Publisher's Summary:

The New York Times best-selling author of Otherwise Engaged and The Mystery Woman presents an all-new novel of intrigue and murder set against the backdrop of Victorian London.

The Kern Secretarial Agency provides reliable professional services to its wealthy clientele, and Anne Clifton was one of the finest women in Ursula Kern's employ. But Miss Clifton has met an untimely end - and Ursula is convinced it was not due to natural causes.

Archaeologist and adventurer Slater Roxton thinks Mrs. Kern is off her head to meddle in such dangerous business. Nevertheless, he seems sensible enough to Ursula, though she does find herself unnerved by his self-possession and unreadable green-gold eyes. If this mysterious widowed beauty insists on stirring the pot, Slater intends to remain close by as they venture into the dark side of polite society.

Together they must reveal the identity of a killer - and to achieve their goal they may need to reveal their deepest secrets to each other as well.

Miserable narration

What would have made Garden of Lies better?

The narrator makes the heroine sound like a whiny teenager. It's so bad that her accent sounds like pseudo English. Do the authors ever screen the narrators...someone should have! I honestly don't think I will be able to finish this book with the "fingernails on a blackboard" voice. I'm very, very disappointed

Has Garden of Lies turned you off from other books in this genre?

I will certainly screen any of the authors other books much more carefully. I am a strong fan of these series, but not if done by this narrator.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Louise Jane Underwood?

Anyone

What character would you cut from Garden of Lies?

The narrator

Any additional comments?

Have it redone.

narration overly dramatic

My apologies to Ms Quick, I usually love her stories but this narration really made it awful. Ms Underwood read the entire text as if it were a dramatic declaration!!!!!!!

Great book, bad performance

The performance greatly detracted from the book. The narrator did a terrible job in developing distinctive voices; the lower class characters all sounded the same and the upper class sounded the same. The American accents were dreadful. It made for a rather unenjoyable listen to one of my favorite authors.

Good Story, great characters..Horriable narration

If you could sum up Garden of Lies in three words, what would they be?

Loved the characters, the Narration almost ruind it. Once again a great story, awesome subcharacters but where they got this narrator is beyond me. It sounded as if she were reading a text book. and the worst 'American accent" EVER. the voiced main characters seem to be detached ...as if they were commenting on the weather. I bought and read the book after this. they story is great.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her voice is detached and cold. like she is reading a text book.

Publisher's Summary:

Gwyneth of the Cunninghams has one goal: to kill Duff Erskine, the corrupt merchant who murdered her father and brother. The last thing she needs is a distraction, but fate deals her one in the form of Logan Ramsay, a maddeningly handsome Highlander who waylays her mission.

Logan and his brother-in-law seek her help in rescuing two bairns and spiriting them away to the Highlands. When Gwyneth agrees to help, she little expects Logan to assist her with her own mission....

Logan Ramsay never thought that a lass would steal his heart, but Gwyneth of the Cunninghams poses an intriguing challenge from the moment he meets her. As fierce a warrior as any man of his acquaintance, the lithe, dark-haired beauty is one of a kind. Determined to make her his own, Logan will do anything to help her overcome the wounds of her past...even if it means allowing her to endanger herself in a final confrontation with her nemesis.

The sparks between Gwyneth and Logan are immediate and blinding, but if they survive their mission to take down Erskine, they face another challenge: Will they find it in their wild hearts to relinquish their independence and build a life together?

Contains mature themes.

With no business lusting after a baron's daughter, Bran decides to return to Raasay - until his laird pledges Bran's services in the fight to reinstate Mary, Queen of Scots to the throne.

Enya has no deference for the lines of nobility, or for the Great Divide that separates Lowlanders from Highlanders. The way Sir Bran's eyes hunger for her ignites an internal fire Enya cannot quell.

The Highland Henchman: Highland

By Amy Jarecki

A captivating adventure.

True love can conquer all in this breathtaking and thrilling story of Bran and Enya. A concept older than time of society's expectations for whom one is expected to marry, but the heart only see's and feels love, not one's station or status. Bran MacLeod is born of low birth. His mother works in the kitchen and he is but a henchman to his Laird. Then his eyes see Enya Ross, a beauty far above Bran's station. Enya notices this big, handsome highlander and can't seem to take her eyes off him. As Bran does everything to keep his distance from Enya, she does everything to get closer to him.

Title: His Forever Valentine

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes

Publisher's Summary:

What happens when meddling mothers order their sons mail order brides and not tell them? It happened to Clayton Riley, it happened to his brother Spencer, and now it's Matthew Quinn's turn. There was just one, little, problem. He was already in love...

Rose Smith didn't know what to expect when she signed on the dotted line at the Ridgley Mail Order Bride Service, all she knew was that adventure awaited her in the wild west! And what an adventure she got when she showed up in the town of Nowhere!

Members Reviews:

Fabulous

I loved it from the beginning to the exciting end...and what an ending it was!!!

A great story

This is a wonderful story that had me laughing till I had tears running down my face. I definitely recommend!

Poor Narrator. All of the young men were made to sound old. Would have been a cute story except for narrator.

Very bad narrator. It would have been a better book if it were told by different narrator.

A Lovely Story

Would you listen to His Forever Valentine again? Why?

I am an avid re-reader, so I'm certain that I will be a re-listener, as well. This is a sweet story full of mis-communication and misconceptions. Beware of gossips in the town of Nowhere, Washington. They've been known to drive a man to the altar.

What other book might you compare His Forever Valentine to and why?

Like many of Kit Morgan's holiday bride books, the groom is unaware of his pending nuptials. This story has a twist - two couples.

What does Michael Rahhal bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Michael Rahhal is a master of voices. All of the characters, both female and male, have a distinctive voice, accent, and manner of phrasing. If I didn't know that it was a single person reading, I would assume the story was being performed by a small cast.

Any additional comments?

You might be tempted to dislike Matthew Quinn, but give the poor boy a chance. He'll get it together - eventually.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-15

Publisher: Tamara Leigh, Author

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 172 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In The Unveiling, The Yielding, The Redeeming, and The Kindling, the lives of the formidable Wulfrith family unfold during Duke Henry's battle for the English throne and his succession. The fifth book in the series, The Longing, belongs to the last Wulfrith brother, the enigmatic Sir Everard, and the much maligned Lady Susanna de Balliol.

The one he can never forgive

For years, Lady Susanna de Balliol has borne the blame for betrayal - well-earned, though not as believed by the man she can never forget. Now her nephew must prove his legitimacy or lose his claim to his father's lands. When Susanna is forced to flee with the boy following an attempt on his life, will the one man who knows the truth of her nephew's birth grant them sanctuary within his walls? More, will he aid the woman whom he believes cost him the love of his life?

The one she can never forget

Eleven years - a long time to have loved and lost. Certain he will not love again, Everard Wulfrith has committed his life to the command of Wulfen Castle. But when the girl whose betrayal he can never forgive appears to him as a grown woman and demands he atone for his sins, can he lay bare his past to aid her nephew? And what of his unexpected feelings for the scandalous Susanna de Balliol whose indiscretions may very well put his own to shame?

Members Reviews:

The Last Brother

I love the story of Everard and Susanna. It is sweet and deep with love, forgiveness and redemption. I loved seeing the Wulfrith family all together as I've grown so fond of them over the years. As always, this was a beautifully written book. And, the narrator is one of a kind. If I had my wish, Judas and Squire Charles would have their own book. Can't you see them growing as close as brothers?

Wonderful addition to this already powerful series.

It was okay

The first three books were the best. I felt that this book dragged quite a bit.

this is my favorite

this is the last book of the age of faith series. and it is my favorite. read and find out why!

You've Done It Again, Leigh and Agliotta!

If you could sum up The Longing in three words, what would they be?

Humbling; Changing; Moving!

What did you like best about this story?

It shows how many people blame others for something, perhaps for years, that never happened, and the tremendous load that person might have carried because of the wrongful blame.

Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah Agliottas other performances before? How does this one compare?

All of the Age of Faith series, plus three more and this one was just as outstanding as the others. She does an amazing job!

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

Loved when Everard's eyes are opened to himself. I must say, I teared up, and then wished I could have written a few parts of the book :-) I also loved when Everard's brother, Abel, arrives on the scene.

Any additional comments?

Every time I come to audible, which is often, I always look for Tamara Leigh. Her books are clean, enjoyable, and I also look to be sure Mary Sarah Agliotta is the narrarator.

Luscious

Any additional comments?

I have listened to several of Ms Leigh's audio books now, and the experience is always delightful. The narration combined with the writing style that perfectly captures the medieval era adds to storylines that are made fresh in the telling.

Title: The Bluestocking and the Rake

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 296 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

2014 Winner--Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award--Romance

The earl of Marcham has decided to put the excesses of his colorful youth firmly behind him so he may find a wife and beget himself an heir. But a straitlaced spinster may stand in his way after she releases a morality pamphlet exposing some of his most private misdemeanors. Determined to have his revenge and teach her a much-needed lesson, the earl decides that his best course of action is to seduce her....

Miss Georgiana Blakelow has long given up the hope of marriage. Instead she's resigned to serving as governess to her siblings and saving the family estate from ruin. She might succeed if only the wretch of an earl who won the estate at the gaming table would be reasonable.

As the sparks fly, and as Lord Marcham finds himself unexpectedly attracted to Miss Blakelow, she becomes even more determined to keep him at a safe distance. The closer he gets, the more likely he is to discover that his bluestocking isn't all that she seems.

Members Reviews:

Such an annoying heroine!

The premise seemed promising, a classic "fiesty plain looking girl with a secret" meets "rake ready to reform" sort of tale. Sadly for a romance, this couple were remarkably unsexy, and their few moments of passion tepid. The rake wasn't very rakish, and the central female not much of a bluestocking. Her fiestiness tricked away after the first chapter, the one word description for her would have to be "drippy".

Solutions to the her situation were repeatedly offered but she kept refusing them, willing to see the family (who we are told she would sacrifice everything for) thrown out of their home. The plot twists and new elements that kept being introduced sometimes felt like they were ideas for whole other novels, and just didn't fit this one. Also the unlikely (especially for the time) behavior and attitudes of the secondary characters constantly jarred me out of the story.

Finally, the idea that putting on glasses and a hat makes one unrecognizable even to former lovers and friends who've known you since childhood is just silly.

A Good Surprise!

The premise is far-fetched, the character's motivations are silly, and the resolution to every conflict, including the big reveal, is oddly simple, and strangely endearing. There were moments when I wondered what kind of story I was reading! Ultimately, I really enjoyed the ride.

There is humor and tenderness and a great romance, and I found it all hugely entertaining. Actually, there is so much to recommend this book that at times I marveled at the author's talent and creativity.

Perhaps, not everyone will "get" it, but I love Lisa Kleypas, and I think it's kind of great.

A real standout is the perfect narration by Michael Page. I've never cared much for male narrators reading HR's, (with the VERY notable exceptions of Nicholas Boulton and Tristan Hunt), but I'm happy to say Michael Page was phenomenal with this book, and I'll keep my eye out for more HRs read by him, too.

This is one for the reread pile, right after I plow through my Lisa Kleypas collection!

Recommended!

Great

I enjoyed the narrator, the story and the interaction between the characters. Glad I bought and listened to it after reading the other reviews.

Nice

Fun story! Love how the heroine was conflicted and human. She was a little Annoying at parts but over all good book.

3.5 Mixed Feelings.

Publisher's Summary:

Kit Morgan delivers yet another fun romp through the old west! Enjoy this sweet, mail order bride story!

Sheriff Spencer Riley and his mother recently ordered his big brother Clayton a mail order bride for Christmas! Too bad neither one of them bothered to tell Clayton, so imagine his surprise, and Spencer thought it to be one of the funniest things ever...until it happened to him! "After all," his mother told him. "If Clayton can have a mail order bride for Christmas, why can't you have one for New Year's?" So much for the annual scarf and mitten set she usually got for him this time of year! Just what sort of mail order bride was HE going to get?

Elle Barstow spent most of her life at Winslow's Orphanage but now it was time to leave and either find a job (of which there were none) become a mail order bride, or take to the streets of New Orleans and hope for the best. Becoming a mail order bride looked like the safest option, but Elle soon learned things don't always go the way we think they will. Unwittingly involved in a horrendous encounter before she leaves New Orleans, Elle can't possibly marry her future husband when she doesn't know if she's considered guilty of murder! She figures her only chance is to avoid the law, not to mention her future husband, until she finds out what really happened. Easier said than done. Her future husband IS the law!

Great story!

Members Reviews:

Heartfelt Highlander

I almost passed on this second book in the Clan Grant series because the ratings were all over the scale, but Im glad I took a chance.

This book is different than many Highlander stories in that it concentrates more on issues within the clan rather than Highland battles between clans. Its a touching story with many heartwarming scenes that, unless your heart is made of stone, are sure to bring a tear to your eye.

Quade is Laird to his clan and deeply loves his family. Brenna is a revered and dedicated healer who doesnt back down from a challenge. Their romance is sweet and progresses into a deep and tender love. The secondary characters add charm, wit, and many poignant moments to this emotional story.

This one is worth a try if you enjoy tenderheartwarming stories. ;-)

awesome

first book in a long time I couldn't stop listening to. while this is the second book in a series, i look forward to hearing more.

Fun and easy read

What made the experience of listening to Healing a Highlander's Heart the most enjoyable?

Good story line, fun and fast. Ending was not predictable. Really enjoyed it!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved the children and the main character was very smart and strong.

What about Antony Fergusons performance did you like?

He did a good job, his voices were not extraordinary but were believable.

Love those Highlanders!

Would you listen to Healing a Highlander's Heart again? Why?

I've actually listened to this book two times already. Very enjoyable story line and a good narrator makes the book a good read! Characters continue from one book to the next but each story stands alone as well.

What did you like best about this story?

Enjoyed finding characters I'd read about in a prior Highlander book so it's on going but the story line stands on it's own and each story is unique.

What about Antony Fergusons performance did you like?

He does a good job differentiating between the characters so you know who's talking etc.

Another Engaging Highland Story

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

I would recommend this book to any Highland romance reader. It has action, suspense, romance - everything you need for a good read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Breanna was the main character and I was already interested in reading more about her after reading Rescued By a Highlander, the previous one in this series.

What does Antony Ferguson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I love his accent when he is doing the dialog of the men and reading non-dialog.

Born with the mark of the devil, Merrin has been hidden on the islet of Eilean Fladda for near 20 years. When the body of a Highlander washes ashore, the innocent lass presumes him dead. Brushing the hair from the rugged warrior's face, her fingers connect with warm flesh. Warm.

Ian MacLeod wakes to a woman so radiant, he believes her an angel. But when the lass recoils from him, he fears she knows of his evil deeds.

But there's a henchman after Ian's head, and when that man learns the Highlander is still alive, the couple is forced to flee Merrin's sheltered world. Fighting for survival, destiny demands they each face their demons, but doing so may forever ruin them both.

Members Reviews:

Excellent!

What made the experience of listening to Beauty and the Barbarian the most enjoyable?

Since the narrator is Brad Wills, it's always a great pleasure to listen to his voice! He really captivates us but his strong accent and beautiful intonations.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My hero is Ian MacLeod, because Ms. Jarecki created a character filled with passion and humor!

Which character as performed by Brad Wills was your favorite?

The character is like best was of course Ian. The narrator chose the perfect voice for him!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

First, when Ian is found wounded on the shore by the beautiful Merrin; then, while they spent some precious moments together in her cabin, away from others. They were so cute together.

Any additional comments?

Amy Jarecki is a very talented author of Scottish adventures and a passionate writer. We can feel it in her writing! I recommend her books, without hesitation!

Beauty and the Barbarian

What did you love best about Beauty and the Barbarian?

Amy Jarecki can write just about anything and I think she would reel me in. This book was great. I liked that in the end everyone had to eat their words. How anyone would allow anyone else to be treated like this is beyond me, but it happens even to this day. This is a wonderful story about Ian MacLoed trying to earn his place back in his clan. His brother, the clan Chief, doesn't know what is going on but learns through sources. Ian is on the run from his uncle. His uncle has a death sentence for him, for taking his bride and sending her back to her clan seriously embarrassing him. The Heroine is Merrin, and she was born with a birthmark. Since her mother died due to childbirth sickness everyone blamed the baby, so she and her father lived on a small island away from the clan. She was considered the devils spawn, a witch. Alone and sad, she struggles through her days on Fladda. The story developed into a most enjoyable read and one I know you will truly enjoy.

What does Brad Wills bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Brad Wills has a great voice and he does a wonderful job of bringing Amy Jareckis story to life with the many voices he has to perform to make the story interesting and enjoyable. Brad Wills is fantastic with his portrayal of characters in this book. You know who he is portraying with just his different voices.

Members Reviews:

THANK GOODNESS FOR A CHANGE OF NARRATOR!

I'm so delighted that Polly Lee was chosen to narrate this book. Such a nice break from Ashford MacNab. I sincerely hope Hannah Howell continues this series and I especially hope Polly Lee is chosen to narrate.

Favorite series by Hannah Howell

I will miss the Wherlocks and hope Hannah will write more in this series as soon as possible. This book was just as good as the previous ones. Highly recommended.

Action packed adventure of love!

Love this book of intriguing characters. Love the witty children and the storyline. The permanent ghost is an added delight that make listening totally enjoyable. This whole series is great, but this book is the outstanding. Go Hannah Howell !!! Your new fan.

book cover

I was very disappointed in the book cover. it looked nothing like O'ryan's character is described. I tend to use visual a lot. I wish they just used a body if they were going to put a picture on it.

Great story

Would you consider the audio edition of If He's Daring to be better than the print version?

Not better really, but just different. It is nice to be able to listen to the story while doing other tasks.

What other book might you compare If He's Daring to and why?

Any in this series... As they are all excellent!

What about Polly Lees performance did you like?

She did well shifting between the various voices from child, to men and women. I believe she was knowledgeable also of pronunciations and correct dialect.

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

I very much enjoyed the book and emotions are always touched in Hannah Howell's books. I just can't think of one particular incident at the moment.

Any additional comments?

Nice cover, but wish his hair was longer as was described in the book.
