About this listen
Lady Sybil Hayworth might be petite, but her looks are deceiving—she comes from iron-willed stock. Her family claims a winding descent from Margaret Beaufort and they are unwavering in defense of their honor. An insult is easily taken, it invariably leads to a feud, and a Hayworth feud will continue until all parties to it have expired.
Richard Smythe, Marquess of Lockwood and heir to the Duke of Gravesley, has the misfortune of becoming one of those enemies. He knew of the plot against Cassandra Knightsbridge, and that is quite enough for Sybil.
Throughout the season, Sybil had enjoyed finding herself led into dinner by the lord, but all that must now come to an end. She will travel to a house party in Yorkshire and she is determined to forget about the gentlemen of the dukes' pact, especially Lord Lockwood.
As her carriage leaves London and rumbles north, Sybil might be wise to remember that Lord Lockwood is a war hero and there is no risk he will not dare. Lord Lockwood, on the other hand, might be wise to understand that it will take more than pushing into Lord Hugh's house party to win this particular battle.
Contains mature themes.

I like the concept of this series and, thus far, I like the individual prospective Dukes. Lord Lockwood is intrepid and focused. Lady Sybil is tiresome, insipid, dull. She was a far better character in book 1.
The setting is a house party in Yorkshire. The 3 most interesting characters are Lockwood, Kingston and Charlie (who prefers to be called Charles). Sybil and her father are the most trying. None are helped by the limitations of the narrator. Her voice is too squeaky and makes all of the strong characters seem weak and flaky (both male and female). Unfortunately she narrates for the entire series, so it is probably better to read the book. (She’s not dire, but she’s equally not the best).
Needs a better narrator
