About this listen

Lady Augusta Penworthy is in dire straights.

Her father has spent every last coin, and she and her sisters cannot even afford coal. One chance encounter and a torn gown changes everything. While one might think a sudden marriage to a wealthy lord a relief if that marriage is to the Duke of Blacktower, one would be vastly mistaken. For no young lady wishes to be that infamous rake's bride.

The Duke of Blacktower has a secret. He has vowed never to marry and has ensured his fearsome reputation would dissuade any hopeful lady or their scheming mama. Now, his hand has been forced, and his fury is unleashed. But Lady Augusta is not the manipulative young lady he believed, and suddenly he finds himself tempted by his own bride.

From USA Today bestselling author Eva Devon, writing as Máire Claremont, comes a brand-new series that will sweep you away to the drama and angst of Regency England. Glittering ballrooms, wild moors, and brooding lords await...

I loved this story from start to finish, it’s exciting and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the characters and look forward to reading more in this series

Great story

Lovely story, enjoyed, but the two narrators swapping between chapters was jarring, it stops you being able to lose yourself in the story as at each switch you have to get your brain back into it again as you make the switch. An experiment that didn’t work. Disappointing.

Lovely story but jarring

Had all the components that make a good historical romance. A marriage of convenience, A strong FMC and a broody MMC who is at heart a romantic that’s carrying trauma. The bones are all there but really lacked details. The FMC doesn’t really interact with anyone else is society, they have a ball where nothing happens with other characters, literally no interaction whatsoever. A sister disappear halfway through, the main characters don’t really go through any emotional process because it’s taken over by the sisters storyline line with a rushed fight scene and then a quick reconciliation and ending.

Lacklustre

I feel like comparing the story to an insipid dish: you can eat it, but you taste nothing. The plot is dull, the characters flat. Overall a mediocre book.

Average, to say the least
