Narrator sounds like an old British Nanny

Pretty Good story terrible narrator. She sounds 100. Very much not sexy. Terrible. Ending was a bit rushed.

Sounds like Mary Poppins Reading Erotica

Sounds like Mary Poppins reading erotica. *face palm*

I love Catherine but can't enjoy the story due to the narrator sucking all sexy out of the characters.

Not for everyone but I liked it

This book has such polarising reviews that I didn’t quite know what to expect, as with Cathrine Coulter you literally don’t know if you can pass the revulsion factor or not. In this case, I liked the story so much I finished it in one day, just couldn’t stop listening.
I didn’t much mind kidnapping and what follows after as it’s a part of the storyline for most of the bodice rippers (dashing Alfa hero is besotted with beautiful heroine, kidnaps her, forces her to submit though his skilful lovemaking and eventually wins her love) but the gang rape scene was totally repulsive and unnecessary, I just don’t understand why CC done it in such a brutal manner??
Apart from that, I really enjoyed the story, plot might not work for everyone as romance essentially is a fantasy world and as the famous proverb succinctly puts it “different strokes for different folks” .....

good

I loved the whole story. However, I find the speakers rendition of the women's voices to be very whiny and snotty sounding, which takes quite a bit out of my enthusiasm for listening.

Love the story HATE the Narrator

I read this book many years ago and was very happy to see it on Audible so I could listen while knitting. The story is still what I remember, but the narrator is now on my "Skip it! if read by any of these Narrators List".

She speaks in high pitch whinny voice for all the characters but in LOW tone such that you need to substantially turn up the volume to hear the story.
