Book description
My Dearest Reader,
I must confess, I went into this audiobook with considerable trepidation. The title alone had me questioning my life choices. Yet here I am, frantically scribbling notes by candlelight, utterly captivated by Lucinda Lee's deliciously scandalous creation.
Our heroine Daphne is no simpering Victorian miss-she's a woman who knows her own mind, even when that mind is thoroughly bewitched by the formidable Lord Cranham. The narrator's voice captures Daphne's spirited defiance perfectly, especially when she's batting away unwanted proposals with that wonderfully described "tattered reticule." One can almost hear the exasperated sigh in her voice when faced with yet another fortune hunter.
But Cranham-oh, Cranham is something else entirely. The audiobook's performer gives him this deep, authoritative tone that sends delightful shivers through even the most proper listener. When he's discussing "treatments in feminine pleasure," the narrator's voice drops to this intimate whisper that makes one forget entirely about one's surroundings.
The Gothic atmosphere is rendered beautifully through sound-the creak of leather, the rustle of Victorian fabrics, the barely audible gasps during those delightfully explicit scenes. I found myself holding my breath during Daphne's examination scenes, the clinical precision of Cranham's voice contrasting so deliciously with the underlying passion.
What truly sets this audiobook apart is its dual perspective. Just when you think you understand Daphne's predicament, we're granted access to Cranham's thoughts, and dear reader, they are exceedingly entertaining. The narrator handles these shifts masterfully, giving each character their distinct voice while maintaining the story's relentless momentum.
The cliffhanger ending had me literally talking to my headphones, demanding more. Lee has crafted something genuinely original here-a reverse harem that feels fresh, characters who earn their happy ending, and an audiobook experience that's as emotionally satisfying as it is physically thrilling.
Simply magnificent.
Yours in literary indulgence,
A Most Satisfied Listener
