Disappointing and a bit silly

Reviewed: 13-03-2019

Not much else to say really. Narration by Zimmerman is OK but the heroin just a bit ridiculous.

Enjoyed the story

I enjoyed this story but struggled with the narrator. This will deter me from listening to the others in the series, unfortunately.

Looking forward to next book

This was my first experience with a Vivienne Lorret book. I was looking for a ‘witty regency romance’ and was not disappointed. I’m looking forward to hearing more of her stories when they are available.

Brilliant!

Enjoyed this book thoroughly. It has a bit of everything. Excellent combination of writer and narrator. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

The end of a fantastic series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if it was their style.

What three words best describe Steven Crossley’s performance?

I struggle a bit with this narrator but the stories are so good I worked my way past the few things that annoy me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, although 11 hours would be a stretch in a normal day.

Any additional comments?

This whole series was just fabulous. Such a good author of this type of book.

Nice story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Only with a warning regarding the narrator

What didn’t you like about Susan Duerden’s performance?

Susan has quite a good reading voice. Her young female characters are OK however her older females tend to be screechy. Her male characters are awful and are somewhat exaggerated, almost aggressive and overdone. I’m not sure if I grew used to her or if perhaps she softened somewhat as the story rolled on. I wonder if she would be better to not try so hard.
I hate to criticise as I appreciate how difficult it must be to do this. 😜

Did Along Came a Duke inspire you to do anything?

I’m reluctant to listen to the remaining books in the series because of the narrator.

Very funny...

This is my second time around on this book. I love the series and I found this book even funnier than the first. Can't wait to 'reread' the other books again. It's a pity that not all of the series is available on audio yet. I look forward to that day.

Loved this novel and the whole series

This series is my first encounter with Maya Rodale. I thoroughly enjoyed her style, very funny and easy to listen to. I will seek out others she has written.

Fabulous!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would if this genre is your thing. I've listened to Book 4 and 5 of this series now and loved them both. I can't wait till the others are available.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Beatrix has to be the favourite of course, such a laugh. Having said that there are many other wonderful characters of which I can't wait to learn more about in the other Hathaway books.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Rosalyn Landor is a magician! She brings anything she reads to life...almost makes these books into movies.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Just brilliant...I'm off to find something else written by Lisa and read by Roslyn.

Loved this!!

I liked everything about this book. I have read all of previous books in this series and was a little worried that it just couldn't be as good or better than the others...I was wrong. I laughed throughout and almost teared up in a couple of spots. Just loved it.

The narrator is excellent, one of my favourites alongside Roslyn Landor.

I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who is into this style of publication and to anyone wanting to try this kind of story for the first time.
