Critic reviews

"Laurens's twist on the bride-switch, arranged marriage formula is fun, spicy and sure to please." ( Publishers Weekly)

l'amore, la famiglia e la compassione

Love, Family and Compassion. Not a simple romance but much much more! Chillworth will become warmed to his soul!

Stephanie is great and I love Simon!

Stephanie as always is entertaining and Simon’s voice is the best. Just what you are looking for in a racy historical romance.

SL&SPlover

I love the story and the narration. These two people should have been together on all of her books. Prebble has a way with bringing a story to life. Ms. Lauren's writes lovable and fantastic stories you feel the urge to read over and over keeping you interested in what and who is next!

Good read

Love the main characters, Gyles and Francesca. The attraction between them is immediate and hot. Gyles struggled not to love his wife but fails miserably. How they come together is a solid story. I enjoyed it very much.

Enjoyed it very much

This is the first historical romance I have listened to as it is not usually my favorite genre. However, this book was such a tender, sweet and erotic story I am very glad I took a chance. The story was cute and fun. The narrator was so good, his voice characters were really well done and added so much to the story. I am looking forward to more tittles by this author especially if they are narrated by Simon Prebble.

What did you love best about All About Passion?

All About Passion is a wonderful fun loving story. Its fun to kknow the twist to the story and watch the characters come to understanding in their humorous, often erotic, way. I adore Stephanie Laurens with Simon Prebble and this one doesn't disappoint.

What other book might you compare All About Passion to and why?

Its a twist on the Cynster series that is remarkably fun. I never can find the perfect book to compare one to since each book has a personality and life of its own... isn't that the whole idea? This is a Stephanie Laurens book that delivers in the way they all do. I reallllly enjoyed this one and its twist was a little more unique to me.

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

Simon Prebble IS the voice and characters of the Cynster books. He makes the story ring of authenticity to each person, situation. ... all. This is one series that needs to be listened to... words on a page without Simon Prebble would not be the same!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I definitely could have.... definitely!

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book!!

Bar Cynster's toughest case

I liked the story and the performance of Simon Prebble does well with the material.

Outstanding Narration

Simon Prebble's narration raises the passion and mystery of all Ms Lauren's book to the highest level of entertainment. His subtle changes of tone and volume make each character recognizable and understandable. I search out his narrations.

Another great listen by a great author.

I can't understand why this story got so many negative reviews. I found it wonderful. The plot was very good. I loved the H/h. They kinda fell in love at first glance though they fought against it tooth and nail. I loved the sexy times they had. If you don't like sexual descriptions, try other authors who write wonderful clean and sweet stories. Like one of the reviewers said. Do not compare one book to the other. Every story is different - as it should be. Simon Prebble once again was perfection. Five stars and highly recommended.

My second favorite!

Nothing compares to the first but this was excellent. If I had one complaint, really not a complaint just a suggestion, there’s too many love scenes. They become tiresome after a while. The suggestion of romance leading up to their encounters would be just as alluring.. outside of the first few love scenes.
