Publisher's Summary:

With his older brother's betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed of all familial expectations. But the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother and his fiancée have been assisting with and volunteers to help by hunting down a hoard of gunpowder now stashed somewhere in London.

Michael's quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where his sole source of information is the fetchingly attractive Miss Cleome Hendon. When Michael asks about the carters who transported the gunpowder, Cleo offers him a bargain: she will lead him to the carters he seeks, but only if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission.

But their investigation proves dangerous, and the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. Soon Michael and Cleo find themselves tangled in a fight for their lives - one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all: a shared life, a shared future, a shared love.

A book and good narrator, but BAD end result.

The book MIGHT have been very fun, and the narrator was good, but the two did NOT mesh well together. Finishing this book was honestly a chore. It's a shame because neither of the two were were bad, they just didn't mesh well. The story DRAGS along, and the narrator's speed and speech patterns slow it down more. He is good at what he does, but when you have a detailed book, and a methodical narrator.... Oh and it became a game to count how many times the phrase, "gun powder" could be used in a single chapter.

least engaging storyline of the trilogy.

the story was ok. fwd through the sex scences, never got to point of suspension of disbelief. it filled the storyline holes the other two left.

Sloooowww

Dull, boring, repetitive, predictable. Story could have been told in a third of the pages.

The narrator is not a good fit for this book

Would you try another book from Stephanie Laurens and/or Matthew Brenher?

Stephanie? Yes Matthew? not so much, he narrates well but not following Simon Prebble.

What other book might you compare An Irresistible Alliance to and why?

I can't, 15 minutes in? I was so displeased with the narration I quit listening. Don't get me wrong, he can READ, but he cannot perform.

Would you be willing to try another one of Matthew Brenhers performances?

nah. His narration is cold and there is so passion.

Any additional comments?

PLEASE get another narrator for Stephanie's books, they are lovely dances in life to enjoy, but not the way Matthew reads them.

DISAPPOINTED!

This was disappointing. instead of having one really good book it was split into three. This book was like the slow detailed middle of a book. One mediocre danger scene and an equally mediocre love scene. This is not what I've come to expect from this author.

Members Reviews:

Unbelievable good.

I loved the premise of the story and I was hooked from the beginning. Vivienne Leheny was amazing. She had a specific voice for all the character s and it follows for the next 2 installments. She totally brought the book alive for me. Her performance only enhanced the entire story. I hope she doing the rest of the series! Since I started listening as well as reading many of my favorite books I've come to realize the person preforming can either ruin a story for me or truly make it an extraordinary experience. To my delight Ms. Leheny made it an awesome experience.

Gladiators, her me roar for am a fearless female

Theirs story was fantastic. It had your no ness Earth heroine with a hard outer shell but with a big heart. Let's not for get the big alien alpha gladiators,which are a site to behold. Mix these ingredients together and you get one adventurers,explosive,ball of chemistry me fire between the gladiator champion and the new female comer. Together their destiny are intertwined leaving you cheering and hoping for a Happy every ending. Narration was great. Can't wait for the next book.

WOW! What a ride!

This is the second series by Anna Hackett that I've started and I love them both. Gladiator has a totally different feel than her Hell Squad series that I can chalk up to the talent of the author and the talented narrators she had reading each series. Gladiator, the first in the Galactic Gladiators series is a syfy adventure romance involving an alien abduction, tough humans and alien hero's to the rescue. As with all of Ms. Hackett's series, the story is action packed with plenty of steamy scenes in between. Vivenne Leheny does an excellent job of bringing the characters with a great talent for voices.

I would definitely recommend this series to anyone.

Great start to this series!!

Loved the "Hell's Squad" series so was looking forward to this s series. Was not disappointed!! Harper has lost so much then she's kidnapped as a slave. Love the interaction between her and Raiden who has his own baggage he's working through. Looking forward to the next book.

Awesome sci-fi action packed Gladiator romance

I really enjoyed this book. The action and characters were attention grabbing.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 454 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

All of London is abuzz over the imminent arrival of Wulfric Bedwyn, the reclusive, cold-as-ice Duke of Bewcastle, at the most glittering social event of the season. Some whisper of a tragic love affair. Others say he is so aloof and passionless that not even the greatest beauty could capture his attention. But on this dazzling afternoon, one woman did catch the duke's eye - and she was the only female in the room who wasn't even trying.

Christine Derrick is intrigued by the handsome duke...all the more so when he invites her to become his mistress. What red-blooded woman wouldn't enjoy a tumble in the bedsheets with a consummate lover - with no strings and no questions asked. An infuriating lady with very definite views on men, morals, and marriage, Christine confounds Wulfric at every turn. Yet even as the lone wolf of the Bedwyn clan vows to seduce her any way he can, something strange and wonderful is happening. Now for a man who thought he'd never lose his heart, nothing less than love will do.

Contains mature themes.

Critic Reviews:

"With this series, Balogh has created a wonderfully romantic world of Regency culture and society. Readers will miss the honorable Bedwyns and their mates; ending the series with Wulfric's story is icing on the cake. Highly recommended." (

Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Ten Stars!

I have read this book several times but rushed to buy it at in audio format. Rosalyn Landor is perfect for Mary Balogh's writing. I will listen to this many times!

Fantastic Finish!

This was an awesome conclusion to the Bedwyn Saga. This was story about the Duke of Bedcastle the last Bedwyn sibling to fall in love. This was one of my favorites in this series. This listen was well worth the credit with a five star review.

Delightfully damaged characters ending a series

Wulfric's story is the one we all waited for. I took back one star for our heroine's protesting beyond the point of sense (no spoiler, I won't say what she's refusing to do). But loved that she leaps before she looks, spills, rips, tears, falls, and generally isn't your usual heroine at all. Definitely a girl I could relate to.

Finally, finally we get an explanation of Wulfric's frozen demeanor and ducal behavior even to his family. He goes from iceberg to...well, making sense at last while staying true to character. Plus some real surprises that are also true to character. Love it when a hero can go from scary frigid to sympathetic in the course of a book.

I'm being a bit vague, but I don't want to spoil it for others. The narrator is awesome and I totally lost myself in the story without ever noticing the narrator once things began, which to me is the mark of greatness. Kudos!

If there was a way to give partial stars, this would honestly be a 4 3/4 as I suspect the author could have kept the conflict cranked without resorting that one last time too many. Regardless, I bought this the minute I could and you won't be sorry if you do.

The Unforgettable Bedwyns

The only sad thought of these books are that there are no more siblings to write about. Their personalities are so great, humorous, strong willed, strong tempered and just plain fun. I hope Mary Balogh will continue with their off spring and create more stories of romance.

Passion flares between enemies

Two hotheaded Highlanders, the offspring of feuding lairds, are tricked by the King's Regent into a desperate choice: marry or die. Bhaic MacPherson is more disposed to lead his clan into battle than stay married to the daughter of his enemy. But perhaps the intensity of his feelings has more to do with desire than hostility.

And the Highlands ignite

Ailis Robertson wanted a husband, not a savage - but when her family was faced with a deadly ultimatum, she had no choice. The union of a MacPherson and a Robertson could end three generations of hostilities between the two families, but can bitter rivals truly become lovers?

Critic Reviews:

"Wine's attention to historical detail breathes life into this captivating tale." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Hard to finish

I struggled to finish this book. Sometimes I wish I didn't feel the need to do so! Too many ye's & me's it become annoying. I'm a big Julie Garwood fan ... if anyone would have grabbed a hold of their woman like Marcus & his men did Ailis ... well they wouldn't have would they! Did not like the narration so precise and the women sounded whiney the men - meh! I like a good Scottish burr.

Spitfire!

Loved it!!!! Well written medieval highland romance with required kilted stubborn hunks and headstrong lasses.

Antony Ferguson's voice is the perfect sexy highlander and makes listening a sensual experience.

Very steamy, hot sexual encounters.

Definitely creditworthy!

Lovely story, felt sorry for the heroine

Loved the story, heroine put up with way too much in my opinion. And their chemistry was quite steamy.

Not hot and steamy!

Reading a review that said hot and steamy is why I bought the book! Definitely a huge disappointment there. Dont purchase if you want hot and steamy. This book doesnt even come close to hot and steamy. You cant beat Ferguson as a narrator though. I love the highlander books but I will return this one. This is one of the poorest reviews I have gave in a long time.

Ugh!

This was one of the most tedious, disappointing reads I've had in a long time. The language was just awful. It was close to parody bad. Really people that write about Scotland should at least research the speech and dialect of the people you are writing about. And the poor characters, they didn't have a single stable happy moment as a couple until the last 20 min. Why can't writers make their characters happy and stable with more outside conflict instead of spending the entire book doubting each other and miserable. So frustrating!!

She'll put her life on the line for him....

When Akira Ayres finds the brawny Scot with a musket ball in his thigh, the healer has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to save his life. Even if it means fleeing with him across the Highlands to tend to his wounds while English redcoats are closing in. Though Akira is as fierce and brave as any of her clansmen, even she's intimidated by the fearsome, brutally handsome Highlander who refuses to reveal his name.

Yet she can never learn his true identity.

Geordie knows if Akira ever discovers he's the Duke of Gordon, both her life and his will be forfeit in a heartbeat. The only way to keep the lass safe is to ensure she's by his side day and night. But the longer he's with her, the harder it becomes to think of letting her go. Despite all their differences, despite the danger, he will face death itself to make her his.

Critic Reviews:

"Readers will admire plucky Akira, who, despite her poverty, is fiercely independent and is determined to be no man's mistress. The romance is scintillating and moving, enhanced by fast-paced suspense." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

The Highland Duke

First, the cover entranced me so I bought the book. I can't put my finger on exactly why I find this cover so compelling, but I do. I have always loved Ms. Jarecki's books and never been disappointed by any of them. They are always very well written, with strong, well developed characters you can't help but get attached to. Penelope Hardy and Alex Hyde-White both gave 5 * performances for their wonderful rendition in their narration. Not only is this a Do not miss book, but a Do not miss audiobook as well. Excellent!

The story was good but...

The female narrator was good she did the characters with a Scottish accent ,then the male read his part in an English accent. He made it very hard to listen too. I also found the way he read it was kind of snotty.

Fabulous, loved every word.

Any additional comments?

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 86 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

An American heiress nobody wants; a duke every woman desires; and a murder no one expects.

As a young duke, all Nathaniel wants is to be left alone. So when he meets Charlotte, an outspoken American heiress, he is suspicious of her indifference. Too many women have sought - and failed - to catch him.

However, Charlotte is unimpressed by his title. She has no interest in English dukes. All she wants is to leave dreary England and travel to the sunny sands of Egypt to see the grand pyramids.

Unfortunately, a debutante seeking to entrap Nathaniel gets murdered, and his reputation as a confirmed misogynist makes him a suspect. On impulse, Charlotte comes to his aid, unaware that her actions place her in danger, too.

Neither Charlotte nor the duke know that a highwayman interested in rich heiresses is following Charlotte, and that another debutante lies dead in Nathaniel's carriage. And unfortunately, the evidence soon complicates Nathaniel's efforts to prove his innocence and convince Charlotte that he is worthy of her love.

Some nights just don't go as planned.

Cute, but....

Grammatical errors or not, this was a cute book!!! But my heavens how can one woman be SO stupid when she's (supposedly) so smart?! Silliness!

Will I listen again, probably not.

The story was good.

The narrator was good.

The problems were tolerable.

But Charlotte was SO irritating!

Clean.

the book was ok but the audible version was awful

the book was ok, not great but the audible version was awful. the accents came off as whiney. almost turned it off several times

ok story, performance a bit over dramatic

Story premise was good, but it was toooo much drama for my taste. Almost didn't finish it.

narrator

The narrator changed the her own from a Midwest accent to a slightly Sothern accent. going back and forth from one to the other. I would have liked her to pick one and stick with it.

This audiobook was ok, was it not?

This was a good listen, despite the bad American accent and the excessive usage of was it not? and is it not? This book was entertaining enough to distract me for a few days of my commute.

Perfection

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

This was an excellent book. You can't get any better than MB and RL. It's a match made in heaven. A great author/story and a fantastic narrator.

The voices/performance are amazing!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Geraldine. I don't know if it was her dialogue or the way RL performed it. I could just tell RL loved doing the character and getting to read the dialogue.

Most of the characters have some funny lines. I found myself laughing out loud. This book was just fun.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I can't say enough about her as a narrator. The first few times I heard her, I thought she made the men sound stuffy and uptight. That was probably earlier books, as her men's voices are wonderful now. I still cant believe that she voices so many characters in this book. And then those same characters pretend to be other people, so RL has to change the voices slightly for their new "pretend roles". that really takes a lot of vocal skill.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A time to remember

Any additional comments?

This was one of the best books I have listen to. I really loved it and am looking forward to listening to it again. The only issue is that it makes most other regency romances seem less. This author writes so many different plots/situations it's just amazing and shows her talent.

When I finish , I just want to read another MB, but have read all that audible has and will have to wait for the next MB audio. I wish all of the books were available .

Surprisingly Funny Romantic Novel

Would you listen to Slightly Sinful again? Why?

Absolutely. It has everything a book needs to be winner. It was worth all the trouble I had trying to listen to the entire book. I had trouble with the tape's forward and rewind. I finally got to listen to the whole book (I think) by listening from "My Library" instead of from my computer's Audible Manager where it stopped and would not go forward from about the 20 - 21st chapter. I had trouble with rewind when listening from "My Library".

England, 1464. As civil war rages, King Edward IV besieges the northern barons who support the dethroned King Henry VI. Among the last strongholds to fall is Strivling Castle, whose lady gives her life defending her home against the usurpers.

As foretold by her dreams, Lady Catherine Algernon is determined to defend Strivling Castle to the death. But when a besieger saves her life just as her nightmare unfolds, a future is forced on her she never dreamed possible - with a man who believes she is someone else. Who is this enemy who defied fate by averting the mortal blow? And how is she to keep him from laying siege to a heart more guarded than her home?

Successful businessman Collier Morrow has everything he could possibly want, including a priceless, unfinished portrait of the legendary Catherine Algernon. When a lie costs him the woman he loves, he finds himself in the midst of the siege upon Strivling Castle, face-to-face with its defender who is the very image of the love he lost. Given an opportunity to redeem himself, he soon discovers the fiercely rebellious Lady Catherine is not who she appears to be. Should he return to his own time? Or risk the life he knew for another chance at love?

Surprisingly original storyline

After the first book Dreamspell, I thought any sequel would essentially be a rework of the same theme. This was creatively conceived and beautifully delivered. The narrator was again excellent! I wish more authors saw the beauty in providing wonderful literature without debasing language and scenes.

Riveting

Loved the written version. Captivated by the audio edition. Will happily listen again and again.

such a great story!

loved every minute of this... sad to see it end. I highly recommend this book... narration was calm, peaceful, accurate & very enjoyable. I usually listen to audible before bed... so her voice most soothing. Characters were interesting & fresh... not your usual time travel saga! I loved it... so will you!

loved loved it!

The story was captivating and the characters were very enjoying. I was swept away into this story and the first of the series!! And the narrator voice was perfection for all the characters! highly recommend!

Publisher's Summary:

A marriage offer obligated by duty; an acceptance, compelled by desperation.

At two and 20 and scarred from a fire, Philomena Pomfrett is resigned to spinsterhood, but to ease her dying brother's fretting, she reluctantly agrees to attend a London season - to acquire a husband. If she fails, when he dies, with no family and no money, her future is perilous. Betrayed once by love, Philomena entertains no notions of a love-match.

Newly titled, Bradford, Viscount Kingsley, returns to England after a three-year absence. When he stumbles upon Philomena hiding in a secluded arbor during a ball, he doesn't recognize his first love, believing she died in a fire. Yet, something about her enthralls him, and he steals a moonlit kiss. Caught in the act by Philomena's brother, Bradford is issued an ultimatum - a duel or marry Philomena.

Bradford offers marriage, but Philomena rejects his half-hearted proposal, convinced he'd grow to despise her. Then her brother collapses, and she's faced with marrying a man who deserted her once already.

Members Reviews:

Great book and awesome narration..

I love most of these novellas of Collette Cameron, though she has become a hit and miss for me. One book shell have the hero and heroine as beautiful as I want them to be (keep in mind Im shallow) and in the next book they are the opposite. In this one Philomena was full figured/plump, however you want to say it, but since it was less than 100 pages I went ahead and read it. Im beginning to think I should give up on this author. Shes another one that wants to make book characters like the real world and I dont read for that kind of heroine, especially when shes paired with a hero whos drop-dead gorgeous.

Also, I really hated that her brother Giles spent almost the entire book on his deathbed and he was only 27. That totally sucked. If youre going to write less than 100 pages put some angst in it but not someone so young being so darn sick. Just sayin

So, Bradfords uncle was a piece of work, telling Bradford that Philomena and Giles, as well as their parents, were killed in a fire. Only to have Bradford and Philomena meet in the garden at a ball after seven years. They were found in a compromising situation by Philomenas brother and as sick as he was he called Bradford out, or Bradford could marry his sister, Bradford's choice. Giles collapsed before the argument could go much further. Then he remained unconscious for the next ten days. It was a sweet romantic novella and also very sad.

Overall, I really did like this story.

There was no sex but there was desire. It really didnt need sex. And there was no swearing.

AS to the narration: LOVE Stevie Zimmerman. Her voices and emotions while reading are awesome.

Another wonderful book by MB

Where does Slightly Tempted rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

AAA*****

What was one of the most memorable moments of Slightly Tempted?

When the truth was told as to why Gervase was exiled.

Which scene was your favorite?

enjoyed the whole book.

Any additional comments?

I'm glad that this book was read by Rosalyn Landor as she is my favorite narrator.

Wonderful

I love this book! I am so glad that Audible is bringing the all to life through the wonderful talent of Rosalyn Landor. The combination of her narration and Mrs. Balogh's writing is magical.

best one yet

fabulous twist on the usual plots of these sorts of romances. I read a lot of romance and they can get a little repetitive, but the adventure in this one was spectacular.

Loving this series.

Each addition to this series gets better. Enjoyed the time the couple spends in Belgium before Waterloo.

Great read

By far this has been the most enjoyable of the series thus far! Never expected Morgan to be so strong and wise despite her youth and lack of life experiences. Rosalyn was assume in her portrayal of the characters! Well done! Can't wait to begin the next!
