When Savannah Dawson married the second son of an English earl, she never dreamed she'd have to leave America, let alone enter the aristocracy at her son's side. Yet when the earl dies and her husband disappears at sea, Savannah's life is upended. Bringing her young son to England to meet her shrewish mother-in-law is only the beginning of her trials. The dowager countess has asked a duke to assist in the new earl's education - a man whose power and position could define the course of Savannah's life. Proud and stubborn, Savannah refuses to be intimidated. And yet neither can she resist the attraction between them.

Reformed rakehell Gabriel Armstrong, Duke of Clevedon, has no room in his life for a woman. Especially an American commoner, the widow of his childhood friend. Beautiful and bold, Savannah nevertheless captivates his imagination.

Rumors abound that Savannah's husband is alive. Forces are at work to deny her son his title. And when an interloper arrives demanding repayment or revenge, the life of Savannah's son is in jeopardy. Savannah and Gabriel must work together to escape the shadows that could blot out the light of their future.

Contains mature themes.

Story was fine but narration was painful to listen to. The narrator tends to lisp the last letter of most of the works. It’s highly distracting

Horrible Narrator

I love this storyline and always like it when they merge the Americans and our cousins the English. It always makes for a lot of excitement and intrigue! The narrator is good but I never like her male voices.

Loved!

This was a good story but I just could not finish the book due to this narrator. This is the 2nd book that I have heard her read and both of them got under my skin.

Good story but…..

For a different narrator. I listened at 1.2 speed but it was odd. That said I didn’t hesitate to buy since this narrator is usually quite enjoyable to listen to.

The story was good. It could have used more heat to go with the segsy bits, it needed the chemistry to build a little at least.
Otherwise we’ll done.

I am glad I got it during a sale. I’d recommend reading it and not using a credit to listen to it.

Good plot but the dialogue was stilted. The porn was unnecessary in my opinion: It didn’t add anything to the story. The characters were rich in possibilities that were underdeveloped. The ML was more emotional than the FL. I would have liked Savanna to show more feelings and expressions in her speech. Overall, it was a disappointing book with such a promising plot. This was my first time reading this author’s work. Maybe this is one of her earlier books.

I found Ms. Salisbury approach to storytelling refreshingly direct yet intriguing. Her charming historical characterization were spot on. As far as the narration, I would term it as quirky and not at all "distracting" as well as appropriate to the historical setting. Please give us more Ms. Salisbury!!

Stunning Salisbury Story!!

The sorry was interesting and moved along, it had all the elements that make the story exciting. The narrator is superb and made the story, her voice makes the hero sound so sexy. Thank you !

Best narrator!

I like this story, it keeps me wanting to listen to the entire story in one setting

Lovely Story

This could have been a good book, unfortunately the narrator’s voice is awful. The low whisper of her does not sound like normal speech. The narrator puts a “th” at the end of EVERY WORD!!! Horrible listening.

Narrator’s voice is awful

Mary Sarah is on our short list of narrators to avoid thanks to her completely fake English accent
and overdramatic breathy cadences. She pronounces words that rhyme with back as "bock" and other similar treats.

This is otherwise a straightforward romance where problems that arise get sorted out directly. Nothing amazing, nothing funny, just a solid romance novel to pass the time. Will give JR Salisbury other tries as the story was fine but I rec only suffering thru Mary Sarah on Plus Catalog where it's close to free.

Mary Sarah's narration kills this story
