historical fantasy paranormal mixture

It took me a bit to get into the special gifts and the historical nature of the story. I did get with the program and enjoyed my journey of Piper and Julian along with the League with all its fascinating characters. Once I got on a roll, I could not stop. I went straight from Julian and Piper to Finn and Victoria then to the Duke. I fell in love with the group of extraordinary league members and the battalion of soldiers.

Kimberly M. Wetherell made an impact with this introduction to me and the audio narration world. I very much enjoyed her various inflections, pitches, tones, and variation in male and female. I felt her voice fit the genre.

Narration awful

I wasn’t going too bother reviewing. It wasn’t terrible but it was a bit boring. Someone said the same thing about the next one. I sort of wanted to read Finn’s story but …. I just finished the story and can’t even remember the heroine’s name. They always called her scamp or something. Julian’s internal struggle over his love for the heroine but promise to stay away takes up the vast majority of the words and gets tiresome. The bit end is not at all scary and totally anticlimactic. Now the narration. I was totally stunned to read two reviews of the 2nd book that said Wetherell’s accent was “spot on”. I assumed she had asked her sister or mother to leave a review to combat the smart terrible review. Her English accent sounds like an 8 year old in a grade school play. It is so bad that it is laughable. I made it through the book trying to just ignore her accent but it is probably going to stop me from reading any more of these in the series. HER ACCENT IS AN ABOMINATION. If you can handle that and want something that is supposed to be exciting but isn’t, go for it. I wish I hadn’t wasted a credit.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

League of Lords Series

The Lady Is Trouble League of Lords, Book 1 brings a intriguing premise to the story. I really enjoyed having a paranormal element aspect to a historical regency era novel. This is a complicated story and you need to pay attention from the beginning. As I restarted the audio a few times as I was confused and felt I was missing something. I love the supernatural magic swirling through the pages and the descriptive language used including the descriptions of the auras. Suspense mystery and a bit of spicey scenes.

Kimberly M. Wetherell did a marvelous performance of this audiobok. Her annunciations and clairvoyant voice bring the story to reality.

A perfect marriage of two worlds

A perfect marriage of two worlds, the Ton and the Gifted. Combining aristocratic manners and starch with the freedom and artistic powers of the gifted. Creating a world similar in concept to Professor X’s School for the Gifted. Julian takes care and control over a League of gifted souls, protecting them. Together with a merry group of friends, they create a home where these lost souls have the freedom to be themselves without censure. When Julian admitted that he was “a daft prick like most men”, no truer statement have I heard. This story is a journey of discovery, discovery of self-control and self-awareness more than any. The singular discovery, that of Julian’s emotions! These two are made of the same cloth, the other half of each soul! The hand flex of insecurity, beautifully pictured as images of Darcy flow to mind. The love match of Piper and Julian is pure explosive magic! Julian carrying her brooch with him since the first day they met was the sweetest.😍 The love token, perfected by Sumner, that I search for in every romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this step out of the ordinary, the paranormal twist being just the escape needed to take this romance to the next level.

Nice book

Nice story was worth the listen the narrator was good but didn’t seem right for the book
