About this listen

London 1818

An American Heiress Who Must Swallow Her Pride

Miss Daphne Farrington despises three things: England's dreary weather, the grimy streets of London, and most especially the English aristocracy. Despite her misgivings, she must persuade the very English Duke of Waverly to save her family shipping business. If only she could ignore the way he makes her pulse race whenever she's near him.

A Duke Who Must Overcome Her Prejudice

Edward Lacey, the Duke of Waverly, is convinced that the lovely Miss Farrington, with her penchant for numbers, is the woman he'd like to make his Duchess. But unless he can convince her that not all English lords are callous, calculating rakes, a dark secret will ruin his chance at happiness.

Contains mature themes.

I just couldn’t like this heroine. She is all up in arms about not being included in their business affairs when in England (they are American), but when she has a chance to really do something to help, she can’t keep her cool and acts like a shrew. She also totally judges all Englishmen as horrible people (this is right after the revolutionary war), but then seems to damn the English for judging her the same way.

The narrator did a great job on male voices, but other than that, everything else sounded like she was depressed. Or maybe she was trying to sound soothing? Whatever it was, it just didn’t work for me.

Did not finish- wish I could get my money back.
