Dark Regency, Volume 1

De: Chasity Bowlin

Narrado por: Lillian Yves

Communing with spirits has been both gift and curse to Emme Walters. Now it's made her a killer's target. Emme knows why the Dowager Duchess of Briarleigh invited her to a house party--to investigate whether the duke, Rhys Brammel, murdered his wife years ago. But Emme never imagined she would fall in love with the brooding duke. Branded by society as a possible killer, Rhys is suspicious of Emme and her alleged "gift." Then a late night encounter creates awareness of her other, more attractive, aspects. When Emme's life is threatened, Rhys becomes her protector. Emme and Rhys find passion and peril as they join forces to solve the mysteries at Briarleigh. She made him believe in spirits, but can she make him believe in love?

Pronounce the words right, Geez

Narrator is not even remotely in my top 10. I tolerated her and her mispronounced words. I have listened to this series before and on my second time. I enjoyed the story well enough. I like the author well enough and hope there are more as time goes. I’ve listened to her other series too.

I liked this story but I didn't love it.

The narrator did a good job especially with differentiation of characters especially impersonating male voices. Of course, she had all the other goodies down like cadence, flexion, emotion,etc. She delivered the kind of narration that made me feel like I was there and she just fell in the background as an separate entity. I suppose that is the goal of a good narrator; they are not supposed to be a distraction or overwhelm the listener.

In conclusion, the plot seemed tired to me although the paranormal aspect was a nice plot device. However, I thought the villains were pretty obvious from the start. The tale did have a good flow to it and I always like a story where the hero shows his love as Reece did in this novel. Overall, I am a fan of this author but this one wasn't my fav.

The Haunting of a Duke

This is a wonderful story filled with mystery, betrayal, friendship, love and the paranormal. The plot, storyline, was so intricately woven with detail after detail as the mystery was unraveled. It will hold your attention until the very end. I can't wait to get a hold of the follow-up story. Chastity Bowlin never disappoints. This was my first time listening to Lillian Yves as narrator. I became more accustomed to her cadence as the story moved along. She did a nice job of making the variety of voices sound believable... as in the differences between the various characters. 😀

what a ride!

I throughly enjoyed this audiobook...I found the characters wonderful & the storyline just drew me in. I loved the twist & turns along with having a mystery to solve, ghost, danger, suspense & a love story. What a ride i can't wait to start the next one!
I highly recommend this audiobook.

The Haunting of a Duke

I liked this book and I am looking forward to listening to the other books in this series. I like these paranormal type books mixed in with historical romance, they’re different and interesting.

The narrator had a voice that was easy to listen to but there wasn’t much difference between the male and female voices. That being said she still did a decent job at telling this story.

Suspenseful paranormal romance

Any additional comments?

This story is suspenseful, entertaining and full of mystery. I like that the characters are practical and logical in tricky situations (that's always refreshing). The blooming attraction between Emme and Rhys is romantic. The paranormal aspect of the story adds an interesting dimension to what might otherwise be a predictable romance. The narration by Lillian Ives is good. She does a great job with distinguishing character voices and bringing out each distinct personality. This is an interesting and suspenseful romance.

Super good!

I really enjoyed this slightly paranormal historical romance. Unique, well-written, with fantastic characters and great narration. Highly recommend!!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it

Have you ever seen a ghost?

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review." I have always enjoyed good ghost story....and 'The Haunting of a Duke' is a good ghost story. You have a lady communing with spirits, ghosts, drunkards, loose women and interfering relatives. What more do you need for a great story?

Engaging and tantalizing

The story’s plot I found to be exciting, there is a lot of love scenes but they were well written. The lady who narrates it does a wonderful job with bringing the characters to life Thru voice changes. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

Good Mystery but narration was not my style

Lillian sounds like she is quietly whispering while performing. For me it is almost hypnotic and I hope she does sleep videos in the future. If you like a quiet, slow, relaxing read, you should like her. I really enjoyed the story with mix of romance and ghosts.
