Romaaance !
Read impeccably, this is a feast of Pure Romance. It's the perfect duration to enjoy on a drive. I've listened to this book over and over and have actually memorized a lot of the poems, which is cool. It is very short for the price though, so I recommend getting it during a sale. I bought it for $5 when audible was having a sale on classics.

Perfect Voice
Richard Armitage reads love poems with a voice like a goblet of Merlot poured from a thick glass decanter waiting next to crimson rose petals scattered across a chenille duvet over down and crisp linen laid out smooth on the feather bed with the maroon velvet bed curtains held back with but the loosest of ties.

You'll want to hear Richard Armitage reading these
This is such a treat! Richard Armitage's liquid baritone hits all the right notes. You'll find yourself listening to the poems repeatedly, anticipating that slight inflection or pause that makes all the difference. I loved the Emerson poem best, but they are all a gift. Thank you Audible, and thank you Richard Armitage!

Amazing!
Would you consider the audio edition of FREE: Classic Love Poems to be better than the print version?
Yes, because poetry should always be read out loud.
What did you like best about this story?
All the poems are quickly becoming my favorites.
What about Richard Armitage’s performance did you like?
His voice obviously. I could seriously fall asleep listening to him read.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I have several time already.
Any additional comments?
Mr. Armitage needs to record more stuff for Audible.

I was unable to fall asleep. I looked around and heard a small sample and my body shivered with delight. I fell asleep with the wonderful voice of Richard Armitage whispering beautiful poems in my ears. What a wonderful way to fall asleep. Thank You.
