Solicitor Tom Finchley has spent his life using his devious intellect to solve the problems of others. As for his own problems, they're nothing that a bit of calculated vengeance can't remedy. But that's all over now. He's finally ready to put the past behind him and settle down to a quiet, uncomplicated life. Former lady's companion Jenny Holloway has just been given a modest independence. Now, all she wants is a bit of adventure. A chance to see the world and experience life far outside the restrictive limits of Victorian England.

As a lady's companion, Clara Hartwright never receives much attention from anyone. And that's precisely how she likes it. With a stormy past, and an unconventional plan for her future, it's far safer to remain invisible. But when her new employer is invited to a monthlong holiday at a remote coastal abbey, Clara discovers that she may not be as invisible as she'd hoped. At least, not as far as one gentleman is concerned.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 660
Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

But when the Will is read, Adam learns most of the wealth has been left to a complete stranger, and a seamstress at that. If he hopes to salvage any kind of funds for himself, he has two choices: adhere to his late uncle’s wishes and assist the new heiress in finding her way, or sabotage her so the courts will find her unfit to inherit.

Publisher's Summary
"Matthews has a knack for creating slow-building chemistry and an intriguing plot with a social history twist." -Library Journal
She wanted sanctuary...
Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means traveling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger. But Greyfriar's Abbey isn't the sort of refuge she imagined. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill - though he may be tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome - is anything but a romantic hero.
He needed redemption...
Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores, and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison. Now, he needs someone to smooth the way for him with the villagers. Someone to manage his household - and warm his bed on occasion. What he needs, in short, is a wife and a matrimonial advertisement seems the perfect way to acquire one. Their marriage was meant to be a business arrangement and nothing more. A dispassionate union free from the entanglements of love and affection. But when Helena's past threatens, will Justin's burgeoning feelings for his new bride compel him to come to her rescue? Or will dark secrets of his own force him to let her go?

Excellent Storyline. Excellent Narration. Excellent Price!
From the very beginning my interest was caught and held. This story addresses more than one social issue of that time period: circumvention of the law by some who can afford to pay for that circumvention in order to increase their wealth; cruel treatment of persons confined to mental institutions; treatment of women as chattel; and the ease with which even sane individuals could be confined to mental institutions on the instigation of the wealthy and powerful. The author managed to reveal so many social issues while still presenting a romantic story with strong male and female characters who had to work through the effects of life experiences that contributed to the shaping of their individual characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this Audible recording. I give it a 5-star rating and a strong recommendation. I look forward to a possible series.

Adored!
I love the classics and felt throughout this book that I was caught up in the wonderful world of a Bronte sister or Jane Austen! Mimi’s style is beautiful, poignant, romantic, humorous, and I loved that there was actually so much that was true to the time period as opposed to so many historical romances that take such liberties with customs and the proprieties of the time.
The narrator did a superb job and I actually quite liked her intonations for the hero of the story, very appealing and full of emotion. NOT a sexually explicit novel, which was great as that would have sullied the story and felt inauthentic, instead the romance was slow and sweet with just enough heat passion between the hero and heroine and enough twist and excitement in the plot to keep me engaged. One of the best fiction books I’ve heard or read in a long while!

Loved this book so much. Very well written and very well narrated. Loved the plot and loved the romance. Will start the next one in the series straight away. Would recommend to anyone who loves Georgette Heyer.

Good audio
I enjoyed Justine Eyre's rendition of this book very much. I had to remind myself at times that this was one person speaking throughout, which is evidence of my being engaged with the reader.

Light or Dark I could not tell; definitely sentimental
Beautifully performed but the plot just does not bear out the pace. At times it was tedious to the point of needing to skip ahead, but if you appreciate a steady paced historical romance with two low-esteemed miscommunicating protagonists, this audiobook with its vivid settings will suit. It has excellent sexual tension, melancholia and misfits with the inevitable happy ending.

Wonderful Story, but PG
I stumbled across this and I really enjoyed the story. The only thing it lacked was a sex scene. It didn't need to be lengthy or graffic, but it irritates me when an entire novel is filled with sexual tension and then there is zero sex.
If I'd known it was going to be PG rated I might not have been so disappointed.
Regardless or all that, I've given 4/5 because the story was well written and I liked the characters. Narrator gave an excellent performance.

One of the best books
It was a dramatic love story, I couldn't stop listening. I was glad not to hear all that in depth going sex which can be sickening.
In the beginning it was a bit too much repetitive, but not so much as to get annoyed. I thought it was the best story I heard or read for a long time.
The reading was very well performed.
