Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jess Heileman narrates her own work with a nuanced touch that breathes life into each character's nuances. As Laura, her performance is understated but profoundly moving, capturing the governess's quiet strength and growing self-awareness. The chemistry between Laura and her charge is palpable, especially when Janna Fox takes over as her lady’s companion. Their voices blend seamlessly, creating a cohesive yet dynamic auditory experience. However, the pacing can feel somewhat slow at times, particularly in lengthy descriptive passages. Despite this, 'Somewhat of a Ruse' remains a compelling listen, offering listeners a rich tapestry of historical romance and character development.
