Resumen del Editor

Juliet Graham fervently counts the days until her 21st birthday, when she can claim the inheritance that will grant her the freedom she has always craved and the guardianship of her younger brother. Until then, she is trapped under her aunt Agnes’s domineering will.

When forced to accompany the family to a house party at Shaldorn Castle, Juliet’s only objective is to keep to herself. That is, until a chance encounter with a boorish stranger stirs up an unexpected whirlwind of emotions in her. Thrown off-balance, Juliet does the unthinkable: loses her temper and insults the man - who turns out to be her unwilling host, the Duke of Halstead. Fully expecting to be sent away, Juliet is surprised when the brusque and callous duke instead takes an interest in her.

Drawn to the duke in unguarded moments, Juliet finds herself more and more intrigued by the man who shuns Society’s rules as completely as she does, and over the next few weeks, their unlikely friendship deepens into a connection neither expected.

But even as Juliet comes to recognize her true feelings, her scheming aunt issues an ultimatum that threatens the future she was just beginning to hope for. Juliet must choose: either break the promise she made to herself years ago, or lose the man who has captured her heart and soul.

Good book, needs a better narrator

I almost gave up on this book because of the narration. I’m glad I didn’t because the story was good overall. While this narrator is a lot better than the other two Covenant uses, the need to do every laugh was not needed and the burping! Yes, there was burping. SO not necessary! Audio books are meant to be read (with feeling and voices), not acted out.

Narrator is annoying

Whomever chooses the narrator for these books, please, please do not use Louise again. I’m sorry, but the laughing and sighs are incredibly annoying and the voice is not pleasing for listening. The actual story is very good, but the narrator ruins it.

Good story, horrible story teller

I am enjoying the story, however the voice of the woman doing the audio is barely tolerable. At one point she starts singing and it made me rip off my earbuds in disgust. I know the voice she’s using is supposed to match the regency period of the story, but it’s not great.

Loved the story!

Great story but I wish I had read it instead. The performer was a bit obnoxious.

Good story but terrible reader

PLEASE re do this book with a different reader! The story was interesting but hearing it like this was excruciating.

Interesting & Clean Romance

I don’t think a girl of her status would have been as bold as she was, nor do I think there would have been the free communication that was used between the main couple, but it was an interesting read all the same. Didn’t love the narration, but it was tolerable. Despite my comments, I did enjoy the book.

Excellent story, distracting narration...

Heidi Kimball is one of my favorite authors. She weaves an intricately beautiful story that pulled me in right from the start.

The narration (and editing) did no favors to the story. I was so immensely distracted by the timbre of Louise’s voice and accent choice that I had to really focus on the story and characters. Her voice would have been better suited to a heroine of 14 or 15 rather than 20! I couldn’t enjoy listening to this book like I can with others. The editing was also poorly done on the audiobook itself not the novel. I will be avoiding books narrated by Louise in the future.

Would have been OKAY..but the narrator isn' great.

The story itself is okay.. I felt like the main characters didn't have enough time to develop the relationship that was portrayed...just all of a sudden BAM they are in love. It was a little unbelievable.

The narrator though...I don't know if it was the way they asked her to narrate this book, or if it was just a choice haha...but I didn't like the laughing...the crying...THE SINGING...and especially the burping. If it says it's happening just read it... hearing everything acted out was extremely distracting..returned because I won't listen to it again..it was that bad

sweet, clean and entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this sweet, clean and entertaining story. the characters were wonderful and I loved the accents.

Good story, no to the narrator

It was hard to finish as i found the narration poor and grating. The narration would have been much better if they had not attempted sound effects, and fake crying. The story was good.
