Resumen del Editor

Following the death of their father, Beth's brother, Richard, returns from the army to claim his share of the family estate. However, Beth's hopes of a quiet life are dashed when Richard, dissatisfied with his meager inheritance and desperate for promotion, decides to force her into a marriage for his military gain. He will stop at nothing to get his way.

Beth is coerced into a reconciliation with her noble cousins in order to marry well and escape her brutal brother. She is then thrown into the glittering social whirl of Georgian high society and struggles to conform. The effeminate but witty socialite Sir Anthony Peters offers to ease her passage into society, and she is soon besieged by suitors eager to get their hands on her considerable dowry.

Beth, however, wants love and passion for herself and to break free from the artificial life she is growing to hate. She finds herself plunged into a world where nothing is as it seems and everyone hides behind a mask.

Can she trust the people professing to care for her?

IN LOVE!! I WANT MORE!!😍😍😍

I was ONLY disappointed at the end. I want more of the story and wish the whole series was all here to listen to.

1-4 amazing 5and 6 read below

Loved these books! But listener beware: books 1-4 are narrated by the same person. Books 5 and 6 have a different female voice. Loved the first 4 books and the team of narrators. They worked really well together. The lady in books 5 and 6 sounds like she is reading a vampire novel. I may have to buy the hard copy of the books to get through the last two. The author is really good. My review is mainly of the last two books.

Enjoyed

I liked this book it is very well written and even better narration . I enjoy the dual narration. I wish all historical novels were read like this. Well worth the read or listen.

Very good but a little too long

I really liked the story line even though Beth drove me nuts and I wanted to shake her for being so rude to the one man trying to help her the most. I feel it was a little long and found myself thinking of other things while listening. I’d mostly focus back in with Will M watt’s voice. I actually found this series by looking for another book narrated by Mr Watt who is becoming one of my favorites. His performances are incredible with his ability to perfect different accents and have drawn me in like a moth to a flame. Ok so yeah I have a crush and actually get excited when I find another good book he’s narrated.

Outstanding!

The story is excellent and the narration so well done. The different voices that Will Watt does are so great! Hilarious at times. Amazing talent!

Give me the sequel NOW!

Delicious, the performance was fabulous and story spellbinding. I have enjoyed a book like this in a while.

Brilliant!

This is by far one of the best audiobooks I have listened to :) for me personally it all depends on the narrator, if it doesn't work for me I will either try to find a different version or leave it all together, no need for that here though, both narrators are absolulety magnificent :) Not only did they have me at the historical background note, they kept me enthralled through out the entire time I was listening to it. As the story unfolded, I immersed myself in that fascinating world enjoying the descriptive language, the odd word I am not particularly familiar with, the different tones set by the characters and found myself chuckling everytime something was extraordinarily intriguing or funny. I knew that it would be well written, but it was still beyond anything I could have imagined when I thought it was time to check out this series :) and with a bullet proof story that excuse my language kicks ass - paired with the most wonderful narrators, that's what makes for the best entertainment you can imagine. It doesn't hurt, either, that there are a few saucy bits here and there, pleasantly described by the narrators.. but maybe that's just me. I enjoyed every minute of this audiobook, the story and the performance are magnificent... absolutely brilliant! consider me a fan... :D

Dead end

I thought the story was engaging, but it ended prematurely in my opinion. It feels like there should be a sequel. I haven't located it, however. The use of two narrators was jarring, but it didn't bother me the farther along the story went. The ending was the most problematic aspect.

Can’t wait to start the next book!

I loved this book! Great story and one of the best narrations I’ve ever heard in an audio book. I am going to buy the next book in the series NOW!

Loved it

Great I loved the story and can’t wait to hear more mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Mmm
