About this listen

Magnetic and educated, Marianne Simpson has the manner of a lady and the looks of a lover, not a fighter. Neither of which explains her occupation as a boxer in her uncle's circus, Farnham's Fantastical Female Fayre. Nonetheless, when St. John Powell, the exquisitely handsome Duke of Staunton, begins turning up at her shows, she finds herself dangerously distracted by the powerful peer's mysterious presence. With her safety at stake, Marianne's days in the ring are numbered. But how long can she fight her attraction to the man the ton calls Lord Flawless?

St. John Powell doesn't just want Marianne Simpson, he needs her . . . to rescue his brother, who is being held for ransom by a treasonous English baron—the man all of Britain knows as the Rake of Rakes. No matter how little Marianne wants to see her duplicitous ex-lover, the man responsible for the humiliating nickname the Boxing Baroness, St. John must convince her. Even if it means climbing into the ring with the beautiful boxer and taking everything she's got . . .

Contains mature themes.

This was quite a good story. Unfortunately, the narrator pronounced a number of words incorrectly. Also, because of the different characters and the French accents it really needed a Justine Eyre, Roslyn Landor, Simon Prebble or any other narrator of their ilk.Can’t say I will listen to the next one if it has the same narrator.

Good story but needed different narrator

Interesting story, some of the scenarios are a tad far fetched even for a regency novel, but not a bad fairytale.
Clare Stanford is an okay narrator, she does struggle sometimes with the different characters voices and her French is atrocious lol her French accent is a confused French Dutch fusion..and she mispronounced an odd assortment of words..

Some of her mispronounced words
Reconcile
Translucent
Aristocracy
Marauded (?) she said mooraded
Byzantine

Interesting
