About this listen

While investigating a suspicious death, private-inquiry agent Ambrose Wells finds himself on the grounds of Aldwick Castle - and in the midst of utter chaos. The ramshackle castle is in flames - and a beautiful woman and four young girls are taking flight on horseback. It turns out that the strong-minded Miss Concordia Glade and her four bright students are on the run from a notorious London crime lord who'll stop at nothing to destroy them. Now their only hope is Ambrose, a confirmed loner with more than his share of secrets - and more than his share of desire for the unconventional teacher. And as Ambrose and Concordia risk everything to bring down a criminal mastermind, they will also be forced to battle something even greater: the steamy passion that threatens their hard-won independence....

A fairly good story that bowls along nicely truly ruined by poor narrator. The combination of the worst plummy fake posh accent made the female lead positively annoying. Decidedly dodgy pronunciations were just the cherry on top. Buy the book, you've a better chance of enjoying it.

Nothing to dislike about the story but the performance was just too heavyhanded, with its over the top accents and voices. Sadly it just made all the characters sound annoying and unlikable and that made the romance impossible to get into

too heavy on the performance

I’ve listened to many other books from this author and thoroughly enjoyed them however, this book just didn’t work for me. The story wasn’t particularly engaging and the narration was so overblown it made it difficult to get into what was going on. All in all this one is a miss for me.

Exaggerated accent and measured reading meant it was not easy to 'go with the flow' as it were - very mechanical, which made for an irritating and difficult listen.
