Great premise, could have been better

I loved the premise of this story, and the execution of it, however I found the ending rather unsatisfactory. It’s very enjoyable, and a good listen.

A wonderful new series by Mary Balogh

I always enjoy Mary Balogh's books and Rosalyn Landor narrates this book wonderfully, bringing each of the characters alive.

A lovely romance

I loved the storyline and the narrator really bought the characters to life. I recommend this easy listening book.

Novel and Endearing

This is now the third Series I am embarking upon by Ms Balogh. I am entranced by this story.

It almost starts as almost every other Regency Romance in chapter 1 and then, one gets knocked sideways by the ponderous, why use 1 word when 5 will do, solicitor, and then the characters just explode upon you!

This is a coming of age story with a huge difference, not traditional at all! I do hope that the subsequent ‘Someone’ stories are this engrossing. I loved ‘Strictly’ and ‘Simply’, but maybe this series will be the best.

Excellent narration

A nice story which in the lips of the narrator was transformed to something... exquisite? dreamy? amazing? I just couldn't stop listening to her...

Narrator critique

the narrator wasn't very good with the male voices/interpretation. Too pompous and sounded too old

Wonderful

This story unraveled itself beautifully in quite unexpected ways. I think that Mrs Balogh is an exceptional writer, with an extraordinary gift for storytelling. I don’t want to give anything away here, so please just listen and enjoy.

A Gentle Story.

It is the being of a series, alot of the major players are introduced.
It is a tale of family overcoming adversity.
The Hero and Heroine have learnt to deal with what life has given them and so have this in common.

Good story with a mawkish ending

Rosalyn Landor is excellent at voices but she does love to spread treacle on with a trowel. Having been married a black belt karate ka, I can appreciate the aura of power that the hero possesses.
