The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae

By: Stephanie Laurens

Narrated by: Matthew Brenher

“Laurens’s lush sensuality takes my breath away!”
—Lisa Kleypas

Stephanie Laurens fans simply cannot get enough of the Cynsters—the New York Times bestselling author’s wickedly seductive family of sexy rogues and headstrong young ladies. With The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae, Laurens’s enthralling historical romance miniseries featuring the Cynster Brides comes to a wild and satisfying conclusion—as lovely, determined Angelica Cynster recognizes her ideal match across a candlelit ballroom…only to find herself suddenly kidnapped by the man, spirited off to the Scottish Highlands, and engaged to be married!

Thought it would never end.

The story line wasn't bad, but it was really drawn out. I had to make myself finish the book several times and it took me weeks to finish it. I wasn't fond of Angelica (the main female character) at first, but she grew on me as the story line developed. The main male character had no real personality. Maybe that was partly due to the performance, but definitely not all. I'm not sure I would recommend this to anyone. Maybe if it were free or on sale, but I wouldn't waste a credit or buy it at full price.

Pleasing trilogy summation

Where does The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

While it's not a deep and meaningful experience, it's frothy escapism.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae?

The initial interactions of the two main characters were well written.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

After years of Simon Prebble's narration of the Cynster sagas, I'm sorry to report that the new voice does not quite meet his previously recordings.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

For a lark, it's an engaging addition to the Cynster lore.

Any additional comments?

must read trilogy done in sequence

Don't bother with this Cynster audio book.

I usually love Stephanie Laurens books. I have insomnia so they are great to listen to when the nights get long...but the narrator's voice on this audio actually put me to sleep. He sounds like he is reading a dictionary. No inflections, no exciting, animated, or differentiated voices. What happened to Simon Preble who usually reads Ms. Laurens books? Now there is someone who can read and take you away. I won't buy anymore books with this narrator.

Hot Smokey Hero narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I couldn't wait to hear the narration of the Hero. Matthew did a great deep smokey voice that I just loved. Stoy story was drawn out and I hate to zone out on the overly detailed bits.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The plot. The entire book was about planning to get back a goblet. No really that was it! Just planning to get a goblet.

What about Matthew Brenher’s performance did you like?

His hero voice made my kness weak. Loved it.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Any additional comments?

The author is very detailed in her descriptions no matter if it is a love scence or a conversation. She can go on to a point where you lose interest quick.
