoroughly enjoyed her narrating. The men had compelling voices and so did the women. She's an excellent narrator.

Lovely Story 💕

This book is such a lovely story! This is a short listen so it is perfect choice while commuting. This is a Cinderella style book with a twist. It's a light, sweet, fun story and a nice beginning to this Beyond Boundaries series.

Melanie Fraser was the perfect choice for narration. Her voice enhances the characters and makes the story come alive. 😊

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily provided this review. 😉

Regal and light..this book is fun!

Every once in a while, I really enjoy a historical listen. This novella by Nicole Zoltack slipped in between some of the more angsty, contemporary listens I have had and gave me a real feel good story. The Masquerade ball during the Christmas holiday led us to several characters. Isabelle, maid to Theodosia and Theodosia's betrothed Adrian. There are sparks flying everywhere at this ball, the problem resulting that it's not with the couples that are expected to be in love. With their upcoming nuptials during the holidays, Theodosia and Adrian are set in a quandry...marry as their arranged marriage suggests or go against their parents and marry whom they love. Lots of issues and secrets are released but you will have to read or listen to find out how this first book in the series ends. I loved results and way Nicole was able to capture the times.

Melanie Fraser narrates this book with her regal sounding voice. I love her when she reads historical romance, always giving the book the sound of importance, yet includes the passion and emotions of the characters. This book is a must listen!
