Barely okay book with wonderful narration..

Okay, every once in a while, I have to stop my murder mysteries and go back to my historical romances for a minute. AND a minute is about all I can stand. I always forget what stupid decisions and ideas authors have the heroines make. It was hard to like Elizabeth at times. I mean, her idea of marrying Henry but never telling him that Samuel was his son was the stupidest thing ever.

The only reason I finished this book was to find out what happened between Riddledale, Henry, Elizabeth and Josh (Elizabeth’s brother, who was also a Duke.) Riddledale’s craziness was what made this worth reading.

There were two sex scenes in this and the first one was in the most ridiculous place ever and the second one was just too long. I thought I’d never get through skimming pages before I reached the end. There was no swearing to speak of.

As to the narration: Actually, the only reason I bought this in the first place was because Stevie Zimmerman was narrating. Her voices and emotions when she reads is awesome.

The Best!!!

Tamara Gill is one of my favorite authors so to bring the story alive on audible was amazing! The voice creates another dimension to the written word that cannot surpass when done well. Stevie Zimmerman is a master at character voices, bringing the perfect set of emotion and depth that is needed. With these two together, trust me you do not want to miss this story!!

A sexy historical romance

Only an Earl will Do is a sexy historical romance with a Scottish Earl and the widow he left behind. The story is entertaining, if a bit melodramatic at times with a dastardly villain who’ll stop at nothing to win the fair lady as his bride. The main hero is a bit of a rake himself, and there were many times I wanted the heroine to choose another suitor. Overall though it’s an entertaining story.

Contains graphic sex scenes. This is not a clean romance.

The narrator does a pretty good job with the book. Her voice fits the story, and she is pretty good with the characters voices.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Deception

A great story of misunderstanding and a deception to keep two people in love apart. When they meet again and start to rekindle their relationship some one does not want them together and will stop at nothing to do it. Wonderful narrator. I received a complimentary audio and this review is voluntary.

True Love

Tamara’s story kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. I wanted to know if how and when the hero and heroine would be together or if. The narrator had a clear voice that didn’t overpower the story. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Not worth the time/money

This is a very one dimensional book. There is a good woman, a good man, a misunderstanding/secret and a villan. I have only read approx. 1 hour, but here is my guess...
The villan blackmails the heroine. She tries to push the hero away to be noble. There is no communication, just a lot of avoidance. In the end the villan is kicked to the curb. The hero and heroine have a HEA. No twists or turns, but everyone in their standard roles.
A waste of time with even less interesting dialogue. I have started to review books in a series, so that I can avoid making a mistake with additional books in the series. The next book has just come out, so will have to pass.
