In the first novel of Maya Rodale's stunning new series, an American heiress must learn to navigate London society and an infuriatingly irresistible rake....
Lord Darcy is the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Americans has inherited one of England's most respected dukedoms. But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better judgment fly out the window when he finds himself with the maddening American girl next door.
Lady Bridget Cavendish has grand - but thwarted - plans to become a perfect lady and take the haute ton by storm. In her diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate into London high society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her disdain for the dreadful Lord Darcy, and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all.
It was loathing at first sight for Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing...and somehow involve kissing. When Lady Bridget's diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all - a sterling reputation or a perfectly imperfect love.

Maarleveld needs to learn how to pronounce words that are common to regency romance. Words like Almack's (ALL-max), Viscount (VIE-count), Marchioness (MARSH-ee-on-ESS), valet (val-ETT) and about a dozen others. Her narration was lifeless and dull, and the constant mispronounced words yank you out of the story. It's her job to understand these words and how they are pronounced. (And seriously, Audible, aren't there editors or directors listening to these things?)
The sub-par narration really ruined this one for me, and Maarleveld is now on my lousy narrator watch list.
Disappointing

I upped the speed, which gave the story a bit more energy and got invested halfway through. But, having stuck it out, I was disappointed that the slow burn paid out with a single scene that was so quick and indirect that it might as well have faded to black entirely. The two prior scenes at first and second base were the only other steamy bits. Those looking for bodice ripping in their regency should look elsewhere. Those who are happy with a solid regency romance, decent supporting cast (and two sisters who will feature in the next books), and even some LGBTQ positive points should find this worth the sale price.
More on the Pride&Prejudice than Bridget Jones end

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ This book is very much a Bridget Jones meets Pride and Prejudice. It really is the best way I can describe it. The storyline is always a good one and I liked the slight changes in the details. The narrator was new to me and she read well, I would listen to her again.

Humor level 2 out of 5 -chuckles and smiles
Sexy time 3/5- there was little internal dialogue about throbbing cocks and poking nibbles. Having said that there are some intense groping before a doors wide open sexy time. It is at least after a relationship has begun, no insta love and constant inner dialogues about sexual cravings to trip up the plot.
Violence .5/5 a couple of punches
If Mr Darcy had full conversations with Elizabeth

Unfortunately, it ends up not being particularly complimentary (in its imitation) to either source (BJD or P&P).
Saskia Maarleveld’s narration had too many mispronunciations which kept pulling one from the storyline. Her cadence was also odd at varying times. Her accents were fine but her voice differentiation could have been better between the three sisters.
I didn’t love this and probably won’t buy another book by Maya Rodale.
The story doesn’t stand up, neither the jarring narration.
