Summary

All Lady Victoria Kirby wants is to dig in the dirt, take notations, and record history, thank you very much. Bumbling through ballrooms and getting disdained by the ton for her less than ideal looks, on the other hand, is the last thing she wants. But her reckless father has a different idea for her future when he puts up the ultimate ante - her hand in marriage - and loses. Over her dead body.

The Duke of Chase cannot bear to see a woman misused. After all, he saw that often enough as a child. So when he's witness to a marquess gambling away his daughter to a lecher of a man, he has no choice but to step in and rescue her. Lady Victoria has a reputation for being as tart as a lemon and as bitter as one, too. So, he may have just found the perfect wife to keep a promise he made to himself long ago-to never have an heir. With her, surely, he'll never be tempted to take her to bed and break that promise.

But when he meets the wild, witty, intelligent young lady he's bound to marry, he knows trouble is headed his way.... And everything he ever swore to uphold may very well come undone, especially his heart.

Contains mature themes.

Awful narration

I liked the story but it was very badly let down by the narrator. Not so much a performance more a reading with very little definition between the characters and it was difficult at times to work out who was speaking. I will not bother with anything read by this narrator again.

Absolutely loved it

I had to forward the narration to 1.2x but immediately I did, I absolutely loved the storyline.

I just couldn't finish it

Between the writing and the Narrator, I'm sorry to say it was not for me.

baby girl voiced narrator

some times hero and heroine voices indistinguishable, the duke kind of sexless. can i bear listening any more now that he is, after years, giving into desire with that little voice?

Excruciating mispronunciations.

The narration is very ponderous (I had to speed it up) and somewhat ignorant. Covent Garden was read as ‘covenant’ rather than ‘cuvvent’ garden.
