I think I would love this book if not for the narrator. I’m 5 hours into it and I think I’m am going to stop. There is not much difference in the characters voices. The women all sound like a man making fun of a woman’s voice. It distracts from the story.
Why some narrators have to raise their voice at the beginnin of each sentence? I usually lower the speed or the volume. I really wanted to listen this story, but after a few minutes of screamed first words and screeching female caracters my ears are bleeding and I’m giving up.

This is an excellent beginning to a very classy series. The narrator has a voice that is easy to listen to and complimented the story for the most part although assigning common accents to a lady of the aristocracy and to a member of the diplomatic service was an annoying mistake but overall this audiobook..
The second book to this series was so good. I remember thinking after I read the first one, “Wow!” Just as in the first book, I had no idea. The characters and the plot was written so beautifully. This is what romance should be.
K.A., too whiny and drawn out. I trudged thru this because I was determined to get something out of it, and I got about 20% amount of pleasure and the rest was almost painful to get thru. If you do another in this series, which I will listen to, with great caution after this one,..

Really enjoying this series. The storylines have weight to them and valid real life angst. Looking forward to the rest of this series on audio. Thumbs up keep doing you’re doing. 🙂
Great story, great narration. Likeable characters. Sweet love story. This one is a keeper for sure. Hope other people like it as much as I did.
I love Felix and Lane. Their banter alone can bring me back and Joel Leslie’s narration is superb. That being said – and without giving much away – for me, the plot was unconvincing and rather lacking.
