Lady Concealed

A Tenacious Trents Novel

De: Jane Charles

Narrado por: Melanie Fraser

All Genviève Mirabelle wanted was her mother's belongings and a place for herself, out from under the watchful eyes of her step-brothers. The Trent Brothers, specifically. Since coming into her life they have had very definite plans for her future, despite her objections. There is only one thing keeping her from seeking her freedom: her mother's missing shipment. Once found, she can live as she wishes, without a gentleman telling her what to do.

Mr. Jonathan Bridges owns one of the finest shipping lines in London. That is, he did until his secretary and a few employees disappeared, leaving a muddle of things. Now several crates are missing and he has no explanation for the owners. The one most persistent in demanding answers is Miss Genviève Mirabelle. As much as he tries to put her off, she is determined to help him. Heaven save him from meddling females who are better served sitting at home having tea.

Their search leads them from the docks and right into the heart of a smuggling ring. But their lives are not the only thing in danger. Their hearts hang in the balance, since neither one ever anticipated what was to come.

Lots of fun

***this book was given to me in exchange for an honest review

I enjoyed this book. The story of Jonanthan and Geneveieve proved to be fun and exciting as the story unfolded. Looking for her mother's things, Geneveieve stumbles on a mess she just has to clean up. Jonathan just wants her to go away while he seaches out where his shipments are going. What do they get? A smuggling ring and a an attraction they just can't fight. Total fun.

Another wonderful performance by Melanie Fraser. I love her narrations, taking me directly into the story and keeps me listening.

This was the first one in the series I listened to, and while it could stand alone, I do think having the history of the others would have been beneficial.

Light Historical Romance

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was an enjoyable listen. Not a book that I'd go out of my way for but interesting enough that I brought more books in the series.

If you’ve listened to books by Jane Charles before, how does this one compare?

This is my first book by this author.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Her accent seemed a bit off. It neither sounded French nor Italian to me. I heard worse jobs done by narrators with imitating an accent. I'd suggest that either the narrator not try to do the accent or work to improve the accent.

Was Lady Concealed worth the listening time?

This is sort of a repeat of an earlier question.

Any additional comments?

This was an okay book and it interested me enough that I bought some more books in the series. The heroine was strong and intelligent, her brothers were bossy and protective and her lover had a hard time accepting and coming to terms with the heroines independence.

There was some action and suspense. It was an enjoyable light listen. A good before bed listen or listen as one drives or does chores as one doesn't need to pay close attention to the story while listening to the book.

great

I really liked this book. it was interesting and kept you wanting to hear more. I would listen to and read more like this

Very enjoyable, light, and fun.

This was my first read of one of Jane Charles' books, and I enjoyed it. I liked the characters, pacing and overall story. There were a few funny moments also. I admit I was confused at times. I thought I had book 1 in the series but, after looking further, realized it is a later book. I could not figure out the main character's accent. I listened to the audio and though the name sounded French, I wasn't sure about the accent. But, I didn't find until later in the story that she had either lived for a while or grew up in France. Despite that, it was a nice, light read. I would recommend starting from the beginning of the series, though you wouldn't be overly lost or confused if you didn't. It definitely is a series I plan to read. The narrator did a nice job. She had all of the inflexion, feeling, and nuances for the characters. At times her speech was a bit quick, but overall, a very pleasant read/listen.

Frode not Concealed!

Lady Concealed is my first Jane Charles book, but not my last! It is that good, trust me! Good character development. gets you a long way! My only complaints are: one - there was no epilogue, and since this is the last in a series i had not read i wanted to get some flashback to the others books. So dear ALL: Don't start here! I was a bit confused, so i wanted to start from the beginning! Still: Lady Concealed is a fun 5 hrs and 19 mins and i feel like i could have fun with this as a standalone, but i recommend to hear the first books first! But i am not concealed about my enjoyment in this book!

Melanie Fraser is not new to me, and i loved her work on The Final Dawn. She is is still good, don't get me wrong, she was just better in The Final Dawn. What about Genviève accent? It is just not that good, i am sorry. I am a big Melanie Fraser fan, but that accent was just not that good. Still 4 out of 5 is not bad, and i do recommend this! Just make sure you start from the beginning!
