THE BRAZEN BRIDE

Simon Prebble's extraordinary acting talents; his rich, mesmerizing, British-accented voice; his flawless timing and subtle pacing—all lift this less-than-stellar Regency romantic suspense from marginal to magical. Handsome Logan Monteith, an amnesiac who is on a secret mission, washes up on the beaches of Guernsey. He soon finds himself in the arms of beautiful, brazen Linnet Trevission, a fiery beauty with secrets of her own. This latest installment in the Black Cobra Quartet, while not as engaging a story as the others, is still a most enjoyable listen for Laurens’s fans.
