The Marquess and I

Forever Yours, Book 1

By: Stacy Reid

Narrated by: Catherine Bilson

Lady Willow Arlington, hauntingly lovely, is also blind and known by the ton as the dowry-less daughter. Alasdair Morley, the Marquess of Westcliffe, is in need of an heiress, but Lady Willow should be the last person he craves after she was persuaded to reject his offer of marriage when he was a mere third son. Passion reignites between them, and he makes an enticing offer she cannot resist, drawing them into a dance of lust and love despite the misgivings in his heart.

Was an interesting idea

You already know she is sight impaired, but she is still the boldest debutante ever. I’ve read a lot of these and she knows an awful lot for an innocent.
The narrator made him sound like he had a cold. Something about her accent or pronunciation is a little off too, but I can’t quite say what it is. Too many words ending in a vowel sound when the word ends in a consonant? Maybe.
It’s a short story, so I endured it.

Lovely novella

It is lovely listening to someone who conveys the emotions the characters feel. Also enjoyed the overall story.

Love runs deep

I loved this story of a heroine who thought she didn’t deserve love due to her blindness. To have hero who was so upstanding that he reaches for the inner beauty and love. The unwavering connection and drive to show his love makes you root for them. The narrator kept me engaged. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves second chances and Stacy Reid’s books. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Heartfelt novella

Angsty in the best regency way, with a rather mouthy Marquess, I enjoyed this heartfelt second chance romance. I would have liked a bit more fun and more spirit, but this was a decent novella sale purchase. While I liked the narrator’s voice for her, I’m afraid her voice for him just didn’t put my stomach to tingling.

Short and expensive

A novella, less than 4 hours, at the same price as a regular length novel. I was disappointed.
Didn't care for Ms Blison's interpretation of the main character.
All in all, not my best Audible experience .
