Publisher's summary

He was her target. She was his diversion. Falling in love was never something they wanted.

As a con woman who has spent her entire life fending for herself on the streets of London, Rose Wakefield knows how to scam a gentleman out of his money without ever getting caught. That's until she knocks on the wrong earl's door and is faced with Carver Ashburn Earl of Kensworth and not the notorious rake she thinks she is approaching.

Carver is a good man, but even a good man will not pass up an opportunity to escape his grief. What better way to avoid his feelings than to play into a con woman's ruse and offer to marry her?

Things only grow more complicated when Carver sweeps Rose off to his family estate and circumstances force them both into continuing the ruse. Carver needs to protect his family, and Rose needs to protect herself - and her heart.

With so much set against them, will Rose and Carver have a chance at love and freedom? Or is the possibility of more heartache not worth the risk?

So cute!!

A mix between downtown abbey and bridgerton! The performance is great, but very slow for some reason. Not written as well as Jane Austen to make it a true classic, but an exceptional story

Too farfetched

It is a romance, so there is most likely a happy ending coming. The characters are likeable and good- hearted, even though one is a deceptive thief. The narrator is good, too, But the story is very pat and too unrealistic for the era in which it is set.

Not an everyday love story

I liked this audio book because it was interesting and not the typical love story.

Speed up reading for best experience

Sarah Adams is a new favorite. Every book is great. This was no different. The only tip is to speed up the narration. The reading is super slow. I sped up to 1.1 and maybe could’ve gone to 1.2.

Enjoyable Story

This is an interesting story. It does not contain any (not one) explicit sex scene. However, it is an interesting love story worthy of a listen, especially when needing a break from the storylines with too many explicit sexual scenes. The narrator's voice sets just the right tone for this story. Recommend.

Unexpected, funny, and clean!

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The humor in it caught my attention right away. I was laughing out loud throughout the book. There are serious topics but also a sweet kind of humor. I highly recommend this book. I will be searching out more books from this author. The narration was good, but slow. I had to speed it up to 1.4 to be able to enjoy it.
