Lady John

De: Madeleine Robins

Narrado por: Charlotte Cole

The last time Olivia Martingale saw Menwin it was in Brussels on the eve of Waterloo. She had loved him then, but her love was not returned. Instead she yielded to the insistent Lord John Temperer, married him, and was left a widow.

With the war at last over, visiting John’s family seemed like a good idea. But John’s brother the Duke disliked her; John’s mother wanted to match-make for her… and into the middle of all this walked Menwin, filling the room with his presence. Olivia felt the old attraction rising again - until Menwin looked right through her as if she was not even worth noticing.

Enjoyed the story, but not the narrator.

I enjoyed the story very much in spite of the narrator’s errors in pronunciation. How did the editor not catch these?

Reads like a Regency novel

I love this author. All of her Regency romances are so well researched, I feel like I'm reading a book written in that era!

light romance

this was a very light Regency romance novel rather predictable but it was a nice listen while you're doing light housework

Simple lovely little story

Funny family and good little story about happily ever after. Zero angst! Perfect for listening with children in the same place or while doing projects.

I think the narrator needs a dictionary ;)

I truly enjoyed this book. The narrator did a wonderful with different voices for all the different people. However she mispronounced so many words, that it pulled me out of the story every time. The characters were pretty well rounded and their personalities were very evident. I love this author by the way. I like the way she thinks.

Author Comparable to Georgette Heyer

What did you like best about this story?

The story is well written and very interesting. It's not just a fluffy piece that solely focusses on how people felt when the were near each other or gazing at each other across the room. It is an enjoyable submersion into the 1800s life.

Lovely Romantic Romp

Many likable characters and lots of humorous badinage. Madeline Robins has written an engaging story, and Charlotte Cole does a good job narrating. Thank you both for a lovely evening as my companions while I see. 🥰

Narrator wasn't the best..

but the story is good and enjoyable and I enjoyed it regardless of the poor narration.

So in the style of Georgette Heyer!

if you crave charming characters, their contretemps and witty banter, MR's historical romance books are for you.

Almost 5 stars

Well-written enjoyable love story. It wasn’t ruined by the narrator but her frequent mistakes in pronunciation and syntax were annoying and occasionally ludicrous.
