Summary

Major Calborne Rutherford returns to England on the trail of an assassin, only to find he's become Lord Ashendon, with the responsibility for vast estates and dependent relatives. Cal can command the toughest of men, but his wild half-sisters are quite another matter. They might just be his undoing.

When he discovers that Miss Emmaline Westwood, the girls' former teacher, guides them with ease, Cal offers her a marriage of convenience. But strong-minded and independent Emm is neither as compliant nor as proper as he expected, and Cal finds himself most inconveniently seduced by his convenient wife.

Emm knows they didn't marry for love, yet beneath her husband's austere facade, she catches glimpses of a man who takes her breath away. As pride, duty, and passion clash, will these two stubborn hearts find more than they ever dreamed of?

Thoroughly enjoyed

Another gem from Anne Gracie who consistently delivers writing that is entertaining. Charlotte Dare adds to the book with a great narrative.

I enjoyed it

I love Anne Gracie stories, this one is let down by the narrator.
I don’t know if I just got used to it or if she did actually improve by half way! But it got easier to listen to around half way for me.

A plot of twists and humour, a good story

The story is fun, a typical quality romance from Gracie.
I read this story some years ago, and was rather disappointed in the readers voice.it seemed almost robotic, hesitant, the voice lacked flow where it was needed. Sounding more like the speaking clock than an actor.

Good overall but.......

Why oh why must a mawkish obligatory sex scene be included in an otherwise enjoyable story. They're all the same and authors seem to cut and paste them altering the occasional word.

Extremely poor narration

I usually enjoy Anne Gracie stories. But this one is very poorly read in a voice that is boring and slow. The editing has clear slices which also detracts from the story. It’s a very hard listen.

Shame about the narration

I really wanted to listen to the first book in series and have happily enjoyed the other stories & where they go from here. It took 4 attempts to listen to this book. The narration is off putting and robotic and some of the pronunciation is very strange indeed! Enjoyed the story, have it re-recorded please

Slow start but got better

Cal was selfish and superior until he met Emmeline and to make his life easier married her. The story then got better and better until the epilogue. Heartwarming.

Get ready to fall asleep

The story is good but the narrator is not the best.

she reads the book very slowly, in fits and starts, it's hard to figure out which character is speaking. (Even the men).

Great story

Loved the story and looking forward to the rest in this series. I have read another two of Gracie's series and was happy to see the return of Daisy Chance in this one. Not a fan of the narrator though, nice voice but too stilted and hesitant which leaves too many pauses.
