The Prince

By: Tiffany Reisz

Narrated by: Robin Rowan

Length: 12 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

Two worlds of wealth and passion call to Nora Sutherlin and, whichever one she chooses, it will be the hardest decision she will ever have to make. Unless someone makes it for her....

Wes Railey is the object of Nora's tamest yet most maddening fantasies, and the one man she can't forget. He's young. He's wonderful. He's also thoroughbred royalty and, reuniting with him in Kentucky, she's in his world now. But this infamous New York dominatrix is no simpering Southern belle, and Nora's dream of fitting into Wesley's world is perpetually at odds with the relentlessly seductive pull of Søren - her owner, her lover, the forever she cannot have. At least, not completely.

Meanwhile Nora's associate Kingsley Edge is only too happy to take her place at Søren's feet during her hiatus. Søren is the only man Kingsley has ever loved, and their dark, shared history has forged a bond that neither the years - nor Søren's love for Nora - can break. But a new threat from an old adversary is forcing Kingsley to confront the past, reminding him that he must keep his friends close, and his enemies closer.

cliffhanger

loved how she went between time and characters! masrerful! i can't wait for 4th book.

Marie-lorrey ??

my god the narrator had to say this name 1 million time in the book. Couldn't she do a Google search to learn to at least pronounce it right?? I'm annoyed. Hint: it's pronounced Marie-Lore, not to difficult.
Book great, characters are more and more attaching.
But I guess hiring a narrator that at least does a tiny bit of research to pronounce some repeated easy things like a name, would be less distracting.

A good series

All of the books in this series are enjoyable. More romance than erotica, the characters talk about sex a lot more than have it. But they are interesting and well-developed. Well worth the price or credit.

Brilliant read, terrible listen...

Would you listen to The Prince again? Why?

I would definitely read The Prince again but unless another narrator is found I wouldn't listen to it. Until Wesley's southern accent came about I was convinced my iPhone had Siri reading the book to me. Robin Rowan sounds like she has a computer generated voice and it's extremely irritating. I couldn't bring myself to finish the book. The tone is monotonous and everyone except Wesley has the same voice. She missed Kingsley's French accent and Soren's English accent. Half the time I couldn't tell who was talking to who. How on earth could Tiffany Reisz allow Robin to destroy her incredible book?!

What other book might you compare The Prince to and why?

It's difficult to compare this book to another. It seems you can either get an excellent plot or steamy sex scenes but never both. I've never seen a writer excel at both like Tiffany does. I guess you could compare her story telling skills to those of Diana Gabaldon's (although I think Diana is still superior) and the sex appeal to Sylvia Day.

What didn’t you like about Robin Rowan’s performance?

See above...I didn't like a single thing. I can't believe she's been in the business for 30 years.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I would have to say when Soren and Kingsley were cleaning the old cottage. I thought it was cute when Soren asked him to catch and release the wolf spiders instead of killing them.

Any additional comments?

Buy the hard copy of this book, don't bother with the audio format. Unless of course you like monotony, zero inflection and the bastardization of the French language.

Perfection!

This book is pure perfection! The story, the characters, the past, the present, EVERYTHING! I can't love Kingsley more! And Wes OMG he is amazing! Can I have them all please!

Good book; bad narration

Only downfall was the narrator. Sounded like Siri was reading it. Other than that, it was great.

Great story, but was SIRI reading it?

Would you try another book from Tiffany Reisz and/or Robin Rowan?

Wanting to try Tiffany Reisz for quite some time I bought this one first and went back for the rest! My advice is to listen to them in the correct order.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Prince?

The chapters going back to when Soren and Kingsley met in boarding school were most captivating. Reisz reveals their afflicted relationship with such attention to detail, leaving you wanting to know more

What didn’t you like about Robin Rowan’s performance?

Anyone with an iphone 4S or 5S will immediately assume they are listening to SIRI read the the story! Robin Rowan's voice is bland, wooden and completely void of emotion... just like SIRI!
And let's not get into her feeble attempt for Wesley's southern accent. I will say that she got slightly more animated toward the end. Several times I wanted to stop listening but I stuck it out because the story was written so well.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

In a heartbeat! But there's no way any film studio -- even HBO for that matter --would touch the book's controversial subject matter.

Any additional comments?

The rest of the audio books in this series have much better narrators.

The Prince / Kingsley or Wes you decide

This book we get a lot of backstory on Kingsley and Soren and how they meet but also on Soren and his wife. It really is interesting and it enthralled me I didn’t want to stop listening at any point.
To see the triangle and how each of these characters are intertwined with each other really puts things into perspective. At least it does for me.

Wes and Nora stuff well I don’t really know how to think about this. Yes, she has a soft spot for him but was it fair of her to do what she does knowing she is going to go back to Soren? And is it fair of Wes to expect Nora to change who she is? Shouldn’t you just love the person for who and what they are? Are they both at fault? I don’t know I can tell you the way this book ends will make you desperate for book 4. Thank goodness I will be starting that right away.

The narration for this book was ok. I liked that she sounded younger for the “growing up years with Kingsley and Soren” but I don’t know I am missing that French accent the first narrator did for Kingsley. Still good just not OMG GREAT.

Love This Series

I love this series. This story is terrific, though it has a HUGE cliffhanger at the end.

I'm not a huge fan of this narrator. She doesn't do a very good job at Soren's voice and he has a very large part in this book. The other voices are okay, but his really turned me off this narrator.

Still exceptional book.

Good story, not feeling the narrator

Any additional comments?

I did not like this narrator. I purposely bought the kindle version of the second book bc the reviews were so bad on that narrator, I should have listened in this one too. She sounded like Siri on my iPhone.
I enjoyed the story line, but she ruined the book for me.
