    Northumberland, 1815: At long last, Britain is at peace, and General Jack Armstrong is coming home to the wife he barely knows. Wed for mutual convenience, their union unconsummated, the couple has exchanged only cold, dutiful letters. With no more wars to fight, Jack is ready to attempt a peace treaty of his own. Elizabeth Armstrong is on the warpath. She never expected fidelity from the husband she knew for only a week, but his scandalous exploits have made her the object of pity for years.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    It is difficult to imagine soldiers in battle or heated love scenes or anything else when all of the characters sound like a 12 year old girl.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Susanna Fraser? Why or why not?

    If it was narrated by someone else.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Camme Tyla’s performances?

    Absolutely not.


    Did An Infamous Marriage inspire you to do anything?

    No

    Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her "touched." Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn't speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty -unprepared for the delights to come.

    The couple learned a lot about each other, as they should in time.


    What does Kirsten Potter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past - secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm's length. Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom. Miranda Darling isn't in trouble - yet. But she's close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction.

    Would you try another book from Courtney Milan and/or Nicole Quinn?

    I would try another book from Courtney Milan as long as it was not narrated by Quinn


    What other book might you compare Unraveled to and why?

    Not sure there is a comparison.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Nicole Quinn’s performances?

    Definitely not, slow to the point of being boring




    Was Unraveled worth the listening time?

    The book yes but hampered by the narrator.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Marriage List to be better than the print version?

    I prefer the audio edition because a story set in historical England should be in the language to get the effect.

    None that I can think of.


    What three words best describe Janean Jorgensen’s performance?

    a good touch

    Audrianna Kelmsleigh is unattached, independent-and armed. Her adversary is Lord Sebastian Sommerhays. What they have in common is Audrianna's father, who died in a scandalous conspiracy-a deserved death in Sebastian's eyes. Audrianna vows to clear her father's name, never expecting to fall in love with the man devoted to destroying it.

    I enjoyed the book, however the narrator did not seem to get into the book. Her voice was flat and unexciting. This was a big disappointment to me.
