Midsummer Moon

By: Laura Kinsale

Narrated by: Nicholas Boulton

When a powerful, decisive aristocrat undertakes to protect an absent-minded young inventress from England's enemies, he finds his orderly world turned into chaos. Merlin Lambourne's stubborn dream of flight puts her at risk, not to mention driving Ransom crazy. In spite of himself, he's oddly enchanted by this muddled miss and her eccentric ways... but can he overcome his own fears and realize her invention may be the answer to saving both their lives?

A whimsical Regency-era tale of flying machines, fancy, and love among the hedgehogs.

Laura Kinsale personally chose the exceptional talent of Nicholas Boulton to narrate Midsummer Moon as a fully voiced audiobook, creating a unique work that brings all the life and color of the original to audio.

“…personalities and wit expertly delivered, further adding to the charm of this delightful performance.” ( Audiofile Magazine)

I loved this story. And I not usually a fan of romance

Richly plotted romance with appealing characters. A fun read.
Richly plotted romance with appealing characters

Totally entertaining!

The title really doesn’t do it justice—I laughed so hard tears were rolling down my face! I always loved this author, but wasn’t prepared for the fine tuned humor and totally unique plot and characters. Merlin is the ultimate female absent minded professor—delightful!!!!! I was enthralled and entertained from start to finish and didn’t want it to end. Of course the narrator is my all time favorite male narrator and I could listen to his well modulated baritone all day. Bravo!!!

Mediocre compared to some of her others.

Flowers from the Storm and The Prince of Midnight turned me on to Kinsale and Boulton and I will still listen to her work but this story, for me, did not come close to those above.

Cute & Odd & Delightful

Kinsale is a WONDERFUL writer. Her books seem to be just a bit better written than most.(not to take away from any other writers) Her romances are DEEP and usually way off from the norm. This is one of those books. So not what you expect. But you'll find yourself wrapped up in a story with many players - not just a H&H. This is a book about ALL relationships.

Try not to take too many reviews to heart - listen for yourself. If you like Kinsale - you will like and appreciate this one. The love scenes are pretty hot, but it is NOT about that at all. If you want a simple to listen to - run of the mill romance - this is NOT it. If you want a really well written story of life and love and relationships - this is a good one.

Worth a credit if you have already listened and like Kinsale. I would NOT use this as my first Kinsale book though. Try another first because this is good - but not as good as some of her other books. IMO

Excellent performance!

While I didn't love the book, Nicholas Boulton is most certainly worth a listen. Simply outstanding. I look forward to listening to anything else he might record.
