About this listen

He vows to never risk his heart again. She hides her love to avoid rejection. A marriage of convenience is not what either of them wished for.

Overlooked by society and underappreciated in her family, Ellen Bringhurst has resigned herself to spinsterhood and a life of reading. Until her match-making friends contrive to reintroduce Ellen to the man she has secretly loved since their shared childhood.

As the younger son to an earl, Marcus Calvert must wed in order to inherit his estate. Still nursing a broken heart, he prefers a practical approach to matrimony rather than romantic love. When Ellen is presented as a possible bride, he proposes a marriage of convenience.

Ellen accepts his hand, hiding her feelings rather than risking her husband's rejection. Marcus, though determined not to expose his heart again, finds more to admire in his childhood friend with each passing day. What began as a sensible arrangement now has the possibility to become so much more. But is Marcus willing to risk his heart a second time?

Narrator manages to read ‘….she said excitedly’ in the most unexciting way and sprinkled mispronunciations, so it was not a great listen. The story does not have much going on - it would benefit from some tension and drama, and some genuine blue-stocking feeling, rather than the lukewarm heroine described, who seems to have spent her childhood reluctantly but good-naturedly being the ‘lady’ rescued from towers and her adulthood being an avid reader who doesn’t say or object to much. The descriptions of places and people were good.

Not much happens

The narration was rather monotonous and I didn’t notice any change in the voices of the characters. The story didn’t hold my attention.

Glad to get to the end

I enjoyed this book greatly, it was pleasantly light and sweet, without risking bordering on insipid.
The plot line while comfortably predicting a happy ending - as this sort of novel provides, had enough twists and turns to keep my headphones glued to my ears!
The characters are all well rounded and their blunders are endearing rather than frustrating, aiding the plot line. I was left on the edge of my seat, without wanting to give the characters a good telling off.

If you are looking for a few hours pleasant escapism, without the overuse of 'Heaving Bussoms' so often present in other historic novels, this audio book is perfect.

An enchanting novel

I have really enjoyed listening to this story. The author, characters and narrator were very good.

A very enjoyable listening experience.

The narrator is carefully, precise and in some place soporific. The Scottish accent wasn't bad, but everything else took away from the story.
The story was realistic about two people who knew each other as children and have friends in common. The hero is being forced to marry and the heroine is on the shelf, it makes sense to marry. The Hero has been on the "Town" for ages, while the Heroine is bookish and introspective.
She thought she would like London, he hates it, so they have alot to sort out.
Pity about the narrator, she adds nothing to the story.

A good story, ruined by the narrator.

Sweet but juvenile romance. I found the conversations a bit stilted. Interaction with servants and modern language are common mistakes of American authors.
I increased the speed to 1.1 and this improved the narration slightly.

Dreadful narrator

I very much enjoyed this book but delighted that read it as book IV and not as book III

As book II & IV connect perfect

Great job done by the narrator

Great story …

As others have said, the narrator's voice is terribly monotonous. I can't tell you how many times I've had to rewind because I've either zoned out or fallen asleep before the timer!

Also, if I have to hear her say "HEATH-ERTON" one more time and not "HEATHER-TON" and there were several other words with very strange emphases, it's like she isn't English, when she is. Most odd! I've never heard anyone ever says those words like that!

The story is fine. Quite tame in comparison to many HR out there, but that's not a bad thing. This series is much more about feelings, emotions and difficult situations. But the combination of a tame story with a monotonous voice isn't so good. I'll get to the end of the series, but I won't relisten to it and I will actively avoid this narrator!

It's ok... just
