AN IMPROBABLE PAIRING

Narrator Rosemary Benson delivers a believable performance of a star-crossed romance set in the 1960s. American graduate student Scott meets Countess Desirée during his travels in Europe. While Scott comes from a middle-class Amerian family, Desirée, a divorcée, belongs to high society. Despite their divergent upbringings and seven-year age difference, the two fall in love but must determine if it's strong enough to withstand societal expectations. Benson's elegant yet honest narration adds extravagance and realism to this novel's aristocratic setting. She provides a suitable tone for a lavish romance and will easily transport listeners to a period of European refinement. This audiobook is recommended for those who enjoy a blend of romance and historical fiction. G.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
