About this listen
Thomas Jennings arrives to his newly acquired estate to find that his steward has fled under a cloud of scandal, and the property has been held together by Miss Loris Tanner, the steward's daughter. Thomas knows what it's like to not fit in, and he's pragmatic enough to respect results, so he gives Loris a chance to maintain her position in a profession uniformly undertaken by men.
Thomas learns about the complexities of estate management from his unlikely tutor, despite somebody's attempts to drive him off his own land. Mishaps turn into near tragedies, while between Thomas and Loris, respect and liking grow into attraction. Who is sabotaging Thomas's estate, and what choices will Loris face when the malefactor has been revealed? Contains mature themes.

Story
Lord Courtenay has been called many things and has never much cared. But after the publication of a salacious novel supposedly based on his exploits, he finds himself shunned from society. Unable to see his nephew, he is willing to do anything to improve his reputation, even if that means spending time with the most proper man in London. Julian Medlock has spent years becoming the epitome of correct behavior. As far as he cares, if Courtenay finds himself in hot water, it's his own fault for behaving so badly - and being so blasted irresistible.

Story
A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher “Grey” Pryde, fifth duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey’s focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfather’s funeral, he’s shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn’t interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady....

Story
He is the last duke standing...the sole remaining bachelor of the three self-proclaimed Decadent Dukes. Yet, Davina MacCallum's reasons for searching out the handsome Duke of Brentworth have nothing to do with marriage. Scottish lands were unfairly confiscated from her family by the Crown and given to his. A reasonable man with vast holdings can surely part with one trivial estate, especially when Davina intends to put it to good use. Brentworth, however, is as difficult to persuade as he is to resist.

Well written
As usual, Grace Burrowes delivers an entertaining HEA historical romance. Thomas and Loris are somewhat different characters as Thomas is not the standard arrogant nobleman and Loris is not the standard damsel in distress. Supporting characters have their own unique personalities and do not muddy the novel with senseless "walk-ons." Slight caution: beware the story has some strong sensuality. As narrator, James Langton provides drama and clarity between voices -- just wish he could do women just a bit better (the screechy, whiney tone at times is off-putting).

Adds a whole new layer to the paper book
Bias alert - I'm already a Grace Burrowes fan and this was one of my early purchases in paper. So I questioned buying the audiobook. SO glad I did!
James Langton adds a whole layer of depth to the characters. Picks up the voices I thought the characters might have in my head and makes them totally come alive. Totally loses me in the story so that I'm barely aware of anything else.
This is a repeat listen for me. No stereotypical characters here. Very flawed, very human and very addictive people. I felt like I was immersed in family, watching things play out.
One of the best authors writing enhanced by one of the best narrators out there. So long as Burrowes is writing and Langton is narrating, these are immediate must buys for me.
If you haven't experienced the bliss of listening to (or reading) one of Burrowe's books, you need to. These make you want to listen again and again. They never get old and I always come away feeling like I've spent time with old friends.

Yes!!!! A+++!!!
You go Grace Burrowes!!!
If you enjoy Stephanie Laurens books... Grace Burrows style of writing is similiar... The narrator, James Langton is absolute pefection...he brings such charm to each character which gave them separation & life throughout this book...
I love a good mystery that has a solid foundation with a love match that grows throughout the story...
If you are like me & do not like a story where there is a long drawn-out disruption between characters that recognize they are in love... a mystery that has an over the top villian... & don't deal well with women portrayed as puppets... YOU will LOVE this book!!!
I found this book to have just enough romance, mystery, strong female personas & quick solutions... and the characters easily relatable & formed attachments to them throughout the book so I couldn't stop listening... A+++

Interesting but not an easy read
The story is interesting. The characters are well developed & likable. However, it is not an easy read because you MUST pay attention as there are several jumps to different unrelated scenes, flashbacks, and reflections that are stuck into odd moments. I was confused often and had to replay or just hope things would be explained later.
Additionally, there are many dear friendships, family relationships & romance. The sexy scenes are intelligent, full of desire, but not crude.
The narration is very good, but at times, it is hard to tell if the dialog is internal or actually part of a conversation.

Not sure
Narration was good. You get used to James Langton's female voices. The overall arc of the story was ok. The ending should have been better. Every subplot mystery flopped. Each reveal was disappointing. The story came across as if the author spent months writing a book and realized they had 10 minutes to wrap up the whole story.
Thomas thinks of himself as a gentleman but does not act like one. He talks of propriety but never follows it.
Loris was a character of 2 sides. An independent woman doing a traditionally male profession. Hard working, yet she is weak willed. It seemed like she gave up and just let everything happen to her.
Spoilers ahead...
I am not a fan of non consent disguised as seduction. Chapters 6 - 9 were problematic. Loris tells Thomas to not kiss her anymore and not take liberties. He grabs her and takes her to a more private place. He then kisses and gropes her. He pulls away after awhile and his proud of himself for his "demonstration of gentlemanly restraint." He believes he just proved to her that he was a true gentleman. Later he tells her to trust him as he opens his pants. Stop being shy he says. Stop thinking. He is consistently telling her how to feel. He does not think anything he is doing is wrong. It makes it impossible to be happy for him or cheer him on for the remainder of the story.

Good listen; Loved the main couple
This book is very.good and the characters are well drawn. Being set on a horse farm added a new twist to the plot, especially when fire was introduced to the mixed. Loris from the beginning cried independence and no marriage but I didn’t believe she was serious. She fell for the Baron too fast. Thomas acted from the beginning like he was looking for a wife whether he knew it or not. Timing was just right and the story just moved along. The villains weren’t monsters; just stupid. All told, I wondered if she got the horse they talked about from Giles’ farm. I hope so. That horse needed a loving home with good training.

Fun
A little bit of intrigue and fun. Women’s rights before it’s time. I appreciated the the hero respected as well as “desired” the heroine. I was a bit confused as to all the Baron and land he owned but never visited within this story… perhaps a setting for another book? I was also confused as to all the extra characters…. Other than that I think it came out to a happy conclusion 😊

Good story and great characters
Thomas is one of my favorite characters in this series. He's strong yet thoughtful and considerate. His leader persona is just that...as a leader. However, he could be dictatorial occasionally. The book is well-written, fast paced and entertaining. This is definitely a repeater for me.
