Solid romance with a good heroine

This is a tough one. I love the strong female leads in Joanna Shupe’s work, but I sometimes have trouble fully connecting with the romance. Not sure what it was. This one was steamy-ish, fine banter, good character development, fun situations. Maybe it was something about the pacing. I finished this one, but more slowly than I normally do. And I didn’t have trouble putting it down. Basically: a fun light read to keep you busy when you don’t want your sleep ruined by a page-turner.

The Narrator Gets Lucky

The narrator really made me stick it out and read til the end. I love Joanna Shupe's work but this series has been a bit slow or just hard for me to get through. I will say I enjoyed this book far more than the first in the series.

Loved the Plot

I enjoyed the story as a whole. The plot was well developed and I liked the characters. My problem was with the voices. The narration was fine, but the voices needed improvement. It was such a distraction that I considered not finishing the book.

Too Long but Good

The narrator was difficult to listen to. Her female voices sounded like a 12 yr old girl. her attempt at male voice just sounded fake.

Lady becomes a vixen

Very fun book, Enjoyed the lessons given by the hero nice slow burn with sweet ending. I didn't really like the narrator's male voice and pace but I did get used to it. Another solid Shupe book!

Bad narrator

Regency romance books count on effective fantasy, as the reader puts themselves into the story. That’s why we read them!
But it’s made difficult by a narrator who speaks like a Kardashian, and sounds anything like the dashing hero, Kit.
Present day inflections ruin it for those who love Ms. Shupe, but struggle with these lousy narrations.
Come on! These authors make a fortune on their books. Can’t they at least hire a decent male actor, in addition to a female?

Way too many words

Good steamy sex but boring endless descriptions of main characters’ thinking and indecisiveness. Had to jump ahead many times to skip these frequent boring narrations. The narrator’s voice was grating and harsh, spoiled it, along with the descriptive diarrhea.
