Relaxing Romance
A simple indulgence in beautiful words and beautiful voices, best listened to whilst luxuriating in a scented bath with a good glass of wine.

Absolutely Beautiful
Loved every moment of it! All the beautifully written poems, the calming voice. I hadn't heard many of those poems before and I feel a little refreshed after hearing those. They were spoken beautifully by Richard Armitage and I recommend this audiobook to absolutely everyone.

Very moved
Listening to Richard Armitage narrate these poems really moved me, and it was all the more better when he read my two favourite poems 'I carry your heart' and 'she walks in beauty' I'm really glad I got this now and will listen to it many times again :)

Richard Armitage did such a stellar job with the acting, with the breathlessness and the intense parts.
Really impressed with this as my first Audio book!
