Summary
Lady Amelia Fitzwilliam is approaching her 30th year, and her umpteenth season without selecting a husband. Her elder brother is so concerned over this state of affairs that he's tripled her already obscene dowry in hopes that the coming season will finally see her leg-shackled. Opposed to the establishment of marriage to begin with, Amelia has no intention of giving up her freedom - or the taboo predilections she engages in behind closed doors. After all, what lord of the town would submit himself to a woman who enjoys subjecting her bed-mates to pain and domination for life? Since she has yet to meet such a man, Amelia contents herself with the long life of spinsterhood stretching out before her.
Michael Darling is a simple gentleman farmer, satisfied to live out his days rusticating in the country. He has no reason to run off to London searching for a bride - except for the matter of his dire financial straits. Debt has bled his coffers dry, leaving him with only one option: quickly find and wed a woman with an enormous dowry. When he encounters Lady Amelia Fitzwilliam in a gaming hell, the lady's reputation precedes her. A wager made over a card game will put her within his grasp, but the discovery of her peculiar tastes in the bedroom has him wondering if they could ever make a good match. Soon, Michael will realize that Amelia's domination appeals to him more than he would have ever dreamed, causing him to fall rapidly under her spell. However, a dark past comes with Amelia's tendencies, making her hard to woo and even harder to love. Never one to back down from a challenge, Michael sets out to untangle the convoluted puzzle Amelia presents and, hopefully, win her heart.

Fantastic Book - Great Audiobook - A Steamy Tale
The book is a brilliant read and this audiobook is fantastic.
Michael Darling comes from a close and loving family, whereas Amelia has never experienced the love of a mother and father and along with her brother has been psychologically damaged. Michael and Amelia's differing childhoods define them. Michael is a strong, confident and loving character. Amelia is shuttered, secretive and doesn't know how to love or trust.
Michael seeks Amelia out and pursues her as he needs to marry an heiress with a large dowry to save his estate - Amelia is an heiress with a huge dowry, but has no intention of marrying as she has a fear of being dominated by a man. However, meeting Michael is the turning point in her life....
The narration of the book is really good - it is a fantastic story - once started hard to put down!
I particularly like to listen and read along at the same time - really immersive!
I highly recommend this audiobook.

Hated the Narrator
A great story as always and I loved all the characters.
The book was completely spoilt by the terrible narrator who sounded like an automaton. Michael's accent is completely wrong and jars. The narrator makes Michael's family sound like well bred landowners whereas he sounds like a country bumpkin. Just because you live in the country, doesn't mean that you cannot be well bred too after all the Queen lives in Norfolk!
