The Lady's Guide to Tempting a Transylvanian Count : a Gothic Historical Romance

This is a beautiful Gothic love story. Sofia and Constantine strong-willed people who are obviously in love. They face some rather harsh complications, but over the course of their story it becomes undeniable that love can conquer them all. I enjoyed the descriptions of the setting and the characters, the sound effects, and the music. Along with the excellent narration by Gareth J. Davies they helped bring the story to life.
I received the audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily reviewing it.

A Lady’s Guide to Tempting a Transylvania Count is the sixth book in The Lady’s Guide… series, but reads well as a stand alone. Sofia and Constantin were married five years ago, but after one passionate night, he left her. After the death of her father, Sofia desires to belong to a family again, and is determined to make her husband’s family her own, but between a reluctant husband and secrets and deaths, does Sofia have a chance of winning her husband’s heart?

Oh my goodness, I have been loving this series and this was the perfect addition! I loved the dynamic between Sofia and Constantin, I loved their journey to finding love, and I loved all of the mysterious elements, including ones that felt slightly like a vampire existed in the castle! Sofia was so brave, heading into the unknown, trying her best to fight for a future with her husband, and I loved how she faced adversity with her head held high. We didn’t get too much from Constantin’s point of view, but we saw that he was torn between what he wanted and protecting those he loved. I felt like most of his actions backed up what was in his heart, until it came to his wife, who he just wanted to push away, but in his way, that was how he could protect her. Sometimes it was hard to read because there was so much tension and hurt between them, so much longing, too. But I did love their connection, and I think it made the fight to come together that much sweeter. There were some mysteries and secrets and traces of danger that I couldn’t resist and made me not want to put this book down!
