About this listen

First, she loses her honor; then, she loses her heart. Seventeen-year-old heiress Sarah Lennox-Matthews has one goal in mind when she begins a flirtation with dissolute Darcy Ashton, the Earl of Moreland: to annoy his uncle, the handsome and dashing Sir Nicholas Ashton.

The ruse quickly turns sour when Darcy abducts her, intent on securing her considerable fortune. Fearing the ruin of her reputation, Sarah agrees to marry him forthwith. But soon she confronts a greater challenge to her honor than being forced into a loveless marriage. Darcy’s unbearably attractive uncle arrives at Moreland manor. Although matrimony is the least of Nicholas’s concerns, he seems determined to seduce her, putting her honor at stake again...and perhaps even her heart.

Well.. the story isn’t all that good. I nearly gave up because I couldn’t care less about the characters… they did grow on me but the narration definitely did not help and I found it extremely soporific. This is very sad as the ideas in the story were quite good. It would have made a better short story with a speedier narrator. So sorry not to have enjoyed it much

A sadly boring listen

The storyline was really good in itself but the two main characters were not well developed and much time was spent on trivial non plot related action and information particularly in the first few chapters. Cannot agree with other reviewers though as I thought the narration was very good.

Annoying hero and heroine

the story was interesting but the slow drooling voice of the reader made it impossible for me to continue the book I'd rather read it for my self if there was no other option for the reader
I'm sorry but I had to be honest

so irritating

A typical of this genre, so a classical romance. it has charm, with just a few Americanisms.

I enjoyed it.

Story line was predictable. The characters just seem flung together at the end and you aren't routing for their relationship

Meh

The book is well-written bit without any spark whatsoever.
The attraction between the main characters is invisible

No story to speak of and irritating heroine

Not the usual start to a romance but an exciting tale and full of romance. This author always produces original plots to her novels, I have listened to a number of her books and they are all interesting and enjoyable and will certainly select more!!!

Great story!

Amanda Scott's usual formula of feisty heroine and overbearing, arrogant hero. The narration was good.

Enjoyable if predictable

The author would be appalled at the unbearably slow narrator. All in monotone. Infuriating. Probably a great novel if you can bear the torture to the end.

Don't bother

I speed up the narrator to 1.3 on the app, made it easier to listen rather than that irritating drawl.
The story itself was irritating, a who done it, where you really don’t care who did it!!

An attempt to create a Georgian heroine
