Narrated by Amy Rubinate The World’s Fair: Columbian Exposition also known as the Chicago World Fair of 1893 is the backdrop for this wonderful story. The author’s research is evident in the writing. The book is so steeped in the time, place, and culture that the setting becomes another character. It Happened at the Fair…
Do you ever pick up a book without expecting much from it, but then it knocks your socks off? That is what happened to me with Carolina Girl. I had never heard of Virginia Kantra so I didn’t know what I would get with the first book in the Dare Island series. The story is…
This latest installment in Cecilia Grant’s Blackshear series is as different from the two titles that preceded it (A Lady Awakened and A Gentleman Undone) as those two books are different from each other, but is every bit as good. Nicholas is the middle Blackshear brother and has been making his living as a barrister…
Narrated by James Langton Julia Quinn’s Bridgertons are a favorite of mine. When He Was Wicked was one of the very first audiobooks I listened to – and it remains at the top of my keeper/re-listen list as well. Simon Prebble is also one of my favorite narrators because of this audiobook. I always thought…
When I first chose this book to review, I did not realize that it was a collection of short stories about the Bridgerton family; I only initially noticed that it was another Julia Quinn book. When I discovered that it was not a novel, but eight “second epilogues” and a novella about matriarch Violet Bridgerton,…
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor For me, this is one of those times when it’s like Christmas came early – one of my favorite authors, stories, and couples are realized in audiobook form by one of my favorite narrators. When I wrote a review of the book at the beginning of January, I said I thought…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton When I heard – here at AudioGals of course! – that Laura Kinsale planned to release her books in audio format, I was, well, to say excited is probably the understatement of the year. I’ve followed her progress via her interviews here and feel very privileged, as one of the newest…
For those who have been waiting, Flowers from the Storm was released 6/05. Narrated by Nicholas Boulton We Kinsale fans are getting such a treat – 12 audiobooks in the next year, all narrated by superstar Nick Boulton! And Flowers from the Storm is arguably the most eagerly awaited Kinsale title amongst them all, for good…
The best historical romances are those that draw you into another world and make you see, smell and touch what is going on, sharing the emotions and the mindset of characters who are thousands of miles and hundreds of years removed from your own experience. This is what happened to me when I read (in…
This book caught my attention immediately because I am a huge fan of stories set during the American Revolution, which are hard to come by. I’m so glad I picked it up because The Turncoat proved to be a thrilling read, both incredibly romantic and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful. Be warned: it will keep you up to…
