About this listen

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?

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.

good story but poor narration

The story was ruined by the stilted almost robotic narration which was a pity because Gracie novels deserve better

Wonderful Story; Dreadful Narration

Anne Gracie is an exceptionally good writer and this story is wonderful. However, it was completely ruined by the most inept and frankly bizarre narration. I was determined to finish the book because the story was so good but my goodness, it was painful. I cannot believe the publisher allowed this audiobook to be produced. If you can, get this book on kindle or in paperback…don’t subject yourself to this version.

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.

Great story

Once you get past the terrible voice acting, this story was so enjoyable and the very definition of a marriage of convenience book haha

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.

Dreadful narration

I really like Anne Gracie books however I couldn't carry on past chapter 7 as the narration is so dreadful. The narrator sounds like she's performing it as part of Miss Mallard's elocution class. I even tried to speed it up from my usual 1.2 to 1.5 but that didn't work either.

enjoyable story but narrator let it down

the narrator was very monotone and sounded like a robot. I thought I could here a slight American accent there and wondered if the way she was reading was how she thought the English spoke. disappointing because I love Ann Gracie books
