Publisher's summary

Desperately seeking a husband....

Suzette is not like other heiresses; she wants a poor husband, a gentleman who will be so grateful for her dowry that he will allow her access to it so that she can pay off her father's gambling debts. When this alluring beauty encounters Daniel Woodrow - handsome, titled, single, and even more impoverished than she could have hoped for - it seems Suzette's wildest dreams have come true.

But Daniel has not been truthful. Tired of being accosted by an endless stream of vapid coquettes and their fortune-hunting mothers, Daniel has decided to plead poverty to stop them in their tracks. Yet here is a most refreshing and delectable lady, who claims to be thrilled by his penury. Now all Daniel has to do to find true happiness is to keep a little white lie alive... while avoiding a villain who's determined to prevent this union by any means necessary.

Boring

This book was quite boring for the first 4 hours as it was exactly like the first book, almost word for word except for the few parts when Daniel and Suzette were alone because it was from their POV. But in the last 3 hours the plot was good. But I don't think it's worth a credit if one will be listening to the 3rd book as I'm sure all will be explained in that about what happened at the end of this book.

As for the narrator she wasn't very good as the men all sounded like, either females or young boys. At times I couldn't tell who was talking, whether it was a man or a woman.
Also, I said this in my review of the first book, I can't understand why both narrators pronounced the word dowry, dower, its quite annoying as it is used quite a few times.

Now on to the 3rd book the hunt for Lisa's husband.

Too much from the first book.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Over half the book was what went on the the first book of the series, I really got bored. I doubt I'll purchase the third.

FUNNY SENSUAL SUSPENCEFUL!!

EXCELLENT AUDIBLE ADITIONS!! The story was really good it starts out with Laugh Out Loud moments moves into a very sensual romantic story and then at the end its on the edge suspense with a HEA ending. I enjoyed listening to Faye Adelle the narrator. She is very good.

I gave it 4 stars because the beginning was a bit confusing. Then I read some reviews and saw there was a story before this one in the series.

Still a good series!

I thought Faye Adelle's performance was good but after hearing and loving the characters voices in the first book it was hard to like the new ones. I wish they would have stuck with the same narrator.

Just as funny as the first! I love when a series takes you back to a situation and gives you the other character's perspectives.

This is a good book but....

If you have read The Countess by Lynsay Sands don't waste a credit for this book. It is just about the same book except this is the sisters view of the same story. It was a good story, but again I felt like I had wasted a credit. If you have not read The Countess then I would recommend this book. I did read both and I must say I liked The Countess the best out of the two books.

FUUNNYYYYY!!

I did not want to stop listening. Could not wait to see what would happen next.

Not so good

The whole first half of the book was just the last book in a different point of view. I assumed we'd be following different characters where the last book ended. I was pretty disappointed. The book got good when it picked up to a part that wasn't rehashed. I bought the 3 books for 2 credits so I'm really hoping the third is better.

The Heiress

This was mostly a recap of the first book from another angle. I kept listening because I knew it had to get to something new.

make sure you read in order

it not as funny as the 1st book but it was still a delite

Funny but

I didn't realize it was the other side of The Countess. I was hoping for more Suzette and less other side of The Countess. The performance was excellent but at first I thought I was listening to a book I'd already read. I had to get around that first.

I love Sands' writing and this was no exception. Just that I am not a fan of reading the same story twice--even if it is from a different character's POV.
