About this listen

When two strangers meet under false pretenses during an idyllic week in the French countryside, they'll each need to face the truth to find one other again.

Orphaned Zoë Benoît has spent the last three years in Paris learning how to be a lady. But Zoë is torn—as an independent spirit and a talented artist, she cannot help but want more than the controlled life of a lady.

On an impulsive visit to the château where her mother lived, Zoë, disguised as a maidservant named Vita, meets a handsome wandering artist, known simply as Reynard. One blissful week with the charming Reynard convinces Zoë that this is the man and the life for her—until she discovers what he's been hiding, and she flees.

Longing for the chance to redeem himself, Reynard searches far and wide for the woman he knows as Vita, to no avail. Disheartened, he returns to England to reluctantly resume his role as Julian Fox, the Earl of Foxton. However, when he sees one of Zoë's paintings, he realizes she's in London, and becomes desperate to find her. But even if they reunite, can he convince Zoë he's worthy of her trust and prove to her that, with him, she can be a free-spirited artist and a countess?

Contains mature themes.

The beginning was good, then story became repetitive. Like "Looping in Python".
For some unknown reason; as the Heroine has done as much lying and cheating as the Hero. She decided to take the "moral high ground", then harps on about it ad infinitum. By the time they met again in London, I was throughly bored, hoped for and end to my suffering. However, the loop continued to be played and the story was extended. Even bringing in the neighbour, didn't help as she just joined the loop. The heroine being a bastard; became important, so extended the story and the loop. A real disappointment after the previous stories, not worth the effort or money.

Started well, then became tedious.
