I hope he will still find some spare time for audiobooks... But I fear that being a movie star will complicate his life even more.<br />Thanks for the link!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-26805733718207081752011-08-17T21:22:21.739+02:002011-08-17T21:22:21.739+02:00Looove your review:-)

I really adore Avon and Leonie, but I got to admit: I LOOOOOOVVVVEEE Vidal. Think that Mary is a bit annoying, but I think that´s only my jealousy ;-)<br />I got the unabridged audio narration read by Michael Drew. He really do a fine job, BUT (as JT would put it) I would love to hear Richard reading this:<br /><br /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emXKbhWOZE8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-38282988214557273582011-08-17T14:14:20.633+02:002011-08-17T14:14:20.633+02:00This was a good one!This was a good one!Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-44997743325940121032011-08-17T14:10:23.534+02:002011-08-17T14:10:23.534+02:00@K/V

I wish he could read others! I'd love an audiobook version of These Old Shades read by Richard Armitage!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-3202008645506131832011-08-17T14:00:04.895+02:002011-08-17T14:00:04.895+02:00I absolutely loved Devil's Cub, Maria.

I think that an incurably romantic teenager can easily fall in love with a reckless spoiled young boy like Vidal, whereas a "slightly more sophysticated" woman can't but appreciate his father's many virtues :)<br />K/VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-36909779280347055182011-08-17T12:14:31.237+02:002011-08-17T12:14:31.237+02:00@K/V

The final scene at the Inn is so amusing and Avon so cunning and brilliant! <br />But, just make it clear and be honest: do you mean I couldn't appreciate Vidal because I am too old? :OMaria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-55190817426061253962011-08-17T11:33:43.803+02:002011-08-17T11:33:43.803+02:00SO you can see why, as a 13yo reading - devouring ...SO you can see why, as a 13yo reading - devouring - her first Heyer, I was in love with Vidal ... until I had the chance to meet His Grace. Since then, I shamelessly switched my affections from son to father ;-), and fully appreciated DC's last scene at the Inn: as usual, Avon is absolutely fabulous with his coup-de-théatre!<br />xx K/VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
