Ok

Story line was ok. I admit that y was a little airport at the ending.

good story, awesome narration

The story is good.. not great, just good but as usual Rosalind Landors narration is awesome! Could listen to her read anything. She can take an OK story and make it a wonderful story.

Excellent Narration

Daniel, a viscount, is attempting to discover who has inherited a cottage on his estate as well as organize boxes of neglected documents. Penelope, a disgraced sister of a traitor, has inherited the cottage in question and is looking forward to living a quiet life in the country. The two join forces to try and discover why Penelope was left the cottage and to organize the viscount’s documents in an effort to attain the answer. While working together they discover a family secret that brings the government down on them. Daniel and Penelope also develop an attraction to each other. Although the storyline is predictable the characters are interesting and the narration is superior making the audiobook well worth listening to. I recommend this audible book to anyone who likes a clean, pleasant, romance with very good narration.

Wish I’d gotten it from the library

This review is based on my second reading. The first time I just kinda let things slide because I just couldn’t,
This time I wrote a review at Goodreads and Amazon

Here’s a link to my GR review. It is spoiler-y. And there is mild ranting about historical inaccuracies (disjointed lecture on the Luddite Rebellion and [the totally unrelated] Peterloo Massacre provided free of charge)

ROSALYN CSN MAKE ANY. STORY BETTER

Story ok but Landor as usual top of perfection. Such a talent for voices I would almost read science fiction to listen to her.

Enjoyable!

Thank you to the author and awesome narrator. The whole series is full of wonderful outcomes….

So very boring

Devoid of any real romance or toe-curling sex. I had to fast forward frequently. No more Jane Ashford for me.

Never Got Off the Ground

This was a lukewarm story that had no teeth. Didn’t grow legs either. It could have been a good story, had the author picked one topic and developed it, but there were so many pots on the stove, she didn’t have time the time to tend to all of them. Some plot lines were completed, but added absolutely nothing to the story. I was absolutely surprised at the abrupt ending, and the hurried epilogue that threw the tie-ups at readers like a basket of tangled ribbons. “Just here! Take them!” It was like she took a break, then came back to write and decided she didn’t want to bother with it. I am sad and disappointed for the main characters. They deserved more.
