Love in the Bargain

Women of Worth, Book 1

By: Kasey Stockton

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

A vow to remain unwed and a bargain designed to find her a husband. What could possibly go wrong?

Elsie and her two best friends made a childhood vow to never marry.

But when Elsie begins her first season in London, her mother presents her with an irresistible bargain: if she says yes to each and every man's invitations and still remains unattached by the end of the season, she will receive her inheritance and become a free woman.

She is thrown into the spotlight by increasing attention in the newspaper gossip articles, and keeping her end of the bargain seems impossible - especially when her best friend's tyrant of a brother, Lord Cameron, begins to make advances that Elsie literally cannot refuse.

The gossip grows increasingly malicious, leaving destroyed reputations and broken homes in its wake, and Elsie can't seem to escape its focus. But it's her own blossoming feelings for Lord Cameron that pose the greater threat. If she can't keep him out of her heart, she's sure to compromise the bargain, break her vow, and lose her one shot at freedom for good.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I loved the story line and seeing strong women grapple with love and place in society. I enjoyed the reader’s voice.

Great story

This author wrote a great story. It kept me very interested. The narrator was difficult to listen to

Lovely plot

I enjoyed this book. The plot and characters were genuine and worthwhile. I have enjoyed all books I’ve read/listened to by Kasey Stockton.

Great Story

At first, I didn't enjoy the narrator. This caused me to stop listening for a couple of months. Recently, I gave it a second try and the narrator grew on me. I ended up really enjoying both the narration and the story. This story had unique elements of mystery that I found quite intriguing and the romance was very enjoyable.

Gossip

Love it. Never say never! Love comes at unexpected time even when when we try to stop it. But listen to the others reason clears the way for love.
