Narrado por: Rachael Beresford

The dashing Viscount proposes a marriage in name only...in New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Sabrina Jeffries's sexy historical romance

Abigail Mercer was thrilled at being reunited with Spencer Law, whom she met once and later married by proxy. But now Viscount Ravenswood denies all knowledge of their union! Too many witnesses have made it impossible for the secretive Spencer to reject his bride without causing a scandal. So he has proposed a marriage in name only until they can locate his mysteriously absent younger brother - who is responsible for everything! - and untangle this messy affair.

Abigail is incensed, irate...and irresistibly attracted to this handsome, infuriating man who hides his smoldering passion behind a proper exterior. So the lady will agree to his terms on one condition: Spencer must seal their bargain with a kiss. But he finds that one deep, lingering, unforgettable kiss isn't nearly enough. And keeping his hands off his pretty wife is going to be much harder than he thought.

Well written, BUT...

Hero was far too abusive for more than 80% of the book in super cruel ways for this to be a good story with a truly believable HEA for me. He wasn't made to pay enough, to feel the same or worse humiliation than what he perpetrated so despicable against her. And his trust/character change, while welcome with insight, didn't have enough buildup to make it feel morecreal than all of the other manipulations.

Loved it!!!

Wonderful! Loved it! A great read on a rainy winter day. Fell in love with characters.

Good story

I liked the story. Fun listen. I liked the reader but did not like the accent she gave to Abby.

Kept my interest

A good story for a rainy day. The h/h had just enough chemistry and steam. Too much ch spent on the brother but then he was the reason they were married. Narrator was superb as usual.

Just, Groan…And Gentle Spoiler Warning

Soooo many groans.

First groan is the gross Southern Belle “American” accent for an 1820s Philadelphian. It’s almost unbearable.

Second groan is what a moron and a wanker the supposedly romantic lead is. There’s nothing appealing about him.

I’m only in the middle of the book as I write this review, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick around for what happens next; there’s some simplistic foreshadowing of fertility issues and I just don’t know if I care enough to stick around to see how that plays out.
