Reviews - wanted a gentleman
"A ridiculously good audio book"
What made the experience of listening to Wanted, a Gentleman the most enjoyable? The voice acting in this was so above par and complimented the great storytelling perfectly. This is the first audio book of his [Greg Patmore] that I've read. It was phenomenal, though.
While I have to say that I loved the ebook version of this story, it has got nothing on the audio book. If you combine the great writing style of K.J. Charles and the highly enjoyable voice narration of Greg Patmore, you were bound to have a hit. But I never expected just how well they would compliment each other and take this story past what individually they could have been.
I was already a hug fan of this story when I got my hands on this audio book. But there was just something about this audio version that really turned it up a notch.
Most of that rest in the hands of the narrator, Greg Patmore. Man, what a voice. Not only is it incredibly easy to listen to, but just the way he used it to bring out the very best in these characters. When Martin spoke, I could easily see and feel his stiff baring and rigid control. With Theo there was a bit more slipperiness to it, something a bit smooth, like this was a man who knew how to bend around rules to get what he wanted. It never went too overboard, though, and there was always something inherently likable about him. Chris

Audiofile magazine: Theodore Swann, editor of London's MATRIMONIAL ADVISER, is hired by Mr. Martin St. Vincent to accompany him to Gretna Green in search of a runaway heiress. Narrator Greg Patmore skillfully evokes the theme that opposites attract with his voices for Theo and Martin. Theo's nasal voice conjures up a slightly built intellectual with a satirical outlook on life. Patmore makes Theo likable by voicing his honest assessment of his own questionable morality. Martin, a freed slave from the Caribbean, is the perfect vocal foil to Theo. His deep, solemn tones and measured dialogue capture Theo's interest from the first. The long carriage ride to Gretna allows their intimate relationship to develop, which Patmore delivers with intensity and humor. Enjoy this clever historical with excellent narration.
