About this listen

At the advanced age of 26, the independent, wealthy and imminently practical Isabella Latham has no expectation of marriage. But, good-hearted and dutiful, Isabella accompanies her two young country cousins to oversee their London debut...only to find that it's she who is attracting suitors...all of whom do seem to have quite an excess of creditors!

There's the sinfully sexy Basil Trevelyan, a rake through and through, but so charming that even sensible Isabella is almost tempted. But then there's his maddeningly handsome - and maddeningly arrogant! - cousin, Edward Trevelyan, seventh Earl of Hartleigh, who has no need of Isabella's dowry; but whose adorable orphaned ward needs a mama. Could he love Isabella for herself? Isabella is too busy trying to decide whether to kiss him - or kill him!

Poor, poor Isabella. What's a girl to do? But more importantly...who's a girl to choose?

Quiet story without much passion or zest between any of the characters. I would not listen to this book again.

OK not great...

Probably ought to rerecord this then it will be a good read. Worth a try

Production value very poor story very good

Thoroughly enjoyable for its delightfully witty dialogue, it's sensitively drawn, complex characters, it's suspenseful, entertaining story and its ability to allow the reader to truly exist, if only for a few hours, in the century it inhabits. An accomplished and deft literary hand at work here.

Near perfection!

The story spent a disproportionate amount of time on the conniving Basil and far too little time creating a compelling connection between the H/h. We know well why we dislike Basil but why H/h fall deeply in love is not shown very clearly, it's almost a fast forward skipping all the good parts.

early effort, falls short

It was funny. I had to speed up the narration. Basil was humourous and bad.

I could share this with my Granddaughter

The story was quite fine. Toward the end I'm not sure why but I got a bit confused. Things went very quickly but they also seemed a bit disjointed. However, I enjoyed the story.

I liked the narrator, too, but the audio production was abysmal. It sounded like it was recorded in the bottom of a barrel. That's horribly unfair to the author and can't be blamed on the narrator either.

I like Loretta Chase's work and I'm sorry this production wasn't up to the standards we've come to expect in audiobooks.

Good story; poor production

I really did enjoy this book, my only complaint is the audio quality. I enjoyed Stevie Zimmerman's performance however the audio sounded like it had been recorded in an echo chamber and blurred out maybe could do with some digital retouching

Lovely story

This is nowhere as good as Lord Perfect or that entire series. The narration was good reader did a great job my 3 stars was because of the production, the recording was poor. I plan on listening to the next book in series.

Story ok

I would recommend this book to anybody looking for a sweet easy historical romance.

Sweet Story

I really thought the plot and characters were very enjoyable. I wanted to throttle the villain, I even balled up my fists when he was pulling his shenanigans. I like that our heroine was quick and smart. I even liked her admission that there was something riveting about the villain, because, let’s be frank, villains often have to have a certain attractiveness to get away with their machinations. I agree that the audio was not the best. The first chapter was okay, then it sounded as though the narrator was reading from inside a tin drum. Better audio would have guaranteed a 4 to 5 stars.
