About this listen

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the classic erotic romance novel, Sylvia Day's The Stranger I Married - a tale of love and awakened desire in Victorian England. Also by Sylvia Day: the sensational internationally bestselling Crossfire Series.

They are London's most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well matched in all things - lusty appetites, constant paramours, provocative reputations, and their absolute refusal to ruin a marriage of convenience by falling in love. It is a most agreeable sham - until a shocking event sends Gerard from her side. When, four years later, Gerard returns, the boyish rogue is now a powerful, irresistible man determined to seduce Isabel. He is not the man she married - but is he the one to finally steal her heart?

Praise for Sylvia Day:
'Move over Danielle Steel and Jackie Collins, this is the dawn of a new Day' Amuse

'Several shades darker and a hundred degrees hotter than anything you've read before' Reveal

If you liked pride and pleasure, and seven years to sin, you will love this book too. In fact I think it's my favourite of the three. A fantastic period romance x

Fantastic!

It was at times predictable, so I would have liked a little more intrigue.

Gerrad.

Not really, though it was nice to see how the other halve lived all those years ago.
