"Wonderful narrator for a brilliant book - great series "
— Aisha (5 out of 5 stars)
“Emotional depth, appealing characters, strong story lines, and sexual tension are what make Kleypas’ novels reader favorites…but what will truly captivate them is watching the characters grow as love makes them the best they can be. A lovely, unforgettable story.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)“Kleypas has taken a tired trope and made it irresistible, with glittering prose and characters the reader longs to befriend.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Narrator Mary Jane Wells deftly brings to life the rocky romance between Lady Helen Ravenel and commoner Rhys Winterborne…Wells expertly conveys the heroine’s shyness and the hero’s sexiness, especially his delicious Welsh accent. She also captures Lady Helen’s vivacious twin sisters…This book can stand alone, but having listened to the earlier work adds to the pleasure.”
