About this listen

Anita Topaz, Queen of the Bodice Rippers, is deliberately a woman of mystery. But pressure is mounting for Anita to reveal herself to her clamoring public. It's scrutiny that writer Paris Ellison can't allow, especially since the glamorous "Anita" is a work of pure fiction.

Lady Diana Beckinsale excels at disappearing into a good role. Especially if that role gets her close to certain objects she desires. When Diana proposes the perfect solution to Paris' predicament, Paris is less than enthusiastic. She can't let someone as unsettling and observant as Diana get too close.

But Diana is persistent. After all, if she and the handsome, secretive Paris both get what they want out of an unorthodox arrangement, then it's a win-win for them both.

Karin Kallmaker romances are a real find and this one is a treat. What a shame, though, that the writing is ruined in audiobook form by Abby Craden's unbelievably dreadful British English and Irish English accents.
The producer must also take some of the blame. It is incomprehensible to me, and such a shame, that a voice artist who is unable to do believable accents is hired to narrate a novel that features both British English and Irish English speakers.

Badly spoiled by Abby Cradey's atrocious accent

I love the Karin Kallmaker books I’ve listened to so far, but this was my least favourite. I didn’t gel well with the two main characters and wasn’t wildly enthusiastic about the storyline. Abby is by far and away my number 1 narrator, but as a Brit, her British accents on this and other novels make me cringe and are really distracting

Not my favourite

My second by Karin and with the incomparable narration by Abbey Craden also as an audio included title couldn't be better.

I have read a number of Karin Kallmaker's books and they are all well written with decent stories. This one I think is possibly her best. It is really very well written with rich and interesting characters. She shows an economy and precision of language to capture a moment or emotion concisely without belabouring the point.

Abby Craden as usual has performed these characters exquisitely. I particularly liked the voice and accent she has given Lady Diana Beckinsale.

Beautifully written and performed.

Usually I love a narration by Abby Craden but the English accents need a lot of work. Story a bit light and fluffy for this author but nice overall.

Easy to follow sweet story
