Regency London

Having spent a childhood summer with Viscount Giles Weston, Angelica Wayne has never forgotten his kindness. But when he employs her as his daughter's governess, she finds him cold and formidable.

A widower, Giles is engaged to the beautiful but indifferent Lady Barbara Darlington. Darkly cynical, he avoids emotional commitment and wishes to be married in name only.

Despite Giles's attitude, Angelica comes to enjoy his company, and her feelings for him start to rekindle.

When Barbara calls off the engagement, Giles asks Angelica to take her place as his bride.

And Angelica must decide whether she can marry a man seemingly incapable of returning her affection . . .

What is the reason for Giles's haughtiness? Can Angelica thaw his frosty exterior? Or are both condemned to a life without love?

Satisfying and well written

The substitute bride is a romantic but rather frustrating story about a young woman who goes to work for a man she has loved since she was a young girl.
although she is at first, a good strong character, who is likable, confident, and wise. There are far too many uninteresting plot shifts, misunderstandings“ and hurt feelings; and the stories heroin becomes rather annoying.
The narrator is much better in this book than in the last Dorothy Mack book I read. Her “male” voice is not great, but she read this story with good emotion and feeling. All in all, there are better Dorothy Mack books than this; including ‘The lost Heir’ and my favorite the ‘Gangsters Daughter.’

A Romantic but Annoying Story

Mostly one sided thoughts. I appreciate getting both sides of internal dialogue. Could have definitely used his perspective.

Good story but narrator almost killed it for me. It took me 3 times to actually start it and keep listening.

I found this story boring and the narration as well. It was too slow moving, not enough romance.
