About this listen

Major Calborne Rutherford returns to England on the trail of an assassin, only to find he's become Lord Ashendon, with the responsibility for vast estates and dependent relatives. Cal can command the toughest of men, but his wild half-sisters are quite another matter. They might just be his undoing.

When he discovers that Miss Emmaline Westwood, the girls' former teacher, guides them with ease, Cal offers her a marriage of convenience. But strong-minded and independent Emm is neither as compliant nor as proper as he expected, and Cal finds himself most inconveniently seduced by his convenient wife.

Emm knows they didn't marry for love, yet beneath her husband's austere facade, she catches glimpses of a man who takes her breath away. As pride, duty, and passion clash, will these two stubborn hearts find more than they ever dreamed of?

Struggled with the narrator. Very clipped, did not sound engaged with the story or characters. Some of the emphasis was really out of context.

delightful narration. I love the voices they were all pleasant and gave you the elegant regency era feeling with the accents. it's enjoyable to listen when the narration is so clear and calm to the ear. bought 2 more audio books in this series.

...and the hero wasn't a bad egg either! This was a charming start to the series. I loved the narrator's telling of the story. She has a lovely reading style and delivers her female characters perfectly. That said, I was surprised by her interpretation / rendition of Cal which I found to be rather wooden most of the time. This didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. Shame she isn't reading the rest of the series...I would've like to hear how she'd perform the other male leads. I do recommend this series.

Classy heroine and lovely loyal hoydens

Good storyline

The rigid sound the narrator uses for Cal is quite a put off. The story is what kept me listening.

I enjoy Anne Gracie’s books but the narration was really awful. It was almost robotic in style because the narrator stopped after almost every word so it didn’t flow at all. It was most peculiar and so irritating I almost didn’t finish the book.

Narration!

Like all Ann Gracie books the story was good and engaging but, this had to be one of the worst narrators ever. Almost ruined the experience and I have no idea how she even gets work doing this. Just awful!!

Really terrible narrator

What a shame! Anne Gracies stories are always so enjoyable but
I could only endure this narrator at 1:2 speed, as she was so stilted in narrarion of exposition. The dialogue was okay.

Story great, narrator terrible
