About this listen

The spinster: As a maiden aunt, Gillian Redfern lives as an unpaid servant to her demanding family. Little wonder she finds the attentions of a rake distracting, and even less wonder that her usual good sense begins to unravel when Lord Marlow takes her in his arms.

The rake: Ronan Patrick Blakely, Lord Marlow, is a man of great charm and little moral character, a gambler, a womanizer, and handsome as sin to boot. He has no qualms about placing a wager on the virtue of one small, shy spinster.

But Lord Marlow is about to discover that Miss Redfern is more siren than spinster. She amuses him, arouses him, and, much to his dismay, makes him a better man. Gillian will discover, in turn, that Lord Marlow possesses the power to turn her into a very wicked woman. The rake and the spinster are poised to find a love that neither could have imagined.

If only someone weren't out to destroy them both....

Up to Chapter 10. Can’t make up my mind if an AI/computer was used the read this or if the performance was just bad. It just doesn’t seem like a human is performing this. Little color and intonation and the rhythm is off. The overly nasal accents are irritating throughout. After chapter 9 it seems to get better. The interesting plot is the only thing that kept me going.

Irritant but interesting
