Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Heather Wilds’ narration is nothing short of captivating. Her portrayal of Lady Daphne Davenport conveys both the lady’s refined dignity and her growing passion in a way that’s deeply engaging. Hugh Redvers, on the other hand, is portrayed with an almost tangible menace and allure. The pacing of the audiobook is brisk; it never lets up even during quieter moments, ensuring listeners remain thoroughly invested. However, at times, the narrative can feel overly dependent on exposition to set up their complex relationship, which might slow down the storytelling. Still, Barbarous remains a compelling and thrilling listen for fans of romantic sea adventures.
