I received this book free to review. However, all thoughts are my own.

Let's start with the narration of Julia Eve since it was the highlight of the book for me. I loved Julia's British accent . It was clear and her pacing was great. I enjoyed that she did different voices for each of the characters, as it helped the story become more alive. This was my first audio from Julia Eve, but I'll definitely be listening to more in the future.

Now on to the story. It's an okay story. It's pretty obvious that it's the debut novel from the author. It's not bad... it's more underdeveloped for my tastes. I could have used a bit more background, character growth and even romance development. As it stands, the book takes place over a short period of time and it's evident that the main characters have somewhat of a history and it's more of them coming to the realization that they have feelings for one another.

I'll probably give this series and author another chance just to see if they get better with experience. But that said, if you like an uncomplicated regency novella, give this one a try.
