About this listen

Lady Linnet Cadwallader has been raised a helpless invalid in her own castle. Brought up to believe she will "never make old bones" she lives a quiet and lonely existence, hiding away her excessive freckles and red hair from a world that believes her to be hideously misshapen and ugly.

Until one day her uncle arranges a marriage of convenience for her, a marriage in name only with a young puppet groom...but Sir Roland does not show up. In his place turns up his base-born brother Mason Vawdrey. And dark, forceful Mason is no one's puppet.

Things are about to get interesting at Cadwallader Castle. And Linnet is about to discover that maybe a golden leopardess does not need to change her glorious spots.

Contains mature themes.

I have the book and loved it, I got the audiobook because I wanted to just listen to the story and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It was very enjoyable

Well read

I generally enjoy this authors writing style evwn though sometimes it feels a bit formulaic. This was not the best of the few i have read so far. Linnets description did not do it for me unfortunately. She seemed a bit too much like a child which i found offputting. made worse by the narrator. Linnet sounded 12!

Childlike

I'm not sure if it's because I'm not usually used to reading books from this era medieval? I found H quite confronting and awful, which I believe is what we're supposed to think, but he was a bit too demanding and overbearing for my likeing. The epilogue was strange, it wasn't really an epilogue, more a last chapter which didn't actually give any kind of glimpse into the future. I did however, push through until the end, which I'm very proud of haha, it was a struggle. I won't be reading the next two. Thankfully this one was free from the plus library.

I didn't love it

“You belong to me
“As your husband you will obey me
“I forbid you to (insert many basic freedoms)

Very weird “women are property” story

Good bedroom scenes, but otherwise a disturbing portrait of controlling behaviour and emotional abuse. I'd enjoyed Love Potion for the Alpha and kept waiting for the heroine to show her colours. Disappointing - not my cup of tea.

Disturbing rather than romantic
