Seduced By a Lady's Heart

Lords of Honor Book 1

By: Christi Caldwell

Narrated by: Hugh Bradley

Lieutenant Lucien Jones, son of a viscount, returned from war, to find his wife and child dead. Blaming his father for the commission that sent him off to fight Boney's forces, he was content to languish at London Hospital - until offered employment on the Marquess of Drake's staff. Through his position, Lucien found purpose in life and is content to keep his past buried.

Lady Eloise Yardley has loved Lucien since they were children. Having long ago given up on the dream of him, she married another. Years later, she is a young, lonely widow who does not fit in with the ton. When Lucien's family enlists her aid to reunite father and son, she leaps at the opportunity to not only aid her former friend, but to also escape London.

Lucien doesn't know what scheme Eloise has concocted, but knowing her as he does, when she pays a visit to his employer, he knows she's up to something. The last thing he wants is the temptation that this new, older, mature Eloise presents; a tantalizing reminder of happier times and peace.

Yet Eloise is determined to win Lucien's love once and for all - if only Lucien can set aside the pain of his past and risk all on a lady's heart.

beautiful story

I've listened to this book twice. it is a beautiful and sweet story. I just love it.

"Vice-count", seriously??

While i enjoyed the story and writing very much, Hugh Bradley's mispronunciations of words essential to any Regency Romance had me gritting my teeth to make it to the end. He is basically an enjoyable Reader so I don!t understand why his blunders are so bad.

Distracted by narration

The frequent mispronounciations were distracting, especially 'viscount'. The story was good, and I am a Christi Caldwell fan.

one of my least favorite narrators

l love Christi Caldwell's books. But l struggled to finish this one because the narrator was so bad. l switched back over to the book on my kindle because his voice and his pronunciation grated on my nerves. l do not like Mr. Bradley's voice.

didn't finish

I don't know why exactly but this was a hard listen. I didn't finish it. maybe I'll revisit later. It seemed the history took too long to explain and still disconnected.
