To Marry a Morgan

I love historical romance. My shelves are packed with them and I always turn to historical romance when I'm in a reading slump. But To Marry a Morgan just didn't work for me, I'm sorry to say.

It took me three tries to get past the first couple chapters. I can partially blame multitasking, but I kept finding myself confused as to what what happening in the story. And once it finally made some strange sort of sense, I just couldn't believe the misunderstanding that was happening between all the parties involved.

But really, the biggest downfall of this story and what made it hard for me to listen to was the narration. I read other reviews and I just can't believe we were listening to the same book. While Ms Green's pacing was decent, if not a touch slow, there was something in her speech that just grated on my nerves. I'm not sure if it was a bit of a lisp or excessive saliva, but I was just so distracted by her speech that I just wasn't enjoying listening to the story. On the flip side, her British accent was appropriate for the story and she did a fair job of creating a variety of voices for the characters.

I have the next book in the series and I'm hesitant to listen. I'm just not sure that this author and narrator are for me.

I did receive this book for free to review. All opinions are my own.
