Awesome as always

The St Cyr story continues 👏🏼 I found this book to be just as fabulous as it’s predecessors. Truly, the narration IS NOT bad. I understand switching narrators is odd for the ears. I understand and agree that Ms. Porter is amazing. However, Jenny Sterlin is not awful to listen to by any means; just different from what was the norm in this series.

Wow.

Let me begin by saying this isn’t my usual preferred genre but I received an email and this popped up as a new release recommendation. I clicked, read the description, and was honestly on the fence about it but I’m so glad I took the leap. I was unsure still but intrigued by the story line enough to keep going and about 5 hours in I was thoroughly hooked. It’s a story that builds and builds and then smacks you in the face. Incredible, deeply thought out and developed characters. Please, if you’re on the fence about it take the plunge, spend the credit, and thank me later ;)

Oh goodness, one has to love Turnip.

Oh goodness, one has to love Turnip. This is my second time listening to this series, and this might possibly be my favorite. He is such an endearing man and this is a fun listen. I highly suggest those questioning spending an Audible credit on it to take the leap. Additionally, while the title suggests a Christmas theme there are few Christmas references and can easily be listened to in any season if that makes any difference to anyone.

I should have listened sooner

Revisado: 04-08-18

I had this on my wish list for a long time and deleted it and then it came up in my recommendations after I finished another book and finally took the plunge. I believe it was the book description that had me feeling hesitant and now I know I shouldn’t have been. Historical fiction is my preferred genre and the idea of some of this book taking place in the present day just didn’t tickle my fancy so to speak. However the bulk of this book took place in 1803. The book offers mystery, romance, suspense and hidden identities. I would highly recommend this book to other historical fiction lovers and I certainly will be listening to the other books in this series.

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in awhile!

Revisado: 03-13-18

This historical romance had more substance to its plot than any other I’ve listened to. It forces a binge listen and you will not be disappointed. The romance aspect is quite hot and steamy as well and in different ways than your typical regency novel. The main characters were strong and enjoyable, opposites yet enough alike to make them fit in a believable way. Percy isn’t some flighty miss that you’d like to slap, but someone you’d like to befriend if she were real; and oh my...Gavin...(sigh...)

Meh.

I wanted to enjoy this book, and I wouldn’t say that I completely hated it. However, about halfway through I became irritated by Alex’s insecurities. I believe this may just be due to a personal pet peeve with insecure men; not all listeners would be in agreement with my feelings but this accounts for my rating on the story. As I said, this isn’t a bad novel, I quite enjoy Eloisa James’ other stories, I just had a difficult time with this particular one.

Well worth the credit

Such an enjoyable book! I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Steamy love, a crazed fan, and humor throughout, one couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend read, it turned into a binge listen and I was saddened when it ended.

Fantastic story!

Revisado: 01-07-17

I LOVE historical fiction and this book has become one of my new favorites! After the story is over the author goes into more detail about the real Mercer party and how she inspiration form the women who made the journey to Seattle and their role in settling the new city. The characters are each lovely in their own way and do much to show different points of view of their situations. While it is a longer book to listen to, I found myself listening to it for multiple hours at a time and thinking about it after I had paused the story. If you enjoy historical fiction you'll love this story, absolutely worth the credit!
