After re-reading reviews from others, I feel certain that these people didn't actually read the book but skimmed through it.Īlthough I enjoy passion in my stories, if tastefully done, I also enjoy the ones where the draw between H/H is palpable and without any physical touching as it is here with this storyline. This seems to be a continuous theme throughout. More than an hour and a half to go and the author just portrayed a woman that can't be 50 with serious dementia. Historical detail aside - Save your credit. I buy books that I can read or listen to again and again and I won't be listening to this one again. I still have 3 hours to go and I don't think I can stand it anymore. I found the book to be fussy and so slow, even though I was interested in the story and finding out how it ended. More than a big issue for me was the portrayal about the mental faculties of a 48-year-old man. Sutton spending many hours in the late day in Claire's bedroom keeping her awake after a head injury, for one. I don't think audible made it clear that it was an inspirational romance first off (my mistake) and there were situations that seem highly unlikely in mid-19th-century among the wealthy and affluent. The book just seems wrong on so many levels. I just didn't enjoy listening to her read from the perspective of a 19-year-old young woman character and very little differentiation between any of the other characters. Don't get me wrong - the voice actor has a very pleasant voice.
