Robert Rothmore, Earl of Rockford, thinks Alissa Henning is simply delightful-exactly the kind of woman who'd make the perfect mother for his sons. But Alissa swore she'd spend the rest of her life scraping pennies together rather than wed the insufferable earl and become a glorified governess. Still, she couldn't very well let her own children starve - and there was no doubt that Rockford would give them all a good life. So, she reluctantly accepts his offer...but there's more to a good life than what's in one's pockets.

But the same can't be said when the Duke of Preston happens along Tabitha's path....

When the local magistrate jailed Jacelyn Trevaine's pet dog as a public nuisance, the country miss knew he meant to blackmail her into socializing with his nephew. High-spirited Jacelyn decided to free her dog by kidnapping the precious nephew, but unfortunately she abducted the wrong gentleman! Her captive was none other than handsome Lord Leigh Claibourne - returned war hero and rake extraordinaire. And four hours alone with the libertine Earl was tantamount to social ruin. Of course, she was already ruined.

Metzger and Rathborne pairing is worth listening!
So.... as with my previous reviews of/for this dynamic duo, this is a delightful listen. Barbara Metzger writes the story and Pippa Rathborne delivers the embodiment! Perfection! I am a fan so therefore I can be considered biased. But (with a my index finger pointing up) I am also discerning. An author can write a witty, funny, sad, compelling story that is really great! But, if the narrator has not the perspicacity to deliver the performance needed to breathe life into the author's story, then we have disappointed fans! I have yet to be disappointed by Ms Rathborne. Her intuitional renditions (can I put those two words together?) of the characters is on target and the story animates.

Hilarious
It had mystery, smart heroine, witty banter, romance, and supernatural elements. It was hilarious from the beginning until the end. It is not easy to narrate comedy, but the narrator was excellent and on the spot.
