Rosalyn Landor – she remains a work in progress for me. I have to agree with Melinda most of the time but I’m still trying. However, I thought she was perfect for Balogh’s More Than a Mistress (sorry Karen!) because I thought the hero a rather harsh creature to begin with. Plus I was comparing Landor’s narration to the original audio narration by Jenny Sterlin. Landor was a dream by comparison. I loved More Than a Mistress in print many years ago and after hearing the Sterlin audio version at a later date with her interpretation of a Duke who found it necessary to shout all the time, I found myself wondering what I had found to love. Landor reminded me of why I enjoyed the book in print – no overly angry hateful duke. She performed all the characters as written.

(better late than never I guess…. *slinking away now*…)

And another shout-out for Barbara Rosenblat as a wonderful narrator – the Amelia Peabody series, Judith Ivory’s The Indiscretion, all excellent. Terrific hero voices.

I agree that Rosalyn Landor is a great narrator – she’s professional, her voice is wonderful, she differentiates characters. But she sometimes makes the hero sound very unhero-esque, and that is a deal-breaker for me. As a romance audio listener, I need the fantasy that the hero’s voice is deep, smooth, debonair, swoon-worthy!

Happy Third Anniversary to SOA and Lea!

As for Butterfly Swords – I’d be interested in listening – I haven’t read the book have have heard good things (*hint Lea hint*)

I follow her reviews on goodreads.

farmwifetwo: Congrats on the review.I don’t usually post on this thread. Audiobooks and I just aren’t compatible. Unless I’m plugged in with a set of headphones, I tune them out.
