About this listen

“You can’t help but fall in love with Lynsay Sands!”
—Christina Dodd

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lynsay Sands trades in highland kilts for lush ballrooms and high-waisted gowns in The Countess, the first in a brand new, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny Regency romance series. Fans of Julie Garwood, Jill Barnett, and Teresa Medeiros will adore The Countess, and sympathize with her hilarious attempts to cover up the untimely demise of her despicable husband, even as the late earl’s twin brother sets her heart aflutter. The much adored creator of the popular Argeneau vampire family paranormal romance novels, the incomparable Lynsay is equally adept at historical romance—as this wonderful Regency romp so emphatically demonstrates!

This is not the usual LS storyline folks, I found this one to be full of immature nitwit females and doltish males.
I think the narrator tried just a little too hard and overcompensated in what I found to be screeching tones... If I heard the name 'Dicky' in that juvenile high-pitched tone of voice one more time, I feel I would have drop-kicked my earbuds off the local jetty. I don't think the sex scenes were meant to be so cringe-worthy with the narrator getting louder and louder as she read on, but that is how I found it to be. (i am sure she was having a bad day with the text she was narrating, and heck, I can only imagine that narrating is not as easy as one would think!)
I get that the storyline was meant to be amusing, but it just got more and more ridiculous in my humble opinion. I understand that quite a few people really enjoyed it, so apologies if I have offended anyone who did. :oD
As a writer, Lynsay Sand's work is amazing with really amusing storylines that I have enjoyed and laughed out loud with, and I have huge amounts of her work both written and audio, so this story has come as a real shock

I Couldn't finish this book, it was akin
