Where the Stars Meet the Sea

By: Heidi Kimball

Narrated by: Louise McCance-Price

Juliet Graham fervently counts the days until her 21st birthday, when she can claim the inheritance that will grant her the freedom she has always craved and the guardianship of her younger brother. Until then, she is trapped under her aunt Agnes’s domineering will.

When forced to accompany the family to a house party at Shaldorn Castle, Juliet’s only objective is to keep to herself. That is, until a chance encounter with a boorish stranger stirs up an unexpected whirlwind of emotions in her. Thrown off-balance, Juliet does the unthinkable: loses her temper and insults the man - who turns out to be her unwilling host, the Duke of Halstead. Fully expecting to be sent away, Juliet is surprised when the brusque and callous duke instead takes an interest in her.

Drawn to the duke in unguarded moments, Juliet finds herself more and more intrigued by the man who shuns Society’s rules as completely as she does, and over the next few weeks, their unlikely friendship deepens into a connection neither expected.

But even as Juliet comes to recognize her true feelings, her scheming aunt issues an ultimatum that threatens the future she was just beginning to hope for. Juliet must choose: either break the promise she made to herself years ago, or lose the man who has captured her heart and soul.

Good book, needs a better narrator

I almost gave up on this book because of the narration. I’m glad I didn’t because the story was good overall. While this narrator is a lot better than the other two Covenant uses, the need to do every laugh was not needed and the burping! Yes, there was burping. SO not necessary! Audio books are meant to be read (with feeling and voices), not acted out.

Narrator is annoying

Whomever chooses the narrator for these books, please, please do not use Louise again. I’m sorry, but the laughing and sighs are incredibly annoying and the voice is not pleasing for listening. The actual story is very good, but the narrator ruins it.

Loved the story!

Great story but I wish I had read it instead. The performer was a bit obnoxious.

Good story, horrible story teller

I am enjoying the story, however the voice of the woman doing the audio is barely tolerable. At one point she starts singing and it made me rip off my earbuds in disgust. I know the voice she’s using is supposed to match the regency period of the story, but it’s not great.

Good story but terrible reader

PLEASE re do this book with a different reader! The story was interesting but hearing it like this was excruciating.
