About this listen

At 30 years of age, Susan Jennings has long been considered a spinster. Exceptionally intelligent, she has little tolerance for London and the dreaded Season - if that’s how one is expected to find love, it’s not for her. But when an invitation arrives that cannot be ignored, Susan leaves her comfortable life in the country and enters the fashion and frivolity she most despises. She quickly discovers, however, that there is more to loathe in London - and his name is George Kendall.

George, Duke of Aylesham, has learned to keep his distance from cloying females chasing the title of duchess. Susan Jennings, however, proves an entirely different challenge - a woman who has pushed him to the limit of his patience with their every encounter. But their simmering hostility is disrupted by a thoughtless slipup: to avoid a marriage of political strategy, George claims he is already betrothed. And when pressed for the name of the lucky woman, only one name comes to mind: Susan’s. Their forced betrothal proves advantageous, but when their verbal sparring must change in order to be convincing, the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred by something neither expected: love.

Loved it

I liked the twist of the storyline. Quite imaginative. Narration was good, although in the begining I had some issues. Knew narrator was American from the get-go. Also was irritated by the overusage of some gramital terms and names. I felt they were used to add loftiness when not needed often. Will be listening to another though. Hoping to not experience the same issues on the next book.

An enjoyable story but a few things niged at me.

Clean, funny,sweet, lovely. All-around great story! The narration was slightly fast, so if you want it at easy listening speed, set it to .9

What a good story

This book was GREAT. The main characters were very grounded so although the circumstances seemed slightly silly, it was fully believable, enjoyably narrated, and I hope to listen to more books by this author.

I thought it might be silly-

I truly enjoyed beginning this book with frustration at the incorrect judgments thrown at each other, by George and Susan, then watching so comically as their opinions quickly changed through actual association. It was like watching someone dislike a book by looking at its cover, then being forced to read it and see the change in their attitude as they laugh, growl, and cheer throughout the story they initially rejected. I loved the dialogue, and the storyline, and the characters... especially the loveable "Fairy Godmother" and her butler. I would recommend this to all readers who look for clean romantic stories without swearing, or sexual innuendos making romance cheap. I would go so far as to compare Karen Tuft's writing with Jane Austen's style of wording the dialogue in such a way that leaves the true humor and subtle interpretations to the reader, without having to needlessly explain. It feels like reading on deeper levels somehow. 👍

Like Opening a Treat!

Susan and George learning to communicate and eventually finding common ground and learning to love each other made the story very entertaining. It was refreshing that their love was demonstrated without the author needing to include graphic sexual interactions.

Enjoyable Dialogue
