À propos de cet audio

Audie Award, Romance, 2016

Dorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless villain. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of Victorian London's wealthiest, most influential men who will stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on those who've wronged him... and will fight to the death to seize what he wants. The lovely, still innocent widow Farah Leigh Mackenzie is no exception-and soon Dorian whisks the beautiful lass away to his sanctuary in the wild Highlands.... But Farah is no one's puppet. She possesses a powerful secret-one that threatens her very life. When being held captive by Dorian proves to be the only way to keep Farah safe from those who would see her dead, Dorian makes Farah a scandalous proposition: marry him for protection in exchange for using her secret to help him exact revenge on his enemies. But what the Blackheart of Ben More never could have imagined is that Farah has terms of her own, igniting a tempestuous desire that consumes them both. Could it be that the woman he captured is the only one who can touch the black heart he'd long thought dead?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Captured me from page one and never let go. Romantic, lush, and suspenseful." (Suzanne Enoch, author of The Devil Wears Kilts)

"[Narrator Derek] Perkins's command of accents and tone creates a cast of delightfully diverse characters.... Perkins's range of voices and timing makes for entertaining and telling repartee between the characters as well as adds to the suspense as the real villains of this romance reveal themselves."

Enjoyed the story
Liked the narrator for Male character, however for the female characters it made them sound odd - not matching the picture they paint of Farrah

Wish they had a female narrator for Farrah

It was an interesting story, but I did not enjoy the voices projected in the audio. It could be the accent, so I will try to read it instead to see if I will enjoy it better. Overall, an excellent story.

A story of child hood love separated

the main plot of the story is very predictable but that did not at all detract from the fun of the story or the beauty of the writing. I'm excited to look into more of this author's works now. and that audio was performed well. good pacing and the use of voices and different accents is always appreciated.

beautifully written

It's a story that you know all the beats of from the first chapter, but it's relatively well written most of the time. The violence against the female lead also isn't handled appropriately at all. It's quite difficult to like any of the romance when so much of it begins completely nonconsentually and is then painted as a good thing. The performance is generally good, but the female lead's accent is pretty inconsistent paragraph to paragraph, like they weren't super practiced at that particular accent.

Basic story and inconsistent voice acting but decent

I found the story very interesting. The characters were well described. A dark yet exciting combination of tragic happenings. This was a book that had a very refreshing and much needed take on love. No cookie cutter romance found in a million other books. My only complaint is the voice of the main female character. Don’t understand why they can not have a woman and man work together to audio the books. Technology should allow this to happen easily and it would so be worth spending a few extra dollars a book to have that happen.

Great story.

Engaging, lush and steamy with hints of darkness. Well written and well narrated. I've already downloaded the next book in the series.
