Narrated by Derek Perkins Kerrigan Byrne’s brand of slightly darker, high-stakes romances featuring larger-than-life, dangerously sexy heroes and the women who love them has proved to be a hit with readers and listeners alike. Her Victorian Rebels books comprise one of the strongest historical romance series to have appeared in recent years, and I’ve enjoyed…
Narrated by Matthew Lloyd-Davies An Unseen Attraction is the first in K.J. Charles’ new Sins of the Cities trilogy of historical romantic mysteries set in the late Victorian era. She has taken as her inspiration the pulp fiction of the day; the Victorian sensation novel as penned by authors such as Wilkie Collins, Sheridan le…
Narration by Alexandra Shawnee I had high hopes for Ruthless. The blurb had me enraptured. Being a big fan of twisty, romantic suspense titles, this revenge-based plot turned into love held much appeal for me. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the underlying story of corporate espionage, the “ruthless” tactics for both taking over and taking back a company, and…
Narrated by Paul Woodson I decided I needed to listen to more male narrators than Alex Wyndham and Sebastian York so I deliberately looked for other narrators to try. I’d heard good things about Melissa Foster’s books so I thought I’d take Tru Blue out for a spin. Truman Grit (yes, really) is a 28-year-old…
Narrated by Julie McKay and Dara Rosenberg The Wicked City tells the story of two very different women who live in New York City at very different times. In 1998, Ella Gilbert has just left her husband, and in 1924, Geneva Rose Kelly – known to her friends as Gin or Ginger – is a…
Narrated by Susan Fouche PUBLISHER’S BLURB: Jen Taylor has loved Stefan Sellers all her life. When he surprised her with an engagement ring, she thought all her dreams were coming true. But when she discovers Stefan has an agenda that she never even suspected, she breaks off the engagement and goes to pastry school in…
Narrated by Bianca Amato This recording of one of my favourite of Amanda Quick’s books – The Paid Companion – came out in 2014, but I didn’t immediately snap it up, because I already own a copy of the recording narrated by Michael Page that was produced in 2004, and I wasn’t sure if I…
Narrated by John Lane & Tatiana Sokolov I requested Over the Fence for review largely on the strength of Tatiana Sokolov (aka Tanya Eby) being one of the two narrators. I always enjoy her performances. The blurb looked quirky and interesting too – two neighbours start interacting literally over the fence between their properties –…
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld and Sebastian York Having recently listened to Louise Bay’s King of Wall Street, which I picked up on the strength of The Empire State Series caught my eye because of the narrator pairing; I’ve listened to and enjoyed Saskia Maarleveld in a few historical romances, but I’ve never listened to her…
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells I think it’s fair to say that Devil in Spring is the most highly anticipated historical romance of 2017. I know that I – along with practically every other fan of the author and the genre – was excited at the prospect of meeting Lord St. Vincent mark II in…
