The Most Eligible Lord in London

I am always happy to be able yo read an Ella Quinn novel! She is able to ,seemingly effortlessly, make you fall in love with her characters! Lovely regency storyline with all of the social requirements of the day for "the Season" in Londoners efforts to find love and/or elevate their social & financial status. If you are able to purchase both the book and the audio book you will be able to experience Rachael Beresford render a wonderful narration. Great read with a HEA. 😊

A Lot

There were a lot of subplots in this novel, but it was still entertaining. I recommend it!

A gentle visit with a courting couple.

At first the Baron does not think of the Earl's daughter as a possible spouse. Maybe because she is merely a pretty girl and not an acclaimed beauty.
Maybe his courtship was hampered by the fact that he spent most of the last season raising the expectations of her best friend before skipping out on the girl with out a word.
Maybe because the young lady puts her friends feelings first and the girl is bitter.
So, now the dear Baron has to devote himself to the long hunt. He has to really work for his intended affections.
It is an amusing look at the efforts the pair goes through.

Horrific Narration

I loved the EQ Wentworth series, and was excited to start a new series by this author. This first book is okay, with very little chemistry between the h/h, but the story is interesting.
There are also several couples that get together, so it's a 3 for 1 romance. The details on the other 2 couples are limited. The story sets up the others in the series, as you become interested in the group of friends.
The horror is the narration. I forgot how awful this narrator reads a book. The male voices are especially terrible. There is no emotion and the dialogue is clipped and without any warmth or personality. In this book there is a requirement for a West Indian accent. I'm from the west indies and I have never heard anything like that in my life. It was painful to hear this narrator attempt the accent...that sounds a little like a cross between French and italian...but nothing remotely from the islands. This is somewhat insulting and should probably not even been attempted. She is an awful narrator, so doing an accent /or not could not help the performance.
I really want to listen to the rest of the books in the series, but not if they are read by this narrator. If you have heard her and don't have a problem, then this might be a book you can enjoy, but I could not. If you have not heard this narrator, then beware!!
This book is not worth the credit and I can't recommend it .
