It is disappointing not to hear all of Heyer’s great narrative and Richard’s sultry voice, but I am not complaining. I will take as much of him as I can get and hope for more.

Darn it!

Sylvester is one of my favourite Heyer novels as well, my favourite supporting characters were the cute nephew. The way he’s a little awed and afraid of his wicked uncle!

I had never heard of her work before, but when I mentioned this product to my Mum , she mentioned how she had read many of her books while she was pregnant with me. We both really enjoyed listening to RA as he told the tale
