About this listen
When a wager goes wrong....
Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, plain, she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position.
A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane....
For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself.
And a marriage of convenience will become so much more....
Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she's convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps - just perhaps - her duke is not as cold as he appears.
Contains mature themes.

JUST AMAZING.......
Really enjoyed this book. The characters especially the H and H were brilliant, it has become one of my favourite stories and will be listening to it again and again! Yes the narrator does pronounce the odd word ‘weirdly’ but It is easily forgiven In My opinion. Absolutely treat yourself and download this book now. If you enjoy true romance and love your escapism this is a book for you!

The story was very enjoyable
I enjoyed the narration mostly once I got over the R, s instead of A,s being put into words that didn’t belong there , but overall the story was read with passion and feeling for the characters and the story .
The story of a plain , plump bespectacled young wallflower being duped into a bet by a spoilt rascal younger brother of an arrogant duke who vows never to fall in love especially not to a wife .
A lovely passionate and seductive journey of innocence and discovery.

Enjoyed story.........shame about the narrator’s pronunciation
I enjoyed this book immensely and Mary Sarah did a very good job. The only thing that irritated me was her pronunciation of certain words - bark instead of back - forther instead of father and so on. It was the only blot on what was an enjoyable listening experience. Great shame, as I’m not sure I could put up with listening to her narrate again.

Ok story
I love arranged or marriage of convenience plots. I like the heroine wasn't a cookie cutter (she was chubby), this plot had a lot of potential. I dont think the couple was challenged enough. Narrator was good. Susan Duerden & Carolyn Morris my favorite narrators.

Worst ever narration
I should have believed the reviews! The narration is awful, what on earth has she been thinking?? FOTHER, BOACK it was truly awful and honestly I am usually not so fussed about accent, but this was no accent, it was just plain wrong.
I guess with another narrator I might listen to more of the series, but then again maybe the awful narration did hide the fact that nothing much happened in the book?

A nice audio
It took a while to get to grips with the story. The story line was a little disjointed. Overall worth listening to. There was no idea of attraction but duty to the marriage. Then suddenly it is about attraction on the Dukes part. When you have finished you feel it would have been better if certain aspects of the story were more thought out

Another great story from Elisa Braden
Fabulous story just wished Mary Sarah didn’t try too hard to be British. Her mispronunciations of the most simple of words such as back (not pronounced as Bach who is a composer or bark which is the outer shell of a tree trunk) would have increased the the pleasure.

Great story narrator a bit of a miss
why oh why does the narrator say "bark" instead of "back"? it's a shame because the story is really good and kept me addicted for the whole duration of the book. "his strong hands caressing her bark"....makes it sound like shes a dog.

Enjoyed the audio version
A good listen for wintry drives, the narrator is easy on the ear except for the sometimes strange way words are interpreted. Overall a slight irritation that does not spoil. Characterisations are very good

I Tried, but…
The narration is passable, but poor. Knowing that she totally mauls the word, ‘Back’, is quite entertaining and therefore can be ignored.
What can’t be ignored however, is the storyline… I’m afraid it’s… stilted and rambling and immature. Not a story about adults, just a too long tale.
I started and stopped for a number of days but thought that I would push through to the finish. But honestly, I couldn’t, even though I got to chapter 24.
The best thing about this book - in fact, the only thing worth pressing on to the next chapter, was Lady Walmington’s(sp?), pithy sayings. Priceless.
