- "Huzzah! Suffragettes!"
- "Rosalyn Landor reading Courtney Milan is one of my very favorite things, and this book did not disappoint. If you like your heroes and heroines to be genuinely intelligent… then you are exactly the audience for this book (and this whole series). Ms. Milan crafts stories that boldly address social injustices without being preachy—on the contrary, her characters balance heartbreaking vulnerability, moral courage, and senses of humor in perfect proportion. Somehow, this book—which addresses themes of sexism, war, family discord, and torture—trips along on prose light as meringue and is often laugh-out-loud hilarious… Milan now sets the bar for historical romance, as far as I'm concerned, and this book was awesome." —Elkay, Audible Listener

- "Best Read of This Year So Far!"
- "I just love to read and I have been waiting to listen to the 2nd book in The Bridge Kingdom for what feels like a year. There is so much that I love about this storyline: warrior princesses, heroines versus just another book full of heroes, strong female characters, great narrators, a story of fighting for love and in some cases in this book fighting with love… I can hardly believe that it just came out and I heard it all in less than 24 hrs. Cause I just didn’t want to stop reading. YES 🙌🏽! It was that good! If you haven’t read Danielle L. Jensen’s books yet, they are a must read! The only disappointment about this book is that now that it is finished I will have to wait quite a while to read her next. Going to have to re-listen to both stories again!" —Anonymous User, Audible Listener

- Duración: 10 h y 8 m
- Fecha de lanzamiento: 02-11-20
- Idioma: Inglés
- "A 'strong woman' story with brilliant narration "
- "I can always depend on Rhys Bowen to create a well-knit tale. The setting for this one is the Victorian period, and there is a mix of real characters along with the fictional ones to lend it authenticity. Our heroine, Bella, is forced into the workforce as a young teenager and must make personal sacrifices in order to survive and support her family. She eventually rises above her hardships and takes risks to find her freedom and pursue her professional passion. Most appreciable are her honesty and her choices regarding the quest of her personal happiness. As for the narration, Gemma Dawson can do no wrong! She is probably my favorite female narrator of UK fiction, and seems to do the various British accents very well. Kudos!" —Sharon, Audible Listener

- "…The story is about Emily, who is the head of this up-and-coming country rock band. Which in and of itself is an amazing feat because it's a predominantly male-dominated industry, country music. But one night she decides to let loose a little bit. She goes to the bar by herself, does many, many shots of tequila. I can't even remember how many. And she has a one-night stand with this amazing, smoking-hot guy that she figures she'll never see again… Until she walks into a meeting with the record label and he's sitting in the room! And he's the man who basically is going to decide whether or not her band gets a recording contract or not. The music industry is not an industry that's familiar to me so I was learning a lot about what is it like being on tour, and it was interesting to see a lot of the behind the scenes. It's not as glamorous as we may perceive it to be…" —Margaret, Audible Editor

- "Fun story"
- "I love geek books, and this is a pretty good one. Adam, a 27 year old project manager, was burned in love, so he’s a little gun shy. However, that doesn’t stop him from stepping up to help his roommate when she needs him. Tessa, a 25 year old coder with serious social anxiety, wants to make that promotion in the male-dominated gamer world, and at the same time she will help her new friends. Friends Adam encouraged her to make. Getting out of her comfort zone is hard, but so very worth it. As for the narration, Serena St Clair was absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. Her voice for Tessa was a little deeper than normal, and forceful, in a good way. Tessa came across as knowing her own mind, confident of her abilities." —Coriesu, Audible Listener

- "…This is the first story in The Ladies of Harper Station series and I was completely and utterly captivated by it. It's an inspirational love story, set in the mid-19th century in Texas. Right from the start it's very feminist. Emma Chandler starts a successful women's colony which is Harper Station. It offers a safe-haven for women who have no family, have no other place to go, or want to escape some harmful or abusive situations. There's this guy named Malachi Shaw, who is a childhood friend of Emma. There's this little mystery where there's some attacks on the town, and Emma starts to get a little worried. So she goes back to her childhood friend, and asks if he can come teach the ladies how to shoot guns. It is inspirational so it's a little bit on the cleaner side, but there's a romance between Emma and Malachi and It's really sweet…" —Michael, Audible Listener

- "Excellent!"
- "I finally fell in love with the March sisters, and I will be forever grateful. I never read Little Women as a kid, just because the book seemed big and daunting to young me. I am kind of glad it took me until now to read it, because it's exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I am in my twenties and soon to graduate college. I have a lot of big life decisions quickly approaching, and I felt comforted hearing about the March sisters having to carve out their own life paths. Each sister imparts their own wisdom in some way. Meg teaches us how to enjoy the little things. Jo teaches us to nurture our passions. Beth teaches us how to love honestly and deeply. Amy teaches us about the beauty of change… I know Louisa May Alcott considered her own work ‘moral pap for the young,’ but I thought it was full of so many lessons that apply to people's lives today. The narration was fantastic too! Laura Dern and the rest of the cast performed the lovable characters with charm and bubbly energy." —Carly Brown, Audible Listener

- "Emotional, heart-warming and touching story!"
- "Corinne Michaels tortured us in the best way possible with If I Only Knew. This was a sexy, fun and emotional slow burn office romance that was a second chance at love and I loved every second of it! I cannot begin to tell you how my heart broke for Danielle. I cannot even begin to imagine being in her shoes, but her children were her first priority and for them, she needed to move forward. After losing her husband tragically, she was struggling as a parent and mom, let alone just being a woman. But she was so freaking strong, even when she did not see it… I want to tell you everything, but this is really a story that just needs to be experience. What I can tell you is this story was emotional and heartwarming. I loved every moment of this audiobook." —Liz Thompson, Audible Listener

Melody’s character is smart, driven, and loves to be herself. It really moves the story along for me when you like the people falling in love. This is not a ‘steamy’ novel, but more story driven.

- "…I listened to this last year and I'd say it was one of my favorite historical romances from the year. Sarah M. Eden has a lot of good historical romances but I like this one in particular because it's set in 1830s Victorian London. It's the story of Elizabeth Black, who is a headmistress of a girls' school and she writes what are called Silver Fork novels at the time. Very proper. But she secretly also writes Penny Dreadful novels, which are the scandalous ones, the stories about damsels in distress, and all of the shady things that people actually want to hear about. But only men write these novels. So she has to go under a pseudonym, named Charles King. She's got this like, double-duty thing going here. It was so fun to listen to…" —Melissa, Audible Editor

Jace is absolutely adorable and sweet and just what she needs to help her in her journey of self-awareness and growth. Her confusing feelings for her best friend are understandable and something I think a lot of girls sometimes battle when they have a male best friend. The only thing I wished for was an epilogue or an ending that stretched long enough to follow her through college and to what happens to her afterwards." —Truly, Audible Listener
