Typical Romance Story with Slight Twist

Would you consider the audio edition of The Raven Prince to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version so I can't really say.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Anna because she wasn't your typical romance heroin. Normally they are unmarried and virgin, but not Anna. I liked that she already had some experience to bring to the story.

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

I really enjoyed her reading because she read the words as I would have with the right pauses and hesitations. Her reading of the intimate moments wasn't cheesy.

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

No.

Heartwarming nice saucy story

Any additional comments?

If I want to be swept away, I read Elizabeth Hoyt! This story takes place in the country and it has a country-pace. A slow NOT action packed story. But the romance is heartwarming and the intimacy is hot and sexy. Characters are believable. Not a lot goes wrong, not much drama. it's a nice airy listen

Romance at its Hottest!

What happens when you combine the story of a bad tempered earl, who cares nothing for what others think about him, loves agriculture and doesn’t mind getting dirty, with a beautiful young widow whose philandering late husband caused her to distrust any man who claims any warm feelings towards her in any way? Well… throw in a meddling mother-in law, a pair of courtesans, the late husband’s mistress a few blackmailers and you have The Raven Prince. Anna Wren may seem docile on the outside but to the Earl of Swartingham she is the perfect secretary. Efficient, direct, and with a mouth he cannot stop dreaming about. The Earl may be a brut but Anna who has been without a man’s touch for seven years (and her husband has been deceased for six) longs to be with him and when the opportunity arrives she grabs on with both hands in order to embark on the ride of her life with the earl in tow, even if he doesn’t know it is her he is making love to. And let me tell you dear listener he does it well indeed. The intense chemistry between Edward and Anna will have you staring into space with your mouth agape and will require that you give your head a brisk shake to bring your mind back to the reality of your own life. In addition, Hoyt also treats you to another enchanting fairy tale throughout the listen. Definitely worth the time and the credit.
