Yes, I would. This series is very easy to become addicted to. Just like Little House on the Prairie touched the hearts of many, so will this series.

What did you like best about this story?

The love, values, and the pillar of the family. This series has so many genuine qualities.

Which character as performed by Susan Hanfield was your favorite?

Susan Hanfield does an outstanding job with both female, and male characters. Her quality to storytelling was real and believable.

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

Yes, and once you start the series you will understand why. Truthfully, the series is addicting. You will fall in love with all of the characters and want to keep reading/ listening to find out what is going on in the next book.

Any additional comments?

This is truly a series not to miss. Start with the first book in the series and fall in love with the Belk family.

Enjoyable, somewhat?

This story was a little too dark for me. More sadness than I care to get thru in my stories. Very detailed in the historical side however, I would most likely listen to another of this authors books.

Kind of predictable

I went to the end although I thought about giving up a few times. It's not the worst story I've listened to.

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

When she agreed to go on a date with quantum physicist Dr. David Fergusson, Kate Kallastad never expected that he would insist on demonstrating his breakthrough in the creation of a trans-space teleportation device. Nor did she expect to get caught up in a science experiment that would send both Kate and her date back in time.

Stranded in the past with nothing but time on her hands, Kate accepts a job as a maid in the household of the gorgeous, commanding earl of Harrowby - a man unlike any she's ever met before.

Brandon Ryder, the earl of Harrowby, has spent a lifetime bound by the rules of society, and one of those rules is that a gentleman doesn't trifle with the help. However, Kate Kallastad is no ordinary employee. His lovely new maid challenges him at every turn, astounding him with her audacity to treat him not as an earl but as a mere mortal man. Kate's honesty and comfortable familiarity dares Brandon to break free of boundaries that have long ruled him, enticing him to indulge in the truest passion of his life...and his growing passion for her.

Members Reviews:

wonderful! but....

If you're looking for a typical Time Travel or a typical Historical Romance then this isn't quite it. It is a pretty good melding of the two... yet lacking the stuff I really love about that time in London Society pieces and yet not gritty or meaty enough to be a time travel sci-fi piece either. I don't mean to say that it was less then wonderful... In its own way it really was! However it managed to cross both genres so lightheartedly that it left me kind of floundering on my response to it.

The characters are very real and the settings spring to life. The plot was good and the writting enjoyable. Somehow there is still "something" about it I can't quite put my finger on.

NARRATOR: I LOVE Anthony Ferguson!!! He can do NO wrong!

CREDITWORTHY? Hmm... I wouldn't use my very last credit on it but I don't regret using the one that I did either.

HEAT FACTOR : Steamy!

Not Great But Good

I liked the story but the ending was just "meh" for me. Kate was likeable enough. She did have some non 21st century behavioral moments that left me thinking "oh hell no". Some characters were introduced that I felt didn't add anything to the story. I liked Harrowby and I loved seeing him loosen up with Kate's help.

story 2.75

narrator 3.75

antony ferguson's american accent is always entertainment. there were times where in kate's dialogue his british accent came out but knowing that the american accent isn't his strong suit i was happy with his performance.

Love the narrator!

Would you listen to Nothing but Time again? Why?

My first book of the author, Angeline Fortin but I will be purchasing more of this author I love her story and the characters. Time travel novels are a favorite of mine. I would recommend this one to anyone who loves time travel too Antony Ferguson brought the characters to life. Excellent narrator!

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

I couldn't put it down. Spent the whole day listening.

Was so hopeful

I really liked the story all the way up to the ending. Hated the ending!

good time travel romance

loved the story. love the narrative. time machine takes 2 people into the past where love is found.

Title: Rosalind: A Regency Romance

Subtitle: The Four Sisters, Series Book 1

Author: Audrey Harrison

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-15

Publisher: Audrey Harrison

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Peter Gilbert, Duke of Sudworth, is a good man. He has inherited the title and the debt that his deceased brother and father created, having had to leave the home that he had set up away from his dysfunctional family. Facing bankruptcy, he has determined to keep the family home at whatever cost. Only those closest to him know that it is not for his own benefit.

Rosalind, is the eldest daughter of Mr Johnson, a 'cit', a man who has earned his fortune through business. He is determined that his four daughters will marry the highest titles in the country, whether they like it or not, and he is prepared to pay to achieve his goal.

Two people forced together because of circumstances that they did not create would be set for a shaky start at best. However with local gossip, illegitimate children and an alleged affair, things were never going to be quiet in the home of the Duke and Duchess of Sudworth.

Members Reviews:

Not a Civil Contract

When I began this book I almost just did not keep listening because it began almost plot point to plot point like my favorite of Georgette Heyer's books, a Civil Contract. This is story is an aristocrat marrying a Cit, exchanging his title for her fortune, a small wedding and the first time the married couple is able to converse about their marriage is in a carriage just after the wedding. Being fond of Georgette Heyer I was irritated by what I falsely assumed would be a pale retelling of an old tale.

I am glad I kept reading because the problems the young people face are their own and original to them. It is true in this book, the tension is increased by misunderstandings, but we humans see what we expect to see. The Bride expected to be snubbed by her husband's friends, and the Groom expected to find his new wife critical. So they believed what they expected to see, and heartache follows, to be warmly and tenderly repaired. Actually this book is quite historically accurate. The ending is truly a twist, and for these two people a happy one.

Engaging story and great narration

If you could sum up Rosalind: A Regency Romance in three words, what would they be?

Intriguing, romantic, well written

What other book might you compare Rosalind: A Regency Romance to and why?

Persuasion

Which scene was your favorite?

When the stars align and all the characters get just what they want - no spoilers here!

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

I really wanted to find out what came next throughout.

Any additional comments?

Rosalind is a genteel well written romance with lots to keep you guessing. Not as predictable as many period romances.

The narration brought all the characters to life. I think it would have been much less interesting to just read to myself.

Lovely Story

When I heard the words, "The End", my instant reaction was, "oh no!" Such was my total involvement with this book that I just couldn't believe that the story had ended.

The storyline was cleverly plotted out and this beautiful tale was told. It was also skillfully narrated.

This author has the ability to tell a good story, so do yourself a favor and read or listen to the audiobooks in this series!

Great read

I Loved this romance. Held my interest all through the novel. Great narrator too. Definitely recommended

Fluff

Easy pleasant fluff. Untenable plot.

Title: A Match for Marcus Cynster

Subtitle: The Cynster Novels, Book 23

Author: Stephanie Laurens

Narrator: Matthew Brenher

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-26-15

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 181 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens returns to rugged Scotland with a dramatic tale of passionate desire, unwavering devotion, and a match too powerful to deny.

Restless and impatient, Marcus Cynster waits for fate to come calling. He knows his destiny lies in the lands surrounding his family home, but what will his future be, and with whom will he share it? Of one fact he feels certain: His fated bride will not be Niniver Carrick. His elusive neighbor attracts him mightily, yet he feels compelled to protect her - even from himself. Fate, he's sure, would never be so kind as to decree that Niniver should be his. The best he can do for them both is to avoid her.

Niniver has vowed to return her clan to prosperity. The epitome of fragile femininity, her delicate and ethereal exterior cloaks a stubborn will and an unflinching devotion to the people in her care. She accepts that she cannot risk marrying and losing her grip on the clan's reins to an inevitably controlling husband. Unfortunately many local men see her as their opportunity. Soon she's forced to seek help to get rid of her unwelcome suitors. Powerful and dangerous, Marcus Cynster is perfect for the task. Suppressing her wariness over tangling with a gentleman who excites her passions, she appeals to him for assistance with her peculiar problem.

Although at first he resists, Marcus discovers that, contrary to his expectations, his fated role is to stand by Niniver's side and, ultimately, to claim her hand. Yet in order to convince her to be his bride, they must plunge headlong into a journey full of challenges, unforeseen dangers, passion, and yearning, until Niniver grasps the essential truth - that she is indeed a match for Marcus Cynster.

Members Reviews:

Yes, another Cynsters Series 5 + star rating.

This series is an auto-buy.

Stephanie Laurens' Cynsters' Series always leave you wanting the story to go on and on. That is, until the next one is available!

From 'Devil's Bride' (Book 1) through to 'A Match for Marcus Cynster (Book 23) you will fall into the Cynsters' lives, along with all the other stories about their friends and connections.

Well worth the credits.

Good read

Another good one from Stephanie Laurens. I loved characters. The bad guy was not very compelling. Overall an enjoyable listen.

Pretty good

This series hasn't died out yet. Most of the charm of the first Cynster novels is still active in Laurens 23rd book. While I miss Simon Prebble narrating because he was incredible, Matthew Brehner does a very good job too. Brehner has a voice that to me seems to fit the authors style and the era she writes about.

Later Cynster novels not on equal level as earlier stories.

For those individuals familiar with the plots and character development in the earlier Cynster novels, you might find yourself feeling a little let down.

Would be better as a short story

I kept waiting for something , anything, to happen. It moves very slowly. I've pretty much read or listened to every Cynster story Ms. Laurens has written. They're getting to be interchangeable.

Not bad, just so very, very predictable.

It was ok

This book was ok. Kept me entertained while working. It was extremely slow though. Only good for background listening. I walked away for about an hour at one point and when I came back I hadn't missed anything.

Lovely story

I've always loved this book. From a simpler time. The reader did a wonderful job. So many readers have grating voices or are not suited to the story. This was perfect.

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

From the best-selling author of It Happened at the Fair and Fair Play comes a compelling historical novel about a progressive "New Woman" - the girl behind Tiffany's chapel - and the love that threatens it all.

As preparations for the 1893 World's Fair set Chicago and the nation on fire, Louis Tiffany - heir to the exclusive Fifth Avenue jewelry empire - seizes the opportunity to unveil his state-of-the-art, stained glass, mosaic chapel, the likes of which the world has never seen. But when Louis' dream is threatened by a glassworkers' strike months before the fair opens, he turns to an unforeseen source for help: the female students at the Art Students League of New York.

Eager for adventure the young women pick up their skirts, move to boarding houses, take up steel cutters, and assume new identities as the Tiffany Girls. Tiffany Girls is the heartwarming story of the impetuous Flossie Jayne, a beautiful budding artist who is handpicked by Louis to help complete the Tiffany chapel. Though excited to live in a boarding house when most women stayed home, she quickly finds the world is less welcoming than anticipated. From a Casanova male to an unconventional married couple and a condescending singing master, she takes on a colorful cast of characters to transform the boarding house into a home while racing to complete the Tiffany chapel and make a name for herself in the art world. As challenges mount, her ambitions become threatened from an unexpected quarter: her own heart. Who will claim victory? Her dreams or the captivating boarder next door?

Members Reviews:

Enjoyed this book

I enjoy historical fiction. This was an enjoyable listen and it was interesting learning about the Tiffany Girls.

Another Deeanne Gist hit

If you could sum up Tiffany Girl in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, well written

What other book might you compare Tiffany Girl to and why?

Like other Deeanne Gist books, this one is built on the history of our country. This one was an interesting time historically as women were just beginning to speak up for their rights. Ms. Gist does a great job of developing her characters so that you understand and can envision them.

Which character as performed by Rachel Botchan was your favorite?

She did a great job on all of them, so it's impossible to pick a favorite. I was easily able to distinguish the characters from one another and she has a very pleasant voice when speaking out of character.

Any additional comments?

Whenever I finish one of Ms. Gist books, I find myself looking forward to the next one. And it can never get her quickly enough!

Gotta love a Deeanne Gist book!

I love Deeanne Gist books! Actually, I would have given this one 3.5 stars, but I rounded up to 4 because I love her work so much. I miss the Christian content in this book. It is clean and decent, but it did not include a faith message. The narrator is excellent. Her voice is perfect for this story, time period and the main character. The ending is wonderful!! :)

Engaging and sweet story

This is a very slow burn romance. The characters were well developed before they even became interested in each other and they continued to develop through out the story. I also loved and appreciated how much they grew as individuals.

It was a clean story; however, there was still sensuality and chemistry between the H/h.

Title: Heiress Bride

Language: English

Release date: 04-24-15

Publisher: Firehouse Publishing

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In this western historical romance, heiress Ella Davenport has survived a carriage accident that killed her father. Her life was saved in exchange for savage scars marring her beautiful face. Her socialite friends showed their true colors, casting Ella aside like damaged goods and leaving her a social pariah. Even her wealth can't buy her the kind of marriage she wants. Desperate to find a husband who can accept her despite her scars without knowing about her money, she seeks to become a mail order bride. Matchmaker & Co. is her one chance to start over and leave the pain and betrayal far behind her.

Nathan Ravenclaw was run out of town by the father of the girl he was courting once he discovered Nathan's Arapaho heritage. It didn't matter that Nathan was a successful rancher, businessman, and a positive member of society. The white community suddenly saw only a half-breed. Even his money couldn't buy him a wife. That was 10 years ago. He moved and rebuilt everything that cold rancher once took from him. He has it all...except a wife. Matchmaker & Company promises to send him a woman willing to start a new life with him. But Nathan's battered heart lacks the ability to trust. He longs for children, not romance. His new bride, scarred and cast aside like himself, promises to be perfect for him. Then he meets her. Fierce desire, and an even more dangerous hope, roar back to life within him. Those are two things he swore never to indulge in again.

And love? For these two battered souls, that's the biggest risk of all.

Members Reviews:

Adult Content!

Although there was more detailed adult content than I prefer, it was a good story. Cynthia Woolf writes a good complete short story with all the elements that make a good book. (not an easy thing to do) From East to West two people, made misfits by the societies they live in, find each other. If they can just live long enough to enjoy their lives together, with a killer stalking the heroine, Ella Davenport, and wanting her new husband dead, as well.

Enjoyable Light Story

My first with the author, I am not used to pick short and light story, and I surprisingly find myself enjoy the story.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful!

I realllly liked this book! It was a joy to listen to.... I laughed, and smiled, and shed a tear tear and there.... Amelia Grey has written a most enjoyable story full of rich characters, beautiful visuals and true emotion. This was a great happy-ever-after romance which will go onto my "Listen again, someday" list.

NARRATOR : Barrie Kreinek deliverd a excellent performance with all of the good qualities and none of the bad! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

CREDITWORTHY? : Heavens yes! If you love a good historical romance then you can't go wrong!

HEAT FACTOR? : Very little... Some chemistry... a clear visual, a little steam but no real heat.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This book made my Mother's Day complete!

I loved this book! From beginning to end it was one of those can't stop listening to it books. The characters are all so special. I didn't want it to end. I laughed so hard at the part when the Duke first goes to meet his new wards, it was genius! Amelia Grey is new to me, but has shot to the top of my must read list. I'm am a self proclaimed romance super fan, considering the volume of romances I have either read or listened to well over 500, so when I say get "get this one" I can tell you with confidence, you're going to love it.

The narrator can either make or break a book for me. If I'm going through a time when I want to find something new, I might look at what a really good narrator has done in the past, which I started doing with my all time favor narrator, Josephine Bailey. I honestly thought, at times, that the narrator was Josephine Bailey. I just hope Barrie Kreinik will narrate all of Amelia Grey's books, past as well as future books, because the combination is wonderful!

Loved it

Kept my interest the entire time. Great storyline and clever characters. I recommend this book.

Missing something

The book was satisfactory, a little more romance would have been nice. It felt like something was missing from the story.

A great romance

I cried at the end. It was a wonderful romance

I hope there is more from this author. I would get them all.

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

What if two weeks after the Meryton assembly, Darcy no longer wishes to deny his increasing fascination with the bewitching Miss Elizabeth Bennet and her amazing eyes? What if he's the last man in the world she wishes to spend time with, owing to his tendency of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time? Will he persuade her to give him another chance to earn her good opinion?

Members Reviews:

A wonderful moment

Once again, P.O. Dixon and Pearl Hewitt have made a wonderful story come to life and made the reader and listener see the scenes with Elizabeth and Darcy, and let us relive the moment where Elizabeth's tender feelings start, and see the beginning of a memorable love story. Again Pam Dixon have made a new turn for the most beloved couple in literature!

Sweet but under developed and rushed

A scene is really all you get. It shoves all the hard won personal growth of P&P into confrontation and introspection of a single night. However it is sweet and well written as many of P.O. Dixon's stories I've enjoyed.

An Enduring Flustered Darcy!

Any additional comments?

A Tender Moment by PO Dixon is an endearing little vignette involving our Pride and Prejudice heroes Elizabeth and Darcy.

It takes places about two weeks after the Meryton assembly at a time when Darcy is struggling with his attraction to Elizabeth's fine eyes. Darcy gets flustered around her and increasingly becomes frustrated with himself because he constantly becomes tongue-tied and says the wrong thing at the wrong time. In turn, Elizabeth is amused by him and starts to become intrigued.

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Pearl Hewitt. She did an outstanding job, providing distinct and consistent voices for Darcy and Elizabeth. Bravo!

Short and sweet!

This is a historical fiction short story about the attraction between a man and a woman and how things were done way back when! Darcy and Elizabeth : Book 3 of the series...

Long ago life was different from the way it is now. Back then a man choose a woman and they were stuck with each other. Now the two have to decide if this is what they want forever. Darcy is pretty well off and one minute Elizabeth is thinking about the possibilities and the next she finds him appalling. Read along with Darcy and Elizabeth as they find "A Tender Moment".

The author , P.O. Dixon did a good job on this short story! For a short story, it manages to pack a punch (so to speak). The narrator, Pearl Hewitt did a really good job delivering this story to us with her multiple voices and accents. I found this short story to be very entertaining.

Huh? I'm Not Sure What I Heard

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This was a bit perplexing to me. I did not understand if this was an interpretation of the original, an addition to the original or had anything to do with the original at all.

It was cute and only 37 minutes long so I didn't really "get it ".

It looks like this may be a series of shorts. If that is the case I'd recommend reading them all at once. This didn't really make any sense to me as a standalone.

Title: CAROLINE

Subtitle: Rakes & Rebels: The Beauvisage Family, Book 2

Author: Cynthia Wright

Narrator: Emily Beresford

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-15

Publisher: Cynthia Wright

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

The year is 1783, and rakish Alexandre Beauvisage is returning from the Revolutionary War when he discovers Caroline, unconscious in the Connecticut woods. Dressed as a boy, she has no memory of her past. Against his better judgment, he takes the lovely foundling with him to his home in Philadelphia and finds his life increasingly complicated as the fiery attraction between them builds and Caro's dangerous past reaches out to her.

Caroline is Cynthia Wright's unforgettable debut novel and is on keeper shelves worldwide. The story of a confirmed rake and an innocent, spirited young woman, it is filled with sensual romance, evocative history, memorable characters, and the joy of true love.

Authors Note, January 2013 - This new, subtly revised version of Caroline addresses issues raised by some contemporary readers. Caroline was originally written and published in 1977, but times have changed. In this new edition, Alec is a more mature alpha hero and Caro is a stronger heroine. If you have read and loved Caroline in the past, I think you will love it even more now!

Members Reviews:

Sweeping love story follows US War of Independence

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

I loved this audiobook for many reasons. Cynthia Wright gave me great insights into a period of American history with which I was not familiar by delivering many facts and historical details with a light hand. The heroine Caroline was adorable: feisty, smart, brave and impetuous. Alexandre Beauvisage, the hero, is clever, rich, witty, assured - and too cynical and arrogant for his own good. However, I loved him even more by the end of the story for both his physical and mental courage. It takes a strong man to recognise and address his own flaws fearlessly and honestly. I was also enchanted by the cast of characters that surrounded Caro and Alec, especially Alec's grandmother.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the confidence and self-assurance Caro found as she grew up, and the compassion, love and gentleness Alec discovered as he let go of his anger from the past.

Which character as performed by Emily Beresford was your favorite?

Caro and Grandma Beauvisage were my favourite characters.

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

I experienced many emotions listening to this story - delight, sadness, compassion, admiration - and I often laughed. I felt the whole time that I (and Caro) were in exceptionally trustworthy and competent hands in Cynthia and Alec, and therefore my moments of sadness and worry were fleeing.

Any additional comments?

Caroline is a story that has stood the test of time. This is book one in the Beauvisage series and I look forward to reading all of them.

Surprised

What made the experience of listening to Caroline the most enjoyable?

Most Romance novels will leave me wanting to skip to the end but this one held my interest.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alec was my favorite character because he was so sure of himself.

What does Emily Beresford bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I love the way this book was read.
