About this listen

Miss Wilhelmina "Mina" Crawford is desperate. Having been ruined in the eyes of society years ago for one foolish, starry-eyed mistake, she spends her days secreted away at her family's crumbling estate, helping her brother manage the land but not able to truly live life the way she's always dreamed. When her brother admits to just how dire their finances have gotten, she takes it upon herself to procure employment . . . but the only one who will even consider the scandalous idea of a female secretary is the brilliant, ruthless, and infuriating Earl of Creswick.

Simon Loughton, the Earl of Creswick, needs help if he wants to finally pass the reform bill he's been championing for years and secure the vote for England's most vulnerable constituents. Too bad help comes in the form of a woman with breathtaking nerve, fiery red hair, and a sense of humor to match.

Now temptation—disguised as a lovely, clever-mouthed devil—lives and works under Simon's very roof. And Mina finally feels as though she's truly living life to her wildest dreams. But even the most incendiary of kisses can't incinerate Mina's past . . . or the shocking secret that could ruin them both.

Contains mature themes.

The novel is nice. Hero and heroine are straightforward and vocal. They have great communication as partners. The narration sounded better than the other novel. Overall it was a good listen!

Lovely tale and I enjoyed it . however the narration was mechanical and totally off putting. it's taken me several attempts at different times to get through the novel unfortunately.

Sweet story

This was the most enchanting book I have had the pleasure of listening to for a while. It's funny how a storyline so simple can captivate your attention to the point that you cannot put it down. Strong characters that you felt like you knew completely. Compelling writing, and storyline.

So believable

I enjoyed the story line but would’ve enjoyed it a lot more had the reader counted to two between the sentences. It was as if she had a lot to say within a time limit and as a listener it was hard to absorb what was happening at times. For that reason I didn’t get as deeply inside the heroine’s mind as I normally would. Still, I enjoyed it and that won’t stop me from listening to another tale from this author.

I should’ve listened to the preview.

I enjoy the tone and expression of this narrator's voice. The one thing that bothered me was the loud intake of breath each sentence.

Liable narrator.
