Entertaining, great narrator

I read another review that described this book as a soap opera and that sums it up well. It’s a steamy, ridiculous story with ridiculously over the top characters. But it’s fun and interesting and the narrator is fantastic. It could have been shorter, but the ride was enjoyable all the way through regardless. I would have liked more details about the ending, rather than just the lead up to it.

Roller coaster ride of romance

Wow !!! What a spellbinding story, filled with fun interesting characters and scandalous behaviors— couldn’t stop listening to the story!

interesting from the former colonies

I finally storyline interesting relatively engaging the characters holy on sympathetic pretty miserable generally and not much to like about any of them honestly which I think was the point. for the end I was actually yelling at Declan because he was so ridiculous and Patrick so arrogant I never understood a portion when it seemed Declan was fine with baz and tag but not Rupert. understanding that there was significant work to describe whatever was wearing setting the scene was fantastic it really put you in these towns in Great Britain and allowed you to realize that it was the 80s and needs epidemic was also covered from a heterosexual point of view
new money versus old. creators vs owners rich versus poor. I did find it some hot lines were never wrapped up or never explained which was kind of annoying but all I was pretty impressed

Incredible Performance

I loved this audiobook! I decided to get it after loving the show and was so impressed by the performance and reading of Tennant!

A twist at every turn…

I enjoyed all of it. I started out routing for one side, ended up rooting for the other. Can’t wait for the show.
