I’m over at AudioGals with a review of the Salt Hendon Collection by Lucinda Brant, narrated by Alex Wyndham. ALEX WYNDHAM. That is all.
I mentioned in this post that the audiobooks listed at AudioGals were my favourite listens where my reviews were posted there and I planned to do a post here to make up my top ten. My sense of fairness was pricked by leaving out the excellent romance audios I listened to from my own library or provided direct to me by publishers/authors. In no particular order, the other top five are:
Noble Satyr by Lucinda Brant, narrated by Alex Wyndham. My list could not have been complete without at least one Brant title. Alex Wyndham was my “find” of 2015 in terms of excellent new narrators. His work here is stellar and the story is excellent too. Georgian romances featuring rakish and mysteriously enigmatic heroes are my catnip. Continue reading
Why I read it: I was provided with a review copy via the author.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) France and England in the age of hedonism and enlightenment
A green-eyed beauty is abandoned at the court of Versailles
The predatory Comte de Salvan plots her seduction
An all-powerful adversary snatches her to safety
But is he noble savior or a satyr most despicable?
Antonia is pursued by the lascivious Comte de Salvan who wants her as a mistress. When the libertine Duke of Roxton snatches her from Salvan’s clutches, she believes herself rescued. Has she merely swapped one seducer for another? Will Roxton save Antonia from the Comte? Can Antonia save the Duke from himself?
What worked for me (and what didn’t): I listened to Dair Devil recently. In that book, Rory and Dair row to Swan Island, on the Duke of Roxton’s estate in the country, Treat, and, among other things, admire some rather scandalous tapestries in a folly there. The tapestries tell the story of the marriage of Antonia, Duchess of Roxton and her duke. Ever since I heard the description of the tapestries, I wanted to know the beginning of the story. And so, I stalked Audible until Noble Satyr was available and shamelessly (honestly, there was no shame whatsoever involved) reminded the author of her (generous) offer of a download code.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Dair Devil by Lucinda Brant, narrated by Alex Wyndham. I have run out of superlatives to describe the narration. Alex Wyndham is all the things.
I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Deadly Affair by Lucinda Brant, narrated by Alex Wyndham. It’s a mystery with a hint of romance. I enjoyed it but would have liked more romance (are you surprised?). On the (major) plus side, the narration was excellent.
