About this listen

First, she loses her honor; then, she loses her heart. Seventeen-year-old heiress Sarah Lennox-Matthews has one goal in mind when she begins a flirtation with dissolute Darcy Ashton, the Earl of Moreland: to annoy his uncle, the handsome and dashing Sir Nicholas Ashton.

The ruse quickly turns sour when Darcy abducts her, intent on securing her considerable fortune. Fearing the ruin of her reputation, Sarah agrees to marry him forthwith. But soon she confronts a greater challenge to her honor than being forced into a loveless marriage. Darcy’s unbearably attractive uncle arrives at Moreland manor. Although matrimony is the least of Nicholas’s concerns, he seems determined to seduce her, putting her honor at stake again...and perhaps even her heart.

On several occasions I was tempted to return this audio, not for the themes or the characters. The Narrator was not engaging and her interpretation was not pleasant.

Enjoyable story

glad this was in the plus catalogue and I didn't spend a credit on it. however it wasn't bad. Nicholas is a pratt and I wouldn't have given him the time of day.
Elizabeth jasicki did a lovely narration job as always 😊

slow to start, predictable but enjoyable

A good clean storyline, but it wasn’t very captivating. I often wanted it to hurry along faster so I could know how it all ended. The narrator had a nice clear voice but I wasn’t a fan of her performance.

There were a good mix of characters none of which were explored to any great depth. I liked Nicholas’s mother the most. She knows not to pluck the crow bald. Classic.

Nothing exciting

A reworking of Georgette Heyer's The Reluctant Widow. Still it was a pleasant enough story though no real surprises!

Pleasant enough
