Unraveled

By: Courtney Milan

Narrated by: Nicole Quinn

Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins

Publisher's summary

Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past - secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm's length. Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom.

Miranda Darling isn't in trouble - yet. But she's close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction. And yet no matter how forbidding the man seems on the outside, she can't bring herself to leave. Instead, when he tries to push her away, she pushes right back - straight through his famous self-control, and into the heart of the passion that he has long hidden away.

nope nope nope

Less than 10 minutes in abd couldn't listen anymore. I love this series and yet can't even because of the horrible narrator.

Terrible narrator

The narrator for this book is terrible. She sounds like a computer and the voices are all very similar. I like this book and the whole series is great and very amusing but don't spend the credit on this one. Buy the Kindle version instead!

The narrator is terrible

The narrator is terrible and so is the production quality.

The sound levels change from high pitched to very low at almost radom intervals so you cannot even keep a consistent volume.

The narrator's character voices are cringeworthy and irritating, and as narrator she sounds quite old (which is an odd choice for the relatively young characters of a romance). In short, the narration is VERY BAD.

I love Courtney Milan novels and really wanted the last of the Turner Brother Trilogy. The trilogy has been wonderful. The narrator of this one, however, is terrible.

Read the book instead.

mispronunciations ruined story

i do wish the readings were edited. The word 'gaol' is pronounced like 'jail' and means the same. the word appears many times in the text. Each time the narrator said 'gowl' or 'gowler' I wanted to howl.

Lovely little story,

Found it hard to listen to because the reader sounded as if she had been smoking 10 packs of cigarettes.
Other than that the story was lovely.

Another great Courtney Milan HR but...

The narration was a challenge for several of the voices. it was a combo of grating and like Marge's sisters on the Simpsons. But... I kept plowing thru because I love a strong heroine and the hero tugged at my heart. There is a lot going on in this one. Worth a listen....

Best Story in Series

Yes the narrator sounded like she should've been Gollum from The Lord of the Rings but the story itself was so engrossing that the poor narration can be overcome. At least she read the main characters with feeling. This story was by far my favorite in the series. Smite is so damaged that you can hardly fathom how Miranda will get through to him. Watching their story unfold was very emotional. If you like damaged and tortured heroes then this one's for you.

Best of a stellar series

This is a title I have listened to several times. It is excellent. The narrator has an unusual voice, and I find I get accustomed to it rather quickly. The heroine and hero are nuanced and fine, I would describe other voices as Dickensian. The authors story line includes difficult, poignant situations with complex and strong characters. This is a book/audio I treasure.

Terribly disappointed. Bad Narration, Bad Book.

2.5 Stars!

Just a disappointing audiobook. The story was not good, and the narration was plain awful for an historical romance.

I heard so much buzz about Courtney Milan, so I was excited to finally get the full trilogy on audio. The series is about a trio of brothers who shared a terrible childhood growing up with an insane, bible-crazed mother. Beyond devout, the mother gave away every single thing they had to the poor and even tried to drown one of them. Each brother has a different story, a different quirk and a full bible verse for their name.

While the trilogy starts with great promise, the last two books seemed written by a different author. And Nicole Quinn's interpretation and narration of this final story definitely affected my opinion for the worse, though the book itself was a let down. I can't say I will be listening to anymore Courtney Milan. And... I am certain I will AVOID THE NARRATOR! Though gifted in voices, Nicole Quinn should save the weird voices for a science-fiction or fantasy-style book, never Historical Romance!

I recommend the first audiobook in this trilogy, UNVEILED. It was really a well-written, unique, and sensual story.
The next book, UNCLAIMED was strange and ridiculous. I thought it was one of the biggest let-downs in a series. But at least the narrator was good. While this last book is slightly better than the 2nd, the narration is so poor that I recommend reading this verses listening to this one in audio.

(I've not read the added short story)

excellent story. poor narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The third installment was wonderful, however, the narration was terrible. I had to stop listening to it and read it instead. I will not purchase anything from this narrator again. A shame.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nicole Quinn?

the narrator of Unveiled or Rosiland Lander
