Pride & Passion

By: Charlotte Featherstone

Narrated by: Bianca Amato

Lucy Ashton had long ago given up her quest for true love. In the rarified society of Victorian England, Lucy plays the game—flirting, dancing, and dabbling in the newly fashionable spiritualism. Even marrying when—and who—she’s supposed to. If the stuffy Duke of Sussex cannot spark the passion she craves, he can at least give her a family, a home of her own, and a place to belong. But when her polite marriage reveals a caring and sensual man, Lucy begins to wonder if she can indeed have it all.

But Lord Sussex is not the man the London ton has come to admire. And Lucy has some ghosts of her own, as well. Thus, when a blackmail scheme turns to threats of danger, the newfound peace of the Sussex marriage is cast upon the rocks. Passion has a price, Lucy learns. And not all ghosts stay buried.

So very passoniate

OMG... I cannot wait to read more from Charlotte Featherstone!!! The way she is able to put to words the feelings she is expressing in her writing is remarkable!! I cannot even think of another author to compare her to, Christine Feehan would be the closest but I have to say Charlotte Featherstone is one author I will read for as long as she writes!!

Excellent!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Pride & Passion to be better than the print version?

All around an excellent story, really loved the narrator. My only issue that at some points during the book things moved too quickly from one scene to another but definitely want to listen to again...

Very Entertaining

Interesting story. This is book #2. I haven’t listened to book #1 because it’s narrated by someone else. I absolutely love Bianca Amato (also known as Rebecca DeLleuw), so I chose this one. She’s the only one who could do it justice. There is dialogue that makes you laugh out loud as well as steamy love scenes that are tastefully written. It’s wonderful as a standalone book and I highly recommend it! I doubt if I will move on to the 3rd book, because they switched back to the first narrator for that one. Such a shame.

My kind of bodice ripper

Where does Pride & Passion rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the better romance audios I've listened to. It was sexy, mysterious and interesting. The plot was well developed and the characters are interesting and the sex scenes were HOT! Lucy and Lord Sussex are a good match and their pairing is super heated, and passionate. I needed a "take me away" book and this totally took me to fantasy land.

Have you listened to any of Rebecca de Leeuw’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No and she was great.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitely but I have a job, my family and an old cat to care for.....had I not been a responsible person my whole family would have starved and our cat would be begging for food elsewhere!

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next book. This was much better than expected!

Better Than The First

Any additional comments?

Much better than the first book. Yes this is a series although Audible doesn't indicate. Story, romance and narrator made this an enjoyable listen. Purchased on sale which was even better!
