When I read this book in print I was so moved by Goodman's portrayal of the gradual thawing of West's cold and aloof heart. Apparently narrator Sterlin didn't grasp that because it was almost painful listening to a particularly intimate scene in which West confides his most painful secrets to Ria. This is the scene in which a "reader" would know that he had surrendered his heart, but sadly a "listener" would hear the same cold and aloof man we met at the beginning of the story.
I've seen enough BBC historical drama to recognize the high-toned cadence of a regency era upper crust accent and it works well enough in straight narrative here. However, Sterlin's voice for male characters sounds snide and slightly effeminate and I found it grating and wrongwrongwrong for a romantic lead. The villains are given a full Snidely Whiplash treatment and the other members of the Compass Club and romantic heroes in their own books sound fat, old, and blarbly (not a word, I know, but that's how they sound).
5 stars for book; a lump of coal for narrator

Witty, charming and dark

The narrator is OK, not one of my favorites. She has a nasal grandmotherly voice which I don't appreciate but her dramatization is fine.
I started with 1.25x speed and eventually jacked it up to 2x as I wanted to get through the book as quickly as possible.
Thoroughly unpleasant book

Spoiler I Guess
The villians aren't punished. After raping and torturing probably dozens of teenage girls over the course of years (then selling them as prostitutes or turning them out to die on the streets) some of the rapists are "punished" by being locked up for a couple weeks.
Since this is fantasy written by a woman, I expected some vengeance. Maybe prison, transportation to a penal colony, death, or at least a scar or two.
I am not sure why the author created this horror plot and then decided not to give the reader any relief over the fate of the young girls who are the victims.
There is a brief discussion over the current victims. Some will "decide" to become prostitutes but others will be helped "if they want it". There is no concern over the many previous victims that were sold to brothels. They are not even a plot afterthought. Ick.
Maybe this book is meant to subtly appeal to those who are titulated by BDSM. But I want escapism not sadism. If I was intrigued by systematic sexual violence toward girls and women I can check the news out Myanmar, India, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, or even in the US. Thankfully, for the sake of my sanity, I am not intrigued.
This book is long for the romance genre. But there's not much plot to justify the length. It could have been hours shorter and would have been just as "satisfying".
The author puts words together well. The main characters end up together and declare their love after overcoming difficulties. There are boat loads of explicit sex scenes, so many that they start to seem like filler.
If you are repulsed by sexual violence, especially as a plot device, I recommend giving a hard pass.
Icky Rape and Torture Plot
