Publisher's Summary

Shunned by a society that puts attractiveness above all else, Lady Eliza Darby’s wallflower status keeps her from getting the one thing she wants most, namely, to be a mother.

But, the jilted duke will soon discover looks have nothing to do with love.

Slow and boring unfortunately

I don’t like weak heroes and the whole story line was based on a simple problem that a short conversation could have solved at the start. Very disappointing.

The inability of American authors to write well about English history.

I liked the relationship between the main character and her dog. In general the people are decidedly stupid and irritating. I will try my best to finish listening. I do not recommend this book and will not buy another by this author.

Light entertainment

No surprises, nicely written and read. I enjoyed listening. Mildly amusing, going to read the next one too
