About this listen

With more than 10 million copies of her books in print, New York Times best-selling author Jane Feather is one of the biggest names in historical romance. The third novel in the Blackwater Brides trilogy finds comely Alexandra Douglas in London, reeling from news of her father’s death - and of her disinheritance. Posing as a librarian, Alex infiltrates her former home, where love awaits in the form of her stepbrother’s friend, the Honourable Peregrine Sullivan.

Stories were interesting and characters engaging. Last book finished without saying what happened to the book, the ring or the fob, which I thought was a pity - a bit of comeuppance for the nasty relatives was definitely in order and now we’ll never know! A bit of an epilogue would have rounded it all out nicely. The narration was generally excellent, with the exception of a few specific words. ‘Grimace’ is clearly a word the author likes, so it was murdered regularly, with ‘liked’ and ‘idyll’ also making wincing appearances. On the whole, these didn’t spoil the listening experience.

Great series

I enjoyed the first two instalments well enough to buy the third and it was ok enough at first but the story starts all sorts of strands and abandons them for a rushed finish. I is as if the author thought, oh I written enough pages, let me finish the book now.

A great many things were left unresolved, quite astonishing at this running time. Somehow the story makes not too much sense and the authors still kept it as a book.

I guess by the end of this book I also was quite fed up with people being their worst because expectations of inheritances or outrage about not inheriting what they thought their due.

I do not agree with a previous review, yes the narrator butchers some works like lived and grimaced, but at some point it really becomes hard to bear.

This is only half a book, story ended unfinished
