And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss - to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston....

Good story, but the sex scenes…
I appreciated the story and was entertained, but I often had to fast forward through the sex scenes. I don’t know if it was because they were too long and drawn out with overused descriptors that made my eyes roll involuntarily, or if it was because the narrator made it sound like my grandfather was reading a porn bedtime story to me. Either way, I found it cringe worthy. Too bad because the story was otherwise good and the narrator is talented and has a great voice…just not great for a female lead romance, in my opinion.

A Promising Start to the Cynster Family
What made the experience of listening to The Promise in a Kiss the most enjoyable?
By all means, Simon Prebble! As with all of his stories, he is animated, passionate, and provides enough diversity in his voices, that you almost think there are multiple narrators. I get LOST in Simon's readings.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really enjoyed Helena. She is a strong woman and you get a better understanding of why she made the best choice for The Duchess of St. Ives.
What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?
He is always so animated and passionate. He's really one of the best I have had the priviledge of listening to!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
It all started with a promise...in a kiss!
Any additional comments?
SPOILERS: I liked learning more of the background to Sebastian. We don't hear much of him in the first of the Cynster novels. We only hear of the "scandal" and it might bear a bitter taste to most who didn't listen to this story. Not that his actions are approved by me! I just now get a better feeling as to why he was lead down that path. Of course, without that leading, we would have never had Richard and the scandal that almost wasn't! The book also gives brief introductions to the other Cynsters like Almira (Charles' mother) and Sebastians brothers, as well as Lady Osbortsten, who is prominant in most of the Cynster novels that take place in London!

OMG! They're at it again!
Fun revisiting this vintage story. I liked this series when I first came across it in the used book store wo was happy to find it in audiobook.
The narrator was a definite downer -- "peridot" is pronounced pair - ih - doe, not "dot." It's French! And pronouncing "shone" as "shawn"...seriously??? Was there no director, editor etc. to listen to to how this guy was murdering the language. There seems to be a propensity for hiring English actors as narrators for these things. I'm not sure what guidance the narrators are given, but having worked as a "talking head" for television news and documentaries, I know that we were directed to use standard news reader accent without local accent or expressions. Obviously, in novel narration, it's necessary to give characters their unique speech patterns when appropriate, but the rest of the time couldn't they get of the theatre speech horse or whatever he's using? Sorry, Simon, for singling you out. You are not the only narrator who does this, not even in the minority, and as I remarked earlier, you should have been given guidance at the beginning and notes as production began. Just hell.
There is a fair amount of fairly explicit sex in this book, tastefully done of course, in the book. But it's different listening to something when you can flip ahead a few pages to get the the exact end of the scene and continue wtth the story. Not anything that would cause me to recommend against the book/story, though. But that narrator.

Loved, loved, loved it!
This is my first audible book by this narrator, he is amazing. I thought I wouldn't like it being narrated by a man, but he does a great job with all the voices. Very interesting story. I had not read any of the other novels in this series, now I suppose I'll have to listen to all of them! I have read other books by this author. This one is a favorite now. Might have to buy the hard copy just to have it on hand. Highly recommend this one!

A Perfect Prequel
This is the love story of Helena and Sebastian, Devil Cynster’s parents. It’s full of all the good stuff... stolen kisses in a French convent, an evil guardian, a Duke as a hero, a strong ( but naive ) heroine, and rescues of damsels in distress. It’s a great story of two very strong people and how they come together in the cultural context of 1784 England.
If you love the Cynster’s, this is a must read. If you haven’t started the series yet... Start here! And the narration is perfection!
