Wilde in Love

The Wildes of Lindow Castle

De: Eloisa James

Narrado por: Susan Duerden

Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father's castle, but just as he grasps that he's not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty Miss Willa Fynche.

Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper.

Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own...until he meets Willa. He's never lost a battle.

But a spirited woman like Willa isn't going to make it easy....

The first book in Eloisa James' dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm - and introduces a large, eccentric family. Listeners will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!

listen to the sample first

I have a hard time reviewing the actual story because the narration was too distracting.

Very enjoyable!!

I love all Susan Duerden’s performance’s!
She makes the story soooo much more enjoyable!!
Good characters good dialogue!! Will start the next one!!

Eloisa James!

I absolutely love this series. I know a lot of people are meh about it but I really like it! Seriously just the right amount of everything in a romance!

Could be better

I did enjoy the book, but I found the narration to be a bit difficult to listen to.. there wasn’t any range to it, and it made me want to stop listening more than once

Not my favorite Eloisa book

I love Eloisa James books. They are witty and interesting. They are never boring. Even this, although not my favorite, had all the aspects of a good James book; just not enough. I didn't care for the heroine for some reason but I liked Alaric. And his aunt. Of course there was Sweet Pea, the "American Sable"? 😂

This has the potential to be the first in a long series, which I tend to enjoy. All those brothers and sisters! Because Eloisa is the author I will follow the series.

Another Winner from Ms. James

It’s impossible not to fall in love with Eloisa’s characters, especially when Susan Duerden brings them magically to life. This is Book 1 in The Wildes of Lindow Castle. I’m looking forward to the next books in the series.

Liking Alaric and Willa

I’ve listened to this series at least 2x. This could even be my 4th time. The plot has so many holes you could probably drive a truck through them, but I like the premise and the characters of Alaric, Willa, Lavinia, Parth, North & Diana. Definitely Duke Hugo & Duchess Ophelia. I do like this book over the next, which covers North & Diana. Again, loosey goosey plot (much worse) but I like the characters.
Duerden does a decent job with narration.
Recommend as very light reading for easy entertainment purposes only.

Good story not so good narration

I enjoy every Eloisa James book. She writes wonder tales with great story lines and enjoyable characters. However the narration was bad. Hard to tell characters apart. No emotion when reading. Eloisa’s writing saved the audible performance.

Great narration

This story felt predictable to me. It was just ok. Great narration as I always expect from Susan Duerden.

Whispering narrator

I read/ listen to Eloisa J. Her stories are best told by Mary Jane Wells. I don’t understand why Susan D. must whisper eerily and it detracts from the story. This was another good story by EJ but I will again avoid those narrated by Susan D.
