Publisher's summary

“Kleypas is a romance gem, a queen among a vast royal court of historical romance authors.” (Entertainment Weekly)

A classic Lisa Kleypas love story in which a marriage in name only becomes something more....

The toast of the town....

All London is at Julia Wentworth's feet - and anything she desires is hers for the asking. But the glamorous leading lady guards a shocking secret: a mystery husband whom she does not know, dares not mention...and cannot love.

For years Damon Savage has been searching for the stranger his parents wed him to without his consent, hoping to legally free himself from matrimony's invisible chains. And he is astonished to discover his "bride" is none other than the exquisite lady he'd hoped to make his mistress! But though his wife by law, Julia will never truly be Damon's - until he conquers her fears, his formidable rivals...and her proud, passionate, and independent heart.

Lisa Kleypas takes us into the Regency world of theatre

In each of her novels. Lisa Kleypas brings her characters into different worlds- sometimes that of the growing merchandise setting of a department store, or that of the Bow Street runners, or that of the first female physician in London. Here the life of the actress who wants both a professional career and love, marriage and a family provides a fascinating backdrop for one of her typical romantic tales. She is a master of character and plot and a joy to read. The performance by the reader is, as usual, excellent and convincing.

A match perfectly made from birth

Little did they know they were fatefully made for each other! I enjoyed the banter, the independence, the passionate resistance and beautiful natural submission in the end .. a beautiful story ❤️

Love the Capital Theater series

The combination of Kleypas's writing style and Rosalyn's narration is always perfection. Rosalyn has the most versatile range of female and male voices, I don't have to ever struggle past the narrators poor perf to get into the story whenever its Rosalyn telling it. 😊

Audible doesn’t have the 2nd book!!

Audible doesn’t have the second book to this series. I loved the story!! You cant help to fall in love with the characters.

Disappointing

I am huge Lisa Kleypas reader but this had great promise but Julia got whiny and wishy washy at end…I nearly stopped listening.

The worst of Kleypas i’ve listened at the moment

Although I like a lot of Kleypas books, especially narrated by Landor - this one was not satisfactory at all. The story outset was promising, but then the plot became somewhat trivial, partly outrageous (the “I happen to like be abducted “ scene) and rather predictable. Landor sounded really dull and monotonous and was not like her usual self. I think is was because the language was rather poor, cliched and repetitive. And there was no usual Kleypas’s sense of humour or irony at all. Maybe because it was written long ahead of my favourite Wallflowers, Hathaways and Ravenels series. Some themes, developed in the book, like choices between freedom, self-realisation and love, were nice. But the overall impression is still that the book did not meet my expectations.

Great story

Loved this book! Rosalyn is my favorite narrator. She makes you feel like you’re watching it instead of just listening.

Loved it as ALWAYS she weaves a great story!

Loved the theatre involvement and the quandary it is to choose love over your dream job. Much like I think Grace Kelley faced. Author and narrator are always fantastic. You will really love this performance!

Shallow

Basically a notch up from a Harlequin novel. Narrator excellent but story was shallow. Very little character development or storyline. Predictable. From a literary standpoint it had more merit than a Harlequin novel but where the rubber meets the road, that's essentially all it is. If you like romance without any intrigue, plot, twists, turns, or surprises, you'll like this. Sex scenes were fine, not too much, more palatable than hard core, but the sex scenes seemed to be the highlights. I prefer a story with more meat to it so won't look for any more by this author, sorry.

Nail biting

This book is great! I had to listen to it almost from start to finish without stopping. If there’s a book 2 then I’ll find it.
