Another Great Story by Stephanie Laurens

Would you consider the audio edition of Scandal's Bride to be better than the print version?

I read this book, and then later on listen to it as I was driving across the country, I have to say listening to it brought more into it, that I didn't pick up from reading the book. Listening to the love scenes from Simon was another surprise, reading it is one thing, but when another person is reading this to you, and as interesting as he makes it, that was a whole other sphere.

What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?

All of it.

He was not the scandal...she was

This is my favorite book. The passion and sex scenes in this series is starting to become more detailed. Not a problem for me, Simon Prebble makes everything sound so passionate anyway. Scandal's Bride has a twist in that she comes to him the first three times. I thought it was a wonderful twist. I like to hear the details of a marriage sometimes instead of always reading about the courtship. This was a great book!

NOT MY FAVORITE NARRATOR!!

Any additional comments?

The story was a good one and it held my interest, although I think there was too much reflection of the thoughts of each character rather than dialog between the characters. Simon Prebble is certainly not one of my favorite narrators. I feel he sounds too old to be the voices of the characters that are supposed to be in their 20's or 30's. The way he narrates the love scenes turns into a yelling frenzy by the time the scene is finished. As I have said once before, he sounds like he is announcing the Kentucky Derby!! Please Please Please authors, give great thought to who you chose to narrate the story that I'm sure took you a great amount of time to write. Thank you.

A Great Hero

I really enjoyed this story and the hero's ability to let the heroine shine. Like the change of location from the other book in the Cynster series as it set this one apart from the others. Great passionate read.
