Historical Romance Audiobook Review
Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean
Narrated by Carolyn Morris Sarah MacLean’s first historical romance is a rake-meets-wallflower story which, I confess, is one of my favourite tropes in the genre. I do so love watching the sophisticated ladies’ man and serial avoider of emotional entanglements…
Happily Bedded Bliss by Tracy Anne Warren
Narrated by Charlotte Anne Dore I enjoyed Happily Bedded Bliss when I read it a couple of months ago and was looking forward to listening to the audiobook version. The previous book in the series, The Bedding Proposal, boasted both…

My American Duchess by Eloisa James
Narrated by Kate Reading I don’t mind admitting that Eloisa James is one of those authors who is a bit hit and miss for me. I know she’s got a huge following who absolutely adore her books, so this is…
