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?

Clean, Mature Audience

I rate this a PG16 book because it is set in a time the English Gentry was full of immorality. The story is a beauty and beast plot. Although there are scenes which mention immoral acts, there are no graphic sexual details. The story is excellent except for it’s lack of transformation. The Rake changes because he falls in love is little weak for me

Short and sweet

Perfect story when you are wanting a good book that is easy to follow and wholesome.

A Fun Way to Pass Five Hours

Not my favorite by her, but I’ll admit that John Eyre is hard to top. ;)

A good clean romance but PG rated

This is a good clean romance story with only the amount of extra kissing and touching to make the mistake clearly enough for the listener to frustratingly understand the dilemma that the two have put themselves into. The conflicting results is what keeps the story interesting. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it.

My least favorite narrator ever

If I had seen this was Justine Eyre, I wouldn’t have grabbed this book. I can’t handle her shaky, whispery voice. I’m sure she does characters well, but they all shake and whisper and have guttural throat fry. I’ll give Mimi four stars because I usually like her books, but I simply cannot finish this.

Delightful Romance

Harkens back to my youth and many hours spent reading Georgette Heyer.

Definitely recommend to Heyer fans.

The performance of Justine Eyre was charming, and a pleasure to listen to.

Loved it!

Well written story that kept my attention. The narrator, Justine Eyre, is fantastic at her job!

Typical boy meets girl kn

Class differences impact happiness . When a rich man finds a penniless woman things get complicated, especially when neither one is honest in their declarations.

The Viscount and the Vicar’s Daughter

Love Justine Eyre’s narration.
Liked all the characters except Felicity(?) She needed a good whack on her posterior. Also like when there’s an epilogue. Recommend to young adults and up.

Good book but short

This is a good book but could have been much better if it was more detailed and longer. It seemed to move too quickly.
