"Not For ME."
Struggled to finish. Skipped the rest. Wearisome and didn't like the gravelly voiced narrator at all.
"Highly recommend"
Anything written by Sylvia Day and read by Justine Eyre, is a win. This is no exception.
"Not Great!"
The story lacked depth. Also, I found myself re-listening to parts because I thought I had missed details when in fact they were never there to begin with.
"Disappointing!"
Ahhh...where to begin. I had never read a novel by Sylvia Day until I came upon the crossfire series. It was then that I fell in love with a new author. Since the 5th book in this series has yet to be released, I thought I'd try another Sylvia Day novel. I really struggled to finish this book. It didn't actually get interesting until chapter 26 and there were only 33 chapters! The narrator was wonderful, but it was a dreadfully boring story. Please don't waste your time or money. I am thankful this wasn't the first novel I read by Sylvia Day because it would have been my last.
"Book was just okay"
I was really not impressed with the book..maybe it was the narrator? I didn't like her accent and it was a little weird..I bought the whole series but never made it passed the first book...
"Set in an earlier time"
I was surprised that this was a story written and set in the 17-18th century or so. I was not sure I could enjoy the type of verbiage that this period would encore, but after hanging in there, I was surprisingly drawn to keep listening. Later-I could not stop listening. Scenes of lovemaking were potent but not vulgar. Well written! Awesome story !
"Glad I finished!"
I like to read along while listening to the audio performance and most the time it is thoroughly enjoyable. This time however I was forced to abandon the audio and finish the book without it. I loved the story... a fast paced historical romance filled with daring do and erotic passion. The audio performance unfortunately was not. Ignoring the pace and nearly all of the emotion contained in the book the narrator read everything in a slow paced ... long... breathy...whisper... By the time I quit listening I was nearly bored out of my mind and considered not finishing at all.
For those who have been advised by their doctors to avoid all excitement... you may listen to this without fear. For everyone else; I recommend reading the book yourself or listening as your partner reads it to you. I guarantee you won't be bored!
"Excellent"
I like everything especially the hot romance
I recommend this to my friends
Sylvia day and Justine eyre make a great pair that why I gave it 5 star rating
"give it a little"
at the beginning this book was very boring and I was about to write to audible to see if I could get my credit back but then I waited and im so gald I did! really cute story! like I said... just give it a little and the story gets juicy!
"Mellow but still worth it"
If you've read CF or FSOG this is a little lighter. I gave it a 4 overall because at one sprint Elizabeth just starts to grate on my nerves. Great narration. Would have preferred the whole book to be through Marcus' perspective.
