The Windsors

By: Catharina Maura

Narrated by: John Lane, Angelina Rocca

Length: 11 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

Duet narration by John Lane and Angelina Rocca.

Faye is the last woman Dion Windsor wants to be near, let alone marry, yet there’s no escaping the alluring pianist he’s been engaged to since they were children.

For years, he made his unwillingness known, but his attempts to keep Faye at a distance fade to dust at the sight of her with another man—mere months before their wedding.

One look at her, and he realizes he’s done running. Time is up, and whether she likes it or not, she’s his.

Or she could be, if the secrets he keeps didn’t hold the power to destroy her.

Publisher's note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be listened to as a stand-alone. The Unwanted Marriage contains a guaranteed happily ever after and no cheating.

i love it

it was a great story!! 10/10 definitely recommend reading. i will say you have to stick through it for a little while but it is well worth the wait i started and finished this book in 2 days absolutely loved it. i wish i could go back and read it for the first time all over again

Good but…

Why have all the women in this series so far done extremely dumb stuff? It’s hard to sympathize with them when this happens. Other than this. It’s been a pretty good series. The men for the most part have been wonderful narrators did a great job with characters.

It was ok…good storyline and a must read to complete series

The storyline and the romance (spicy scenes) were great! I did not like the narrators. I could deal with male narrator more so than the female narrator. It’s like she had no personality and she talked so slow. I think it’s important to read/listen to because ties to the other books in the series and it leads you into the next book in series. But I did struggle especially in the beginning to finish.

AWESOME LOVE STORY!!

AWESOME DION AND FAYE'S STORIE IS MY FAVORITE SO FAR!!
AUDIBLE EDITION!!

Faye is being mentally and physically abused by her father. But from birth she has been contracted to marry Dion Windsor. Faye is afraid of Dion at first because he has neglected her over the years. They both don't want this marriage. The marriage was arranged by their deceased mothers.

I didn't understand the negative reviews, about Dion. Dion did everything he could to ease Faye's fears. He was domineering yes, But that's what most Alpha Male are like in these types of Genres. He did everything to protect, shields and make Faye feel like he cared for her and that she was independent and secure. He was always there for her. Dion constantly tells her how much he cares and respects her and eventually he tells her how much he loves her. The only thing I didn't like was him calling her good girl. Yeah, there was a 10-year age gap, but good girl was a bit off.

Faye realizes that not only her father was using and abusing her but her stepmother and her two half sisters too were using her as means to their ends. Dion handled all of them when he found out how Faye was being abused. Dion went Mafia on that despicable father!!

I loved how the couple worked together to overcome all obstacles in their marriage. They stayed together and worked together and in the end they got there HEA!!

Great Story and Great Narration. Defiantly a re read!!

I LOVE this story.

I read this book when it came out. And loved it. Had to listen to it on audio, especially when I saw it was a duet narration.

At first I wasn’t feint the male narrator. But as I listened, I started to feel he was Dion. He did a good job.
I love the female narrators voice. I think she embodied Faye wonderfully.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did like this book, but I do get the reviews about the male narrator. IMO, he did a good job as Faye father - he brought that character to life. But as Dion, he seems more of the dangerous brother, I wanted something in between lucca and Ares.

Cinderella

This is a new take on the fairytale, even the female character name means fairy. Wasn't crazy about the male narrator. Can't wait for the next story.

Love the Windsor family!

I gave the story a solid 4 ⭐️
I almost didn’t buy the audiobook because of John Lane, his voice is more fitting for older characters but the duet narration saves the day!
This is the 3rd book in the series and I’m absolutely addicted them.
Thank you Catharina for another great story, can’t wait for the next ❤️

Arranged marriage, so good!

The Unwanted Marriage is the 3rd book in Catharina Maura’s Windsors series following the Windsor family and I’ve been having a good time with this series! This one is age gap (he’s 10 years older) and arranged marriage!

Arranged marriages are just a tradition for the Window family, their grandmother has always set the marriages for the family. At the beginning of the story Dion Windsor finds out his wedding date is set in six months. While he’s known about his future arranged marriage for over a decade, he still hasn’t ever felt ready to marry Faye. But when he sees someone her with someone else, he finally pays attention to her. Faye is a concert pianist and 10 years younger than Dion. Her entire life has been molded to make her the perfect partner to Dion. Her home life is horrible and her father abusive, so she is looking at her future marriage as the escape she desperately needs.

“This feeling could never be described as mere love. It’s so much more than that. She is my salvation, my purpose. She is everything I didn’t think I wanted, and everything I denied I ever needed.”

And omg this was so good and my fav in the series so far! I loved how Dion falls first and is allllll in once he starts paying attention/realizing his marriage to Faye is happening. Their mothers were best friends and both died in the same plane crash. Dion definitely has ghosts from his past and feels responsible for his beloved mother’s death. I just loved these two together, their chemistry and how protective and caring he is…so good!

CW: abusive parent, toxic family

Amazing book and narration!

This book is so amazing to listen to. Perfectly written, spice was spot on, and the narrators did an excellent job!
