Reviews
Lucinda Brant's sweeping family sagas are a perfect reminder of why I fell in love with historical romance -Cheryl Bolen, New York Times bestselling author
You will once again be reminded why Lucinda Brant's books are such a treasure. -SWurman, Night Owl Reviews 5 STAR TOP PICK
The energy starts on page one and never lets up. Twists and turns, dramatic revelations, and some enjoyable chaos make this a book that keeps the reader turning pages. Highly recommended! -Fiona Ingram, Readers' Favorite 5 STAR MEDAL WINNER
Lucinda Brant fully immerses the reader in the world of Georgian England, keeping you turning pages, or listening late into the night as the case may be. For those historical romance fans who have been gobsmacked by Nicholas Boulton (as a narrator), I am thrilled to report that Alex Wyndham is every bit as good. His narrative voice is deep and lovely. I unreservedly recommend that you listen to Midnight Marriage. -Lady Wesley, Romantic Historical Reviews audiobook review
