Publisher's summary

A cynical rake brings passion and excitement to a small country village in an enemies-to-lovers tale loosely based on Pride and Prejudice.

A retired rake…

The arrival of Thomas Campbell and his elder brother has the small village of Beauford astir. Not only is Thomas tall, dark, and handsome, he is also rumored to be a most notorious rake.

Miss Claire Gardner is young, innocent, and completely infuriating. Yet given an opportunity, Thomas can't help teaching the headstrong beauty a lesson in desire.

A quiet life for a lady...

Content with a simple rural life, Claire Gardner has no wish for a season in London nor is she eager to wed. But after a catastrophic mistake compromises her honor, Claire finds herself ensnared in scandal.

Claire is quite certain reformed rakes do not make the best husbands. She would rather face shame than lose her freedom to a man she is convinced does not love her. But as rumors swirl regarding her ruined reputation, the condemnation of her neighbors becomes more than she can bear.

Will the truth about the other woman in Thomas’s life destroy their marriage before it has even begun?

The Gardner Girls books are standalone stories which may be listened to in any order. Each book in the series is a rollicking adventure featuring a spunky heroine, a romantic hero, a swoon-worthy happy-ending, and at least one villain you'll love to hate!

Mistakes not to make when narrating a good book

Such a good story utterly ruined by choppy almost robotic narrative. I listened to the whole thing, but it took multiple resets as the story mattered but the narration lost me repeatedly.

That said, it was an enjoyable story. I wish I had just read it though!

Mistakes

Truly enjoyed listening to the story of Thomas and Claire. Narration was easy to follow and characters discerned without issue.
I would listen again as I was able to clean the house while absorbed in the story. 😊
