About this listen

Jillian's marriage was a nightmare, the news of her husband's death an answered prayer. She refuses to bow to the ton and pretend to mourn. And her best friend, Case, will be by her side as she defies society's rules and has her first taste of freedom.

Justin, eighth Duke of Whittington, is determined to save his family name from the scandal his brother Case is creating, but the lovely Jillian is not the foe he expected. Both vulnerable and vexing, he's never met another woman like her. But as sparks fly between them, Justin realizes he must help save Jillian from her past before they can ever have a future.

Contains mature themes.

Great performance

This is a good historical book. With a struggle to conform this leading lady has so much personality. A great performance.

Good story even though mispronunciations made me wince

This is a good story, draws one in.

But I have two niggles, both of which grated on and distracted me when I heard them. One niggle typical of American writers ... English cities do not have (and never have had) blocks. Our cities grew organically. Only very occasional and I can live with it.

But as to the narration ... generally excellent, showing the narrator read and truly understood every sentence before recording. Some narrators manifestly don't!
But here's my second niggle, and the word crops up so frequently that the mispronunciations are impossible to ignore. "Ton" in the context of a Regency romance is not the English word meaning 2880 pounds weight. it is the French word meaning the upper crust of 18th and early 19th century society, and it must be pronounced as if speaking French. The message is, to all narrators - if you are not 100% certain, LOOK IT UP.

Nevertheless - on balance, even this pedant enjoyed this hearing!

Good plot but not well written

The author hasn't a clue about the master/mistress servant relationship during the Regency period. There are huge holes in the plot too. Such a pity as the overall plot is good and the narrator excellent.
