Reseñas de la Crítica

"Lucinda Brant's sweeping family sagas are a perfect reminder of why I fell in love with historical romance." (Cheryl Bolen, New York Times best-selling author)

"Nice twists and turns, dramatic revelations, and some enjoyable chaos make this a book that keeps the reader turning the pages. Highly recommended!" (Fiona Ingram: five stars, Readers' Favorite)

Magnificent performance!

Great story by Lucinda Brant. The audio narration is outstanding and deserves 10 star rating instead of 5. The narrator has an exquisite voice and is very talented in imitation of accents as well as creating different voice for each character in the story. Masterfully performed. Bravo!

What a wonderful book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you haven't read any of Lucinda Brant's Roxton Family Series, you are missing the most wonderful and romantic series!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Midnight Marriage: A Georgian Historical Romance?

The very beginning when the elderly Roxton takes his son to meet his very young girl to become engaged.

What does Alex Wyndham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Alex brings to life each character. I have listened to The Roxton Family Series three times and Alex Wyndham is the reason!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved whe Julian sees Deborah after 3 months and doesn't realize she is carrying his child. When he abruptly leaves. His action was this immediatly after, "as if all the emotional fight suddenly drained from him. He slumped against the wall and slowly slid down the paneling to the bottom step. Here he covered his face with his hands and sobbed."

I have not. But I must tell you, I think his performance brilliant. I was watching a film, not listening to a book -- yep, that good!

Any additional comments?

An intense, at times humorous, thrilling saga of the union of nobility with all its agony and sacrifices where the individual’s freedom of choice is thwarted at every turn. Yet, from all the cacophony, comes a love so wonderfully deep and poignant, so emotionally fulfilling you wish it were your own. This is the second of Ms. Brant’s books I’ve listened to. It won’t be my last. This series is highly recommended to those who wish to find love the hard way…

I love the way the story starts. A young girl of 12, slightly drugged, is married to a boy of 15, half-crazed with drink, in the middle of the night. It seemed sinister. I asked myself who was the bad guy and kept asking. Who were these children who were coerced into marriage? As chapter 1 begins, I was totally compelled to get the answers to my questions. If Sir Gerald is her brother, her guardian, why was he trying to marry her off? What made the marriage so necessary? Great drama.

Cleverly, the author holds the reins in her hands, taunt, only dispensing pieces of the puzzle and creating greater suspense, propelling us to the moment where all falls apart. The heroine, Deborah did not put all the pieces together until much too late for she had no remembrance of that momentous night.

The story shows us how evil and greedy man can be no matter his station in life. Martin and the Duke of Roxton were hard characters to read, however, hints were dropped, but without a clear picture they could have meant several things. Deborah Cavendish was everything nobility should be, strong of spirit and passionate of heart.

The narrator, Alex Wyndham shows wonderful professionalism and a delight to listen to. He is endowed with a rich baritone which could be listened to forever. His superb voice inflection, interpretation of the author’s words wove a listen extremely hard to put down. Characterization of each player was truly spot on. Elder voices were over the top. I heard each character’s state of mind distinctly. His timing, enunciation, and presentation made an enchanting listen and I’m thrilled to know he continues the narration of the rest of the series.

Wonderful!!

Great saga with wonderful characters. As always, the love stories were touching and sweet. All of Lucinda brant's stories are easy reads with great details
A good read for all!

Beautiful, Exciting Story and Excellent Narration!

Would you listen to Midnight Marriage: A Georgian Historical Romance again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to Midnight Marriage again. Lucinda Brant is an excellent writer, who keeps the story constantly moving while making you fall in love with the characters. I caught myself rewinding and listening to certain parts of the story to replay the scenes in my head!

What other book might you compare Midnight Marriage: A Georgian Historical Romance to and why?

This is the first time I've read (heard) Lucinda Brant's writing. Two of my favorite authors are Eloisa James and Jennifer Ashley, and Lucinda's now on my immediate-buy list with these two authors!

What does Alex Wyndham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I would not have chosen a better narrator than Alex Wyndham. He does excellent voices for each of the characters. I believe he made the characters truly seem real, as if I was watching a movie. I would definitely listen to another book knowing he narrated it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I actually laughed out loud at several parts of the book and became emotional towards the end. Although I did not cry, I believe it takes an extremely talented author to bring such an emotional reaction to written word. Lucinda Brant is an excellent story teller.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait to read and listen to the rest of the series!

Intriguing

Not the usual Lord and Lady bodice ripper! The characters have depth and charm. Good intrigue and sensuality to keep it exciting but plenty of humorous sidekicks. The narrator- well lets just say I enjoyed the sexy voice with a British accent! Can't wait to hear the next story in this series.

Excellent

Lucinda Brandt continues to delight with this Roxton Family Saga. Wonderful characters, intriguing twists to the whole HEA challenge and the description of the French court/dress pleased me throughout the entire story. I am on to the next in this series gleefully anticipating Alex Wyndham's spot-on narration.

Heroine was tooo stupid!! Great hero

I detested the heroine Deb. She got on my nerves. I wanted to jump in the book & smack her. Julian deserved a much better wife. Julian was a wonderful hero.

Highly entertaining story thanks to the narrator

Amazing narration once again!!! Alex Wyndham is one of the best narrators ever. On to the next audiobook in the series.
