Rescued from Ruin

Volume 1

De: Elisa Braden

Narrado por: Mary Sarah

Volume One includes four full-length novels:

Ever Yours, Annabelle: As a girl, Annabelle Huxley chased Robert Conrad with reckless abandon, and he always rescued her when she pushed too far - until the accident that cost him everything.

The Madness of Viscount Atherbourne: Victoria Lacey's life is perfect-perfectly boring. Surely no one suspects her secret longing for head-spinning passion. Except a dark stranger, on a terrace, at a ball where she should not be kissing a man she has just met.

The Truth About Cads and Dukes: Painfully shy Jane Huxley is in a most precarious position, thanks to dissolute charmer Colin Lacey's deceitful wager. Now, his brother, the icy Duke of Blackmore, must make it right, even if it means marrying her himself.

Desperately Seeking a Scoundrel: Tortured and hunted by a brutal criminal, Lord Colin Lacey is rescued from death's door by the stubborn, fetching Sarah Battersby. In return, she asks one small favor: Pretend to be her fiance. With danger nipping his heels, he knows it is wrong to want her, wrong to agree to her terms. But when has Colin Lacey ever done the sensible thing?

Contains mature themes.

These books were wonderful.

These books was so wonderful, but I have to say my favorite was the CAD book. The Duke and Jane were my absolute favorite. I would definitely recommend the boobs. The storyline click through all four books and continue beyond these four books. What annoys me is that people are putting down the narrator, if you can do this better than she could then by all means go ahead. It’s not an easy job. So let’s give credit where credit is due. If you don’t like narrations then just buy
a book and read it yourself. ..Stay bless everyone

New Author to Me.

I loved getting four books within one title. There are two more after this. Can't wait for the next set. Great introduction to a new author that I haven't read before.

Mixed feelings

I like all but the viscount story. Spoiler: He’s controlling and cruel to her and at one point she blames a woman for completing suicide. I almost DNF’d but I’m glad I pushed thru. You could skip that one and the rest make sense. The narrator had a weird way of pronouncing words and is super slow.

Don’t hesitate, listen

Do not be put off by the narrator reviews.

The first book is not her best, BUT, I thought she might not have hit her stride and I am so glad I stayed with it. She is wonderful, her characters are fully realized, and even the male voices are believable. That is very hard for a female narrator.

The author is very good also, great humor, brilliant use of language/vocabulary , no fluff. I listened to all 9 books and will keep them in my listen again collection.
So sorry to see it end.

skip the 1st book (narration is difficult to bear)

the narration for 1st book was just.. too dreamy and breathless to the point of cringe.

start with book 2 (chapter 24). the narrator gets much better by the 2nd book and on.

Awesome 👏🏻 🥰

I agree narration was wonderful and the story kept evolving to keep your interest. It has variety, scandal and romance what more could you ask for but wait then you get 4 books for one credit. I already purchased the second set in the series.

I loved The variations

Romantic, erotic, historic and variated novels to fall in love with. The last one also thrilling exitement :)

The story is great…

…the narrator of book one mocked readers with every “chapter” announcement. I could have handled her narration, which was bad, without comment, if she hadn’t mockingly announced each chapter. That made it unbearable.

The book itself was really good.

omg the narrator

I originally said: I just started chapter 2 of the first book in this set of 4 books and I seriously don't know if I can even finish chapter 2 because of this narrator.

Update: I sped up the speed of the narrarator on the first book in this set to 1.15 and it was then bearable enough to finish it. Stories 2-3 had better narraration, though I kept the faster speed throughout.

The stories were good. I'm glad I found a way to get through them. I do plan to download any further books in this series right away.

I can't do it

I enjoyed the first story. I suffered through most of the first story until I read a review that gave me the idea to speed it up. That allowed me to finish it at 1.32 speed. I didn't get through the first chapter of the second book and gave up. It was partly due to the story, but mostly due to the narrator. It is not my intent to be rude, I just couldn't deal with her style.
