Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-20 00:00:00 Wade Mashburn I've given this a C for narration and a D for content at AudioGals. I suppose I should have known what I was letting myself in for when I read the title and synopsis of Bold Angel: "Saxon beauty Caryn of Ivesham longed to escape the chill gray cloisters of the convent to which she'd fled-but not in marriage to the towering, feared Raolfe de Gere, the Norman knight they called Ral the Relentless." It goes on to tell how the "darkly handsome warlord's blood coursed with desire for Caryn's burnished crimson lips" … yeah, I should probably have moved on at that point, but I had decided I wanted to listen to Lucy Rayner, who has been listed as the narrator of several Julia Quinn romances being released in December (Splendid, Dancing at Midnight and Minx), in order to get an idea of her abilities and performance style. The result is a mixed bag. It probably didn't help that the story is unoriginal and the heroine made me want to wring her neck for pretty much the entire (seemingly interminable) fourteen hours and forty minutes of the audiobook. And I couldn't help thinking that Ms. Rayner's crystal-clear tones - while not unpleasant - are rather too bright for a romance. I kept expecting her to shout "jolly hockey sticks!" à la Joyce Grenfell whenever things got heated, difficult or angsty. You can read the rest of this review at AudioGals.
