About this listen

Amazon #1 bestseller in Historical Romance and Regency Romances

The spirited Catherine Malboeuf has just arrived in England to reclaim her ancestral home, Walsley Manor, and a valuable missing heirloom. Nicholas Adair, the attractive and frustratingly inflexible Duke of Boulstridge, however, is quite unwilling to sell the estate back to Catherine. Unless, of course, she accepts a small wager . . .

Nick will sell Walsley Manor if—and only if—Catherine secures an offer of marriage from an eligible member of the ton before the end of the London season.

Of course, Nick is certain he'll win. After all, no proper gentleman would ever marry a woman who conceals a cutlass in her skirts. Yet something about Catherine's unconventional disposition seems to ignite a need deep inside him. A need that won't just cost him the wager, but the very heart he swore to never give away . . .

Contains mature themes.

The narrator was a bit stilted in parts and curricle was pronounced cure-i-cal for some reason, which I found irritating. 5* for the author.

Enjoyable romance

The narrator struggled with some accents, but worse was mangling common Regency terms. Suddenly the word curricle occured far too many times in a couple of pages, mispronounced every time.
The writing was OK, but starting with a basic error about a journey from the south through London to Derbyshire that took just a few hours made it obvious the author had not done enough research.
After that I nearly gave up in the first chapter.

Weak knowledge of the period and poor narration
