Publisher's summary

A Marriage of Convenience

Such is the agreement forged between Lady Jessica Stanton and Simon Warland, Earl of Northcote. Jessica needs a husband strong enough to protect her inheritance from her avaricious stepbrother. Simon needs money to restore the family legacy his father squandered. United by necessity, emotional attachment isn’t part of the deal.

An Unexpected Passion

Yet once the reluctant newlyweds are living under the same roof, Simon can’t ignore the startling intellect, gentle strength, and graceful beauty Jessica keeps so carefully hidden from the world. And Jessica is intrigued to discover Simon’s formidable temper masks a kind, noble heart. But when Simon’s true motive for their marriage is revealed, Jessica is devastated by his betrayal. Because, despite her best intentions, she is falling in love with her husband. And love is the last thing either of them wants - though it may be exactly what they need.

loved it

Sweet, Suspensfull, a proper story all around! Wish it was a series!! Congrats to the author!

👍 A great surprise💕

I wasn't expecting such a good story. I thought I was just listening to something that will pass my time . I've always liked this author so I knew I wouldn't be too disappointed if at all. The performance was good enough that I didn't need to wonder what sounds I didn't like. The ending was fitting, all I can say is I will listen to this again in the future.

I wish it would had gone on and on!

What made the experience of listening to Silent Revenge the most enjoyable?

Everything! The story and the narrator were both amazing. I loved the voice by Rosalyn Landor. It was very clear who was speaking and I couldn't help but get swept away with the story. It has a little of everything with love, romance, danger, suspense and in the end... the bad guys get what they deserved!

What other book might you compare Silent Revenge to and why?

I came across Laura Landon when listening to one of my first audio books narrated by Sarah Coomes who is another amazing narrator.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The diction, emotions and being swept away with the story. I choose this book after reading comments made by others of how wonderful Rosalyn Landor is as a narrator. I was not disappointed and look forward to listening to more books narrated by her.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The eyes will see what the ears cannot hear.

Any additional comments?

Make sure you have plenty of hours to listen to this book because you will not want to stop once you start!

Worth the effort!

This book was my first by this author but I found it quite enjoyable. Rosalyn Landor is always exceptional.

Crazy Reader

I really liked this book, I listened to the audio version and the narrator is good. Good read.

Thoroughly Enjoyable!!!

Smiles, suspense, and an array of emotions as I listened to Silent Revenge. I felt like I was watching a movie as I wanted to shout words at my listening device. This book took me away from my day into an adventure similar to beauty and the beast. It was worth every moment. Thank you Rosalyn Landor for such a regal performance.

Enthralling!!!

This was my first book by the author and I wasn't disappointed. From the very beginning the story captures your attention and never lets you go. I had so many emotions flowing I couldn't stop listening!! The narrator brought the story to life and delivered a flawless performance.

A Suspenseful HR

I really enjoyed this audiobook. Rosalyn Landor just knows how to enhance and transform a historical romance. She was golden as the narrator of this one

Lady Jessica Stanton had a secret that would ruin her family if the ton found out and she did everything to maintain the secrecy. But her step brother Colin, the Baron of Tanhill, is threatening to expose her secret because he wants her fortune/dowry. In order to protect herself, Jessica looks for someone who wasn't afraid of Colin and could protect her. She proposed marriage to her Simon Westland, Earl of Northcote who was on the verge of ruination. His father squandered his inheritance and Simon was in desperate need for money.
Jessica figured that her fortune was a good trade for Simon's protection.

But Simon has a bunch of secrets of his own, and what is Colin willing to do to get his hands on Jessica's inheritance? This one was full of suspense and anticipation.

This is my first book by Laura London and she wrote a book that was a little different but still full of the snobbery of the ton and the romance that I have come to appreciate about this regency period. I loved Jessica's inner strength and even though she had a disability, she found a way to overcome it. She is a strong heroine. Simon started off as an angry man, but he was good and it overcame his obsession with revenge. Love does overcome all after all.

Entertaining

Pretty interesting story. He needs money because of his wastrel father and she needs to marry because her step brother wants to put her in an institution to take it all.

The most interesting part, is that the heroine, Jessica, is deaf. I've never seen a romance novel with that element in it. I would actually have loved to have seen a little more of her backstory about this element of her life, I think it would have enriched the threat of the villain as well.

As it is, aside from that, it is a pretty standard story. We need each other, we don't know each other, oh! we love each other.

I liked reading it, the characters were pretty well drawn, the ambiance of the story was well created and I'd be interested in reading more from this author.

Really good audio!

Loved the story and the characters. I enjoyed the book greatly. Ready for Laura's next book.
