About this listen

London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon, is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon's upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other than Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules. Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable - his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage - or it might cause an explosion.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoy this book, especially the story done. The narration was fairly poor. It could’ve been done better, but I put speed up a bit faster, that seem to help. Otherwise A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon I fully recommend.

Great

I enjoyed the story very much as it gave a realistic depiction of accepted 'good ton' of the time with its norms and expectations of duty and knowing a person's place. I did listen to this ar x1.1 speed and liked The narrator's reading in general, but I did find some of the dialogue exchanges between Devon and Eugenia rather robotic or lacking in passion. I supposed a proper ton wife and proper ton husband could've spoken with each other so as to convey 'proper' respect of each others' sensibilities!

Cute story - robotic characterisation of MCs at times

The story was mostly about what was expected of a ton marriage in that time. So the story line was a bit different, but good. Except one part, where I had a tear or two, it was an easy listening.

Other reviewers seemed to have a problem with the narrator, but I didn't. I actually think her voice is perfect for Historical Regency Romance. But you can always listen to a fragment, before you decide.

Different, but good 👍

the storyline is good, but I couldn't get through by listening to it. The narration is awful.

Throughly enjoyed the humour, describing the lifestyle, the stiffness of the era. Love the craziness of the characters

Great read

Great if you just want background noise. Honestly I don't know why I gave this author a second go. the story is very very slow, the writing style is tedious, the characters annoyingly self absorbed. I found it difficult to keep focus.

very slow

Kinda stilted narrator with pretty awful male voices. Stories alright I guess, just hard to listen to.

Okay, bad narration

Terrible narration. Couldn't finish. Kind of childish storyline but could be just the horrific narration.

Dreadful
