A fun regency with a few fairy tale elements. The culmination of everything came rather quickly, but it was a very enjoyable read. Great characters and a strong storyline.
I received a free copy of this book in a boxset from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This is a great Historical Romance. This is the third book in the Ever Beloved Series, but I haven’t listened to the first books in the Series yet. Annalise and Ryan are two lost souls, suffering of bad guardians and mistreatment. I like their story, and their journey to happiness and love! The story is well written, filled with twists and turns. The characters are well developed. I like the ending. Verona Westbrook did a good narration, but the characters weren’t easy to distinguish. I enjoyed listening to this story. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.
Lovely story!
What a big selection of really bad and evil people! Each of them playing their part in the budding romance between the two decent characters, Annalise and Ryan, both of whom have been dealt the worst of situations and contacts in their early lives.
(Just as a matter of interest, it is quite interesting to see the Cinderella role being played by a male for a change. A really novel concept.)
Things change for the better when they meet and they just keep on improving until we read the ‘happily ever after’ at the end.
The story is nicely written but it dropped a star in my rating as I felt it could have been faster paced – but don’t get me wrong, its still a lovely story!
Verona Westbrook is the narrator and she read quite well.
I requested, received and listened to a copy of the audiobook and my review above is given voluntarily and is unbiased.
