Publisher's Summary:

Dear Listeners,

Thank you for the warm reception given to The Gallant Vicar, my first sojourn into writing a Regency adventure. Because so many of you were kind enough to email me with your encouraging comments, I have decided to allow the gallant vicar to return. I promise his reappearance was not planned, it just happened. I hope you find The Return of the Gallant Vicar an exciting sequel to the first Gallant Vicar. You really should listen to the first book in order to enjoy the sequel. And because I delight in creating strong heroines and fast action, Elizabeth Bennet, while true to the original Jane Austen character, is a force to deal with in this sequel - so hang on to your bonnets!

The Gallant Vicar

A Regency tale inspired by Jane Austen's timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice.

Elizabeth Bennet considers the handsome new vicar at Hunsford parsonage to be everything Fitzwilliam Darcy is not. The Reverend Francis Martel is warm, accessible, and has no difficulty showing his feelings for her. Within weeks of rejecting Darcy's offer, Elizabeth finds herself swept up in a tumult of emotions for the vicar. He shares her wit, her caring for others, and the simple life - so she accepts the vicar's proposal. Will Darcy recover from his injured ego in time to intervene in their marriage? And how will he separate the couple - only days before their wedding?

The Return of the Gallant Vicar

Who is the Gallant Vicar, why did he disappear, and why has he returned on the day Elizabeth is to marry Darcy? Can his passion for Elizabeth be driving him or does he hold some darker secret? Will Darcy bring the blackguard down?

Barbara Silkstone is the author of the best-selling Mister Darcy series of comedic mysteries. The Gallant Vicar is her first Regency novel featuring Darcy and Elizabeth. It is not intended to be a comedy, but quirky things do occur.

Members Reviews:

A nice tale on it's own merit

A very nice little story narrated expertly. I missed the rolicking humor which I have come to associate with Ms Silkstone. The heroine has brains and nerve, the hero is honorable, the villain is despicable, and the supporting characters do make this an interesting read regardless of Pride and Prejudice.

An exciting story!

The Gallant Vicar, Martel, kidnaps Lizzy on her wedding day in order to find a book. (Martel is one of the worst villains I have ever come across.) A notorious highwayman is his accomplice. Of course, Darcy must search for his bride, following a few clues she leaves in the forested area of Longbourn. Mary, Lady Catherine deBurgh, and others become involved in this angst ridden, sometimes humorous, conclusion to The Gallant Vicar. The narrator, Jannie Meisberger, did a wonderful job ass each character's voice is distinctive and is consistent between both books. This story is a must for any JAFF reader.

cool

I enjoyed reading Caleb's bride. I like how the brothers have ended up in different situations with their brides.

Good story

Caen wins his bride in a poker game?

I love this short story. Great angle.

I love the families reaction. You have to read this story.

The narrator was perfect. You would think that a male voice couldn't pull it off. Well he does.

Love the series!

Such a fun audio book to listen to. Short, sweet and to the point. Can't wait for the next one.

I was given a copy of this audio book in exchange for and honest and unbiased. review.

I Love The Mail Order Bride Series

CALEB'S BRIDE was another great story in the MAIL ORDER BRIDE series. These are relaxing, fun western stories that back in the 1800's, men actually did send or write for potential brides to come west for lack of women in this part of the US. They aren't too long and they're in order. In this story Caleb is Marshall's brother from book 4. I really like Naomi whose father puts her up in a poker game with Caleb and loses. I could picture this actually happening.

Another good one from SUSETTE WILLIAMS!

LAWRENCE D. YAKIN does another terrific job with the narration. he's perfect in these stories. He makes them sound like they should. I really enjoy listening to him with his western style.

Publisher's Summary:

She should have grown up in a life of luxury and ease; instead she was thrust into one of danger and deception....

Forced by her scheming mother to pretend that she was a boy, Vanessa Fordella became Van, the Dark Knight, in 12th-century England. But when her now-dying mother demands that she leave behind her charade and marry, Van embarks on the most difficult journey of her life. And if her new husband ever finds out the truth....

After years of war, all he wants is peace and the simple life....

Peter Lawston, Lord Grayweist, hopes for a shy and controllable wife to run his castle and bear his children. What arrives instead is a hellcat who doesn't know the first thing about being docile or obedient. There's something familiar about his unconventional wife, but Peter can't put his finger on it.

As Van struggles to let go of the knight she has been and become the wife she is expected to be, events unfold that threaten to destroy everything she holds dear, including her very life.

My First Review...

Any additional comments?

I don't know if it carries much weight, but I have over 2,000 Audible books, yet this novel compelled me to pen my first review. I love to read and hate to write, so please bear with me as I attempt to convince you to add The Dark Lady to your Audible library.

The premise of Van the Dark Knight / Vanessa the Dark Lady is unique. It's fresh and unlike any other historical romance I've ever read. The heroine, Van / Vanessa, and hero, Peter, are a captivating duo. In their story, you experience subtle humor, sadness, frustration, tenderness, ferocity, personal strife and growth, chemistry, passion, love, sex and action. The heroine is a significant player in the action. Nothing in The Dark Lady seems contrived. The array of secondary characters are fleshed out, contributing to a multi-layered, original narrative.

The story advances in such a manner, I was always fully engaged. It grabbed me and wouldn't let go. I never lapsed into inattentiveness. It was a sublime balance of plot and characterization.

Narration is so integral to the enjoyment of an audiobook. Initially, I yearned for Nicholas Boulton, my favorite male narrator, but quickly embraced Ashton Greso's rendering. He conveyed the emotion with distinct and credible voices for all. Great job

!Is it worth a credit? Indeed it is! I listened to The Dark Lady twice, back-to-back. I've never done that before!

Lastly, if you've read through my "virgin" review thus far, I thank you. My intent is to share the pleasure I derived, and encourage others to listen to Dawn Chandler's novel. I promise, you will suffer no regrets!

Who Was the "Black Knight"?

Kudos to author Dawn Chandler for writing such a unique book.

Fearing her husband would kill the baby because she was a girl, her mother ran away and raised Vanessa as her son Van and sent him/her to train as a squire when she was only 10 years old.

When Van was a teenager he was knighted by the King as "The Black Knight" for bravery on the battlefield for saving the King's Champion at great risk to his/her own life.

This was a new author and narrator for me, but both did an excellent job.

Nice Clean Western Romance

For those of you that prefer no violence, clean language and no detailed sex...this book is for you. The closest it gets to being slightly naughty is when someone crawls into bed with another person to keep them from freezing. Still, there was no sex involved.

This woman Jenny (Ma) has made it through her 4 boys getting married and a few are getting ready to have babies. I love the Mail Order bride book where Ma writes the mail order bride service for one of her boys. That was a good one too.

It was a cute romance where I was not embarrassed to listen to in front of my kids. Most of the books I prefer require me to use head phones.

Sweet story

I liked the fact that the book is short and sweet

I so pleased that Ma found some one to love.

I love that this series is shorty is short and sweet. I listen on my way to and from work and they are just the right length.

Any one who likes a cute love stories will love this series

Great series!

This is the last of the Mail Order Brides by Susette Williams. I will miss this fun family. If you haven't read or listened to any of these books, they are short stories that you can read or listen to in about an hour. I really enjoyed all of them.

I was given this audio book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Perfect ending to this novella series

--I was given a oopy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This was the perfect ending to the series! Jenny(Ma) has been alone for years since the early death of her husband. She has always been busy raising her four boys, running the ranch and just never thought of loving another man. Thadius(Doc) has eyes for Jenny. He approaches her one day when checking on Sarah's pregnancy and Jenny is very put off..until Thadius is thrown from his horse. Will Jenny realize how much she loves Thadius?

Allyson Voller concludes this series as she started it. Her narration is wonderfully warm and compassionate.

The Final 'Chapter' in the Mail Order Bride Series

This is the final book in the Mail Order Bride series. If you plan to read any of the other books, you may not want to read this review as it may contain spoilers.

Now that her four boys are all married off with wives and the beginnings of families of their own, Ma/Jenny is feeling content. However, when Doc shows up to help deliver her first grandchild he makes his affection and intentions toward her known. They are both older and alone and he thinks they would be a good match.

Follow their journey in this brief novella to find out what happens.

The narration was very good.

Title: Lady Sarah's Sinful Desires

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Welcome to Thorncliff Manor, where London's elite mix, mingle, and may even find their hearts' desires....

There are thousands of things Christopher, Viscount Spencer, would rather do than hunt for a bride, especially since experience has taught him that women are not to be trusted. Then he finds the intriguing Lady Sarah scrambling around in Thorncliff's conservatory, and he is instantly charmed by her passionate nature. But why is she so intent on avoiding him?

Lady Sarah would make the perfect bride for a peer - if not for a tarnished past that she's hiding from the ton. A stay at Thorncliff Manor was meant to help her plan for her future, not fall in love. Yet Christopher's kisses are irresistible, his gallantry enticing. When her secret stands to be revealed, will the truth ruin their dreams of happiness?

Members Reviews:

decent story, bad narration

Although the story was decent, and characters were well rounded, the stiff and stilted narration took away from it.

My Musings

This is the second book I have read by Sophie Barnes. The reason I decided to purchase Lady Sarahs Sinful Desires was because it was a finalist in the Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence contest. I must say, I am enjoying the books and the competition must have been fierce. So far I have read four of the entries and all of them have been noteworthy. While this is the least favorite of the ones I have read, I did enjoy this book.

Lady Sarah hangs her head in disgrace. Two years ago, she allowed a rogue to seduce her and she has been paying for her indiscretion ever since. Her parents shun her and have arranged a marriage with the detestable Mr. Denison, a man her fathers age and far beneath her in rank.

She arrives at Thorncliff Manor, an exclusive destination for the elite of the ton, where she meets Mr. Denison for the first time so he can pay her court for a fortnight before announcing their engagement.

Christopher, Viscount Spencer, and his family are spending three months at Thorncliff while their home is being renovated. While strolling through the conservatory, he spies a young woman crawling around on the floor, searching for her pet hamster. Their eyes meet and the attraction between them is combustible.

Will Sarah be able to do her duty to protect her sisters from scandal and marry the despicable Mr. Denison, now that she has met the man of her dreams, or will she break down and tell Lord Spencer her secret and pray he will still want her?

Lady Sarahs Sinful Desires starts out well and pulled me into the story. The couple meet at the end of the second chapter and the chemistry sizzles between them and stays ignited throughout the rest of the book. While the premise of a manor home, which is in essence what today would be a resort, is intriguing, I do not feel it is very realistic for a regency setting. Nonetheless, this is fiction and I could overlook that aspect of the story.

Lady Sarah is the kindest, and one of most considerate heroines I have encountered in quite some time. She is willing to sacrifice her chance of happiness to protect her younger half-sisters from scandal and honor her fathers less than honorable solution to the dilemma of her ruination.

She does suffer from very low self-esteem, but that is expected because in her day nothing could be worse than a young woman who has lost her virtue, even if it was to a manipulative seducer.

Very good!

I wish there were more Shana Galen books in audio format. This one was delightful! A regency romance with spies thrown in make for a most enjoyable story. With great characters and SG's excellent writing skills, we have a book that I couldn't put down. I highly recommend it.

fabulous!

Altho this specific genre remains my favorite I can admit that there are only so many ways you can spin a regency romance after a while. yet I found this one quite thoroughly enjoyable... it held my attention from word one to the last.... it's become difficult to stay engaged with a story that has begun to be familiar no matter that I have never seen it before, who wrote it, or how long ago. But enjoying this one gives me hope that my favorite guilty pleasure is still.

NARRATOR : Excellent.

HEAT FACTOR: Steamy!

I can't wait to start another Shana Galen story !

I've recently become a fan of Shana Galen. I'll shop for my 3rd book and am hopeful that I'll find another one narrated by Heather Wilds!

Not as good as expected

I felt the story line was good but the characters were too unbelievable nit figuring out who the bad guy was

Publisher's Summary:

Allow an old fidget of a duke to run her life?

Ah, the devil she would!

Miss Felicia Easton, holed up happily at Easton Manor, was quite content with her unchaperoned state, thank you very much. The last thing she needed was to be summarily fetched to see her ogre of a guardian, the elderly Duke of Somerset.

And so she fled with her childhood friend, Scott - only to run into a highwayman!

Thank heavens Glen Aston happened along when he did, insisting the two runaways recover from their shock at a local inn.

But it was some time before the flirtatious Felicia and the highly susceptible Ashton realized they had more in common than a chance encounter in the countryside, for the Duke of Somerset had passed away, and Ashton was now Felicia's guardian.

And this guardian didn't appreciate being bamboozled by a slip of a girl, lovely though she might be!

Members Reviews:

suspense, drama and passionate romance

Felicia is contented in her inherited Easton Manor and the story starts two months from her 21st birthday and her becoming an independent woman free from guardianship of the old Duke of Somerset. When she is informed by the Duke that he will be going to take her to London, she fears his motive which she believes is to marry her off to one of his sons before her birthday that way he can gain her wealth. With the aid of her best friend from childhood, Scott, she plans to run away to London and stay with his Aunt for a London season. But on their the way, Scott sustains an injury from a highwayman and they get rescued by Glen Ashton, the new Duke of Somerset. None of them reveal their true identity While staying at the Inn for Scott's health to improve. The Duke takes them under his wing and pays for everything in addition to staying on to make sure she is escorted by him to London safely. Felicia falls in love with the Duke, obviously :). When all is revealed by the Duke's sister's arrival Lady Daphne at the Inn, Felicia is forced to go to London and allow the Duke to give her the season. Somehow no one will do for her since she is already in love with the young Duke. I enjoyed reading this book and the suspense, drama and passionate romance was nicely done. I find that it was well worth my credit.

Felicia is one hot cannon ball

If you could sum up Madcap Miss in three words, what would they be?

Funny, Brave, Mouthy

What was one of the most memorable moments of Madcap Miss?

When Felicia figures out she is crazy in love with Glen Aston

What does Stevie Zimmerman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

She brings the story to life. Her voice is crisp and very clear.

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

I enjoyed it very much almost better than I enjoyed reading the book

The type of heroine I love to see!

Would you consider the audio edition of Madcap Miss to be better than the print version?

This was my first (that I can remember) book by Claudy Conn ,author, and my second time listening to Stevie Zimmerman, narrator. Personally, I don't think that a printed book or ebook can be compared to an audio book. I believe they totally complement one another.

Title: To Sin with a Viking

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

Caragh O Brannon defended herself bravely when the enemy landed - only now she finds herself alone with one very angry Viking. Styr Hardrata sailed to Ireland intending to trade, never expecting to find himself held captive in chains by a beautiful Irish maiden. The fiercely handsome warrior both terrifies and allures Caragh, but he is forbidden territory. He is the enemy, and he is married. Yet Styr harbors a secret that just might set them both free.

Members Reviews:

A Unique Viking story

To Sin with the Viking is not a typical Viking story. The entirety of this story occurs away from the Nordic regions and takes place in Ireland.

Caraghis is starving and so is the rest of her village. Her older brothers are away bartering for food, when a Viking ship is sighted. This strikes fear in the hearts of the villagers and Caraghis's younger brother decides to take a stand against the intruders.

Viking Styr is with his wife, Elena, when they land on the shores of Caraghis. The Vikings are overtaken when Caraghis's brother takes Elena hostage and Styr is taken captive by Caraghis. Styr is enraged when he discovers Elena and the rest of his crew have been commandeered and have sailed away. Worse he is imprisoned in Caraghis's home unable to rescue his wife.

Caraghis is simply captivated by Styr and also worried about her brother, she fears Styr will kill him. She is very loyal to her family.

The two set off along with Caraghis's older brother to find Elena and Caraghis's younger brother. During their journey Caraghis and Styr begin to develop strong feelings for each other. Styr is honorable and he will not break his vows to his wife even though they have a very strained marriage. It's hard not to like a man who stands by his commitments. Styr is also very protective of Caraghis and this makes her fall for him hard.

This book is well paced but I found the end to be a bit slow. However this is the only time I felt the story lost its tension.

Really good with unusual story line

I really enjoyed this book despite being a bit worried about the theme of forbidden love. I've never been a fan of adultery and usually avoid any book where it is present. I think having read the preface by the author, I understood her motivation and was willing to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. It is a romance and that is what I like. Plus I truly liked the h and the H was everything he should have been, hunky, honourable and a bit alpha.

***Spoilers***

For those who want to know for sure (like I really wanted to before I bought the book), the H and h don't physically have sex before he leaves his wife. You'll have to read the story to see how the author handled the intimacy part of the story - I thought it was pretty original.

Looking forward to the next one in the series.

who doesn't love a Viking?

A friend of mine rec'd this to me, and I will love her for it! I've since purchased several books by this author and they are equally amazing.

I've been reading Historical Romance for a long time, and Vikings remain my favorites. There aren't a whole lot of them that are very good, so I was pleasantly excited about this one.

I fell in love with Caragh immediately. She has a heart the size of a Viking ship, but as tender as she is, she's also a tough cookie. Styr is just .... rawr. Smart, sexy, strong. Pure Viking.

Title: The Traitor's Daughter

Length: 11 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Romance, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

In 1582, England is gripped by the fear of traitors. Kate Lyon, tainted by her exiled mother's past treason, has been disowned by her father, Baron Thornleigh. But in truth Kate and her husband, Owen, are only posing as Catholic sympathizers to gain information for Queen Elizabeth's spymaster.

Kate is an expert decoder. The deception pains her, but she takes heart in the return to England of her long-estranged brother, Robert. If only she could be sure where his loyalties lie....

Kate and Owen's spying yields valuable intelligence: English Catholics abroad are spearheading an invasion that would see Elizabeth deposed - or worse - in favor of Mary, Queen of Scots. Kate takes on the dangerous role of double agent, decoding and delivering letters the exiles send Mary. But when lives and fortunes hang by the thinnest threads, betrayal is only a whisper away....

A brilliant blend of Tudor history and lush storytelling, The Traitor's Daughter is a riveting, passionate novel of loyalty, heartbreak, and one woman's undaunted courage.

Members Reviews:

Thornleigh series

I have enjoyed every book in the Thornleigh series and I hope more are coming. A must for everyone who enjoys the Tudor era

The Traitor's Daughter

I absolutely love this book series! I actually began with the fifth book in the series (Blood Between Queens) and have since continued on, reading The Queen's Exiles before going back and starting at the beginning with The Queen's Lady. This is a must-read historical fiction series for those that love seeing the events of the Tudor era unfold through the eyes of fictional characters that are always very close to the danger and conspiracies surrounding the throne. The Traitor's Daughter, the newest installment, does not disappoint and continues the tradition of exhilarating storylines and captivating and multifaceted characters.

The Traitor's Daughter focuses the spotlight on Kate Lyon (nee Thornleigh). When we last saw Kate in The Queen's Exiles, her father, Baron Thornleigh, was rescuing her from her horrid Catholic mother's clutches while having to leave behind Kate's brother, Robert, during the rescue. A number of years have past while Kate grows up in England and, when the novel opens, she is meeting up with her husband, Owen, as he is released from prison. Her father has disowned her, believing Owen is a Catholic working against Queen Elizabeth's rule (which was actually quite upsetting to me after the lengths he went to to rescue Kate and bring her home). What Baron Thornleigh doesn't know is that Owen and Kate are actually double agents, pretending to be working with the Catholics in their cause to bring down Elizabeth and rescue and put on the throne the imprisoned Scottish Queen Mary, all while delivering this valuable information to Elizabeth's spymasters. This double dealing keeps the tension tight from the beginning of the novel until its tragic end and means that danger and heartache are never far behind these two. This becomes even worse when Kate's long lost brother, Robert, is discovered in England and Kate has to wrestle with whether or not Robert is who he says he is.
