Great Romance for a Summer Listen

What an intriguing story that certainly kept my interest with all of the twists and turns. A well-written romance that was perfect for a summer listen. The reader was very, very good. I will definitely read more books by Lucinda Brant and hope to start listening to the sequel, Salt Redux, very soon. Need to find out what happens to the Earl and his family. I also want to search out more books read b Marian Hussey.

Excellent !

Loved the story It kept my interest and the narrator did the story justice. I am going to read the sequel next. Not my usual style to read the sequel right after the first book;but I want to hear more. It has peaked my interest, so I MUST continue reading. Highly recommended this book and its author.

Having read the book, I just had to hear the audio and it was amazing as the book. The narrator spoke clearly and put much of herself as she read the story keeping you captivated. Lucinda is one of my top favorite authors and all her stories are a must to read and listen too.

I just couldn't stop listening......then I was disappointed when it was over.

Great Story, Fantastic Narration!

This was a really good story, I enjoyed it very much. The hero and heroine had some great chemistry together. I really liked both characters very much. Jane was a great heroine. Salt was fantastic. There wasn't really any sex scenes in the story it was more referred to in the past tense but the sexual tension is there and the relationship between the two felt genuine and real.

The story line and plot was great. There was a bat $h*t crazy villainous lady Diana St. John. Literally this woman is nuts LOL it made the story even better. There was secrets and a few of surprises. There is lots and lots of dialogue throughout the entire book. Some very good dialogue too. This story is not full of filler nonsense either which is a plus for a 12 hour book.

As for the narration, well its Marian Hussey one of my very favorite narrators. She does a fantastic job on the men's voices and gives everyone their own distinct voice and has an excellent reading voice. She reads with emotion as called for too. Love listening to her narrations. She makes a story even better!

I actually got this book free back in November 2015 from amazon and 1.99 for the audible whispersync version so it was a super deal for sure!
