About this listen

The Marquess of Southey requires a bride. A bevy of eligible young ladies gather at his country estate for a house party and, if they can capture his heart, a proposal of marriage. Miss Abigail Grey must chaperone her beautiful, willful stepsister at this marriage mart in miniature. Her reluctance increases tenfold when she recognizes the Marquess as Captain Rudyard Nowick, the poor soldier she refused to marry seven years before.

I'm surprised that this book has a low rating.
It's a sweet story. I agree that if Abigail was more forthcoming, they wouldn't have suffered, but then there's no story at all - or it would have been a one chapter story.
I like Rudyard's perseverance, and I like Abigail's loyalty.
I don't have any problems with VIrtual Voice narration, I set the speed to 1.8x.

I wish there's an epilogue

The premise of this story is really pretty good and even the AI narration is ok… except she mispronounces a few words. It’s really going along pretty good until about 2/3rds through (Chapter 33 in fact), and it just becomes downright lewd. So unnecessary. Doesn’t make the story any better. Had already tried to listen to another of the author’s “spinster” series books and it too had been less than clean although mostly inference. So, in an effort to be fair tried another. Just disgusting. Definitely my last of any of this author’s books. Wonder if she is one of the new so-called “Christian” Regency authors? Georgette Heyer would blush.

Lewd… Just Simply Lewd
