About this listen

Christopher Cynster has finally accepted that to have the life he wants, he needs a wife, but before he can even think of searching for the right lady, he’s drawn into an investigation into the distribution of counterfeit banknotes.

London born and bred, Ellen Martingale is battling to preserve the fiction that her much-loved uncle, Christopher’s neighbor, still has his wits about him, but Christopher’s questions regarding nearby Goffard Hall trigger her suspicions. As her younger brother attends card parties at the Hall, she feels compelled to investigate.

While Ellen appears to be the sort of frippery female Christopher abhors, he quickly learns that, in her case, appearances are deceiving. And through the twists and turns in an investigation that grows ever more serious and urgent, he discovers how easy it is to fall in love, while Ellen learns that love hasn’t, after all, passed her by.

But then the villain steps from the shadows, and love’s strengths and vulnerabilities are put to the test - just as Christopher has always feared. Will he pass muster? Can they triumph? Or will they lose all they’ve so recently found?

The story was enjoyable but the narrator was terrible. His reading was expressionless, sounding as if he was bored to tears! A bit like a small child plodding listlessly through a reading exercise - and I’ve listened to plenty of those.

Dreadful narration

Terrific story ! This is the fourth Stephanie Lauren's story I ordered and all have been great to listen to, this one no less. I will be listening to my favourite bits again.

Great listen !!

Combine the super slow reading (I speeded it up to 1.2 and it still seemed laboured) with a super boring gurgitation of the millions of Cynsters and their progeny, I found this hard to listen to. the theme of protecting womenfolk is strained. I love remeeting Lady Osbaldestone and the earlier Cynster generations, but is it necessary to track all the family rabbit warrens? Given that romance is all about H meeting h and SEX, the results of ongoing couplings and perfect offspring is not pertinent to this story; indeed the odd miscarriage, drowning, or autistic or deaf child would lift the series.

series has become laboured
