Everyone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London. Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for...well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret...and fears she doesn't know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same - especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide...is she his biggest threat - or his promise of a happy ending?

Members Reviews:

One of the Best of the Series

Would you listen to Romancing Mister Bridgerton again? Why?

Probably. It stands out from many of the other books in the series and was entertaining.

What about Rosalyn Landors performance did you like?

She always delivers a captivating performance. I particularly like how she portrays a jovial mood in characters over the Bridgerton series.

Any additional comments?

This is a solid win for the series. The story and characters were engaging, and the romance differed given the female protagonist doesn't fit the stereotype of this genre. I was a little dismayed at how quickly mercurial Colin became given he's the affable joker of the Bridgerton clan, and I thought Penelope could have shown a little more backbone at times. But alas, I'm being picky. This is worth a listen if you like historical romance.

I do love the Bridgertons! (& Whistledown)

Julia Quinn telling a Bridgerton tale, there isn't another experience quite like it! This is 'regency' romance at its best. And Collin.....

The Whistledown mystery gets revealed, such fun!

Rosalyn Landor is perfect for these books.

There's plenty of chemistry and a fair amount of steam.

Creditworthy as always for this pairing of author and narrator!

Great addition to the Bridgerton series

This was a great addition to the series, Thank goodness audible added after all this time. This was a the story of Colin Bridgeton finding love. It also has an interesting twist about finding out who Miss Whistledown is. Well worth the credit, I couldn't go on to the next book in this series until I listened to this one.

The Wallflower

Would you listen to Romancing Mister Bridgerton again? Why?

Absolutely. Julia Quinn has created a wonderful world full of lovable characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Penelope Featherington was definitely my favorite character. She is smart and funny, and most of all, a good person.

good

one of the better on this series. a bit too much repetitive about the big 'secret'

Publisher's Summary:

Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn't be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation.

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters society just once each year at his stepmother's ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart - and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she's back, and she needs his help. But by saving her, he may just ruin her life all over again.

Members Reviews:

Awesome read and Awesome narration..

The only book Darcy Burke has on Audible and I certainly hope its not the last. This was such a good book. Its about Nora, who was ruined nine years ago when she was caught in the embrace of Lord Haywood, and Lord Haywood was encouraged by Lord Titus St John, who became the Duke of Kendal, to act that rakishly. Titus gave up his rakish ways when his father died but never really got over the guilt he felt over Noras ruination. Nora became Tituss stepmothers companion, and thats where the fun started.

There was no insta-love. The love came about throughout the book. It was just so romantic.

There was no stalker, no mystery, no suspense, no murder, BUT it was a really great story. AND it was only 156 pages. AND I dont feel like I missed a thing. I was told about the beauty of the ballrooms, the colors of the beautiful gowns and what the gentlemen were wearing, without being bogged down with pages and pages of description.

AND, which I LOVE, because I'm shallow, Nora was beautiful and Titus was gorgeous.

My kind of hero and heroine.

There was desire in this story and one awesome sex scene. A romantic sex scene NOT erotic or vulgar.

AS to the narrator: Marian Hussey did an excellent job on all the voices and she read with wonderful emotions.

I hope to see more of Darcy Burke's books on audible very soon.

Great Love Story!

In her second season naive Eleanor Lockhart was caught kissing a charming rake who had promised her marriage, but ran out on her. She was sent home in disgrace. Although living with her father is a lonely existence Eleanor thought she would be able to live out her life in spinsterhood on a small stripend from her father. But it was not to be. Her father lost his money on a business deal, and the only home she had ever known. Her father was moving into a small cottage on his sisters farm with no room for her. There was no money for Eleanor. She finds herself homeless, broke, and with no place to go.

Fortunately she becomes a paid companion to a Duchess and soon becomes her ward. The Duchess takes delight in giving Eleanor a London season, and with the help of her son, the one they call the "Forbidden Duke", Eleanor becomes accepted back into the Ton.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

She was nothing more than retaliation against his enemies, until she became the woman he could not live without.

Set on revenge, Highland warrior Graham MacLeod abducts Isobel Campbell, never anticipating his enemy's daughter would awaken an irresistible hunger in him. But when his beautiful, headstrong captive challenges his will and proves her courage and honor by willingly risking her life for his, he cannot deny the dangerous passion she stirs in him. Suddenly, his agreement to deliver Isobel to the king who wishes to use her holds little appeal. Yet, with a battle for the Scottish throne brewing, he knows the king will not relinquish the pilfered prize. To everyone else, Isobel is a pawn to be manipulated, but the more time Graham spends with her, the less he sees her as an adversary and the more she becomes the forbidden temptation he must resist.

Isobel Campbell is a wanted woman, but not for who she is, only as the heiress of a castle that holds the key to power over the Scottish isles. And when she is kidnapped by her family's bitter enemy, all she wants is to return to the father she idolizes. But she soon discovers that those she considers her protectors may in fact be her biggest threats, and the brave, fierce warrior she fears may actually be the one person she can rely on.

A chasm of distrust and an undeniable yearning flare between Isobel and Graham, along with the promise of unexpected love. However, in order to triumph, they must find a way to vanquish their doubts and build an alliance that can withstand the devastation of war and a king determined to sacrifice anything - and anyone - to keep his throne.

EXCELLENT!

Fabulous story, stellar performance!

This pair delivers once more the kind of medieval romance that I hope each book will be but rarely is.

Read / listen to them all, in order.

loved it

this was an awesome book and would definitely recommend it awesome read well worth the money

A wonderfully touching story.

Tim Campbell has one of those voices just made for narrating. He did not disappoint with this book. I liked everything about this story. Thank you Julie Johnstone.

Dissappointing Heroine

What did you like best about When a Highlander Loses His Heart? What did you like least?

I listened to Book 1 and 2 of this series in a matter of days. I am in love with all the characters and the enthralling plot. I couldn't wait to learn of Graham's romantic fate. I'm sorry to say though, his love interest is not very interesting. She's actually pretty dumb. As the reader, I am having a difficult time trusting her because of her poor actions and whining. After being in love with Bridget, a strong loveable character, how can he be attracted to this woman?

An example of Isobel's stupidity****SPOILER ALERT****: She tries running from Graham (again), even with the enemy close behind. Then she gets captured and is surprised. Duh! Then she stabs Graham and then says, "OH You're bleeding!" Again, DUH. I understand that she has had a sheltered life, living in the convent, but still her naivety was too much. Her character is not very focused. One minute she is meek, the next overly stubborn and for really no apparent reason.

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Dear Lady Truelove... I have fallen in love, truly and completely in love, for the first time. The man whom I hold in such passionate regard, however, is not of my station. He is a painter, a brilliant artist. Needless to say, my family would not approve....

Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn't be caught reading the wildly popular "Dear Lady Truelove" column, but when its advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives. Though Lady Truelove's identity is a closely guarded secret, Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its author.

For Irene, it's easy to advise others to surrender to passion, but when she meets the Duke of Torquil, she soon learns that passion comes at a price. When one impulsive, spur-of-the-moment kiss pulls her into a scorching affair with Henry, it could destroy her beloved newspaper, her career, and her independence. But in the duke's arms, surrender is so, so sweet....

Members Reviews:

OMG! 10 STAR STORY AND 10 STAR NARRATION!

I don't know where to begin. I absolutely loved this story! It was amazing.

These two main characters were fantastic together. Irene was smart, strong, witty and beautiful. No shy simpering female here! Loved her! She was honest and stood her ground. OH and Henry the Duke of Torquil was amazing! I loved his character. He needed those walls knocked down a bit but he was truly a wonderful man. The chemistry between these two was so fantastic and the sex scenes were so well written. Loved these two!

This story was so good. It has to be one of my favorite love stories I have read in a long long time. It was just great!

As for the narration. OMG IT WAS PERFECT! I think Carolyn Morris made this book even better with her voices and characterizations of Irene and Henry. Honestly one of the best narrators and I wish she narrated more and more books. I have listened to almost every book Carolyn Morris narrates and she just gets better and better. The men sound like men, every gets their own voice, the accents are great, she reads with emotion and her reading voice is a joy to listen too.

I know, I know, I am a huge fan of this narrator and I say this every time but every time I listen to her it just makes me happy to be an audible fan!

There are some narrators that shouldn't even be narrating and some narrators that should narrate all the books LOL and @carolyn_voice can narrate all the books!

This is a must listen!

One of the very best...EVER!

I've been reading and listening to historical romance books for years. I'm a bit hard to please these days...very picky! This was so unexpected, so well written, so well narrated and so satisfying! Thank you:)

The 1890's

Loved the narrator (Carolyn morris)

The story was very entertaining and. Informatived about the. beliefs of

England in the 1890's.

It is about the rights. of. Women.

Awesome listen. Fresh ideas in the genre. Funny. Complex characters. Best book in the genre I've listened to in a long time.

In the second in New York Times best-selling author Karen Ranney's scintillating series, society's most coveted duke finds the one thing wealth and position cannot buy - the perfect partner.

For years Martha York has been fascinated by a man she's never met - Jordan Hamilton, the new Duke of Roth and protégé to her inventor father. Could the elusive gentleman possibly live up to his brilliant letters? When Martha travels to his estate to carry out her father's last bequest, she discovers that the answer is a resounding yes, for the duke's scientific mind belies a deep sensuality.

Jordan was determined to complete his prototype alone, but it's impossible to resist the alluring young woman who shows up at his door. Working together, they grow ever closer until a case of mistaken identity leaves him bound to another. A woman's heart may be more complex than the most intricate invention, but Jordan must find a way to win Martha's or lose the only woman who can truly satisfy him.

Members Reviews:

I'm not a fan of scheming other woman books

I also do not like weak heroines. The performance was great. I really liked the narration. The sub plot just wasn't believable enough to carry it off.

BUYER BEWARE HORRIBLE STORYLINE!!

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

NO ONE THIS IS JUST A BAD STORYLINE!!

What was most disappointing about Karen Ranneys story?

WEAK INSURE PLAIN SPINISTER HERION AND DISSAPPOINTING APATHATIC HERO!!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

NO TIM CAMPBELL WAS GOOD BUT HE WAS WORKING WITH A VERY FUSTRATING STORYLINE

What character would you cut from The English Duke?

ALL OF THEM!!

Any additional comments?

The English Duke has to be one of the Worst Stories I have ever listen to. This is a Unhappy story!! I would love to ask Karen Ranney what was she thinking? This is a story full of Angst, Frustrations, Stupid hero Jordan Hamilton Duke of Roth and the mousy, insecure and plain spinster Martha York. Martha had No Gumption!! No Fight in her. Just Blah!!

I have been in bed very sick with phenomena while trying to listen to this story on audible. But I felt so much anger at this story I felt like throwing my kindle.

The story is not just about Jordan the Duke of Roth and Martha York but about her sister Josephine York and Jordan's best friend Reese Burthren. Josephine is a spoiled brat who feels entitled to anything she wants and sees. As soon as she sees Sedgebrook the Historical Prestigious Home of Jordan the Duke of Roths she wants the prestigious home and the title of Duchess of Roth. But Jordan is attracted to the spinster sister Martha. She is an inventor like himself and they work together on a Torpedo Ship invention of Martha's deceased father Matthew and Jordan's. Martha and Josephine are Heiress to a vast fortune. Which in the end Josephine did not deserve and the author should have found away to take away her inheritance from her "Not" father, who was not her real father. She is Illegitimate. Josephine and Reese are despicable characters. After Jordan takes Martha's virginity which was a boring scene he doesn't remember. Until Martha tells the scheming Josephine what happen. Josephine goes to the grandmother and pretends it was her that the Duke Seduced her and took her virginity. Josephine never was a virgin and had been having sex with Jordan "Supposedly" best friend Reese.

Members Reviews:

Second time around, still good

In this second book in the series, the storytelling is still masterful; the performance spellbinding. I did find that a lot of the material from the first book was recycled in this one so would not rate it as highly as the first Still, suspenseful and a highly entertaining listening experience.

One of the best sequels ever written

Which character as performed by James Langton was your favorite?

Every character!! James Langton is phenomenal. How he can transition from character to character so seamlessly amazes me. His performance in this trilogy is truly outstanding. He brings something different to every character that you wouldn't get from just reading the book. Instead of feeling like you're listening to a book, you almost feel emerged in the story and it's happening right in front of you. Bravo to James Langton.

Any additional comments?

Typically I find the second book of a trilogy to be the least enjoyable. Yes, this book is more about the struggles and revelations of the characters. However, Paullina Simons weaves the past and present beautifully together to tell an engrossing continuation of the incredible predecessor, TBH. This story was just as beautiful and exciting as the first. What more to say?! This trilogy is beautiful!!

Wonderful to be back with my friends Tatiana and Alexander!

The Bronze Horseman is one of my favorite books. Second sequel did not disappoint. I couldn't stop listening!

Too much repetition

At first, I appreciated the flashbacks to the first book as it had been a while since I'd read it. However too much of this book was that book. The storyline progressed very slowly.

I personally don't like the narrator's female characters. Too much of the time, the story sounds sappy for lack of a better word. Strong female characters come across as fawning desperate.

However, I like the story overall so I am giving in to temptation and listening to the last book! I just now noticed how many hours ideas and hope the increased number is not because it's going to recount the first two books in such detail.

lovely historical fiction

I loved this romance! historical fiction at its best, brought to life with the most memorable characters!

Love

Can't get enough of The Bronze Horseman series. This was a yummy part 3. I hope they make the movie soon!!!!

EPIC! TIMELESS! ENRAPTURING!

I am so moved by this series of novels. The genius behind this epic series is unbelievable! Full of descriptive language, amazing detail, a breathtaking storyline, outstanding characters and an amazing narrator are a rare combination to be treasured by all listeners!

The author must have poured her soul into writing these three novels. The tremendous amount of research necessary to perfect every minute detail about war, weaponry, geography, religion, culture, family and an innate insight into the human condition make this series an unforgettable experience!

I cannot say enough about the wonders buried within these pages brought to life by a truly gifted narrator!

I will listen over and over and never be able to get enough!

BRAVO!

Couldn't Finish it!

I don't understand how anyone could like this novel. I enjoyed the Bronze Horseman,Tatiana and Alexander was okay, but this one was just horrible. It drags on and on. Most of the novel is about Tatiana and Alexander fighting and having make up sex. Over and over. I got to the point where I just couldn't waste my time listening anymore. Don't bother with this one.

Perfect ending to a great trilogy!

Wish it didn't have to end. I'm in love with the story of Tatiana and Alexander. Paulina Simons is such a gifted writer. She brings her characters to life. This book in particular answered all the questions love stories tend to miss. After they were united.. it's the story of what happened next. I'm grateful for the whole story being told. Not one beat was missed. The narration can not go unmentioned, James Langtons voice makes you fall in love with the characters. He

Love this book, this series

I loved this book and was so sad when it ended but so happy to have read it. James Langton was a fabulous narrator. The first two books in the series should be 'read' first to make this one most powerful as it ties everything together. Love, loved it!

Miranda MacDonnell is on the run. When she inherited a mysterious relic from her mother, she had no idea the dangers it would bring. Now hunted by a relentless foe who will stop at nothing to find her, she has one choice: stow away on the ship of the notorious privateer, Black Hawk.

Rob Hawkins, the half-English privateer known as Black Hawk, has a mission from the Tudor king to find and kill the rogue commander, Sir Ralph Evers. To complete his quest, Hawk must find Miranda, a young woman Evers is pursuing. Caught in a tempest, he is shipwrecked with a "boy" who demonstrates an uncanny ability for saving him. Cast away on the mysterious Isle of the Dead, Hawk realizes that the "boy" traveling with him is actually Miranda MacDonnell, and having her means that Evers will come to him. What begins as a ploy - using her as bait - soon changes, however, as he falls in love with her.

Ancient forces are at work, drawing the four possessors of the relic's power to the Isle of the Dead in the Outer Hebrides for a final battle where good must overcome the forces of evil in this spectacular finale to the Scottish Relic Trilogy.

Really excellent!

Have listened to many audio books and series and this truely is one of the very best. Highly worth your time listening

A very nice finish to the Scottish Relic Trilogy

This was a very enjoyable end to the Scottish Relic Trilogy. I wish it was a bit longer and there was more romance between the two heroes. Over all, it tied in the other two books and characters very well! Saskia Maarleveld is a great story teller and executes flawlessly.

Lovely read!

All three books must be read for them to make sense. But, when you read the three books in order they are a delightful Sumner read. I'm glad I have found Ms McGoldrick.

A Series That I Will Listen To Again!

Where does Tempest in the Highlands rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It's in the top 5 in this genre.

TREASURED GRACE; HEART OF THE FRONTIER, BOOK 1

Enjoyed this book every much.I know others will enjoy the way GOD Works in peoples lives

Well written, but ...

The story flows well and gives a wonderful glimpse of life during that time. Some parts were almost too harsh to bear. The clear voice of Ms Cozart is much appreciated.

Cassandra Campbell is an awesome narrator.

I'll be looking for audible books with Cassandra Campbell as the narrator. She does an awesome job.

Treasured Grace, apt play on words

What did you like about this audiobook?

The naturalness of the portrayal of life intertwined with faith was refreshing.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

The painting of a historical picture of life on the frontier: hardship, fulfillment, death, love, hope, was both believable and fascinating. In the context of normal, but courageous people, the author showed the struggle of some of the pioneers of this great country. With faith and hope individuals ventured into a better future.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The descriptions of conflict between the pioneers and the native people portrayed believable injustices and misunderstandings that contributed to blood shed and sorrow. Hardships of pioneer life were well portrayed, as were rewards and fulfillments.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

The narrator appeared inexperienced to give adequate expression to the power of the story.

A historical novel with Christian values

Grace, the eldest sister, is charged with caring for her younger sisters after their parents death. She uses the traditions of her mother and grandmother to serve others .

Although there are Oregon Trail events and situations that depicted history, the typical happy ever after ending was not typical of real life.

Publisher's Summary:

This new historical romance from May McGoldrick pits one spirited lass against her biggest challenge yet: a Highland lord who has no desire to lose his heart.

Innes Munro has the ability to "read" a person's past simply by touching them, but her gift comes with a heavy price: her freedom. Forced to stay at desolate Castle Girnigoe, Innes never expects to be drawn to the wounded warrior who haunts its dark passages and challenges her at every turn.

Conall Sinclair, the Earl of Caithness, carries the scars of battles with the English and the lash marks of their dungeons, but the wounds that fester within give him even greater pain. Isolating himself from his clan and the rest of the world in a tower perched on the wild Scottish coast, Conall is reluctant to let the spirited Innes close to him, however neither can deny the growing passion that ignites with every look, every touch.

But can Conall ever love a woman who can read his darkest secrets and feel the pain he hides? And can love really tame all fears? As dangerous forces close in, Conall and Innes must take the ultimate leap of faith and forge a bond of trust that will save them both...or lose each other forever.

another wonderful story!

I love this series and feel so fortunate to have found it. On to the last installment - so bittersweet as I know I will devour that one as quickly as I did the first two. Can't the stories continue with their children??

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and absolutely love the way Saskia Maarleveld narrates and brings the authors words to life! I am on the hunt to listen to anything this teams writes/speaks!!

I gave the story 4 stars only because I missed the humor of the first book - it was still a terrific tale but longed for the sarcasm and humor of the first one.

Well done and thank you!!

Enjoyable listen

Only recently discovered this author but look forward to more offerings. The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices.

one of the best series I have every listened !

Where does Taming the Highlander rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I waited until I had listened to all three books before I did a review. I felt like it was one long book that I could not wait to finish. I listened to all three in a span of three days

What other book might you compare Taming the Highlander to and why?

I have read other highlander books but I cannot say that any have been quite like this series. The only other book I enjoyed almost as much as this is by Tracy Brogan (HIghland Surrender) I have also enjoyed Maya Banks and Julie Garwood's HIghland books/series

Which scene was your favorite?

I really cannot name one; there were so many.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, yes and yes again

Any additional comments?

This book captured my attention from the very beginning. It is fanciful; however, draws you in. There is love, pain and triumph at the end. I can't wait until more of Ms. McGoldrick's books are available to listen to on audible. The narrator was outstanding and I know I enjoyed listening because of her. However, the storyline itself was compelling and I believe the books are just as good

Great listen!

I really enjoyed listening to the first two books and am excited to listen to the next in the series. Since I seldom leave a review, shows how much I enjoyed.
