Noble Satyr

Roxton Foundation Series, Book 1

De: Lucinda Brant

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

1740s France and England—the age of hedonism and enlightenment. Antonia must flee the Court of Versailles and the predatory schemes of the Comte de Salvan. She orchestrates an escape with the unwitting assistance of the all-powerful Duke of Roxton, a man she has been warned against as too dangerous for her to know.

Roxton is an unlikely savior—arrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia’s unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing. A classic Beauty and the Beast tale, this prizewinning historical was inspired by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s Le Liaisons Dangereuses, and is a homage to Georgette Heyer’s These Old Shades.

Please note: This newly revised edition of Noble Satyr, which includes relevant bonus letters (from Eternally Yours), is required listening before embarking on the rest of the Roxton Foundation Series.

Great!

Great story and Mary Jane Wells is just an incredible narrator. She does such a good job of conveying the emotion of the characters in her voice.

Bringing the Georgian Era to life!

I have to start with I adore the writings of Lucinda Brant. I have been a fan of hers for many years and have already reviewed the ebook version (5 Stars!) of this book. However, this Audible version has taken my breath away! The narrator, Mary Jane Wells, has an incredible talent and the ability to differentiate between each character and bring them to life purely with her voice. You can tell who each character is, without being told, simply by the changes in her voice. It's an astonishing talent!
The combination of Lucinda Brant's beautiful love story and Mary Jane Well's narration immerses you in the world of 1740's France and England in such a way as to bring it to life! A wonderful experience and I can't wait to experience the rest of the Roxton Foundation Series!

Loved it!

Roxton series is one of my favorites. Especially narrator Alex Wyndham. I was hesitant on listening to the new narration but I was mistaken. It was wonderful! Now I’m going to listen to the new foundation series.

Brilliant narrator

Superb narrator adds to the charm, humor, and energy of the enchanting young heroine.
Very enjoyable romantic drama with some comedy, set in 1700s France and England. The narrator also adds considerably to the appeal of the hearty, good-tempered best friend of the hero, making his dialog very funny.

Second time around

Mary Jane Wells’ narration was far and above better than the first version. Her timing, mood, tone, characterizations, etc. for each setting were stellar. I admit that I’ve had Alex Wyndham fatigue for years, so was much delighted at this new release. The writing is very good, though I’d forgotten how unappealing the Duke is. But it works for the time and place and in this story. Valentine was the best character in the book. I won’t finish the series because my reading interests have moved on, but it was a fun trip down memory lane.
