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

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

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

I could share this with my Granddaughter

I read the reviews about the production quality and I did notice some issues, but overall it wasn't as bad as I'd expected. I was still able to enjoy this story. For what it's worth, for those who have read other Loretta Chase books, this one is less explicit. I also thought the narrator did a very nice job. I'm going to continue the series.

Enjoyed it!

I listen to a lot of book on audible and have never had to listen to such horrible background white noise

bad sound quality

Audio quality not very good. Needed noise canceling headphones to hear. Definitely an early effort by Chase, but a good story overall aided by good narration.
