About this listen

He had already made up his mind about her...then she changed it.

Thrice wedded, but never bedded, Mathilde Martindale has long lived in the shadow of her indomitable mother, and meekly done as she was told. Until one day she decides to become mistress of her own destiny and leave the royal court to find her own path.

Married by proxy, Lord Martindale has never even met his bride of three years. Wed as part of a peace treaty, he bitterly resents the mercenary wife who cares only for wealth and prestige. And then he meets her....

Contains mature themes.

Stay away if you want fast-paced books.

This was such a nice cozy book, granted at times I felt a little lost. I went online and searched about the world of Karadok and well this isn’t the first in that world of the author.

I’m planning on reading the Vawdrey brothers series first because it seems that comes first as they were heavily mentioned in this book.

Aside from that, I enjoyed this book. And I do love a good grovel.

This must be what cozy books are.

Slightly off putting use of English but story jogged along nicely and I’m afraid the emasculation of the males a little unusual for the times….

The narration

The heroine was just too pathetic. Supposedly adventurous yet completely naive and submissive with her husband. It simply wasn’t convincing.

Irritating heroine

I enjoyed this story, and the plot developed enough to truly hold my attention until the end, rather than being tepid like many historical romances. I liked how the characters grew through the story, too.

Enjoyable story

Absolutely.. as expected. Not a shocking twist to the story, nor a huge disappointment. It was well written, but utterly cliché. If you like mushy with a little bit of smut, then this is the book for you. You know what you’re going to get. Slight angst before everything comes good at the end. But not so much that you worry for them..

You won’t be on the edge of your seat, but you probably won’t be bored enough to switch it off. It’s essentially a Sunday afternoon movie on a rainy weekend. Reasonably enjoyable

Pretty standard
