A Viscount's Proposal

The Regency Spies of London, Book 2

By: Melanie Dickerson

Narrated by: Anna Parker-Naples

Leorah Langdon has no patience for Regency society's shallow hypocrisy and unnecessary rules, especially for women. She's determined to defy convention by marrying for grand passion instead of settling for a loveless union like her parents - or wedding a stuffy, pompous gentleman like Edward, the Viscount Withinghall. But when a chance meeting in the countryside leads to Leorah and Withinghall being discovered in his overturned carriage - alone and after dark - the ensuing gossip may force them together.

Withinghall has his reasons for clinging to propriety; his father perished in a duel with his mistress's husband, and Edward must avoid scandal himself if he wants to become prime minister. He certainly has no time for a reckless hoyden like Miss Langdon. But soon the two discover that Withinghall's coach "accident" was no such thing: the vehicle was sabotaged.

Can the culprit be brought to justice? Strong-willed Leorah and duty-driven Withinghall will have to work together if they have any hope of saving her reputation, his political career - and his life.

Bible thumping, badly narrated

Can't finish it. Despite the fact that the narrator gave the hero a high pitched unattractive less than tolerable voice I was listening. Right up until the Bible thumping began. I tried to go with it, I respect all beliefs.... but it passed to ride and I gave up.

pleasantly surprised

was not sure how I would like this series but ended up very much loving it and again on the edge if my seat throughout.

I enjoyed the story.

The story line was decent but the voice used for the Viscount was bad. He sounded like a wicked, old, decrepit man.

Enjoyable story

I loved the story but I almost wished I read it instead of listening. Most characters were given a good voice except for the the main male character and love interest. The reader made him sound snide and affected almost like a villain. I wondered that it wasn’t caught in production.

voice of viscount diminished the strory

Not as enjoyable as the first book in the series. A better vocal interpretation of the viscount may have help. The voice was shrill and unpleasant. The narrator was much more effective with the female voices.
