Marshmallow Fluff for the ears

I absolutely loved this book. It was such an easy listen and the story was very sweet. It's definitely a grown-up "fairytale" and NOT a historical romance. There isn't much of a plot but it's still a fun and enjoyable read. The narrator was amazing!! I was happy to learn there are more books in this series....I can't wait for the next one.

Beautiful story

I almost give up listening after the first chapter, a little slow in the beginning, a then it got better. I end it up falling in love with the characters, the narrator is very good and the story line is like a fairy tale. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Loved it.

Such a Sweet Fairytale

I love Cinderella stories and this one was sweet, romantic, and definitely for adults. The sexual tension between Kate and Gabriel builds beautifully in this story and it kept my attention throughout. It isn't so much a historical romance but for those of you who also love the story of Cinderella you will love this! I thought the narration was good. Each character had its own unique voice which I liked. Well done!

I Didn't Want It To End!

One of the best books I've heard.

A fairy tale love story of an impoverished Prince who is to be wed to a wealthy Russian Princess, after falling in love with another.

With only money enough to care for his responsibilities (aunts, uncles, brothers, cousins, servants, estate upkeep, and a menagerie with elephant, monkey and lion) for a few months, he must marry quickly, sacrificing his heart for his responsibilities.

The talented Susan Duerden's performance, read with such feeling, had me laughing at times, and shedding a tear at others. She was the perfect narrator for this book.

Any Historical Romance lover should enjoy A Kiss at Midnight!
