About this listen

He was once a legendary highwayman. Now he's a recluse in a ruined French castle, with only a half-wild wolf for a companion. When Lady Leigh Strachan comes looking for a man to aid in her revenge, she's disillusioned to find that the famed Prince of Midnight couldn't help even if he cared to - which he doesn't. S. T. Maitland wants nothing to do with his legend, or with this fierce, beautiful, broken woman... until the old thrill of living on the cutting edge of danger begins to rise in his blood again.

Laura Kinsale personally chose the exceptional talent of Nicholas Boulton to narrate The Prince of Midnight as a fully voiced audiobook, creating a unique work that brings all the life and color of the original to audio.

The most enjoyable was the depth of character of Leigh and S.T. Leigh who is frozen and cruel with grief and S.T. Who struggles daily with dizziness and deafness.

What did you like best about this story?

Laura Kinsale shows how easily people are manipulated and turned from reason to following blindly all in the name of religion.

Have you listened to any of Nicholas Boulton’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have not had the pleasure of listening to him before but loved his voice. Again great characterisation you were never in doubt which character was speaking. Wonderful.

Yes to both!

Any additional comments?

I absolutely loved this story however the heroine was just so difficult to warm to! Now I know she had been through a lot and maybe I just like my heroines to be strong and feminine but Leigh was just so hard to please in my opinion! No matter what ST did she always seemed to be ungrateful and spoiled the story for me! However Great narration and good story. Will give another LK book ago and hope the female H is a bit 'softer'

Ermmmmm heroine was annoying

What made the experience of listening to The Prince of Midnight the most enjoyable?

Without question, the narration skills of Nicholas Boulton.

This is a really great performance and definitely one not to be missed. If you
love historical novels, this is highly recommended for you

What other book might you compare The Prince of Midnight to, and why?

None other comes to mind, simply because books about highwaymen are not usually my cup of tea at all.

What about Nicholas Boulton’s performance did you like?

The tone, the pacing, the delivery, the accent, how he can switch between characters effortlessly, and it is very clear who is speaking.

Please can we have more books performed by Nicholas Boulton?

His narration skills are second to none and he is heads and shoulders above ANY narrator I have heard. If you are in the mood to listen to a well written romantic historical, he's your man.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The scene where the hero, ST is drunk is very funny and extremely well performed; you can't help but be amused by it. The narrator really brings the book and this scene to life. Brilliant!

Any additional comments?

I have three favourite Laura Kinsale books and previously have not had too much interest in reading some of her other books (Uncertain Magic or The Shadow and the Star, for example), purely because they did not appeal to me.

Listening to Nicholas Boulton read this book and the brilliant For My Lady's Heart, changed my mind and it would not be an exaggeration to say he has given me a new appreciation for Laura's books. I now have them all.

I could listen to Nicholas Boulton read the Telephone directory. His voice is like honey - and dead sexy. He is the best audiobook performer EVER. Please, Nicholas, do lots more. I fall just a little in love with every character he reads. Perfect

Wonderful!
