Summary

The New York Times bestselling author of Too Dangerous for a Lady returns with another roguishly delicious Regency romance . . . 

Since being widowed two years ago, Kitty Cateril has been trapped in her late husband's home, where she is expected to mourn forever. Desperate to escape, Kitty will consider any option—even a hasty marriage to a stranger with no intention of abandoning his bachelor ways. 

London life suits Beau Braydon, especially his work keeping Britain safe. So when he inherits the title of Viscount Dauntry, he has no intention of resettling on a rural estate. He can't resist the opportunity to marry a sensible widow who can manage Beauchamp Abbey for him—until he realizes Kitty is more than he bargained for . . . 

Before Kitty and Dauntry can adjust to each other, a threat to the royal family takes them to London. Soon someone is determined to prevent Dauntry from exposing the villain, and secrets in Kitty's past threaten their growing love . . .

Contains mature themes.

Kitty is actually intelligent and quite witty, in her late twenties but the narrator makes her sound like a little girl
Lots to like about this one, but they spend a couple of days together and are deep in love. Too much too soon

A bit different than other regency romances I have listened to. It remained interesting to the end. I liked the twists and was surprised by the ending. The romance was a bit unlikely but still found it delightful

Loved it

The premise of the story is good and the characters are interesting but the narration is so poor that it is a struggle to concentrate on the unfolding of the plot. The narrator has a just a single rhythm to her reading, which dulls the narrative and eventually becomes so irritating that listening has to be limited to short bursts of one chapter at a time. Such a shame for the author’s work to be devalued like this.

Appalling Narration

I like the characters, the spark of their dialogue, the way it untangles and resolves, and the language and detail from the period.

Just brilliant.
