Resumen del Editor

Miss Emma Pearson lives the most remarkable life for the daughter of a constable. Because of her brother’s heroics in Scotland, she has astonishingly become the ward of the Marquess of Downshire. Now, she wears only the finest clothes and mingles with members of high Society. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned when a series of accidents causes her Season to be ruined before it has even begun.

Simeon Martin, the Viscount of Wentworth, despises most people. He is content working alone as a Bow Street Runner despite his sizeable fortune, finding solace in tracking down criminals. But all that changes when Lord Downshire hires him to protect his ward from a jilted suitor. Everything about the situation urges him to refuse, but his sense of curiosity is piqued, and his sense of honor compels him to help her, forcing him to deal with the one thing that he truly hates: a spoiled debutante.

With danger lurking around every corner, Emma and Simeon must learn to trust each other when they are both swept up in the rising Anti-Corn Law movement. Despite their frustration with each other, they both reluctantly discover that working together isn’t as unbearable as they had previously thought. And as their budding friendship turns into something more, can they trust each other with their hearts?

Unfortunate Debutant

I did not mind the virtual voice except for the persistent mispronunciation of bow like the bow of a ship.

Oddly this was not all the time. Also the word modiste, as in dress maker , was mispronounce as if were modest . This was only a few times but did no one listen to how often bow was wrong? I found myself shouting at that, But I liked the story so I kept listening.

Final in series is pleasant, but not as engaging as the others

I liked it. The others in the series had more action. The relationship of the main characters develops exactly the same as the other books, but because most of the characters' backstory was already presented in previous books, this book didn't hit in quite the same way. It was fine. But of the series, this one is probably my least favorite, but I don't regret trying it out. Make sure to speed up the Virtual Voice a bit. I find 1.1x makes it more tolerable.
