About this listen

England, 1819. The earl of Amhurst has returned to his estate in search of a wife and, more importantly, an heir. Simon Devere isn't interested in some comely, simpering creature. A beautiful woman brings only heartbreak and ruin, and Simon's disfigured visage is proof enough of that. No, he wants a wife who is unattractive and undesirable - and the homelier, the better.

But nothing about Lady Henrietta Beauchamp is homely. She is lovely and sweet and struggles to mix with polite society when she would so much rather have plants for company. And yet Simon is her only hope for keeping Plumburn Castle in her family's possession, even if it means marrying a man she doesn't love.

It's an impossible and unlikely match unless this awkward beauty can bring hope back into a solitary beast's life.

The plot is gibberish. It’s full of historical inaccuracies. The characters apart from the main ones do not behave remotely realistically. It’s just waffle throughout as a vehicle for sex scenes that are repetitive and FULL OF CLICHES. Of course, the ‘long hard thighs’ make an appearance, the stern dimpled chin, the broad shoulders and then the heroine has the unlikely figure of a plump chest but tiny bottom.. The narrator is good but the story is boring fluff.

Silly. It reads like a lot of ‘filler’

I really enjoyed this short romance which I think was well written. I almost didn’t read it because of reviews about the narration but I’m glad I did. I had no problem with the narration and thought she did a great job.

Short and sweet romance.

This is a lovely story, but the narrators voice is high pitched and uncomfortable to listen to. Shame as it takes away from the experience.

Lovely story - shrill narrator

The story unravelled a bit towards the end. There are some quaint American notions of Regency behaviour. The narration was excellent.

Not bad
