À propos de cet audio

Toby never meant to be a highway robber, but needs must. He didn’t plan to impersonate a top London valet either, but when the chance comes to present himself as the earl of Arvon’s new gentleman's gentleman, he grabs it. Unfortunately, the earl is the man he seduced and robbed on the road to get here. Oops.

Miles, Lord Arvon, is not impressed. But he’s faced with a tumbledown home and lost family fortune, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Toby—shameless, practical, and definitely desperate—may be just the man he needs.

To steal back a priceless bracelet, that is. What else were you thinking?

I’ve heard of KJ Charles’ writing, but haven’t had the chance to dive in yet. Seeing this Audible Original seemed like the perfect chance to start.

I had so much fun with this story. Narrators James Joseph and Ryan Laughton inject warmth, humour and strength to Toby and Miles, making them come alive. Lately, I’ve been listening to full production audiobooks with sound effects, but this more traditional reading of a story still kept me engaged, partly due to the great voice work. Sometimes novellas don’t leave enough room for a romance to develop believably, but that was not the case here. Charles focuses on the heart of what matters: Miles and Toby’s relationship. Both men are lost and wandering in life, a bit damaged in their relationships with their families, and need each other to repair the pieces. The development of their slightly enemy-to-lovers relationship felt realistic. It is definitely an open-door romance; I enjoyed the spicy scenes that added to the feeling of intimacy (even the opening scene of them hooking up in the back alley way served to show their instant attraction). I loved that the story also had a little adventure and mystery too, with a missing necklace, a crumbling manor, and a stolen bracelet (and the lengths Miles and Toby went to get it back!)

A Thief In The Night is a story of desperation, choices, stability, fathers, and trust. This novella served as a wonderful introduction to the world that Charles has created in her Gentlemen of Unfortunate Fortune series, and made me want to spend more time with her writing (especially since realizing she is the author of both the Doomsday romance and Will Darling Adventure books that I have eyed before!).

A wonderful novella

This was a good light listen as I'm occupied with other tasks. It was a cute but not overly flowery story. Appreciated the different voices for the narration. Definitely will look into other works by this author.

Easy entertaining listen.

The story was really light and because of it's shortness, the characters development was kind of funny and unrealistic. The story was also incredibly cheesy, but if that's what you're looking for then it's the perfect book. Because of the double narrators with different voices for the same characters, it was difficult to follow who was talking or thinking at times. In general, it was a good, light read.

Perfect if you need a light read

Nice novella, a story line that had one titled person who was convincingly prepared (and had a sound reason) to be prepared to walk away from that for his own HEA.

I do feel that this was let down by the narration and the beyond irritating YA type cover.

Ignore the Cover, this is NOT YA

The voice acting felt like the book was of an academic nature, rather than a romance. Every now and then it would be okay, but I had to stop before I could reach the end of chapter 5.

Sterile voice acting

This little novelette is a reasonable introduction to K J Charles’ style, I encourage those of you who wanted more depth/angst to check out her longer novels, which are lovely. This book has dual narration alternating by chapter, which seemed prett my unnecessary. We ended up getting two different male voices for each character. I tend to prefer a single narrator who has come up with a character concept which is consistent throughout.

Short and fun

I loved it! I got confused about who was doing what sometimes, but I loved the voices he used for the characters, and it’s a nice short story.

I did think it was more of a teens book but then in the first chapter got an earful of smut so enjoy but be warned :D

Great - explicit

This shirt story is fun, cute, and light for the heart.

The connection to another novella by the author also increases the enjoyment (once you clue into who one of the characters is the story feels so much broader).

overall this is a great listen. The use of two narrators was a little off-putting for me at first, but both do a great job of narrating in their own way.

great shott stort

I'm not a big fan of regency m/m but I gave this one a try since it was short and the author's name was familiar. I really liked it!! a fun romp that had me hooked.

some really great perspective on what we now call hoarding in Regency era.

will definitely read more by this author

fabulous!
