No wow factor

This book just did not leave an impression on me at all. A generic story, unmemorable characters and unrealistic storyline. I did not feel taken at all by the book and will definitely not ever attempt to re-read this book as I do some of my favorites. This is not to say it was bad, just not great.

absolutely fabulous

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

I really loved this book and am a huge Jess Michaels fan. I would recommend this book because it is written for thinking adults that want a story that makes sense.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both the hero and heroine are great. The heroine is smart, brave and practical. She wants to take the steps needed to make her life and those of the people around her better. She is sensible.
The hero has some emotional problems, but is trying to put his life back together after a traumatic incident. He also shows signs of alcoholism, which I have long wondered about during the regency period. There is always scenes of men drinking, port, brandy, whisky, but never any talk of the consequences. You can see it here and how it effects the H//H and his family. Very interesting.

What does Danielle O'Farrell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is my new favorite narrator. She has a beautiful speaking voice and gives the characters, especially with a novel that is so emotionally intense, depth and poingancy. The voices are well defined. I think she is great and keep looking for more books with her narration. Hopefully her catalogue will increase,as currently there are only a few.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did have an extreme reaction because I just finished reading " the Rogue not taken". The two books have the same theme where the hero is punishing himself for a past incident, where he feels to blame. This novel handled it so well and with such maturity. I kept thinking why two books can have the same idea, but such different execution. The other book was a mess that I could not finish. This novel made me wish for more and I hated it to end.
I was also wondering that the two books have two similarily named characters Sarafiena & Alice. I am not sure if authors are sharing notes on their potential novels, but Jess Michaels far outclasses the competition.

Any additional comments?

I am so sad to see the end to the notorious Flynns. I know it could not go on, but it was a great ride . All three books were wonderful , real and worthwhile reading.
The only problem with finishing a Jess Michaels novel is that there isn't another one for a while. I think she is fantastic and would love to have her back catalogue available on audible.

Not as good as Volume 1 but still good

Volume 1 was great. Volume 2 was bad. Now listening to Crispin's story, it's right in the middle of the other two. Interesting plot. Danielle O'Farrell gives a great female performance but falls flat on male voices. I like Jess Michaels books, but she should take a lesson from Scarlett Scott and use both female and male narrators.

Great sequel!

The author created a lot of drama for book three in book two. She also hinted in book three at some things that didn't happen, yet. I hope that they do! I love the characters and the way they stick around for subsequent tales.

Pretty good

Wasn’t great but wasn’t bad. Had some eye rolls. Lots of sex scenes which was nice but felt a little lacking and repetitive. Could’ve used some more creativeness in the love making scenes. This is book 3 of a series, I’ll be listening to book 1 and 2 for sure. Narration wasn’t bad, could’ve had better male voices.

Beautiful love story!

This was an unexpected love story. The twists and turns of it made for interesting reading. I enjoyed the Heroine! She is a beautiful widow and has a strong character. The storyline is captivating, especially the love scenes.
I didn't like the Narrator's voice for the male characters.

Good, but...

I am not going to give away the plot, but it was a little...unbelievable. I also had trouble warming up to the heroine. It's not that she is awful, but she is kind of...unlikable. She has no interests outside of being a martyr and screwing the hero. It's not that she is awful, but she isn't realistic to me. I felt like telling her to get off the cross because someone could use the wood, except she clearly had issues regarding self respect. Literally, she banged the hero constantly without him ever saying a word of love to her. Oh, and all her self sacrifice made me nauseous. Just once I wanted her to be a smartass or SOMETHING other than a mewly mouthed mouse that saved everybody and blushed all the time.

Fascinating

This story live up to everything I was hoping for. The characters had depth and the story was more than interesting. I love happy endings.
