A Game of Hearts

De: Joanna Barker

Narrado por: Janna Fox

If you can't join them, beat them.

Marigold Cartwell has only one goal: to defeat her long-time rival on the archery field. She knows she can outshoot irritating, cynical Tristan Gates, but the local bowmen’s society—the one he belongs to—refuses to allow women to compete. Spurred on by their rejection, Marigold decides to start a new society. Naturally, it has only one rule: no men.

Tristan Gates is used to Marigold Cartwell always getting her way, so he is far from surprised when she forms her own society. He knows how relentless she can be, something he learned firsthand facing her at the targets. But Tristan has enough worries of his own, what with his bachelor uncle falling in love with a fortune hunter. He has no time to entertain Marigold’s ambitions.

However, after a visit to the seashore ends in disaster—and scandal—Marigold and Tristan soon realize how little they know about each other. The strained tension between them quickly turns to simmering attraction, but an important archery competition looms ahead. Lines are drawn all around them, with Marigold and Tristan on opposite sides, and neither can afford to lose. Yet winning might be the very thing to tear them apart.

Amazing Clean Regency Era Romance Must listen/read

I loved this story so much. It had a lot of different aspects that kept it interesting. It is not your typical Regency romance by an means. I'd read it a while ago, and it became one of my top 3 favorites. When the audio version was made available, I knew I had to have it. I prefer to listen to books. Since I knew I loved this one after reading it, I had to listen as well!

The narrator is fantastic. I will admit that sometimes I thought her voice got a bit high and whiny. Then I paid closer attention and realized that was just for certain characters. This is a dual point of view story with a single narrator. But she doesn't amazing jo and with all of the characters, and there are quite a few that speak.

I cannot give the book and the audio narration enough stars! Please give it a try!

Joanna Barker books are dynamite 🧨

Fantastic book!
A true enemies to lovers book full of the tensions I love, and banter I desire.
Great performance from the narrator as well.
Will never miss a Joanna Barker book.
That’s it.
The end.

Loved this story

This was such a wonderful and engaging novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to listening to another book by this author

Very enjoyable.

The narrator did a good job with all voices. The author did a good job of bringing the characters to life.

Absolutely wonderful!!!!!! A must read and a must listen to!

This book! Such an incredible enemies/rivals to more story! It is an all time favorite that I’m completely head over heels in love with! This is a book that I wanted to start all over again right after I finished reading it!

When the audiobook came out I knew that I needed to listen to it!!! I enjoyed it so much! The narrator is fantastic and I was swept away into the regency era right along with Tristan and Marigold! The story really came alive for me and I loved hearing it read in a British accent! The narrator also did all of the voices so well. I was very impressed with the male voices! Sometimes they’re hard to get right, but Janna Fox did a fantastic job!

This is the most amazing story full of competition, witty banter, character growth, attraction, chemistry, the swooniest kisses that’ll melt you into a puddle, and the sweetest relationship that grows and changes through out the story which was a joy to watch! I love the family, the archery, the most wonderful MC’s that you will fall in love with, the romance, the gorgeous setting, the beautiful writing, and the dual point of view!

This is a must read and a must listen to for anyone who wants to be swept away into a sweet slow burn regency romance that you won’t be able to put down!

Thank you so much to the author for a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Beautiful tale of unexpected love.

A very well written love story about family, friends and finding your one. Magically written. I loved the competitive spirit in Mary and all the support she had.

Witty, endearing, exciting and just plain perfect!

Joanna Barker has done what I love most about a good book - written a story that unfolds in a way so you feel like you are there with the characters - cheering, crying and rooting for them to lean in for the kiss. Marigold and Tristan are so believable in their distaste for each other, that seeing the twists and turns of not only their archery competitions, but of how they fall in love is extra rewarding. The side stories are so perfectly weaved throughout that I was endeared to even the family and friends. I wanted to book to go on forever. This book is full of witty banter, exciting adventures, surprising turns, and just the most perfectly romantic moments. Narrator Janna Fox did a wonderful job bringing these spirited characters to life.

💛💛💛

I loved this book when I read it, and it was just as good the second time through listening to it! The voice actor did an amazing job—of course, that’s not too hard when you’ve got great material to work with:)
