The Thief's Countess

By: Cecelia Mecca

Narrated by: Sienna Frances

A thief turned reluctant protector. A countess who resents but can't resist him.

The Reiver

Sir Geoffrey has dedicated his life to exacting revenge on the men who killed his parents and stole his birthright. The son of a baron, he has been reduced to stealing the resources he needs to reclaim his family legacy. Just when he's on the verge of success, his uncle asks him to put his plans on hold to help protect a wealthy countess. It's a distraction Geoffrey resents, even more so when he meets Lady Sara. The gorgeous, complicated, and alluring lady is everything he'd want in a woman - and everything he can't have.

The Countess

With her betrothed coming to claim her hand in marriage and a distant cousin intent on usurping her earldom, Lady Sara Caiser feels beset by controlling, unwanted men. As if that weren't enough, her father's deathbed request was for two lawless border reivers to serve as her protectors. Despite her misgivings, an undeniable attraction pulls her into Sir Geoffrey's arms. The man she thought nothing more than a thief is more dangerous than she believed, for he's noble, caring, and sinfully attractive. As the threats against her continue to mount, Sara must decide what's more important - her duty or her heart.

The Thief's Countess, set in 13th century Northumbria, is the first book in a historical romance series. If you like strong female heroines, alpha male types, and sizzling romance, you'll love the first full-length installment of the Border series.

awesome

I had never heard one of Cecilia's books before. I read them all the time but this was the first time hearing one. I have to say I was impressed.

The Thief's Countess has been my favorite so far of hers. Is a great place to start. Is a wonderful historical romance. well thought out and well researched. you feel as though you are really there by listening to it.

Narration for male voices sound mechanical YUK -

The story is pleasant and has a nice predictable ending, an easy listen except for when the reader does the male voices and goes into a grating mechanical mode. I am not one to usually pick on narrations but this was one of the worse I heard. I barely could stand to finish the book and will not be listening to the rest of the series unfortunately. .

A True Romance & Great Experience of Another Time

A truly sigh worthy and epic romance, I was completely swept away. The world-building is excellent, and we can feel the characters from the start. It's wonderful getting to know Geoffrey and Sara. A turbulent time, their love shouldn't be, yet is so undeniable. It's wonderful seeing how the characters are revealed and their relationship grows as the story progesses. I don't spoil anything but I will say this is one romance to pick up asap. This is a voluntary review of a copy gifted by the author. She is a consistent writer, and the experience is enhanced even more in the audio version. Highly recommend for sure.

Good story line but...

This had a good story line but could have been more exciting and intense. Had enough romance tnough.

it's a great start for the series

The writing of Cecelia Mecca is excellent, the plot is flowing and accurate and I loved the interaction between Sir Geoffrey and Sara and I thought that their love story was touching. The narration is very good too. it's a great start for the series and I can't wait for the rest of the books to arrive.
