Publisher's summary

Thea

I would do nearly anything to avoid the lecherous advances of an eager earl, including running away from my finishing school and finding employment under a false name. The work turned out to be harder than I expected, however, and the prospect of returning to a life of comfort and a significant reduction of welts on my hands and shadows beneath my eyes just might be a temptation I’m too weary to refuse. The problem? The invitation comes from Benedict, the ultimate tormentor of my youth and brief object of my infatuation—the latter of which he can never find out.

Benedict

When I found Thea working in the belly of a grand house and did my best to convince her to return home with me where my mother awaited her, I did not expect her to agree. Our years of quarreling had solidified the woman as my enemy, and traveling alone together was a prospect that both terrified and intrigued me. Thea had only been my friend for a brief time years ago, and I do not know why she turned us against one another. But now that we’re forced together again, I cannot help but renew my determination to find out—because a woman who can hate with such fire is bound to love with the same fervor.

Very good

I enjoyed it very much. I wish I hadn’t read them out of sequence. I think I would have enjoyed it more.

Great story and good narration.

I liked the two different narrators. The male for the man pov and the female for the woman pov. It was very neat listen. Such a well written book, flowed really nicely. Lovely read.

Good Story

I enjoyed this book even though I was getting frustrated with Thea taking so long to believe that Ben loved her and was not her father. It was a good, clean read with great narrators; I look forward to the next book.

Two narrators does not work!

Good continuation of the series. Unique situations, sweet romance.

I do wish the editors were knowledgeable enough to catch when the author uses "I" as the object of the sentences instead of the correct "me." Frankly I am astonished at this violation of a simple grammatical rule. Otherwise the book is well written.

It is not pleasing when they use two narrators who each do voices for all characters. We know these characters—and their characteristics—by their voices. We do not look a film to tell us who is talking. To have their voices change back and forth is rediculous!!! These narrators are capable of doing both male and female voices and characters! I believe that the first book in this series only used one narrator, and that is preferred!

In this instance, I preferred the smoother voice and acting of the male narrator. I do wish he'd use a lower voice for the highest-pitched brother. It was too feminine. Female narrators can lower their voices to do male characters well, so obviously male narrators can too! The female narrator is good, but she has a bit of a grating voice.

Great Writer!

I loved the first book in the Bradwell Brothers series; however, I did not care for this one as much simply because of the male narrator. His voice was slow and way too monotone for my tastes & this took away from my listening pleasure. I am on Chapter 15 & will finish the book because I am loving the storyline.

satisfying ending

Plot twists and turns arrived at a great ending for the main characters with the promise of an exciting next book in the series for what I'm sure to be one of my favorite characters. I listened voraciously in spite of tiring of the two main characters' continual bickering and misunderstandings throughout most of the novel (the point had been sufficiently made), yet both their points of view were explained. I highly anticipate reading about the third Bradford brother's introduction to romance and finding a wife as was hinted for the next novel of the series!
Dear Author: PLEASE write a "Bradford Brother's Christmas" novel with them & their new wives & developments. I was so disappointed when this one skipped from a few weeks before Christmas to a few weeks after. Please give us readers a period-approriate description of a Christmas time and its preparations & events.
