About this listen

Lord Hampton cursed his luck. Six dukes were in league together to force their sons to marry, and one of them was his own father. The old men had drawn up a formal pact, with severe consequences to their heirs included. Edwin is determined to devise a way out of it, he has no intention of marrying any time soon. He's also desperate to get his name off the ton's lips. Mamas are circling like hunters round a wounded stag and every pert little miss is fanning herself.

Cassandra Knightsbridge, only daughter of Viscount Trebly, has not had a very usual upbringing. She rides like the devil, leaving her groom far behind...if she bothered to take a groom at all. More alarming, there would be few gentlemen who could best her with a fowling piece. She knows those particular habits will not find approval in a London drawing room and ought not be mentioned. That is, until a condescending lord provokes her.

Might not a tale of a girl who shoots turn society's attention away from the dukes' pact? The whispers wind their way through drawing rooms and the talk about Miss Knightsbridge blooms.

Edwin's love for the lady blooms too, but now he's made it impossible to win her.

Contains mature themes.

A good clean story with a mix of characters excellently portrayed by the narrator. I loved the premise of this book and the series - 6 marriage minded-dukes (!!) forcing the hand of their respective heirs to find wives, and the young lords' activities to thwart or delay the process. Excellent! The story unfolded at a steady pace but (perhaps because i was distracted) i found it dragged a tad towards the end. Nonetheless, i thought it a great start to the series. I'm hooked and eager to see what's in stall for the rest of them!

Enjoyable

Havoc and Mastiff are the names of the 2 mastiff dogs in the story as well as a good description of the antics. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am going straight to the next installment. I hope it has as much fun and humourous characters as this one did.

Havoc and Mayhem! 😜

A bit like a schoolgirls story.
It could have been improved. Not a great romance story.

Unrealistic
