Slow and Sensual

Lovely, well written emotional mystery/drama with sensual detail without being pornography. The regency period written the right way. The narrator is excellent. Vocal characterizations with distinctive expertize.

Smooth and Entertaining

This novel was just that novel and suprising. It kept you listening through the whole story not able to anticipate the changes in teh plot (which I generally do with ease). I loved it.

BORRRRRING!

Ms. Laurens just needed to get on with the story between Penelope and Charles. There was way too much of self thought and introspection. It drug on and on and on. Of course Jill Tanner isn't the best narrator either and perhaps this book would have been better had a different narrator read the story. I can't really recommend this book. I just thought it would never end.

this is no Cynster~!

besides a drawn out plot - Jill Tanner is no Simon Prebble!!! she stinks at this at best! her prose like narration would suit Shakespeare read to dead people - stay away!!!!! the only reason I continued listening was I am a huge Cynster fan - this is not even close! had Simon Prebble read, I probably would not have had to rewind so many times - the mono tone was so bad I think I listened to this at least 3 times to get to the end! could have been good but 2 things - drawn out - lost its zing, and although well written, as she is a gifted author, Tanner was like putting a ball on chain on a fish and asking it ti swim!
what a shame - I was excited to start a new series but if Tanner is reading - I am not!

It was alright

I love Stephanie Laurens and her Bastion Club novels but this one just dragged on i thought. did not hold my interest at times i just turned it off and came back to it later. no real "romance" and to me the plot was so-so. just not my cup of tea on this one

Lovers and murder and diplomats, oh my

bastion-club, reread, traitor, treason, murder, historical-romance, england

A Bastion Club novel, and all of them are good and each is different.
Another romance novel, one where a misunderstanding years ago left each of them mistrusting the other (separated for many years until after Waterloo), but this one does have a real plot to keep you interested long after the gratuitous erotica has you yawning.
Aside from the romance aspect, there are murders, traitorous activites found out, help from fellow ex spies, and a lot of speculation and action throughout. No spoilers. Just enjoy it.
Jill Tanner does a pretty good job with this one.

These Bastion Club novels are all the same...

Any additional comments?

All Bastion Club novels were written using the same template... Once you listened to one of them, you listened to all. Too much sex, for my taste. All the men are tall, dark and handsome; all the heroines are so not into marriage... Yes, I do listen to romance novels to escape, but these are so unbelievable and unconvincing... Jill Tanner is a wonderful narrator and I love her voice, but even she cannot save this pseudo-literature.

all good, except the pronunciation of...

Grimaced. Say that to yourself. Then turn the 'a' into a hard a. ugh. With all the grim'a'cing in the story, it interrupts the flow and becomes increasingly disturbing. Not enough to lower my estimation of the story, but enough to have me writing this review.

Is that how the British pronounce the word? ugh

British pronunciation tiresome

What small portion of the book is devoted to action and plot is interesting but all the bedroom scenes put me to sleep. And this author used the word "grimace" way too often. Add to that the readers pronounce it as 'grim aces' - sounds like a bad poker hand. If you are looking for an easy listen to lull you to an easy nap this is the story for you.

Better than Excellent!

Great story, loved every bit of it. The sex scenes could have been less especially after their first reunion encounter. But otherwise it was very well written . Didn’t like the male voices but that’s difficult with just a female narrator. Thank you for the great entertainment!
