One night of bad judgment and her life is changed forever.

    If you could sum up In the Garden of Disgrace in three words, what would they be?

    Redemption.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of In the Garden of Disgrace?

    I enjoyed the "storm scene"


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Tanya S. Bartlett?

    I don't know if I would listen to this narrator again--her cadence was off and I found her less than wonderful to listen to--

    A play manuscript written in Shakespeare's own hand! Between rogue rare-books dealer John Dryden and his prize is an obsessed librarian who wants to destroy it... and the heiress who can lead him to it, but only if he's willing to risk his life, his freedom, and his loner's heart.

    An intelligent and interesting story well told. The topic was unique-rare book collecting during the Regency period. Characters were well developed.

    Bookish Hero Fenster and heir to a duke Arthur Watterly share a common passion: the Legend of King Arthur. When the pursuit of the original manuscript of Malory's Le Morte d'Artur leads them to be trapped overnight in a bookshop attic, they find themselves unexpectedly married. They might be happy. If only they'd admit their biggest secret: they love each other even more than they love books.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I was so distracted by the narrator's voice that I couldn't finish it...


    Any additional comments?

    I have ordered the book to read...because i want to know how it ends! I hate to give a negative review to a narrator because I can imagine how difficult it is and the problem was not how she delivered the material but the narrator's voice (too high pitched for me..).

    Leah Elliot sells secrets to survive. Donning boy's clothes, she uncovers society scandals for a London gossip rag to support herself and her sister, who were left destitute after their father's death. When she meets the dashing - and perhaps dangerous - Hal Forster, the Marquess of Denby, she learns he may be involved in treason. The rumor is too valuable not to sell, despite her attraction to him.

    Where does Compromising the Marquess rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Pretty average...so/so listen.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    The narrator's voice was good for the female parts...not so much for the male. She mispronounced many words (not because of the differences between British and American English). These issues were distracting.

    We can't really say more without giving away a big, fat spoiler, but it turns out that: Colin is a bit of a meddler, Hyacinth is more of a meddler, and the only time all of the Bridgertons stop talking at once is when Penelope has something really embarrassing to say. Hey, we never said it was easy to marry a Bridgerton, just that it was fun.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    The story is a good epilogue...the narrator is not very enjoyable for me. I did not like how he does female voices. His voice is fine...just not for this...


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Colin! Who can resist a rogue!


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kevan Brighting?

    Simon Peebles


    Could you see Romancing Mister Bridgerton being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    Would love to see it...no ideas for casting.


    Any additional comments?

    More Bridgertons!

    Sophia White knows she will never marry into polite society. The illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, she works at the Tantalus Club, a discreet establishment for gentlemen - and her only suitor is a pastor who wants to save her soul. So when Sophia is invited to spend the holidays at the estate of Adam Baswich, the devilishly handsome Duke of Greaves, she is delighted - and determined to enjoy her last nights of freedom before surrendering her hand.

    What made the experience of listening to Rules to Catch a Devilish Duke the most enjoyable?

    I am a fan of Suzanne Enoch and have enjoyed the two previous books very much. Anne Flosnik is one of my favorite narrators and the combination lived up to all of my expectations. Highly recommended.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Rules to Catch a Devilish Duke?

    The changes that the Duke of Greaves goes through in becoming a better human being and settling old issues by taking responsibility for his errors--not a thing he believes a Duke should do!


    Which character – as performed by Anne Flosnik – was your favorite?

    The Duke of Greaves---though all characters were very well done...as usual.
