The Dowager Lady Worthington isn't quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility. But her sharp wit and outspoken nature has everyone in a tizzy. Especially their cousin, Dominic, the Marquis of Merton.

Prematurely stuffy, Dom was raised by his cheerless uncle to be wary of a host of things, including innovation, waltzing, and most perilous of all: true love. Still, there's something about Dotty, beyond her beauty, that Dom cannot resist. But the odds are against him if he intends to win her as his bride. Will he choose loyalty to his family - or risk everything for the one woman he believes is his perfect match?

I liked the story but not fond of narration, I speeded up the narration so it was much easier to listen to. But overall liked the story a lot. Drug out a little at the end. But I like this author.

Good Story

Yes it is a Regency novel but there is nothing cheesy about it. The story is well crafted and the characters well drawn. The Marquis is as dry as the the stick up his rump. He was raised steeped in the belief that he is an aristo and entitled. All was as it was to have been until an unknown woman approached him demanding he listen and hls refusal to release her until he could determine what she was up to. She was only trying to warn him of a pending parsons trap but before she could do it he dragged them both into an unintended trap and she became his afianceed bride. She is also an aristo but from the other wing. She believes that to whom much is given even more is expected. Being an aristo just isn't enough.

There are no spoliers here. Just a lost boy, a couple of kittens, murder, kidnapping and your usual Regency novel fare.

Not a Cheesy Romance Novel

I've only made it 38 minutes into this and I'm returning it and just reading the Kindle book. The narrator is terrible! Choppy elocution due to over-pronunciation of every single syllable so that *everyone* sounds like an old, pompous ass no matter what their age or sex! I gave the story 4 stars only based on on the other reviews but felt I needed to comment on the narration since no one else has given a review on the Audible book...

Narrator is terrible!

The story line is interesting and engaging. The narrator has many good voices, though some of the women sound oily when that’s not a fit for the character. I would listen to another book like this!

A Good Listen

I very much enjoyed the story with a few exceptions. So, to not give spoilers, I will just say something didn't make sense. For example, a Marquis so obsessed with title and rank of peer never studied Debrett’s and Burke’s Peerage?
In addition, the sex scenes were cookie-cutter boring. Honestly, if you can't be original or scorching hot, then just leave out the explicit details because it is just nasty, not exciting. I also hate when the virgins are experts in bed...give me a break!
The narration was ok.

Good plot & and subplots, but...

I’m still probleming with the narrator, but I much enjoyed this story. I think the touch on a social issues still relevant, unfortunately, was done well. The characters were well developed and I laughed out loud at times. I believe this novel quote a bit more entertaining and less drawn out as the first. Great read!

Better than the first book of the series

I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes due to the narration. I'm returning this one.

Narrator made the dialogue sound so stilted
