About this listen

 Sparks fly between a lordly art critic and a lady forger in this enthralling Victorian historical romance from the author of The Runaway Duchess.

Nina Finch isn't suited for a life of crime. Raised by her art-forger brother, she can paint like Botticelli. But she'd so much rather be baking gooseberry tarts. She finally has the money she needs to open her own bakery. Unfortunately, her brother's carelessness lands her—and their forgeries—directly under the nose of London's most discerning art critic, Alan De'Ath. De'Ath knows the paintings are fake. He doesn't know that Nina had a hand in their creation. In fact, he offers her a job in his household. Accepting it is the most dangerous thing she has ever done....

Alan takes pride in seeing things other people miss. He plans to catch the forger and cement his reputation. There's only one problem: the closer he gets to the beguiling woman he hired, the less he trusts his perspective. Nina isn't what she seems. But despite their false start, she just might hold the real key to his heart.

As Nina and Alan’s attraction grows, divided loyalties threaten to pull them apart and shatter their worlds. They’ll lose everything, or discover how powerful true love can be.... Historical Historical Fiction Romance Victorian Heartfelt

Good story a little out of the ordinary. Very well narrated with non of the awful mispronunciations. Characters all have a voice of there own. Very enjoyable listen.

Enjoyable

Well narrated. Dramatic lightweight caper, peppered with awkward Americanisms so out of place in the genre and period and oh so easy to've been corrected to unify the flow with the clear research of the setting by the author.

The awkward male MC seems to've been on a DEI course to ensure he has the correct words and whimsy to accommodate the artistic female MC with 2023 sensibilities.

From the refences to Alice in Wonderland the tale is placed 1870'ish which is not my preferred period. Awkward not Regency Romp unexpected from the carriage and clothing on the thumbnail.

Sadly I found the "relationship" tiresome, uncomfortable and unrealistic and gave up before the consumation.

DISAPPOINTING DNF RETURNED
