Mrs. Merritt's Remorse

Lord Dere's Dependents, Book 2

De: Christina Dudley

Narrado por: Sarah Edwards

She’s determined to learn from her mistakes. He’s determined to marry a girl who’s never made any. What if love has lessons for them both?

Jane Merritt’s impulsive first marriage was a thoroughgoing disaster, so much so that she vowed she would never marry again. But when a young man in every respect the opposite of her first husband appears, she discovers her heart has a will of its own.

Philip Egerton has always known the plan for his life: take his Oxford degree, win a fellowship, and serve a curacy until he comes into the living promised by his uncle, at which time he will marry his uncle’s angelic ward. Certainly a woman such as the widowed Mrs. Merritt, with her spotty past, has no place in his vision. So why does she constantly obtrude upon it?

But an unreformed rake’s attentions to Jane might be just the right arrow in Cupid’s quiver to bring this match about…

Mrs. Merritt’s Remorse is a clean and wholesome traditional Regency romance, second in the Lord Dere’s Dependents series. Each book can be listened to as a standalone or in order.

Nice story, if not a little thin on content

The Barstows and the Baron are wonderful people. This story revolves around the reputation of one person. It was interesting at first, but by chapter twenty I wearied at the negative, repetitive, theme. The side stories and some of the side characters are enjoyable, and worth listening to the book.
