Summary

Wooing may not be his strong suit....

Admittedly, when it comes to courtship, the marquess of Wallingham's strategy has been a few roses short of a bouquet. Charles Bainbridge has spent two long years wooing the woman he loves, waiting patiently until he is half-mad. Now, at a winter hunting party, he has one last chance to persuade her they are meant to be. This time, he won't let meaningless doubts, his meddling mother, or a few mishaps and mangled bonnets stand in his way.

...and passion may not be hers...

Safe and comfortable inside her tidy, carefully ordered existence, Julia Willoughby has never known longing like this. Others see Charles as the quiet, manageable sort. Julia sees the truth: This dragon's son has a fire of his own. Enough to sear her with a touch, a glance, a kiss. For the sake of his happiness, she refuses to bind him in a childless union. Her heart, however, isn't so easily convinced, for it wants Charles rather madly.

...but a marquess must do what a marquess must do....

Outraged at the thought of losing her to a dusty country squire, Charles makes a final offer: Spend 12 nights in his bed, and if she can still deny they are perfect for each other, he will let her go. But not before thoroughly tempting the lovely, stubborn Julia to trade sensible predictability for the sweet chaos of true love.

Contains mature themes.

Not great 😫

Misleading title as she only really becomes his mistress in the last 40% of the book.
It was a pointless romance. Most of the book she is refunding him just because she feels guilty that she had feelings for him when she was married. She never acted on that, but, now 2years after the death of her husband she is still refusing him 🤨😤
The spice was mild and stilted.
At least the narration was good. And thankfully it was a short book.

Enjoyable story

The story is charming and lovely , a tale of a long awaited love and passion finally getting a chance to bloom ……but not without interference from a meddling mother .

Well told story when you get used to the miss pronunciation of A,s to R,s and O,s to U,s it’s off putting at first it’s a shame when the narrator puts such great expression and passion into the characters .

Wooing Julia!

After wooing Julia for ages, Charles eventually resorts to challenging her to spend 'Twelve Nights as his Mistress'....... which was probably the cleverest thing that he could do.
This story was full of the love of two people for each other, who had both been married before and who just couldn't seem to successfully land up together on a permanent basis ... until that ultimatum.
As for the characters, you have just got to love Julia and Charles and of course one has to hate the conniving actions of his mother.
Julia has some nervous quirks which turn out to be quite sweet while one has to admire the persistence of Charles.
The the characters are a delight, the story is quite novel and very nicely written and easy to follow but I did have a small problem with some of the pronunciation of some of the words by the narrator, Mary Sarah, (e.g 'back' became 'baak') and I wasn't sure if it was just her accent or misreading of the words and found this was a bit annoying because I had to keep on going back in the audio to try and work out what was being said. But other than the pronunciation problem, the rest of her narration was quite pleasant.
Would I recommend the story? A definite 'yes'!

Still the same Narrator.

Sadly there is no hidden story, just gratuitous Sex and bad pronunciations.
The secondary characters remain the same, so no excitement.
As the series continues it gets worse not better.
Save your money.
