The Raven Prince

Audiobook: Narrator – Moira Quirk This was an excellent audiobook, the narrator bringing each character to life and giving voice to both male and females in a way that worked for me. The more sensual scenes were exquisite as she utilized a gruffer voice for the hero and I completely forgot this was a woman telling the story. This is the perfect grumpy, grouchy, rude and huge hero! I loved him! Anna is sweet and caring but strong and independent. Her past has left her with a dislike for marriage and having learned that dislike the hard way, she has no desire to experience it again. However, she would like to learn a bit more about her employer the Earl of Sartingham and disguising herself to do so will give her an insight that is quite scandalous. Edward is a proud man with a rich heritage. His main goal in life is to continue his family line. His own late wife taught him the hard truth of what to look for in a future wife and what he’s looking for was absolutely heartbreaking. He was such a brusque and grumpy man with everyone, even Anna, but as his heart gives way she finds a softer side to him. I loved the dynamic between Anna and Edward. Their give and take was entertaining as Edward came up against someone who would stand up to him. The fact that someone was a woman just added to the overall enjoyment of the story. I’ll definitely be moving on to the next one in the series.
