A Fine Passion

De: Stephanie Laurens

Narrado por: Jill Tanner

Set in Regency England, Stephanie Laurens' New York Times best-selling Bastion Club series evokes a bygone era where romantic entanglements rule the day - and inflamed desires rule the night. In A Fine Passion, Jack, Baron Warnefleet, narrowly avoids marriage when he flees London for the refuge of his estate. But there waits Lady Clarice Altwood, whose beauty is impossible to ignore.©2005 Stephanie Laurens (P)2008 Recorded Books

Grimace, grimaced

Why, oh why do these words appear so often?
The narrator butchered them in a way it became too irritating. It almost killed the book.

horrible narration ruins great book

SL uses the word grimace umpteen dozen times in her books. the only reason I know this is because this narrator mispronounced it every single time. She also mispronounced Dalziel's name as well . she said it as Deal emphasizing the second syllable.
her voice was so pedantic, I had to listen at 1.55 speed just to get through it.
Other than that, I enjoyed the story.

Boud - I - KA

loved it but the mispronunciation of Boudica's name drove me nuts. Boud I Ka. love a strong woman.

I love all Stephnie Laurens books

I really enjoyed this book. She gave us a better understanding of Jack and who he is. I found it easy listening and set at a comfortable pace. Clarice was a wonderful character and hope to see more of her in the next few books.

A warrior finds his warrior queen

One of my favorite Laurens' romances. Jack returns home from war and finds Lady Clarice ensconced as doyenne of the village, filling the shoes he left empty while fighting Bonaparte. When scandal threatens her family, Jack and Lady Clarice go to London where Jack assists Clarice in defeating those threatening her family, and defeat a harpy while at it. Of course they fall in love, leading to the most romantically perfect proposal ever.
