Portia and the Merchant of London

By: Kathleen Buckley

Narrated by: Fiona Honan-Bowes

After her father's stroke, Portia Gillespie finds they have just enough money to live on, so where is her brother's school tuition to come from? She and Mama have no idea until a moneylender comes to call. In spite of the prior debt, he is willing to lend this year's tuition. The only alternative to accepting the loan is to apprentice Benedict to one of the less expensive trades. Papa would be horrified.

Solomon de Toledo has fulfilled none of his family's expectations. He is neither a rabbi nor a physician, nor even a respectable importer or banker. Still, as a moneylender, he is able to aid Portia, whose character he admires as much as he respects her father's scholarship.

But when her father recovers and arranges Portia's betrothal, how will Solomon save her from her ruthless suitor?

Very Enjoyable

Well-written, interesting, and engaging clean romance. Previously I read the print version, which I liked so much that I bought the audiobook, then waited a while to listen to it, and enjoyed it again even more. Now I have Kindle print versions of all the author's historical romances, and also own copies of all of those audiobooks which are now out. The author's two most recent print books aren't yet available as audiobooks, but I plan to buy audiobook copies when the possiblity exists. Kathleen Buckley has now become one of my favorite authors.
