When Geoffrey Landon brings a marriage proposal and paid passage to Virginia from Richard Selden, Amelia knows it's meant for her sister, but pretends to be the betrothed. Wanting to escape an upcoming arranged marriage, she lies to Geoffrey and her family and sails to Virginia on the eve of the American Revolution. If war comes, she may be trapped by events, considered an enemy, and forced to return to England. On the voyage, she loses her heart to the charming, cynical Geoffrey, who has his own reasons to distrust her. Amelia dares not tell him the truth - until it is too late.

Overall, this is not a bad book. It is well written and the story is well thought out. However, for my taste, I just wasn't feeling it, so to speak.
Narration
Narrator: Christine Cunningham Smith
Performance: 4/5
Speed 1.5x
Narration was not bad on this one, however I did fluctuate from 1.5 to 2x the normal speed on this recording. Cunningham Smith did a decent job with character distinction and accents, jumping from American English to British English accents.
I just wasn't feeling this one

With that being said, I did listen to this book but it took a lot of concentration. The story itself was interesting and the characters were well developed and engaging. I enjoyed the love story and history of the voyage from England to Burmuda and then to Virginia. The narrator has a pleasant voice and did great for the female voices but had difficulty with the male voices.
Overall, based on my sound quality issue, i would suggest reading this book rather than listening.
Good Story. Bad sound quality.

Where does The Proposal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is my first audiobook.Have you listened to any of Christine Cunningham Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. Ms. Smith used so many voices that made the story come to life. She has a very pleasant voice and the sound quality was excellent.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Romance in Virginia before independence from England.Any additional comments?
This book was very enjoyable. The story and characters were well developed. The love scenes were surprisingly bold for colonial times, or so I would think.Charming and romantic

Even though Christine Cunningham Smith's style of reading was off-putting, she has a pleasant voice and is able to successfully change it for different characters.
I can't improve on the Publisher's Summary, so I won't try...in my opinion their summation is all that is necessary to rouse ones interest...anything more and a person wouldn't need to buy the book.
Cute!
