Loved it

I loved this book. the narrator was great. the story was intriguing and interesting. definitely a good read.

Painfully slow paced...

I really wasn't impressed by this audiobook. It was just soooo slow. Just to give you an idea the whole story takes place in a 24 hour timeframe and this book is over 10 hours long. The first 5 hours of the story is just Georgette and James looking for each other after a night of drunken madness. Somehow by the magic of storytelling they manage to marry and fall in love within just one day. I really have issues with a story where I Love yous are exchanged within 24 hours. It's just not believable. At least the narrator was very good and I really liked her Scottish accent.

Too time to get "into" the book

I usually don't continue to listen to a book if I am not "hooked" within the first hour or two of the book. BUT I am glad I continued to listen on in this case. I enjoyed the book despite the slow start. If you can get past the slower intro, this book does pick up pace and of course has a HEA.

A good listen.

This was a good read/listen. It was fun. I do wish there had been more dialogue in the book. There was not enough of that. The hero and heroine were both strong characters. The heroine was not whiny or wimpy, she was very likable. Loved the maid Elise, she was funny. There was no hot and steamy sex to speak of until the very end and it was not extreme but that was okay.

The narrator did a decent job, however, she could have made the men's voices sound a little more like men. If she does that in the future she will be a great narrator. Her reading voice was excellent.

Perfect romantic performance

This is one of my favorite romances I've listened to. The story was fun, both characters were strong (I'm not a fan of romances with helpless virginal females and rich men who think no means yes), and the reader had a nice and expressive voice. Although some things in the plot were slightly implausible, the plot moved quickly and stayed interesting. The sex scenes were racy but not too graphic, and they actually made sense with the story. I look forward to more books by this author/reader combo!
