Publisher's Summary

London weather is chilly - and the social scene even more so. Luckily, Bridget Forrester is just getting warmed up.

Bridget longs to meet a gentleman who doesn't mention her beautiful sister upon shaking her hand. But since being branded a shrew after a disastrous social season, Bridget knows she’s lucky to even have a man come near her. It's enough to make a lady flee the country. So Bridget heads to Venice for music lessons with the renowned Italian composer Vincenzo Carpenini, with whom she's been corresponding. But not only is Carpenini not expecting her, he doesn’t even remember her! His friend, theater owner Oliver Merrick, does, though. And one look into her tantalizing green eyes has him cursing his impulsive letter-writing, which brought her across the continent. Yet before Merrick can apologize, Carpenini has ordered her away. Little does either man know that they will soon be embroiled in a wager that will require the beautiful Miss Forrester's help - or that there’ll be far more at stake in this gamble than money.

A solid romance and a splendid listen

So different, not your cookie cutter, roll your eyes, story/plot. it took me awhile to finally download and so glad I did. This is a steady listen, with well rounded characters, and an atypical heroine and hero. This is not a heart pounding adventure and/or with steamy sex scenes, but a lovely story, good pacing accompanied with an excellent narrator. The book gave me a reset to the ‘average’ writing or ‘jump the shark’ plots circulating in this genre, as well as finding something other than book 4, 5.... 11, 12 of a series.

Save the best for last.

I enjoyed the other three books in this series, however I found myself lost in this story. Much as the heroine Bridget loses herself in music, this story was such a pleasure to me. I'm not certain if it were the plot, the characters, or a beautiful symphony of all efforts coming together but this book is truly a treasure. Give it a listen, perhaps you'll even want to subtly underlay the story with Symphony no. 9.

Best hero

Ms. Noble gets better with each book. Oliver is her best hero. I hope there is another book in the future.

Absolutely Beautiful!

I truly enjoyed this book! As I did all of the Raven series!! But this one has me completely enthralled! Bravo! Bellisima!

favorite of the series

this being the final book of the Raven series, and my absolute favorite out of all of them. a masterpiece!!!

No Blue Raven

The story was good, but lacked the mystery and intrigue of the other books in the series. The Blue Raven is not even mentioned in this book.

Fine

I liked that the main characters were different than the usual ones in this genre. Lovely tie in to the music. Narrator is excellent at capturing mood, tone, nuance. I’ve mentioned before in this series that the content could be tightened up, as the individual scenes and details can carry on too long, making the pace slow. I’ve had this series up as fast as double speed just to get through some of them. Still, this author is a good writer, and I’ll continue to look for more of her work.

Lovely story

It took awhile to get used to the narrator but the story is engaging and keeps you interested.

Interesting cstory and characters

Really liked the characters and story line and plot, started books out of order but fixing that soon! Novice to Audible bit love it! Crochet like fire while listening to best historical romance ever!

Ok but

I’ve decided not to finish this book. The performance was terrific, but didn’t enjoy the plot.
