About this listen

What happens when a marriage of convenience isn't so convenient?

Lieutenant Colonel Benedict Draven has retired from the army and spends most of his days either consulting for the Foreign Office or whiling away the hours at his club with his former comrades-in-arms. He rarely thinks about the fiery Portuguese woman he saved from an abusive marriage by wedding her himself. It was supposed to be a marriage in name only, but even five years later and a world away, he can't seem to forget her.

Catarina Neves never forgot what it felt like to be scared, desperate, and subject to the whims of her cruel father. Thanks to a marriage of convenience and her incredible skill as a lacemaker, she's become an independent and wealthy woman. But when she's once again thrust into a dangerous situation, she finds herself in London and knocking on the door of the husband she hasn't seen since those war-torn years in Portugal. Catarina tells Benedict she wants an annulment, but when he argues against it, can she trust him enough to ask for what she really needs?

Contains mature themes.

Felt super bored

Not really for me. I had to speed up to 3,5x in order to finish and the only reason I didn’t dnf was because of a reading challenge. FMC is insufferable, the book is divided in parts, and all are boring as. There was 1 spicy scene that was half decent but the rest was just 🥱😴😴
The Shakespeare quotes ar the beginning of each chapter were a nice touch and the narration was good enough even if the Portuguese fmc didn’t sound Portuguese at all.
Free on plus catalogue audible. But not worth it.
