"<a href="http://laughinglistener.com/"><br/>The Laughing Listener</a><br/><b>July 2018</b><br/><b>Format:</b> Audiobook<br/><b>Narrator:</b> Marian Hussey<br/><b>Length:</b> 10 hours & 42 minutes<br/><br/><b>Story Rating:</b> 2 Stars<br/><b>Performance Rating:</b> 5 Stars<br/><b>Overall Rating:</b> 3 Stars<br/><br/>Oh my god, this book is HILARIOUS and I don’t completely mean that as a compliment. Anyone who goes into this comparing it to <i>[b:Outlander|10964|Outlander (Outlander, #1)|Diana Gabaldon|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1529065012s/10964.jpg|2489796]</i> will be grossly and hilariously disappointed. Like seriously guys, they’re not even in the same galaxy as one another. I was stumbling around Audible’s romance package one day when I saw this and was intrigued enough to give a go. Instead of trying to find the right words to describe it, I’ll let the story speak for itself. Within the first half hour ALONE here’s what happens:<br/><br/>~ Heroine Melanie finds a magic wooden box<br/>~ Gets hurtled through time.<br/>~ Lands in the middle of a crazy battle<br/>~ Almost gets raped<br/>~ Stabs a guy<br/>~ Saved by a Highlander who’s conveniently attractive, gallant, and available<br/>~ Accused of being an English spy<br/>~ Somehow no one cares about her southern accent, the fact she’s wearing a mini skirt, or that she’s pregnant out of wedlock<br/>~ Becomes betrothed<br/><br/><img src="https://media1.tenor.com/images/8d6fcf01abf0246f6e49957b5bdd318b/tenor.gif?itemid=4793800" width="" height="" alt="Say what?"><br/><br/>I’m not even kidding. Sometimes it was just too much and I couldn’t stop laughing. Some other stuff that happens in the book worth mentioning?<br/><br/>~ Everyone constantly screaming over a cursed magic box. <br/>~ An albino with magic blood<br/>~ Poisonous snake bites<br/>~ Cars falling from the sky<br/>~ The male love interest being named “Big Darcy” (Jane Austen is TOTALLY offended)<br/>~ Darcy talking about how he’s “too big to bed a woman.” *Dies of laughter*<br/>~ The Snow White witch randomly making an appearance<br/><br/><b>FINAL WORD</b><br/><br/>It was so hard to figure out what to rate this because it was terrible, but I was also completely entertained??? If anything, it was a great way to pass the time and the narrator was excellent.<br/>"

"It was a gripping time travel romance "
