About this listen

 Set amidst the glitz and glamour of high society Victorian London, The Proposition is an opulent tale of blossoming love.

Lady Edwina Bollash is a woman of importance and distinction who has never been the object of any man's affection. However, when she meets Mick Tremore, a tall, handsome young man from the bottommost rung of society, she instantly attracts his attention. As Mick wants desperately to become a gentleman, Edwina decides to transform him into a man with class. From the start, she notices the way he looks at her. But what she doesn't yet realize is that as much as she is preparing him, he is preparing her for a place in his heart--and in his bed. Narrator Steven Crossley elevates the mounting passion of Ivory's prose, building tension with every breath and every sensuous word.

I did not enjoy this book anything like as much as Indiscretion as the characters were not as well rounded and the story less believable. However, an interesting premise and a reasonable take on Pygmalion. The narrator did a good job but the heroine sounded (at least to me) rather older than she was actually supposed to be and the accents weren’t quite as believable as they could have been. All in all not one to listen to again but probably worth one read.

A bit long winded at times

Thoroughly enjoyed, laughed out loud, was invested in the characters and the story. I think the narrator is excellent. Worth 5 stars. It rambled a bit in places and the sex scenes were too long, so I fast forwarded a few times, but it didn’t stop me enjoying.

Could use a bit of editing

I listen to quite a lot of audiobooks and sometimes the storylines are so similar. It's really great when I get to listen to a story with a concept that I haven't heard before. I liked the book but I feel like the end was rushed and too neatly wrapped up
