THE EARL TAKES ALL Hellions of Havisham, Book 2

Narrator Helen Lloyd delivers a pleasing performance of a historical romance with some difficult plot elements. The second installment of the Hellions of Havisham series can stand alone, though followers of the series may be more invested in the characters. In this story, the deception of a man posing as his dead twin makes for plenty of tension, and redemption often seems uncertain. Lloyd delivers the right balance of emotion and poshness for these upper-crust characters, though at times it's difficult to discern which lord or lady is speaking. If listeners can suspend disbelief at some of the plot twists and go along for the ride, they'll enjoy Lorraine Heath's latest outing.
