Publisher's summary

Emmeline Escot knows that she was born to ride in Seren's cutthroat velocipede races. The only problem: She's female in a world where women lead tightly laced lives. Emmeline watches her twin brother gain success as a professional racing jockey while her own life grows increasingly narrow. Ever more stifled by rules, corsets, and her upcoming marriage of convenience to a brusque stranger, Emmy rebels - with stunning consequences. Can her dream to race survive scandal, scrutiny, and heartbreak?

Great story…not such a great performance.

I am a woman and I was drawn to the story for multiple reasons. However, I almost quit listening after the first 20 minutes because the reader’s voice was so distracting. Luckily the story drew me in, and for a long while I was able to ignore the annoying predictability of the reader’s phrasing. Then, as the story moved forward, I realized that I really wanted to like the main male character… but I couldn’t, based on lack of emotion and unfortunate monotone delivery that the reader gave him (which was the same voice for all the male characters).
All that aside, I liked the story very much and I loved the parallels that tied women’s plight in a fictitious setting to the difficulties experienced by today’s women.
