Okay story 3.5 stars. Good Narration

This was a decent story. Not the best but interesting enough. I did like the Hero and Heroine. They had good chemistry. There was not enough dialogue for me, there was dialogue just not enough for my taste. The story line and plot could have been better. There was sex, mildly written but it was nice.

I will probably read the next book just because I want to hear about the rest of the girls in the Rarest Bloom house. I also want to know if Sebastian's brother recovers.

I felt like the description of this book was a bit misleading. The hero was not bent on destroying her father's name all that much. He was trying to find out the truth.

As for the narration it was very good. I do believe that Polly Lee is AKA Ashford MacNab. She does the men's voices well and everyone has their own distinct voice and she does put some emotion in her reading. This is an older book, narrated in 2010 so her narrations have gotten even better.

Just Delightful!!

Wonderfully developed characters - couldn't put it down....... It is so nice reading about people you like and are wishing for the best. Thank you.......

Disappointed with the narrator

I enjoyed the book, however the narrator did not seem to get into the book. Her voice was flat and unexciting. This was a big disappointment to me.

Enjoyed the series. Performance off

Would you consider the audio edition of Ravishing in Red to be better than the print version?

Usually audio is better than print. I'm not finding this to be the case with this series. The narrator is not really able to create different voices for different characters and the men don't sound that different than the women. The exception is the hero's friend who will star in book two. Horrible voice for an upcoming hero, so naturally in book 2 she has to change it. Sometimes I wasn't sure who was talking or thinking. I'm reviewing the performance in comparison to other authors/narrators. On its own this a four star romance novel as is the entire series and I'm planning to buy and listen to the rest.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

All romance novels have predictable endings.

What aspect of Polly Lee’s performance would you have changed?

Better voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I find most such books hard to shut off but no, I wasn't compelled to listen in one sitting. Actually I listen while walking or cooking or doing chores. I could put it down and read for a while.

Great characters, entertaining story

Madeline Hunter is a talented author. Her stories pull the listener in from the beginning and keeps us there. She tells a good tale and creates interesting characters. In this book, the story is compelling and the characters are well-developed. Unfortunately the narrator just could not bring the characters and the story to life.
