"Matthews weaves suspense and mystery within an absorbing love story. Readers will be hard put to set this one down before the end." (Library Journal, starred review)
An Uncommon Beauty....
Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help.
An Unlikely Hero....
Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress? He has nothing left to offer except his good name.
Can a marriage of convenience save Philly from the vengeful duke? Or will life with Arthur put her - and her heart - in more danger than ever?

There were no forced misunderstandings - just two love thirsty people finding each other. Thank you Mimi Matthews!
I get it (from the comments by other readers) that not all of us out here look for the same in romance books, but to me - this book - that’s it!! Sweet and exciting story that is not insulting one’s intelligence. Perfect!
Narrator was not quite to my liking - I mean he has a great (really great!!) deep voice but he should work on not having so much of that whispering, questioning tone to the narration parts. He does voices (dialogues) otherwise well and I could thoroughly enjoy his reading if only he could tone down his monotonous rhythm a bit more (actually I think it did not bother me this time so much as it did in Parish Orphans of Devon series ;-) so - on a good way there!)
I am sure I will be listening to this story again and I can heartily recommend it to all Victorian novels’ lovers!
Finally, a great romance story!

I will give no spoiler alert but I will add the narrator is gifted making the audible twice as enjoyable.
Thank you

The plot itself was full of surprises and I often found myself smiling or laughing aloud with the story. I was glad that story didn’t seem to dwell unnecessarily on misunderstandings between the main characters. Although they naturally happened, misunderstandings were efficiently resolved, thus moving the story along.
Great story with a great narrator.
