A review by jennereads
The Deception of the Emerald Ring by Lauren Willig
4.0
You know a book is a good one if you are finding excuses to go for a drive so that you can listen to the audio version. I promised to take a break from this series after the last one but I couldn't help myself. (I won't even try to promise it this time--I am downloading the 4th from audible.com as I write this review.)
As I began the 2nd and then this one in the series, I dreaded the loss of the central characters and the introduction of new ones. But each time I have been pleasantly surprised. Again, there are similarities to the previous books, but they are forgivable because these books are so deliciously fun. I am not, generally, a romance reader. But I think I have figured out that if you combine it with historical fiction and add some mystery and suspense, it is right up my alley. I don't pretend that they are groundbreaking or will change your world view, but they are fun to read.
**Audio Version: Again, Kate Reading does a great job. She is part of the reason I am continuing with the audio versions as I progress through this series. I would probably hear her voice in my head if I read it myself.
