Cast in Shadows

De: Laura Landon

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

Gideon Waverley, heir to the Duke of Townsend, had everything a young man could need, a promising future, a title, charming good looks, great friends, and a family who adored him. Until his body turned him into a monster. He had no choice but to separate himself from the world, to hide his monstrous self from society, to cast away his future. But the brilliant and beautiful Eve Cornwell refused to believe he could not be saved, even as she refused to guard her heart. And all the while she knew she couldn't keep him once she'd loved him back into the light.

Great story!

It was a little predictable but it was still interesting waiting for the heroine figured out the problem. Gideon and Eve were lovely together. There was sadness in the story that tears at your heart but it all works out in the end.

Intriguing Story a must "read" listen!

5-star rating! This book is fast moving, intricately written & narrated, highly recommend and hope you enjoy it like I did.

Heart Pounding Regency Mystery & Romance

If you enjoy reading or listening to Regency romance with a mystery to solve, Cast in Shadows is for you! Author Laura Landon took me on an emotional roller coaster where I couldn’t stop listening to it. I even took a 1 ½ lunch just to finish it after arriving to work one day. The story was refreshing and, despite figuring out who the villain was about half-way through the book, I was on the edge of my seat because I became so enthralled in the characters. I couldn’t help but feel empathy for Gideon, who seemed on all accounts normal, noble, and honorable, while at the same time he suffered from seizures that became debilitating and he became dangerous at the same time.

Ten years after being locked away from society, Gideon meets Eve who is his doctor’s daughter after she returns from school. She becomes his nurse trying to figure out what triggers his seizures. After spending so much time together it becomes provident that they fall in love with each other. One of the things I enjoyed most about this book is that Gideon’s and Eve’s love story evolves slowly and naturally; and most importantly, there is no gratuitous sex. In fact, there is only one “behind closed doors” sex scene near the end of the book – just like I enjoy listening to.

As an added bonus, the irrefutably talented Rosalyn Landor narrates Cast in Shadows and her narration is simply sublime. In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook and recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical romance with more substance and emotional punch.

Another awesome mystery

Another great book that I only put down to sleep. I so enjoyed trying to solve the mystery as I read. Thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely worth the money.

A tad ponderous

I got through it. I have never figured out how 7/8 of the book is spent on the intro and 1/8th on dealing with the bad guy. The bad guy is is the main character. I want to know what's going on inside the mind of the bad guy and what the bad guy feels when dreaming up his nefarious and other dirty deeds. Why make me my go through all this drama just to have the story end like a Korean soap opera?
