About this listen

Miss Belle Heartstone - heiress and savvy businesswoman - needs a husband. Immediately. As in, yesterday would not have been soon enough. Her mother's attempts at matchmaking have been disastrous. So Belle decides to solve the problem her way - survey the market and purchase the best groom available.

Colin Radcliffe, Marquess of Blake - debt-ridden and penniless - needs a large infusion of cash. Desperately. Preferably cash that does not come with a wife attached. It is no surprise, then, when he receives Miss Heartstone's brazen proposal - her cash, his title, their marriage - that he politely declines.

But before he leaves her, Blake suggests something truly radical: Maybe before finding a husband, Belle should find herself. His simple words send them both on an unexpected journey, spanning continents and years, entwining their lives in ways neither could have foreseen. Can two lonely souls move past societal expectations and forge a unique life together?

The hero behaves like a petulant teenager despite the heroine having treated him with extreme generosity. I would have booted him into touch.

Injured sensibilities

Stoyry is too long and held up by some ludicrous conceit (30 year old man with good eyesight fails to recognize a woman who proposed marriage to him 7 years previously, etc). But it is sweet and parts are very nicely observed. Worth a listen whilst doing something else.

Good enough
