Recency romance meets modern reality .

I received this audio book from the narrator free of charge in return for a review. I read a lot of historical fiction, historical mystery and sword & Sorcery Fantasy but romances really are not my favorite. I enjoyed the narration and performance quite a bit. The narrator does both female and male voices believably. The story is pretty simple two fans of history are hurt by divorce from selfish spouses are granted time travel by fairy God-people to experience their favorite period. Both find out real life back then was not all writers of fiction would make it out to be but they find and fall in love with one another. It is wrapped up with happy ending for all except the prick ex-husband and the historical story line bad guy.

Return to Regency

This was such a fun story! Catherine is struggling from the loss of her mother when her husband decides he's done and leaving with his current girlfriend. It's been 2 years but the change has been rough. Then her x throws her another curveball. So Catherine ends up spending her vacation alone, instead of with the kids as she had planned. During breakfast at the inn she meets Chris and grows to really like him. While Catherine is out shopping on her vacation she Is lead down an alley way the ends up being her secret porthole to the past. This is a crazy and fun adventure that's full of surprises and even a bit of danger. Nice job on the narration.

Interesting!

I liked this book, I thought it was really interesting and different. We usually get someone who is young and has no children or has never been married.
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook and others might too.
I would highly recommend it.

Fun Regency 😊

This is a fun yet different regency romance. It incorporates time travel with a good story and a splash of adventure. It's a well written tale of second chance love. The narration was spendid. Her pleasant voice made the characters come alive and kept the story fresh and interesting. I recommend to anyone who likes a different regency romance.

Enjoyable story

An interesting and a bit of an unusual twist on a time travel story. With travel back and forth between the two time periods, mystery, jealousy, misunderstandings, ruthless people and some cozy romance, this audiobook is an easy listening, enjoyable story with a few twists and some nice details of Regency times. Melanie Fraser’s (narrator of the audiobook) smooth British accent fit the story perfectly, especially since it was set in Bath, England. She gave the characters individual voices, kept the story moving forward at just the right pace and really contributed to the enjoyment of the story. An entertaining story with potential for a follow-up book.

Another great listen!

Audrey Harrison has a knack for creating Regency Romances. They are complete and real and palpable with characters you absolutely adore. With this listen, Harrison threw in time travel and raised the genre to an entirely new level!

The two main characters, Catherine and Chris, are the HEA you just want to see. They've both been through a lot. When they find each other, both in present day and 200 years earlier, a lot of issues are brought to the surface and through the crazy, wonderfulness happens.

Fraser's narration has never been better. She has a way of turning a phrase that makes you think she lived during the Regency period. She's really something special.

There are some wonderful subplots and dastardly deeds with this listen as well. All great fodder for a great HEA.

Enjoyable Time-Travel Romance

I had fun with this one. It wasn't completely what I had expected so I don't want to give anything away so I'm sorry if this comes of vague. The author does a great job with the plot and although I felt it started a little slow she does suck you into the story a little way in. This was also a fairly clean book - there was some use of language in the beginning but as it was used in a situation that made it understandable it didn't bother me and it didn't continue throughout the whole book. I felt the narrator also did a great job and was easy to listen to. There was some fun corkiness to the time travel and some fun little twists that kept my interest up so I would recommend this one to those that like the clean romances with the regency style to them.

For All The Jane Austen's Lovers

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

What a cute tale of a modern day, middle age, somewhat disillusioned romantic woman, and a die hard Jane Austen's fan in love with Regency's novels... In a moment in which Catherine life is in turmoil, this time-travel escape to a world she idolized, is just what the doctor prescribed. The practical heroine however, finds that life in Regency England has also many downfalls such as lack of indoor plumbing and adequate medical supplies... But her resourcefulness wins the day!
The sweet love story that begins in modern times and travels back 200 plus years is truly a timeless love. I enjoyed seeing how life in Jane Austen's time might appear to a modern woman used to a very different life style. You'll find yourself smiling a lot during the reading. There are situations that are inconceivable today but so much a part of that century's life.
Chris is the romantic hero that travels through time to pursue his true love and literally risks his life in doing so.
The narration is superb! A must read for all those fans of historical novels with a twist.

Great Listen!

I really enjoyed listening to this original story. Typically I don't listen to many time-travel stories, but this one pulled me in. I thought it was great that the main characters were able to go back and forth to regency Bath. The imagery in the story was so well done, it painted vivid pictures in my mind. I found the book to have some endearing characters along with some unexpected humor as well. I liked the fairy godfather a lot. Melanie Fraser added to the book with her distinguishable voices for the various characters and the emotions she put in. This book is definitely a feel good listen by Audrey Harrison. Without giving away spoilers, I loved the ending.
