Lady in Green by Barbara Metzger
Narrated by Stevie Zimmerman I’ve enjoyed a number of Barbara Metzger’s Regency Romances in print, and decided to listen to the recently released Lady in Green as it’s one I haven’t yet read. Her books are undoubtedly fluffy; those I’ve…
In Milady’s Chamber by Sheri Cobb South
Narrated by Joel Froomkin Sheri Cobb South’s The Weaver Takes a Wife is one of my favourite traditional Regencies, and while I know it’s available in audio, I didn’t like the narrator based on the sample available at Audible, so…
A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas

Narrated by Susie Riddell “Reader. I murdered him.” This is one of those books that would have passed me by had not one of my fellow reviewers at All About Romance picked it up and rated it highly. Her review…
Caz’s Classics Corner: Emma by Jane Austen
Narrated by Alison Larkin 2015 marked the 200th anniversary of the publication of Emma, which is actually my favourite of Jane Austen’s books. The opening lines are simply brilliant, telling the listener all they need to know about the heroine…
