I was pleased you “understood” our intent of staying true to Austen’s characterizations while showing a story from their point of view. <br />I loved our British voice actor André Refig’s performance. I think he successfully brought honesty to each Rake and Gentleman Rogue plus all the other characters involved without falling into the burlesque or ridiculous. When he smiles, I feel like I can actually hear it. And as he has lived part of his life in France, his French accent for several French characters was beautiful. He was such a pro to work with. I hope anyone in the UK goes out to see him this summer in the play, Oberron’s Cure. http://www.andrerefig.com/upcoming/2018/6/2/oberons-cureChristina Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980897213059472495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-65040108691486256612018-05-15T18:08:22.200+03:002018-05-15T18:08:22.200+03:00We think there is romance in the stories and some ...We think there is romance in the stories and some do find their happily ever after, some are just as we always knew they were, some were redeemed and given a chance to grow, and some well...a leopard doesn’t change his spots. All in all, I think the authors did a great remarkabke being true to canon while giving us a glimpse through the #RakesAndGentlemenRogues’ eyes.

And each story here is about a 45 minute to 1 1/4 hour listen so I find anthologies perfect when doing tedious tasks like folding a mountain of laundry or commuting or errands. And I have found them excellent vehicles to discover Authors I might never have found. Thanks for giving this a try.

We wanted the Rakes to be seen through their own eyes, whether they found their happily ever after or just as they ever were ... I think the Authors were authentic. And clever with how they made it so.

If you are familiar with canon, it surely enhances the listening or reading experience but not at all necessary. Or at least that was our intent.
