About this listen

In a one-woman war against scandal...
Lord Oliver Stonenden gets whatever he wants - except the beautiful and headstrong Katharine Daltry. Katharine is the only woman who has ever denied him, and he cannot forget her. When he sees a chance to aid her cause by seducing a troublesome countess who is threatening Katharine's family, he rises to the occasion.

Her heart is the battleground.
Katharine Daltry concentrates on developing her skill at painting and avoids Polite Society, not least of all the handsome, heartless Lord Stonenden, whose proposal she flatly refused five years ago. But when her country cousin appeals to her for help, Katharine quickly finds herself at the very center of both scandal and controversy. And it seems a heartless rake is just the ally she needs...

It is hard to work-out the worst bits as there were so many. The portrayal of the TON!!!! The Narrator's execution of the characters is disastrous. The Narrator has the companion speaking in wispers, the cousin talks in a squeaky voice; painful. The choice is between killing her or committing suicide is a 50- 50 choice. There lots of set pieces and overacting by all the characters. The heroine servants are useless. Why set a story in a time the author obviously dislikes and has no respect for? All the characters are so, so childish, stamping "their feet" and throwing temper tantrums. In this case the Hero is actually pleasant. The heroine, despite her age, is childish, spoilt, ignorant of any good behaviour. Mis-uses her friends, family and servants. Why the hero wants be be involved with such as her. Is beyond belief!!! DON'T WASTE YOU TIME OR MONEY.

Childish
