Publisher's Summary

Lady Marian Lawrence is in London to snare a rich husband to save her family from ruin - a difficult task given her biting wit and lack of beauty. Hiding her true self, Marian is about to win the wealthy and amiable Lord Darley - until the detestable Reginald Montague blocks their path to the altar.

Reginald Montague has vowed to never marry and is determined to keep his bestfriend Darley from being snared by a fortune hunter.

A master of subtle stratagem, Reginald sets out to transform Marian's dislike for him into desire and is caught in his own trap even as Marian struggles to keep her true self a secret and her heart her own.

Enjoyable & Easy listening

There weren't many reviews on this one so I thought I'd give it a chance despite the harsh criticism of the narrator.

To my delight I found the narrator pleasant and easy to listen to. I liked the author's writing style and found it less verbose, repetitious or mushy compared to other books of its genre - which was another huge plus.

It was an interesting enough story to keep me engaged and enjoy.

If you like period story without explicit descriptions then you'll appreciate this one too.

3 minutes of narration, I've had enough!

The narrator's fluctuating accents are doing my head in. Flopping between English, east-coast American, southern, pacific-western... in 3 minutes and within single sentences, by same characters.
Don't know anything of the story. Have to stop now!
