About this listen

American heiress Sophia Wilson leaves Old New York for a Season in London. Her goal: to marry into the English aristocracy and help improve her family's social standing in America. Sophia knows her marriage will be a business transaction - her father will provide a generous financial settlement in exchange for a title - but secretly, what she desires most of all is to marry for love.

Love is the last thing on James Langdon's mind. The darkly handsome Duke of Wentworth comes from a menacing past and has learned to avoid his passions at all cost. But his castle in the north is falling into disrepair and what he needs is a swift cash infusion, not to mention an heir. A business transaction with a beautiful American heiress seems the perfect solution.

All goes according to plan until James finds himself enchanted by his spirited new wife, who demands far more from him than the title of duchess. Sophia wants his heart, but his heart is hidden away, shrouded in the darkness of ominous family secrets. James will go to any lengths to protect the dukedom. Soon, he and Sophia must choose between the marriage they thought they wanted and the passion-filled union that could change them forever.

Not a huge fan

While I enjoyed the story, it was a bit too sensual for me. I wish a review had mentioned that so I wouldn’t have wasted my time. Typically the Regency novels I’ve read allude to intimacy but don’t share quite so much.

No one is better than narrator, Rosalyn Landor!

Landor has such a versatile voice - I love it! This story was a good story of character-change! Unfortunately, it doesn't much happen that way. But it was nice to read a story where things worked out fine! Most American women DID come here trying to buy a title- the higher title the better. And as a result, many had awful marriages that didn't last too long! It was nice to read of one that did!

Rosalyn does it again

Storyline ok. Repetitive of many past storylines but still enjoyable. I’ll listen again at some point, mostly because I love Rosalyn Landor. I’m willing to listen to anything she narrates!

I love the narrator! Entertaining!

I loved the pace of the story and the performance of the narrator. Been a fan since I heard her from Bridgerton. The story was interesting and my only regret is Sophia didn’t make James suffer a bit more for being so cold to her! Lol!

Descriptive emotional feelings

Was a little too long but interesting read for a romance novel. Funny at times with great actors.

It was slow and repetitive

I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. It was long and extremely repetitive. Sophia makes her wants and needs known very plainly throughout the book and literally everyone ignores what she says or assumes she has a different motive. I don’t know, I just didn’t buy that. James is well meaning, clearly had a lot of baggage, but his heart and his actions rarely align. One minute he’s kind and the next he’s callus. This book is a one time read for me.

Rosalyn Landor is the prize

The story was ok. Luckily it seems like Rosalyn can bring any story to life.

Worth reading

I enjoyed this book. The author hinted at a mystery throughout the book but it wasn’t until three fourth of the way that it took off. It’s unusual for a book to get more exciting at the end.
