It was a dual narration and I still wish she would have narrated it all by herself she was that good.

I know she has the ability to do The Madness of Ian Mackenzie justice …. if she brings her A game to it.

She took on a little too much of the emotionless Psy personality for the Singh books (although I still enjoy them) and they lack the beautiful vividness she brought to Infamous.

It will be very interesting to see which narrator we get from her with this very popular Historical.

BevQB: “Ashley, Jennifer – The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie Narrated by Angela Dawe”I’ve never listened to Ms. Dawe before, has anyone else? Do you think she’s up for such an amazing, unforgettable story? Can she do justice to such a unique hero? This has the potential to be very bad if she can’t potray Ian just right, and he really would be a difficult character to perform for any narrator. I think I’ll wait for the reviews before trying this one.

BevQB – I feel the same way. Although I’ll listen to it right away and hope Dawe nails Ian’s character, I concur that it will be a difficult task. Crossing my fingers big time on this one.

I have only listened to one book narrated by Angela Dawe. She is probably best known for narrating Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series and books 2-4 of Nora Roberts Bride Quartet.

“Laurens, Stephanie – Mastered by Love Narrated by Steven Crossley”

Well, it’s about time! Geesh, I don’t remember any of her books taking so long to appear on audio.

I listened to the sample. I hadn’t noticed the lisping when listening to the full version, but you are very right! :) Actually, the fast pace fits the characters – at least the ones in the sample – so that didn’t bother me a whole lot. Sorry it didn’t tempt you! If you like really funny romances – as Brenda said, funny, irreverant, campy humor – you would like these books. I have been dying for them on audio since I read them, so for me the audio was an auto buy regardless of the narrator.

But the amount of attention paid to the romance varies greatly. I definitely wouldn’t call them romances.

Listening to the sample now. The text is extremely s-s-s-sibilant and the narrator is lisping and speed reading. I’m not feeling the urge to hit the buy button.

Anyone tried The Immortals series by Jennifer Ashley? I’m going to pick it up in the 3 for 2 sale.

Anne, that’s great news that your agent is working on audio sales. Your backlist is pure gold.

She is great with all the other voices – they fit well with the characters. But this hero is kinda easy going, but she makes him sound mad, rather than just masculine.
