I enjoyed it but....

I enjoyed this book and the narration was pretty good. I have acclimated to Justin Eyre's style and am no longer distracted by it.

The story was about a young lady trying to keep her household together after her brother dies. She assumes the role of investigative journalist writing intriguing stories for wages. However, while investigating a story about bordellos she was taken from the Bordello by her brother's friend who promised to look out for her, thinking to reform her ways. There is good dialogue and enough inner thoughts to help you understand the character's perspective. Maggie is a strong, capable, independent female who is not overly concerned with social conventions. James is the typical strong, protective, stubborn male who fights his feelings for Maggie. Overall I enjoyed listening to the story and laughed out loud at times.

What I found a little frustrating were: 1. It was ridiculous to me that he did not just come right out and ask her if she was working at the bordello instead of dancing around the topic until more than half the book was over. One conversation would have cleared up the misunderstanding. Nevertheless, the mishaps leading up to James learning she was not a prostitute were entertaining. 2. The reason for the attempts on her life was absolutely weak and this fact disappointed me. I believe the author could have come up with something better or more believable. 3. The ending. I absolutely hate when authors wait until the last 20 minutes of the story to resolve the conflict, leaving the reader/listener feeling like the story is not finished.

Despite all of these frustrations I did enjoy listening. Is it worth a credit? Maybe..

Stupid, stupid stupid heroine

I stopped listening at chapter 12 & should have stopped @ 8. Stubborn is one thing but stupid is stupid. Maggie, the herione, is the most thoughtless creature ever. Unfortunately Justine Eyre didn't help. Her voice hurts my ears.

One of my favorite authors

Great storytelling .. Seasoned writer. After reading some freebies and some newbies it’s very refreshing to go back to some of the more seasoned writers where you get depth, substance, and characters that are enjoyable. I liked the story. The only thing I did not like was, their very first sexual encounter. I thought it was rather tacky. Especially for a virgin and a “gentleman”. Anyway… You’ll get there. Other than that, I enjoyed the story very much. Onto the next!

Excellent Story!

As usual, Lynsay Sands gives us a historical romance filled with action, humor, and love. The narrator did a great job with the female voices, but the voice she gave the lead male character left much to be desired. It would have been better suited for a snooty butler, not a strong viral male lead.

A Lady in Disquise

This was a slow moving book in the beginning but it had some twist and turns that made it a delightful listen.

The narrator has a pleasant voice for each character and knows how to bring the characters alive.

Recommend to listen.

ugh!

it was an interesting premise but it was too silly and too much sex

Lynsay Sands was never a erotic author before

It's a flip of coin now what an audiobook will contain. Audible should be more forthcoming about their books

Wonderful story!

Second time listing to it. Looking forward to other books written by Lynsay Sands. Narrator was excellent.

Heroine is a bit too stupid to be believed.

I always enjoy Lynsay Sands writing but this was a character I couldn't cheer on. She acted like the àctor in horror films who stupidly goes into the dark basement and gets eaten, repeatedly! Had trouble sticking with it to the end. Most of her writing is witty and humorous with characters you can love but this was blah...choose one of her other titles.
