    Publisher's Summary:
    Start of a delightful new series from historical romance author Jen Turano.
    Miss Permilia Griswold may have been given the opportunity of a debut into New York high society, but no one warned her she wasn't guaranteed to "take". After spending the last six years banished to the wallflower section of the ballroom, she's finally putting her status on the fringes of society to good use by penning anonymous society gossip columns under the pseudonym "Miss Quill".
    Mr. Asher Rutherford has managed to maintain his status as a reputable gentleman of society despite opening his own department store. While pretending it's simply a lark to fill his time, he has quite legitimate reasons for needing to make his store the most successful in the country.
    When Permilia overhears a threat against the estimable Mr. Rutherford, she's determined to find and warn the man. Disgruntled at a first meeting that goes quite poorly and results in Asher not believing her, she decides to take matters into her own hands, never realizing she'll end up at risk as well.
    As Asher and Permilia are forced to work together and spend time away from the spotlight of society, perhaps there's more going on behind the scenes than they ever could have anticipated....

    Charming story...
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Yes I would. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I've always enjoyed historical fiction and this one was no exception. It was a very charming story.
    What other book might you compare Behind the Scenes to and why?
    I am not sure. I can definitely say that I found the story to be very chaste and engaging. I recall laughing out loud several times and it definitely improved my commute.
    Which character as performed by Lauren Ezzo was your favorite?
    I liked the main character the best but she did a great job on the male voices, I know that sometimes it's hard to do that well, but she was excellent.
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    Faith and diligence always leads to success.
    Any additional comments?
    You don't have to be a Christian to enjoy this book, but I found that it re-enforced my faith as I've also seen God's influence in my own life. This was a very enjoyable listen and greatly helped my commute.
    Sweet, funny and delightful
    Set in New York, Permilia overhears is an independent, outspoken young lady who has no problem speaking her mind whether it's proper or not. Asher Rutherford, a high born man, whose family suffered a financial blow, struggled to keep them out of poverty by becoming a businessman and made a big. It was at a masquerade ball that Permillia overhears a plot to kill Asher and thus it begins. This story will make you laugh time and time again. A sweet and delightful love story you will enjoy. Whether you prefer to listen to the story--the narrator did a great job-- or read it yourself, you will truly enjoy this novel.
    Delightful, clean, and witty.
    This is the first book of Jen Turano, that I have come across. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. She was able to write about a strong women caricature, and still put a sweet love story in there too. This book has humor, lovable caricatures, a love story, and a mystery too. It's also very clean.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A dark and stormy knight.... No really. It was storming... and rather dark in the Tower of London. An unexpected trip to London was supposed to be the perfect distraction from Anna's stress-filled life. Minding her own business, drooling over so many jewels, Anna Waters winds up hopelessly lost and finds herself locked in the infamous tower.
    Who knew an antique locket would lead her to a knight with a heart buried underneath 30 feet of stone?
    Searching for a way out, she stumbles over an antique locket with half the picture missing. Lightning strikes, and when Anna wakes, she's still in the tower... 700 years in the past.
    She crossed an ocean of time for him. Can she save them both before it's too late?
    John Thornton almost lost his head and saw his family ruined all because of a woman. Presumed dead, he became the infamous bandit of the wood. Captured and awaiting execution in the Tower of London, a strange woman appears out of the darkness. As they flee across England, John finds himself chipping away at the stone surrounding his heart and longing for a life with his mysterious rescuer - no matter the cost.

    I love time travel stories and the reviews were pretty good ...
    I love time travel stories and the reviews were pretty good for this author so I thought I would give this bundle a try. I enjoyed the stories very much. Ms. Luhrs is a good story teller. There were some typos and grammar errors but that is bad editing. Her writing style is enough detail to allow you to set the scene in your mind and then the story goes on. No many long drawn out situations that take more than a few pages to cover. Nothing wrong with that and it does make the flow of the story move at a quick pace. While I have other authors I feel are more creative writers I did adjust to her style quickly and look forward to reading more of her books. I didn't go into story details as others cover that pretty well but I hope this was helpful. I am not the best at writing reviews and horrible at story telling. I leave that to others who do it much better!
    Great story
    A great adventure which leads to a big climax, really enjoyed the characters and of course the world of medieval England always comes to life with her stories . A real disappointment was to end it sort of abruptly after John and Anna finally get the chance to beat the odds. (don't want to spoil the plot here) I felt it just dropped off and I didn't get invited to the wedding !
    Started off great
    I loved the synopsis, and couldn't wait to dive in. I love how the story started out and truly loved every minute of it for awhile. However, after awhile the story felt disjointed. I felt like I was missing pieces to the story, and I never felt a connection in the romance department. The author never let's the reader fully experience the couple together in flirty or romantic ways. Heck, at one point he had no idea she was missing for a full week from his castle. Anyway- the reader only sees the couple in dangerous moments, a few moments with his siblings, and then lots of time jumps.
    Superior Read
    Cynthia Luhrs is AMAZING! Have read her "Merriweather" series several times. Reading any good book once is never enough. The first
    time one reads through to get the "what happens next" ideas.

    Publisher's Summary:
    The enchanting story of Caroline's daughter!
    Grey St. James is a winner of the K.I.S.S. Hero Award from Romantic Times.
    1814: Grey St. James has escaped from Napoleon's prison on the rocky isle of Mont St. Michel. Desperate and dangerous, he is a far cry from the rakish nobleman who broke hearts in Regency London.
    In her uncle Nicholai's French chateau, Natalya Beauvisage is writing a novel. At 26, she is beautiful but hardly marriageable, for she is devoted to being an author. However, when a potently attractive stranger appears to hold her at knifepoint, Natalya thrills to a flesh-and-blood man.
    Grey must escape from France and Natalya longs to return to America, so they form an unlikely alliance, traveling through France, Regency England, and across the ocean to the Beauvisage home in Philadelphia. Natalya is caught up in a passionate fantasy that surpasses any she could imagine, but Grey's heart is imprisoned by dark secrets that must be uncovered before he can love again....
    Reunite with the couples from Caroline, Touch the Sun, and Spring Fires in this enchanting & witty historical romance!
    Critic Reviews:
    "Now a new generation of readers can discover the magic of Cynthia Wright and the rest of us can fall in love all over again!" (New York Times Best-selling Author Susan Elizabeth Phillips)
    Members Reviews:
    Another Delightful Wright/Campbell Pairing!
    I first met Cynthia Wright's NATALYA in my trade paperback copy, which I was very excited about because I was able to get a matching copy of her mother's story, CAROLINE. (These little details are very important to us obsessive readers.) I then got to revisit Natalya Beauvisage in her spiffy new ebook format as HER DANGEROUS VISCOUNT. And now I was able to pair another reread of the story with a listen to the eaudio format.
    Twenty-six year-old Natalya, daughter of Alec and Caro Beauvisage, has been living in France for the past six years as an authoress in her Uncle Nicholai's Chateau du Soleil. While she loves France and loves writing, she is starting to miss her family and home in Philadelphia. Grey St. James has escaped from prison and makes his way to Chateau du Soleil for assistance in getting back to England. Since Grey held Natalya at knife point during their first meeting, needless to say she is not fond of him. But it seems that they can help each other get to England and then go on to Philadelphia.
    As to be expected, Cynthia Wright blends humor and meticulous details into the story. This historical period is the War of 1812/Napoleonic Wars and the reader gets a strong feeling of time and place. Whether it is your first read/listen or your fifth, HER DANGEROUS VISCOUNT is an engrossing story, giving you a chance to revisit old friends from other Rakes and Rebels books and cheer on Natalya and Grey.
    Cynthia Wrights storytelling paired with Tim Campbells narration are both engaging and satisfying. I now find that I cannot resist Tim Campbell reading Cynthia Wrights books. To say I love his voice would not be accurate. The correct version of that sentence is that I love his voiceS. Campbell makes each character very distinct and gives him/her their own voice.

    Resumen del editor:
    Todo lo que de verdad se hace por amor se hace en silencio.Los amores perdidos es una historia de amor, esperanza y libertad, una ventana a seis décadas de la historia de España, un elenco de personajes inolvidables que se funden en una audio novela que deja huellas. Los amores perdidos es la historia de los jóvenes Arturo Quíner y Alejandra Minéo, de su relación imposible y de lo que tuvieron que sacrificar por ella. Y de dos familias, los Quíner y los Bernal, enemigas eternas. Y es también la historia de un pueblo canario, El Terrero, de héroes anónimos y caciques ambiciosos, donde las pasiones son arrebatadas, los secretos se desvelan entre susurros y las venganzas se cobran con sangre.Los amores perdidos es el poderío de Dolores Bernal, la matriarca despótica que controla el pueblo con mano de hierro; la bondad de Alfonso Santos, el honorable y firme médico que conoce el punto débil de todos sus vecinos; el valor de Rita Cortés, la chica rebelde y excesiva, que huye a la Península para encontrar algo muy diferente a lo que esperaba; o la tenacidad de Ismael Quíner, el noble enamorado que lo ofrecerá todo por la supervivencia de su estirpe.Los amores perdidos es un épico y colosal tapiz tejido con estas y otras muchas historias, que afectarán a la pasión de Arturo y Alejandra a lo largo de los años y que les llevará del Terrero a Nueva York, del enamoramiento al desencanto, de la separación al reencuentro para finalmente enfrentarse a un destino incierto.

    Los amores perdidos porque permanecen guardados pero son la mejor medicina que necesita el alma para conservar su integridad
    Miguel de León. Los amores perdidos. Barcelona: Plaza Janés, 2016. 618 pp.
    Los amores perdidos de Miguel de León es una novela histórica, romántica y detectivesca en la cual se presenta la fuerte repercusión de la dictadura franquista en un pueblo de las Islas Canarias. Los protagonistas son Arturo Quíner y su esposa Alejandra. Ambos alcanzan a vivir en las postrimerías del régimen cuando se pretende instaurar la democracia. Ellos intentan hacer la diferencia en su entorno pero lo que impera en todos los niveles sociales es la corrupción política, económica y moral donde poco vale el sistema judicial. Tal pareciera que de no ser por la conciencia histórica de algunos de los personajes descendientes de quienes murieran en la Guerra Civil Española no habría esperanza para el triunfo de la justicia.
    Cabría plantearse la comparación entre la pareja de los protagonistas con la pareja constituida por la madre de Alejandra, Rita Cortés y Francisco Minéo como personajes dobles pero también como contrafiguras.

    Royal Duty Book 2
    This is my first book from this series and it was pretty good. The story was unique and kept me hooked all the way to the conclusion. There were some twists and turns and I was quite shocked with some of the developments.
    Narration was pretty good and brought the story to life. There were some male voices that were pretty creepy!
    The story wraps up and there are no cliffhangers. I was really surprised with how the story concluded though. There are some sad moments but the story is well written and moves along at a good pace.

    Interesting story dynamically read
    I found myself wanting to know what happens next. Dynamic narrator, good expression. Interesting Scottish accent for the Norwegian, though. still, the accent and voice intonation for each character was distinct.
    Great!
    I really enjoyed this unique story. It's the first book I've listened to by this author and I really enjoyed the writing. The narration was perfect - she really did a great job with the various voices!
    I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it.
    Fantastic
    Loved this story! Great characters and a high action storyline made for a very entertaining listen. Fantastic narrator as well, different accents and voices for each character. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
    Not what I expected.
    I found the book slow to begin with, but it picks up as the story progresses. One reviewer said that the story was predictable and it is in some places but their are one or two twist that I did not see coming.
    The narrator was OK when she was voicing the females characters, but I thought she did not do the male characters well.

    The beginning of the Forbes legacy
    This is a delightful novella and hopefully a prequel to more stories about the Forbes family and their history. As with all of Kathryn Le Veque's books, the characters are strongly developed and their personalities are such that it's easy to become emotionally invested in them and their outcome. This is the first time I believe that I've listened to Nick Cracknell as a narrator. I must say, I most definitely give him 5 stars for his wonderful performance in bringing the story and characters to life. I look forward to hearing more of his work. This is an awesome audiobook and easy to recommend, especially to any who are unsure if they will enjoy the audible experience.
    A Great Short Story
    I really enjoy this author, but especially like these short stories. I can listen to them all in 1 afternoon & not forget where I left off...this was just a great story & well narrated...I loved it!
    What a great paring for this novella
    This is such a good story and Nick Cracknell did an absolutely awesome job! Really hope this story continues with Jackstons son Dunnan and the narrator still Nick Cracknell. Well done!

    Annabelle Green needs a husband - and quickly. To inherit the only home she's ever known, she must be married by her 25th birthday.

    Booklist)
    Members Reviews:
    Simply cute...
    But not cutesy! I disagree with the reviewers who say neither character got over their previous 'loves'. Totally untrue. Both situations were appropriately resolved and did not reflect into the outcome other than exactly how they should have.
    This book is no literary masterpiece, it's a regency era romance novel! And you get EXACTLY what you should!!!!!
    But you also get the pleasure of hearing Barrie Kreinik perform it!
    Stream yes, sex, not really. It's not perfectly clean but it's not full of vulgarity either.
    Creditworthy? I vote yes.
    waste of time & money
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    If anything was interesting this would have been a better story. It was very boring and the same internal dialogue over and over again. They have one kiss and the hero keeps referring to it.
    All the things the h/h do seem faulse, as she never has a chaperone, which is out of place for this time.
    I actually liked the man the heroine loves, so the hero seems a little cruel to try to steal a woman away from a wounded/scarred war hero.
    What do you think your next listen will be?
    not sure
    Which scene was your favorite?
    I didn't like the story enough to have a favorite scene.
    The publisher note says it has mature content, but I could not find it. I think this was put there to try to market the book. It has very little contact between the h/h. There is more licking and stroking between the heroine and her dogs!
    What character would you cut from The Earl Claims a Bride?
    I don't think cutting characters can improve this book.
    If it is anyone that is a little creepy is the heroine's father. He is basically selling his daughter because he has been so stupid to lose all his money and is in debt.
    Any additional comments?
    I read the reviews and they keep talking about how nice/funny this book was. I can't understand what they mean. There is nothing witty or charming about this story. Anyone that thinks this dialogue is clever banter has never read other regency authors i.e. Garwood, kleypas, balogh, hoyt, heath etc.
    The author seems to add points that don't make any sense or move the plot forward.

    A ridiculously good audio book
    What made the experience of listening to Wanted, a Gentleman the most enjoyable?
    The voice acting in this was so above par and complimented the great storytelling perfectly.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Martin St. Vincent. Man, he was just so well written. With his whole background as a slave, coupled with his mixed emotions about that time and his owners, he just really stood out in this book.
    Have you listened to any of Greg Patmores other performances before? How does this one compare?
    This is the first audio book of his that I've read. It was phenomenal, though.
    Any additional comments?
    While I have to say that I loved the ebook version of this story, it has got nothing on the audio book. If you combine the great writing style of K.J. Charles and the highly enjoyable voice narration of Greg Patmore, you were bound to have a hit. But I never expected just how well they would compliment each other and take this story past what individually they could have been.
    Up first, lets just get this out of the wayas in, come on I just wanna talk about this!the story.
    Loved the whole premise of this book. It basically takes one of my favorite historical-tropes, the whole running away to get married thing, and turns it on its head so instead of being with the elopers, we are with the chasers. Thought this was very cool, because it is not a part of the trope we get to see very often, but it also just probably one of the few ways you can have this kind of story with two dudes in that time period.
    On top of all that goodness you have some excellent writing in regards to both Theo and Martins pasts. They are certainly different in some significant ways, but I also loved the parts where they kinda mirrored each other and how that helped bridge the pretty big gap between them. Also, darn good writing in regards to Martins time as a slave. I really liked the mixed emotions that came out here in this story. How he feelsrightlyenraged at what was done to him, but also guilty that he was relieved that by some standard it was not the worse fate a slave could have had. But then how dearly he hates that guilt, that forced gratitude he is told to feel. He has a whole bundle of issues about his past, and I liked how it balanced all that emotional turmoil and made it work together to make a complex, but very relatable character.
    As I stated up top of this review, I was already a hug fan of this story when I got my hands on this audio book. But there was just something about this audio version that really turned it up a notch.
    Most of that rest in the hands of the narrator, Greg Patmore. Man, what a voice.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Scotland, 1478. Ruan MacLeod was through with women. They were nothing but trouble.
    Leaving the rash life of his youth behind, he returned to Skye, seeking peace. He never meant to split the clan, or start a war with the MacDonald of Duntulm. He certainly never foresaw an arranged marriage to the most scandalous woman in Scotland. Even though she was twice his age, the size of a horse, and mother to more than one illegitimate child, he agreed to secure his sister's freedom.
    However, even that plan goes drastically awry. On his wedding day, he finds himself faced instead, with an enticing, green-eyed lass named Bree. A walking disaster, his bride immediately turns his world into chaos, and threatens to melt his resolve never to love again.
    Betrayed by her own mother, Bree flees to Skye, thinking only to reunite with her long, lost father. Instead, she finds herself wed to Ruan MacLeod as a replacement bride. When she is forced to remain in the castle, she is soon caught between brothers, and the mentally ill wife of the laird.
    Shy, yet strong, Bree embarks on a journey of independence, and learns along the way that all men are not necessarily evil. In fact, one particularly brooding, yet gentle-hearted warrior, is worthy of love, and she soon loses her heart forever.

    My thoughts
    I found that Bree was a little naive. And always accusing Ryan of wrong doing and never willing ask him what the truth was. Narrator sound a little childish. I think story would had been better if they had a better narrator. Over all the story was pretty good
