A lady finds love with a rakish prisoner

What did you love best about Some Like it Wicked?

I liked the character growth of Simon. He came around first and I sometimes wondered how Catorina survived as long as she did being innocent. She was way too gullible for me. Sh was also too hard headed to see what she needed when she was looking at it. Loved the ballroom scene where Simon tried to make her see what she meant to him. Men in kilts.......great. I also love Catorina's cat. Robert the Bruce was a story all to himself.

What other book might you compare Some Like it Wicked to and why?

I am sure there are some I could compare this to but at this time I can not bring a title to mind.

Did Charlotte Parry do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Fairly good. Sometimes a little to childish sounding. I was pretty comfortable with the sound of her voice for most of the characters. A little throatier is better for men but we work with what we got. Would listen to more by her.

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

Yes as I liked the characters and wanted the happy ending I was looking for. I really liked Simon as a hero. He was neither too dark or too blind to see things as he should. The lady however might have been a little stronger in some areas. Overall, they developed well.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book and would listen to it again. I have revisited some parts to refresh my memory of certain things as I was telling my niece what a good book I thought it was. I let her borrow my MP3 player it is loaded on so she can listen too.

Love it!!!!

Teresa Medeiros is always a hit!

I loved the story and the characters. The reader was good except her voice for the hero made him sound less than ideal.

Can't listen to this narrator

What did you like best about Some Like it Wicked? What did you like least?

I couldn't listen to the book. The narrator was horrid. If you want to listen to someone with a voice like a whining 11-year-old, this is the book for you. The story may have been great--I generally find Teresa Medeiros writes really fun, intelligent romance stories...with great dialogue...reminiscent of a Nick and Nora from the old Thin Man series. Unfortunately, try as I might, I could only get through about ten minutes of narration for Some Like It Wicked.

What was most disappointing about Teresa Medeiros’s story?

The narration was unbearably high-pitched and whining.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Charlotte Parry?

Barbara Rosenblat

Any additional comments?

Please engage a different narrator.

Very good and enjoyable, but

the ending was completely ridiculous, and ruined the book for me. DNF with 30 min left.
