Married in Haste

De: Cathy Maxwell

Narrado por: Virginia Leishman

Brenn Owen, the new but impoverished Earl of Merton, is looking for a bride - one rich enough to finance his estate. When he meets Tess Hamlin, he sees a woman who is not only wealthy, but a dazzling beauty as well. To his surprise, Tess quickly accepts his proposal. But behind her eagerness lurks a secret she will do anything to hide from him. As the Earl and his bride begin their life together, their path is a passionate one, but far from smooth: haste must give way to patience and understanding. Virginia Leishman's narration heightens the drama of each colorful exchange between the lovers.

Millions of fans agree with Romantic Times when it praises Cathy Maxwell for being an author "who understands the human heart and whose stories touch our souls". Her novels are filled with dashing, daring characters, yet their desires are universal.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Maxwell...makes good use of her trademark clean, crisp prose style, weaving a reverse gift-of-the-magi tale set in the Black Mountains of Wales and starring two engaging and lusty protagonists." (Publishers Weekly)

Lovely story great narration

Excellent writing with wonderful characters and interesting story. The narrator is also very good and enhances the experience

Fun love story!

This is a very fun love story starter out of dark secrets & deceit. Then blossoms into a true love story after facing the truth to one another & working hard to make their dreams come true.

Nice reliable historical romance.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

An enjoyable evening spent listening to the book, nice narrator. I won't say it is the most memorable, but light and breezy.

Happy ending

I hated Tess’s attitude but towards the end she came around. I love happy endings and some future details. Well done!

One of the better romances & has a storyline

This is one of the more intelligent romances that I've listened to lately - a novel with a story that can stand on its own if the sexy bits are removed, Very pleasant story and nicely read. The intro worried me as it was read with an American accent, but the actual story was read with an English accent, so I was relieved. I also enjoyed the setting and Welsh characters.

Love the ending

Excellent story with two secrets that are cleverly hidden.
Fairy tale ending… literally.
A bit drawn out and silly at the beginning but gets better if you hang in there
A reverse rags to riches story

Mouth Noises

I really wanted to finish this book as the story almost immediately caught my interest. Unfortunately I could not get past the Mouth Noises made by the Narrator. Besides the awful sounds, she has a lovely voice. I would have enjoyed this book otherwise.

Remarkable Storyline

I absolutely love this author and the narrators. So many of the romances border on the erotica, so this was like a breath of fresh air. The love story is

one of the better romances

I enjoyed this book as it had both a decent storyline and an excellent reader when compared to other romances.

Bad narrator

I listened to all of Ann's story, and didn't care for the fact the narrator was either eating candy, chewing gum or taking a drink of water the entire book. Some of that could have been cut with better editing. I realized into Chapter 2 of Tess's story that I can't do two more books like this. I'll read the actual book myself.
