About this listen

Lily Bachman has the largest dowry the haut ton has seen in years. Her fortune is meant to secure her marriage to a titled gentleman, but instead it has sent every fortune hunter in London into a frenzy. Despite her father's insistence that she choose a husband, Lily swears she won't marry any of these "leeches". Instead, she focuses on her dreams of opening a charity school. She has everything well in hand - until a devilishly handsome rake sweeps her into a scandalous waltz.

Ethan Helling, Viscount Thorburn, never claimed to be a good man. A well-known rogue, he's over his ears in gaming debts and is tempted by a friend's demanding mistress. To continue indulging his appetites, he needs to marry a fortune. The lovely Miss Bachman just so happens to have one, and Ethan vows to win her dowry for himself.

When the seducer becomes the seduced, Lily and Ethan are forced into a hasty marriage. Now, to gain her fortune, Ethan must find a way to make his unwilling bride happy. As he fights to win her affection, Ethan finds himself falling in love with his spirited wife - despite her determination to keep her money, and her heart, out of his hands. With her dreams in ruins and her illusions shattered, can Lily afford to gamble on love?

Contains mature themes.

Predictable, Hated the FMC

I did not like this book at all. It was terribly predictable & with an awful FMC. Although, I loved book 1. I loved the character Isabelle, the FMC from book 1. I also liked current this character, Lily, in book 1, but she has a completely different peevish personality in book 2. She is cruel, mean-spirited, and so self-centered she has no care for anyone else I
least of all her husband. The nails on chalk board voice the narrator used only amped up the disdain.
What I hate more are these unsurprising "obstacles" the author drags out to make filler. In any real situation the persons would reveal truth to resoved the conflict, but in these ridiculous force conflict stories the ineptitude of the characters lead the couple to treat each other disrespectful in order to harden their heart. That doesn't ring true when 2 people are as desperate for each other as these two are. Instead you would say anything to explain the situation not stay mute and just try to kiss it all better. So dumb! This one, book 2, is a big no from me

Couldn't get past the sample

Narrator sounds like a little girl reading a fairy tale and the story isn't good enough to stand on its own.
