About this listen

The rules of marriage...according to Miss Annabel Essex. A husband must be:

  • Rich. Make that very rich. She's had enough of leaky roofs and thread-worn clothing.
  • English. London is the center of the civilized world, and Annabel has a passion for silk and hot water.
  • Amiable. Good-looking would be nice, but not necessary. Same for intelligent.

Isn't she lucky? She's found just the man! And her chosen spouse is nothing like the impoverished Scottish Earl of Ardmore, who has nothing but his gorgeous eyes, his brain - and his kisses - to recommend him.

So what cruel twist of fate put her in a carriage on her way to Scotland with just that impoverished earl and all the world thinking they're man and wife? Sleeping in the same bed? Not to mention the game of words started by the earl - in which the prize is a kiss. And the forfeit....

Well. They are almost married, after all!

Much better

Every story has its inspiration and then the author writes their own story. James’ inspiration from one of the classics, then turning it own it’s head with her own story was fabulous.

Wonderful

I loved this book, it was very entertaining. The Essex sisters are hilarious. My one issue with the book is that the first 10 chapters are not about the main character. It was confusing. In fact, the story jumps around so much if I hadn't read Book 1, I'd have been completely lost.
I still gave it 5 stars even though the book's structure is a bit clumsy. EJ weaves the story and sub stories together eventually.
The narration was good.

Enjoyable read!

Susan is very dramatic. It is like listening to a radio drama. The series is like play in four parts. The first, albeit a little slow, has to introduce all the characters, their histories and foibles. Everyone has issues and each has their aha! Moment. I have read the books and listened to them. Listening makes my dreary tasks so much more fun—I can heard laughing and commenting aloud. Josephine’s story is the last and best.

Fun Series

Any additional comments?

Another good book by Eloisa James. I can't imagine living in times like this where what people said about you could alter your life forever. In this book, Annabel Essex has to get married to the Earl of Ardmore because of a scandal brought on by the lies sold to the papers. He takes her to Scotland to wed her in his homeland and promises to not compromise her until they reach their destination and are married. Their journey brings them in a close enough contact that they fall madly and passionately in love.
Good storyline, narration and love story.

Lovely story

The developing romance between Annabel and Ardmore was very sweet. I really wish there was more of a Scottish accent to Ardmore. I found it too light. Eloisa James puts so many points of view in this series that it’s hard to follow at times who the story is really about. It’s like watching a soap opera. Overall I enjoyed the story.

More Scots accent please.

Omg. The character imagine was so hateful in book one it was upsetting then to pick up book 2 and find they're still sprinkling it with this hateful woman woman Was a bit much. Other than that I loved book 1 and 2 end and planning on skipping images story how do you redeem a character after 2 books of her being evil or rather just spoiled spoiled hateful .

I love the series.... but

I love these two but the one sister that I can’t stand is Imogene. She’s terrible! Terrible in every single way. I wish she wasn’t a part of this story . She’s selfish to the bone

I love the story line.
