A Proper Facade

Proper Scandals, Book 4

By: Esther Hatch

Narrated by: Noah Wall

Mercy Rothschild has always been granted an unusually long tether by her parents, who have never pushed her to marry until she’s ready. She assumes that when the right man comes along, she will marry for love. However, even her long-suffering parents have their limits. As she embarks on her third Season, they begin to pressure her to find a match. And the Duke of Harrington is the perfect candidate.

Nicholas Kendrick, Duke of Harrington, follows the rules of the ton meticulously. When he determines that Mercy is the ideal candidate for a wife, he marches dutifully toward her along the courtship path. Desperate to extricate herself from Harrington’s advances, Mercy concludes that there is only one course of action: she must push her intended into the arms of another woman. But when Mercy becomes acquainted with the man behind the proper facade, her plans come crashing down as she realizes that stiff and proper Harrington might be the very man she’s been waiting for. If only she hadn’t been so successful in her plot to thwart her chances with him.

Clean romance

This is an entertaining series. I always have a little trouble book to book remembering who is who. I don’t pay enough attention but it doesn’t matter. The story of the main characters is still enjoyable. Very clean romance novel.

A must hear

This book is a slow burn in the very best way. meaning the characters were well developed and the story blossomed beautifully. A clean romance is the best way to hear a love grow this book is a great example of that. Happy listening!!

Engaging characters

I loved the perspective from different characters. So many books are only 1-2 dimensional. The narrator had the perfect amount of emotion at the right time so you felt like you were immersed in the story.

Might be my favorite in the series

I have throughly enjoyed this series and have tried to be patient waiting for this book. Well, it was so worth the wait. Esther has become one of my very favorite authors. She has a great way of making you believe these characters are real people and she is just letting us all see a glimpse into their lives. This book has everything. My husband even loved it! Totally recommend.

Charming get away.

The sweetness and naivety is a way to escape our present world with integrity and hope.
