Wicked Widow

By: Amanda Quick

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

With over 25 million books in print, best-selling author Amanda Quick is a favorite of readers who relish historical romances. In her works, including Mistress, Mischief, and Affair, Amanda Quick offers delicious romantic thrillers set in the opulent world of Regency-era London.

The widow Madeline Deveridge is both admired and feared by high society. Devastatingly beautiful, she is rumored to have killed her wealthy husband. Artemis Hunt is a handsome gentleman who is also a master of secret arts. His concentration on his own affairs is shattered, however, when Madeline demands his help one fog-shrouded night. Brought together by a mutual bargain - and a ghost - their bond sparks an attraction that will be far more dangerous than either suspects. Noted for her spirited performances of Amanda Quick’s novels, narrator Barbara Rosenblat captures each nuance of the two heroes’ intelligence and passion.

Love the author, but the narrator…

Love the story, liked the author in every book she wrote, but the narrator won’t QUIT AUDIBLY SWALLOWING AND SMACKING while reading. Mama didn’t raise no quitter, but for those of us with Misophonia, don’t even try it. Seriously. Read it. Save yourself.

Loved it

I have read many Amanda Quick books and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. Barbara Rosenblatt's reading wS excellent.

Not Quick’s Best

I really like the premise of the story but the development of the characters and their relationship was flat.
The reading was so hard to listen to as the narrator consistently was swallowing and making odd noises while reading. I feel like a lot of it could have been eliminated with better sound editing especially the long gaps between chapters. But swallowing and smacking should have been redone.

not as good as usual for Ms. Quick

Is there anything you would change about this book?

uncharacteristically of an Amanda Quick book, this rather dragged. Madeline/the heroine was a worrywart and a drip.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the hero, but the heroine and her ghosts and dead husband did not really do it for me.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

The characters

I really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow, but turned into a great read. I really enjoy listening to Barbara Rosenblat.
