By: Lucy Monroe

Vintage Lucy Monroe Romance

Lucy Monroe is a favorite author. This book was written at a time when different norms were in place for romance writing, and society in general. I rate it on her excellent writing, storytelling, and character development while taking into account the context of when she wrote it. Highly recommend if you love a bit of vintage romance!

Not Nearly as good as earlier books

Lucy Monroe is very talented, but this does not showcase her better abilities. The story is cute, fluffy, marrying a prince, blah, blah, blah. Pleasant. But I sure wish that Audible.com would record her earlier books, especially “The Real Deal”, “Ready”, “Willing”, and “And Able”, to name a few. Romance that also includes danger, excitement, strong female heroes, mystery, and, of course, the HEA. If you read as well as listen, try those, in order. You won’t be disappointed. By the way, the narrator in this one is excellent.

Love Necessary

The plot was a smooth casual read. Not as dramatic as some. Yet, very real. Must say the King-to-be’s voice was the weakest part of the performance. Sounded fake.

Recommended

A good story. Fairly straightforward and entertaining. I enjoyed the characters and appreciated Gillian strength when faced with a very determined Maks.

Excellent narration.

Nice voices.

I enjoyed the male’s accent and female voices. It was an easy listen…perfect while traveling.
