Compromised

De: Kate Noble

Narrado por: Rosalind Ashford

From a dazzling new voice in historical fiction comes a "delectable and delightful debut" about a pair of mismatched lovers who unwillingly find themselves engaged in a most scandalous position....

Miss Gail Alton was not having a good day. Or a good year. First, she's strong-armed into attending the Season as a foil to her beautiful sister,Evangeline. Then, while riding her mare in the park, she gets toppled by a stuffy, self-important, too-handsome-by-half "gentleman" who has the audacity to blame her for their fall into the chilly lake! Little does Gail know that the very same man will soon be found in a compromising position with her sister....

Forced into asking for Evangeline's hand in marriage, Maximillian, Viscount Fontaine, can't take his mind off the irksome girl who threw him from his horse and who can match wits with him at every turn. He's determined to follow through with his best intentions, yet he can't deny that Gail makes him want to cast propriety aside - and whisk away the sister of his soon-to-be bride....

Fun and easy listening :)

What made the experience of listening to Compromised the most enjoyable?

The performance of the storyteller, and a light and fun story line.

Have you listened to any of Rosalind Ashford’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I dont think so

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, not particularly

Any additional comments?

If you are in need of humor and romance, then you should enjoy this book.

Sweetest Ending

Maybe it’s the political harshness of the past 4 years or maybe it’s the pandemic sadness that brings this on but this particular book had such a sweetness about it that I could not help but love the ending. Predictable of course but so lovingly constructed that I smiled more than once and perhaps a tear even escaped. Women who stand together are an unstoppable force and a lesson in all times.
This is not a Blue Raven series book but a stand-alone that can be enjoyed for the sweet (and a little spicy) romance that it is.

ten stars......

A romance addicts perfect fix... ladies, lords..... romance...petticoats and social angst and lovely prose.. loved it and the ending was perfect. I plan on finding everything I can from this author.

Good but predictable very early in the story

I enjoyed the story but figured out very early on what was going to happen. Would still recommend it though.

I loved it

Couldn’t put it down. Great characters and funny too. Good story as well. The narrator was perfect in voicing the characters.

Loved the book - spoiler alerts below

I happen to like Kate Noble’s books.
I loved the change of heart with certain characters in the book.
I loved the growth many characters experienced. Especially as they grew to love not just their live interest but other parties as well.
I loved the woman standing up for ea other.
I loved the quick witted humor at certain points.
The only criticism is the length of the audio at 14hrs+ if I recall correctly.

Hilarious story but let down by the narrator

I haven't laughed this much listening to an audio book in quite a while! A wonderfully crafted storyline sprinkled with a good dose of humour throughout, it's sure to keep listeners entertained.

The let-down for me was the at times monotonous and uncreative performance of the narrator but if you can persevere, you're sure to get a great listen out of this book

Incredibly Enjoyable!

I listen to a LOT of romance novels and I found "Compromised" to be an incredibly enjoyable novel. The character development was excellent and the storyline was very engaging. I was caught up in the development of the central characters relationship as well as the supporting characters. At times I found myself laughing out loud. As good as the story was, I can't say that I liked the narration. I felt her drone like voice at times distracting.

Nice but...

The story was nice, but it was waaaaay to much useless dribble in the atory...it made the story longer than necessary. Thank goodness it was free.

excellent narrative

clean, witty and lovely story. I was quite surprised with it. I am immensely happy that I decided to listen to this book. the narrator is perfect for this book.
