About this listen

Tragedy brings them together. Will love tear them apart?

New York City, 1832. Clarissa Tanner is carefree and lighthearted until the sudden death of her parents. Forced to pay off family debts or lose her horse farm, she’s given one choice: auction off her beloved horses or reluctantly enter 1830s New York Society social season to face the dreaded marriage market.

Nicholas is a man on a mission, searching for his missing brother. Fearing Liam may be the victim of foul play, Nicholas needs to keep a low profile while conducting his search. He takes a position as a dance instructor, providing refresher lessons to the beautiful but distracted Clarissa.

Clarissa and Nicholas find a connection through grief and movement as they fight their attraction to one another. Will they give in to their desires and find true love, or will family obligations keep them apart?

Never before heard such awful attempts at Scottish and Irish accents, so bad it was difficult at times to know who was supposed to be speaking. the story was all over the place and left gapping holes as to what happened. The supposed time span in which everything occurred was totally unbelievable. I'm only glad I didn't buy it.

Dreadful

the narrator delivered a very confusing accent for the grandmother, often sounding extremely automated.
