About this listen
Regency London
Having spent a childhood summer with Viscount Giles Weston, Angelica Wayne has never forgotten his kindness. But when he employs her as his daughter's governess, she finds him cold and formidable.
A widower, Giles is engaged to the beautiful but indifferent Lady Barbara Darlington. Darkly cynical, he avoids emotional commitment and wishes to be married in name only.
Despite Giles's attitude, Angelica comes to enjoy his company, and her feelings for him start to rekindle.
When Barbara calls off the engagement, Giles asks Angelica to take her place as his bride.
And Angelica must decide whether she can marry a man seemingly incapable of returning her affection . . .
What is the reason for Giles's haughtiness? Can Angelica thaw his frosty exterior? Or are both condemned to a life without love?

Finally a Dorothy Mack Audiobook
I've been checking on and off with the hope of a Dorothy Mack audiobook for a while now, so pleased one has been released and I hope for many more. For me her books have always been the next best thing to Georgette Heyer.
This isn't my favourite of DM's book but I still feel it deserves 5 stars. I find the characters well fleshed out and the era detail convincing. A deeply satisfying Romance.
The narration seemed a little odd initially and I wasn't sure I'd make it through the first chapter! However I did get used to it and it didn't negatively impact my enjoyment of the book. I've come to accept that mispronounciation is almost inevitable with a Regency Romance. In this case there were only a few errors, enough to be annoying though.

Misplaced pride
A different narrator would have made more of this story. I found the mispronunciations and breathy voice irritating. The story, however, was worth enduring the narrator,

Good story but terrible narrator!
The narrator totally spoiled the entire book. So slow and breathy, terrible. A shame as it’s a good story, if you don’t get bored and drift off after listening more than five minutes!
