About this listen

A brave young gentlewoman dares to defy an infuriatingly arrogant earl. Brave and beautiful Miss Emily Wingrave knows that it will not be easy to help her older widowed sister deal with the trustee of her late husband’s estate.

The trustee is none other than the willful, arrogant Earl of Meriden, and she is determined to stop him from meddling with her sister’s struggling family. But as Emily engages the provocative Earl in a battle of wits and wills, she learns just how well armed he is: His surprising charm and seductive techniques will make her worry that she might very well be the one who surrenders.

Enjoyable

At the beginning of this story the hero and heroine indulge in a shouting match at the dinner table which culminates in him seizing her and throwing her into the lake. Naturally we assume that the romance between them will flower. I found that a number of aspects of the tale strained credulity and almost stopped listening however the lively reading from Mary Jane Wells helped me to persevere. The writing lacks sophistication and the characters are overdrawn.

Lively but improbable tale

An engaging storyline, interesting mix of characters and excellent narration made for an enjoyable listening experience.

Emily was intelligent but at times stubborn and annoying. I really liked Jack and felt he managed his role as guardian/estate trustee of this oddball family remarkably well. The two suited each other to a ‘T’ .

Though this story was entertaining, sometimes I wished there was more development between the hero and heroine. Jack (hero) had lots of patience with Emily. She drove me crazy with all the scraps and interferences she put herself into. So it was a bit sad that their relationship was given over to Emily’s escapades. Overall great performance.

good romance but not one of my favourites - written only as one point of view- where i like from both the lady and gentleman
narration was excellent

good romance but not one of my favourites

All the MC does is bicker, shout at each other. Other characters are maddening. If not lacking a brain, they’re selfish and self-centred. This story is not for me sorry, so I can’t recommend.

Unsure about this one
