About this listen

Lady Catriona Cordelia Mackenzie became a burden the moment she was born. Unwanted by her Scottish father for being born a girl and scorned by her grandmother for carrying a hated name, Della is only left with books for comfort. But when she reaches her majority, her father summons her to his Scottish keep to marry her off to the gentleman who will pledge the greatest alliance to him.

No matter the man’s vile reputation.

Andrew Darby, the Duke of Ravenwood, accepted the MacKenzie’s invitation to his Scottish keep thinking it to be a much-deserved stalking trip. After seeing his four sisters safely wed, he’s ready to start enjoying his own life without the responsibility of caring for his sisters. But when he learns of the MacKenzie’s true intent, he cannot stand by and allow Della to face her fate.

Even if it means he must marry her.

Not your usual feisty girl meets a reluctant lord and they eventually see the light in each other. This whole series has some interesting plots that make a change.

As with my review of the previous books, I would have given 5 stars for the narration, but there were some really odd pronunciations of not uncommon old fashioned words that frustrated me. I don't know where the producers or checkers are in the process of producing audiobooks, but how several people let these mispronunciations pass, is just beyond me

In this book one example I can remember was 'hyperbole'. The narrator pronounced it as 'hyper-bowl' instead of 'hyper-bo-ley' !!

Overall, I enjoyed this series

Still some Americanisms but I'm either getting used to them or they aren't as prevalent as in previous books of the series.

Her lack of confidence was a bit tedious but i suppose if you lack confidence it permeates all areas of life and there is no escaping it.

best of the series

I can only assume that a slight Yorkshire accent is the norm for the narrator. Otherwise, it is hard to understand her random choice of characters having such an accent. She should stick to her natural accent, as she has no talent, in trying to imitate others. The Hero is the one who is self-flagellating, he has added another woman to his basket of responsibility.The Heroine is "spineless." Her excuse; "being a dutiful daughter" The story is just unbelievable, far fetched and ridiculously. How does her father breaks into a house full of invisible servants? Then at the end all is forgiven!!!!!! I had hope the series would end on a high, but it followed the rest into the Abyss.

A damp Sqib.

I have listened to the rest of this series and commented before about the accents used by the narrator not fitting the characters. I wanted to finish the series but gave up after chapter 3, the Scottish accents were excruciating and at times unintelligible. I have no idea if the story was any good but it was a waste of a credit.

Dreadful
