The Viscount and the Vicar's Daughter

A Victorian Romance

De: Mimi Matthews

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

A world-weary rake

After years of unbridled debauchery, Tristan Sinclair, Viscount St. Ashton has hit proverbial rock bottom. Seeking to escape his melancholy, he takes refuge at one of Victorian society's most notorious house parties. As the Christmas season approaches, he prepares to settle in for a month of heavy drinking...until an unexpected encounter changes his plans - and threatens his heart.

A prim vicar's daughter

Valentine March is not the drab little spinster she appears to be. When her new job as a lady's companion lands her smack in the middle of Yorkshire with England's most infamous rake, she resolves to keep her head down and her eyes fixed firmly on her future - a future which most definitely does not include a sinfully handsome viscount.

A match made in scandal

A friendship is impossible. An affair out of the question. But when one reckless act binds them together, will two star-crossed souls discover there's more to each other than meets the eye? Or will revelations from the past end their fragile romance before it begins?

cute

A really sweet story. I just wish it was longer. it was over so quickly.

Fun Easy Listen

The narrator, I think Justine Eyre is an excellent narrator. She does a good job with male and female characters especially the prim and proper. There are books I will give a chance because Justine Eyre reads them. I gave her 4 stars because this story could not provide what is needed for a 5 star read.
The story, I gave 2 stars. So I consider 5 stars to be Tolkien, C.S.Lewis, Agatha Christie and a few others.
I appreciate that there was no bodice ripping or unnecessary sex scenes. This story was good for what it was, a historical romance I could listen to while doing other things. It was not overly intense and the heroine was portrayed well. She fit the time but demonstrated her intelligence and strength while remaining basically correct for the era.
I recommend it for a fun quick listen.

Perfection

Such a perfect book when you're in the mood for a sweet romance that you truly can't set down. This was sheer entertainment and just delightful. I must admit that a rake who reforms for his lady love is one of my favorite tropes. The writing was smoothly done, and the banter and dialogue were absolute perfection. I've yet to read a Mimi Matthews book that didn't touch my heart. I can't wait to reread this!
