Someone to Wed

De: Mary Balogh

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

A very practical marriage makes Alexander Westcott question his heart in the latest Regency romance from the New York Times best-selling author of Someone to Hold.

When Alexander Westcott becomes the new Earl of Riverdale, he inherits a title he never wanted and a failing country estate he can't afford. But he fully intends to do everything in his power to undo years of neglect and give the people who depend on him a better life....

A recluse for more than 20 years, Wren Heyden wants one thing out of life: marriage. With her vast fortune, she sets her sights on buying a husband. But when she makes the desperate and oh-so-dashing earl a startlingly unexpected proposal, Alex will agree only to a proper courtship, hoping for at least friendship and respect to develop between them. He is totally unprepared for the desire that overwhelms him when Wren finally lifts the veils that hide the secrets of her past....

Great Story, Fabulous narrator

MB is one of my favorite writers. Rosalyn Landor is the best narrator I have ever listened too. Ms. Landor brings Ms Balogh's characters to life in such a way that you feel their joy as well as their pain.
Love this series of "someone" I've listened to all of them and follow their paths through life.
Keep them coming Ms. Balogh and please keep Ms. Landor reading all of your future books.

So very charming.

Mary Balogh continues to be one of my favorite historical romance writers. Such well-developed characters, descriptive settings and intelligent dialogue provide the plot with all that is needed for an absorbing and satisfying read. This third book portrays a woman, Wren, "marred" with a side of her face "disfigured" by a large, red birthmark. She is a successful business woman who hides her face with a veil and is nearly a recluse. But she wishes to marry. How to do so? Use her wealth as a means to entice a quality man to wed her. And the plot begins. So many challenges that requires so much courage to face them as Wren and Alex (the quality gentleman) navigate a relationship right into a lovely HEA. Adding Rosalyn Landor's narration to the story always adds an extra dimension of lovely to my satisfaction.

Beautiful Story

So full of heart and love! Rosalyn Landor is the perfect narrator! I’m loving every one in the Westcott Series. Mary Balogh has done it again…a wonderful story-teller!

A different vein of a romance from Mary Balogh - refreshing!

A refreshing change from the boilerplate romance. This story is filled with grit, hope and grace.

Learning to love and accept yourself as you are😊

I felt like I could really relate to the main female character. She was lost and isolated in the beginning of the book but ended up finding herself along the way. This was a phenomenal listen. Thank you 🩷

Absolutely wonderful!!

One of Mary Balogh’s best books!! My husband could learn a thing or two from Alexander ;)

A glimpse inside

Mary Balogh’s stories spoken by Roselyn Landor surely top the long list of British romances set in Napoleonic times. The little freedoms that women had are clearly shown and their vestiges can be spied in the modern royal family.

Hallmark card in a book!

I needed some thing going on, while I was spring cleaning the office. This fit the bill. There were a few moments of intrigue, but basically, a Hallmark card in a book. The narrator made it bearable.

Wonderfully moving story

Really interesting start & a beautiful ending although I would loved a few more chapters, a baby on the way, going home together, etc

Love Rosalyn Landor! Excellent reader!

À modern time Jane Austen

I really like Mary Balogh for her authenticity, the books are accurate for the time period and the stories still written in a modern way that pleases modern romance readers. I also really like the complexity of the characters in this book, and the fact that the romance is slow and makes sense. All in all great read.
