Unlocked

By: Courtney Milan

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

From New York Times best-selling author Courtney Milan....

A perpetual wallflower destined for spinsterhood, Lady Elaine Warren is resigned to her position in society. So when Evan Carlton, the powerful, popular Earl of Westfeld, singles her out upon his return to England, she knows what it means. Her former tormenter is up to his old tricks, and she's his intended victim. This time, though, the earl is going to discover that wallflowers can fight back.

Evan has come to regret his cruel, callow past. At first, he only wants to make up for past wrongs. But when Elaine throws his initial apology in his face, he finds himself wanting more. And this time, what torments him might be love....

Pleasantly Surprised

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

Yes. I wanted this book to be longer. I was pleasantly surprised by this short story!

Loved it

A wonderful story of guilt and forgiveness. Both characters carried hurt but Evan was deeply guilty over his past behavior. A bully is hard to forgive and that type of cruelty is very scarring. Kudos to Ms. Milan for her unique stories and this one in particular. It is definitely a keeper!

I love Simon Prebble's narration, so it is a win win for me.

Narrator makes A Great Difference

What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?

You could really tell difference in character voices, depth of emotion through voice, correct accent

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Scene with her mother

Any additional comments?

Great book, narrator makes A Great Difference!!! I also bought A Governess Affair, loved the print book. Courtney Milan is great, but could not stand narration.. So returned that one. But Simon Prebble makes a difference.

This book is a keeper..!

What did you love best about Unlocked?

Narrator brings the story to life..

Any additional comments?

Very memorable plot line, it brings back memories and sometimes I do wonder what if..?

Just as good the 2nd time!

This was my 2nd listen and still I enjoyed it!
I felt this story.... got to know and understand the characters... and I found that even if this was a light historical romance it also had depths that we understand better today... even have new terms for it.... but there are lessons to be learned here and we really should learn them.
That said, this was a very enjoyable HEA romance!

NARRATOR : Who doesn't like Simon Pebble? His male hero always has a yummy sexy voice... his delivery is flawless!! Occasionally a female will sound like a bad comedic impersonation. .. but it's uncommon and after the initial shock you tend to forget about it.

CREDITWORTHY? : I would say yes, altho I think I may have bought it on sale for less then a credit costs..... I can't recall.

HEAT FACTOR: Occasion correct and reaching a steady quick full steam.
