About this listen
Noble Satyr: A Georgian Historical Romance
1740s France and England - the age of hedonism and enlightenment. Renard, Duke of Roxton, is wealthy beyond measure. Arrogant and self assured, his heart remains his own. Optimistic and headstrong, Antonia Moran is determined to flee the Court of Versailles with the Duke's unwitting assistance. Roxton is an unlikely savior - arrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia's unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing.
A classic "Beauty and the Beast" tale, this award-winning historical romance is a homage to Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is an entertaining listen.What other book might you compare Noble Satyr to, and why?
The book follows the theme of Georgette Heyer's Three Old Shades, one of Heyer's books, that I am not that fond of, even though the follow up Devil's Cub is one of my favourites. Lucinda Brand takes the general story idea and makes it much better.Have you listened to any of Alex Wyndham’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not yet, but I will certainly consider, he does very well indeed.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Took me only two days.Any additional comments?
This is part of a series that from what I read has hupe time gaps between the books, so I have read, that listening to the whole series in a matter of days might not be a good idea.Very entertaining story with a lot of twists

What did you like most about Noble Satyr?
Everything! I adore Lucinda Brant's writing anyway but since she has ventured into audio with Alex Wyndham there is just nothing I do not like. I do particularly love the Georgian period and Lucinda Brant's meticulous research and fascinating descriptions of the dress, customs and furnishings brings it all alive.Who was your favorite character and why?
It has to be the dissolute Renard, Duke of Roxton. I love a story about a bad boy come good and this is one of the best I've read/listened to.What about Alex Wyndham’s performance did you like?
He captured Renard at every turn; in the beginning, the dissolute, jaded, drawling, couldn't-care-less aristocrat. Eventually when smitten by the enticing Antonia, Wyndham changes the timbre of his voice so slightly but oh so effectively that we just know - he's hooked!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! And I almost did.Any additional comments?
The combination of Lucinda Brant and Alex Wyndham is electrifying. These people are on the same wavelength and I eagerly await every book that they conspire on.Lucinda Brant and Alex Wyndham - a dream team!

What did you like most about Noble Satyr?
Noble Satyr in my opinion is the best book by Lucinda Brant. The story line is so full on with emotional scenes, dramatic ones, lighthearted ones, and you can't help but all in love with Antonia the main female character in the story. Alex Wyndham's performance of this book makes the story come to life and you are living through her trials and tribulations thanks to his exquisite portrayal of all the characters in the book.What was one of the most memorable moments of Noble Satyr?
I can't go into detail about the most memorable moments because I don't want to give spoilers. What I will say is that the moments usually are involving the Duke and Antonia, and one scene in particular involves a beloved pet. All emotional moments, be it extreme happiness, or utter despair, but all are memorable in their own way.Which character – as performed by Alex Wyndham – was your favourite?
Funnily enough although Alex Wyndham performs ALL of the characters to perfection, so much so that you entirely forget that it is just one person performing all the parts! My favourite character has to be Lord Valentine. He is such a funny character, so proud, and so righteous when it comes to the treatment of Antonia, and yet his command of English isn't perfect, and I just love the way Lucinda wrote his character and how Alex performed him. He is a most lovable character and I would love to know somebody like him in real life.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes absolutely this book is one I was desperate to listen to all at once. Unfortunately at over 10 hours long that was an impossibility for me. I nearly managed it in two sittings, but as the second one led into the very wee hours of the morning and I had an early appointment that day, I had to stop listening with just one hour left to go. I happily got the chance to listen to that on my third sitting and in that one hour I was absolutely enthralled at how the story came to it's conclusion.Any additional comments?
I will say this about each and every book that Lucinda writes and which Alex performs, they make the perfect partnership. Lucinda's characters and their story lines are so exciting, and tug at the old heart strings, and then Alex's portrayal of them teamed with his normal, smooth as silk, narrating voice, it just makes for best kind of audio book available. I hope they continue their partnership for each and every book Lucinda writes.5 Stars Just Do Not Cover It
