Submitting to the Marquis: A BDSM Erotic Regency Romance

Scandalous Ballroom Encounters, Book 4

By: Victoria Vale

Narrated by: Simon Philips

Lady Sophie Baxter must wed a wealthy lord by the end of the season, or risk the ruin of her family. However, her father does not have just any lord in mind. He's set his sights on Simon Fitzwilliam, Marquis of Ashton - a man known amongst the ton for being as cold and aloof as he is rich and powerful. While his frigid gaze and reserved demeanor prove intimidating, Sophie cannot help but wonder if there isn't more to the marquis than meets the eye.

Curiosity leads her to accept the marquis' suit, and before long she learns that Simon's secrets are far darker than she could have ever imagined. Darkest of all being the hidden chamber behind a locked door, filled with ropes, restraints, and implements of torture...a chamber her husband has specified she is never to enter.

Yet, Sophie soon discovers that what appear to be instruments of torment are capable of unlocking the most exquisite pleasure. Convincing him to teach her the ways of submitting to his dominance will be easy. Uncovering the secrets of his heart and soul will be one of the hardest things Sophie has ever done.

What's wrong with Simon Phillips?

Appealing characters, intriguing story but narration is almost robotic - hard to keep listening.

Submitting to the Marquis and narrator review

I actually love this story, very well written, and HOT! At first, I didn't care for the narrator because his voice sounds kind of electronic. But he does such a great job with the characters' voices that I wouldn't want anyone else. If he could just work on improving the narrative sections a little bit, he will be perfect!

William Shatner called and wants his voice back

The narrator sounds like William Shatner with a British accent. He has no inflection in his voice, all the characters voices sound the same even the girls. His speech is choppy and halting.

Decent story, Terrible narration.

The narrator for this was terrible. No emotion or inflection at all and a pause between every single sentence. It felt like a listening to a robot. If you are interested in this, read it, don't listen.

I loved this!

Loved it! The details, the characters, the storyline, the way they fall in love. Couldn't stop listening! Emotional and beautiful!
I liked the English accented narrators voice.
