About this listen

 Michael Anstruther-Wetherby is a man destined for power. Except that Michael, for all his political skill and intelligence, lacks the most important element of success: a wife.

So he goes searching for his ideal bride, a gently bred, well-managed young lady. Michael discovers such a paragon, but finds a formidable obstacle in his path, the young lady's beautiful, strong-minded aunt, Caroline Sutcliffe. Caro has lived through an unhappy political marriage, and wants nothing of the sort for her niece, especially as the young woman has already lost her heart to another.

Caro and the younger woman hatch a plot: Caro will demonstrate why an inexperienced young lady is not the bride for him. In deflecting Michael's matrimonial attentions away from her niece, Caro unwittingly focuses them on herself. And then it is Michael's turn to be persuasive, a task that requires every ounce of his seductive charm.

A series of mysterious and dangerous accidents befall Caro; it becomes clear that an assailant has stepped in with his or her own idea for Caro's future, one that could even involve murder. Before Caro can become Michael's ideal bride, they must race to uncover the unknown's identity before all hope of what they long for, and wish for, is destroyed.

Profile Image for Claire

boring

I found this a bit boring.
But what a difference a narrator makes. I loved Simon Prebble in all the other previous books so I don't know why they didn't use him again. He's brilliant. I felt that the narrator ruined this book, it could have been better if Simon Prebble narrated it. The narrator, Clare Higgins' voice for the Male characters was too boyish and effeminate, at times I couldn't tell whether a man or a woman was speaking, I couldn't tell the difference. But I prefer male narrators, there are very few female narrators I like, because I like the hero to have a deep sexy voice not a voice like a boy. Anyway on to the next one of the Cynster series.
