Summary
The cold, precise Duke of Montford demands things his way: neatly ordered, in place, and adhering closely to the rules. So he is furious when he learns that the tenant of his ducal estate has been dead for a year, and a stranger has been running the Honeywell business - which, by contract, is now Montford's. When he arrives in Yorkshire to investigate, he discovers that the estate is being run by an unruly, tomboyish woman - and a bluestocking at that!
Fiery redhead Astrid Honeywell is independent and educated. She's been handling the Honeywell family business for years. And she's not about to relinquish it to anyone - not even Montford - because of some archaic contract.
Montford and Astrid have an instant hatred for one another...and an undeniable, unspeakable attraction. They must resist this improper desire - after all, Montford has a fiancée in London. But when Astrid's life is placed in terrible danger, Montford finds he may be willing to risk everything to save her.

Fun story, somewhat horrible narration.
The story was fun, a proper, or not so proper, Regency romp. The narrators voice was nice and pleasant to listen to, but her character voices were just horrible. So horrible that they were almost laughable. But the story is worth listening too, if you can tolerate her horrible accentss.

A very enjoyable story
I thoroughly enjoyed the story! And i will definitely be reading more by this author. I was a little put off by the narration - it did seem quite robotic at the start (and I thought it was possibly AI), but as the story progressed, the narration got a lot better

Quite ridiculous! But...
Although the behaviour of many of the characters is quite preposterous for the times and the language.. is at times very modern!!!! Nevertheless I did quite enjoy this, however, because it didn't have that historical accuracy I'm not sure I'll be bothered to look into the rest of the series, I prefer proper history with a story within it, rather than this which is a story set in a period, almost cynically appalling to those that just want the raunchy bits, whereas for me, the history is a priority and the romance is the bonus. I think, just not an author for me.

A funny loveable romance
This book had me chuckling out loud at times. I love the way the way the characters intermingle with each other and the way their lives change. A must listen for all romantics. Can't wait to hear the next book. Thank you for the fun Maggie Fennton and Sue Pitkin.

Slightly Annoying!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Probably not in all truthfulness - as main characters started to become very annoying!
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
About time!!! And definitely a second book with Sebastian I feel.
What about Sue Pitkin’s performance did you like?
I think she was very expressive and a good narrator
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really had to keep pushing myself to finish it

Awful!
I really did try to listen to this, but I had to admit defeat. The narration was just so awful and overdone, and it really grated on my nerves. Also, the story was boring, and Astrid was so annoying I wanted to slap her. Enough said.

Terrible
I wasted a credit on this book. It's too long , poorly written. To be honest it's silly.
It took about two months for me to finally complete..
