Resumen del Editor

Mina's well-ordered life is thrown into disarray when her father drops a bombshell on his deathbed: She has a brother she never knew of. Not only that, he is on his way to rescue her from the collapse of their school under a mountain of debts.

A wild journey across country later, Mina finds herself thrown at the feet of the brutish William Nye, prize-fighter and owner of a disreputable inn, The Merry Harlot. Respectable Mina is appalled to find herself obliged to wed this surly stranger!

Forced to draw on reserves of inner strength she never knew she possessed, Mina uncovers perilous secrets and bravely carves herself a new life at the side of this man, as she proves herself a more than worthy partner for the prize-fighter.

Contains mature themes.

3.5 historical 🌟

The story is good. It has intrigue, romance, and a little humor. There is spice, but it's not a lot. I struggled with the narrator at first, but I got used to her. I enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed this one! This is the second book I’ve listened to from this author and she did not disappoint! The Nate as very good from beginning to end. I’ll look forward to more from this author

Uplifting

I found this story a very good listening. It is a very feel good book. It will leave the audience with a smile.

You don’t have to wait long to get an inkling of how their relationship will go.

I enjoyed the charachters and their development - also uber glad for the lack of leaning on the ‘miscommunication’ trope.

Another great Coldbreath

Coldbreath has a way of writing pragmatic, honest heroines that are still wildly interesting. Her heroes tend toward the grumpy, possessive type. They are all different, though and I love that about her books. They have similar elements but are distinctly different. This book has the couple at loggerheads more than some of her books. A couple of times it got old for me, but it is reigned in before it gets too bad. And, honestly, the couple seems to enjoy it. A lot.

I’m a new fan!

Thank you for making this novel apart of the member library. I now wanna listen to the series 😊👍

This Series Looks Promising

This is my first from Alice Coldbreath but it will most definitely NOT be my last. I truly like her writing style. This story is very enjoyable and has a bit of everything. Carmen Rose did it justice.

Loved it!!!

I enjoyed the main character Minerva and her strength of self to keep herself useful and improve her life and those around her. I am sooo happy the relationship grew with her brother and although it was a rock start her story bloomed and everyone else’s with it. The ending was very exciting and then happy. Loved it all!!!

One of my new favorites!

I love historical romances but I get tired of the same heroes and heroines, all aristocratic and wealthy. It is such a refreshing change to read a truly compelling romance involving characters from a different walk of life. Nye treads the line of unlikability with his jealous tirades and temper but Mina is more than a match for him and you feel like they are real people who against all odds ended up with someone perfect for them. Great read!

Very enjoyable

I loved Mina. Will came off in the beginning as a extremely unlikable man. But as the book progressed I changed my opinion. The other characters added depth to the story.
