Summary
The Duke of Malmesbury’s daughters discover that passion can derail even the best-laid matrimonial plans.
Lady Cecily is known as the “Ice Princess” because of her cool blond beauty and her refusal to wed any of her several eligible suitors. She has no choice but to obey her father, the Duke, who wants Cecily to marry the one man who can assure the family’s social and financial positions: The arrogant and infuriating Viscount Ravenwood, who has been her enemy since childhood. A marriage of convenience is all she expects from their pairing - she has no idea that Ravenwood conceals a deep secret, or just how determined he will be to claim her heart.
Cecily’s sister, Lady Brittany, is relieved that she doesn’t have to take part in the husband hunt in London’s marriage mart - though as a duke’s daughter, she is considered a prime catch. Comfortably engaged to amiable Lord Anthony Faringdon, she knows that though they may not be a love match, she and Tony will get along just fine - that is, until she meets his best friend, the darkly handsome Marquess of Cheriton, whose eyes pierce her very soul. Brittany’s comfortable life and perfect plans will be overturned by her increasingly passionate feelings for the irresistibly charming Marquess.

A satisfying listen
Great story line that gives a good glimpse of life in high society in the 1800’s
Far too much time spent describing attires and discussing bonnets and sashes, but overall not too bad at all

Hmmm
This book is not really for me but maybe it's just the thing for someone else. I do like the narrator.

Pleasant
NOT Georgette Heyer but pleasant. A discordant note is the constant harping on fathers and husbands. It may have been legally possible to a limited degree but it seems rather unlike the gentlemanly behaviour that the period demanded.
The narrator’s style of slight pauses in totally the wrong places is a little irritating, but she has a pleasant voice.

Good stories
Pretty good stories. I suspect they might have been better read rather listened to. Some language and behaviours of characters were not suited to the period, and the narrator's pronunciation was off at times. Overall good.

I lovely story
This is a beautiful story, this author into such detail to describe the goings-on and the surroundings in the story and the homes of the people that live there, with all the detail and research that has been put into this book, it brings the story alive to the mains I.
I really enjoyed the story, it’s beautiful. I am so sorry about my typos, I am visually impaired.

Light entertainment
This book was a frothy gallop through regency life not gripping but quiet suitable to leave then go back to.

enjoyed
this first part of the book I really enjoyed, but the second part was like the author did not know what to write ,so we got a foll dress description and the furniture and surround a bit to boring to me, even though the story I did enjoy

Quite delightful
I rather enjoyed these stories. The Narrator is pretty good and easy on the ear. Light airy and not too mushy with a spatter of fun.
