Period love story between two people who fell in love at first sight.

As I didn't read about the story; just chosing a short story from the plus catalogue, liking period books, I assumed it would be a love story between a Lord and a young debutant. To my surprise, it was a love story between a Lord and a young man.
I cried, I chuckled ; it was a beautiful story of finding true love.
The stories of the main 3 characters in the murderers... was so sad and heart wrenching.
if I had known what the story was about I wouldn't have chosen it. But, by the time I realised, I was invested in the murderers, and the love story between two beautiful people who found each other.
Loved it!

Cornell Collins is a fantastic narrator.

I reread and listened to this story written by the amazing KJ Charles. Beautifully and skilfully performed by Cornell Collins.

I think this is my absolute favourite audiobook!

Love this story and the narration. Love, friendship, debauching, tree-climbing, portrait-painting, stone monsters and more.

Brilliant!!

Audio Review

Well done Cornell Collins aka Matthew Lloyd Davies for restoring my faith in narrators. I loved this story so much, and to be honest, was quite annoyed when I saw who was narrating it BUT pulled up my big girl pants and decided to take a chance on it. FAB-U-LOUS!! I particularly liked his voice for Lord Corvin, although his West Indian accent for John Raven could do with some work [sounded more Welsh than anything 😉]. Aunt Beatrice was suitably awful...as was her dreadful husband, and the Reverend whatever his name was, predictably boring. I absolutely ADORE Guy, Sir Philip and especially that little strumpet of a sister Amanda. Fantastic.

Book Review

5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me...oh, and 5 💜💛💙💚🧡 too for Philip and Guy's lovely, gentle romance.

The laughs, the sarcasm, the naughty Latin words [former bored Latin scholar here hehe], the comeuppance for the dreadful Aunt Beatrice 😝, but most of all the brilliant Murder [read the story, you'll then understand the reference] Hellfire Club and more importantly its witty members, who were supportive of Philip to a man.

Lots of authors try to imitate KJ Charles, but she reigns supreme as far as this reader is concerned for her marvellous wit and delicious characters. Bravo!!

Great story from my favourite romance author

KJ Charles does dialogue and banter and characters so well. She always finds details to make her characters believable and unique. This story is no exception and I loved having a strong-minded, accomplished female character thrown in as well. The bedroom scenes are delightfully caring and awkward and deliciously steamy. Great narration too. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

A jewel of a book

I love the description "Heyer-but-gayer". Of all the regency romances I have read, this is the first one I have found as funny and satisfying as an actual Georgette, albeit with a lot more sex. It's also a fun twist on the plot of Venetia, with the brother being the love interest instead of the sister. Heyer fans will enjoy spotting all the similarities in both characters and setup.

Wonderful narration too. Don't expect anything too heavyweight, but it's a delight from beginning to end.

Very Enjoyable

Very enjoyable to listen to. Good story with great characters. The ending felt a little lacklustre, perhaps a short chapter set a few months later would have been nice. Still a very good story to listen to. Well narrated as well.
