A bit like a dull cocktail party

This was definitely not my favorite Eloisa James book. I almost stopped listening during the first couple hours which felt to me like a very boring cocktail party where you want to leave but have to wait for your ride home! It picked up a bit but never really got that interesting. Frankly, it was predictable, slow, and the characters just didn't appeal to me. Kate Reading did her usual find job of narrating but even that can only hold my interest for so long in the absence of a good plot.

Bravo!

Another sexy funny romance from James, brought to life in Reading's incomparable narration. These two just get better and better. I highly recommend this for regency/historical romance lovers. Imaginative story, amazing performance. You won't be sorry you tried this one!

Meh

I've read several EJ books and this was my least favorite. I agree with others that this book suffered from the change in narrator. While the narrator was very good with the male voices, I hated her portrayal of the main character. She sounded ditzy and every time she said "oh, spit" I wanted to punch her. Beyond that, the story itself was just okay. I listened all the way through but stopped caring after the wedding. Before that, I was intrigued as to what would happen next, but it slowed way down after.

Love , Love Eloisa James

After two broken betrothals Miss Merry Pelford, an American Heiress has come abroad with her aunt and uncle as a last chance to marry Merry off to an English gentleman. Lord Cedric Allardyce the younger brother of a duke has quickly zeroed in on Merry and after a short -one month - courtship promptly proposed at a ball then disappeared to the card room. Merry needed air and pulled herself out to a balcony to reassess what had just happened - she was now betrothed.

Before too long a gentleman came bursting out to the balcony, clearly upset and hadnt noticed Merry standing alone in the shadows. Naturally, Merry being American and not your normal gently bred unassuming London debutante, tapped him on the shoulder to discover if there were anything she might do to help. Aghast that a woman would just simply approach him the Duke of Trent was anything but friendly, but alas Merry was not impeded by his brusque mood. After many minutes of discussion with this unusually intelligent and attractive woman, Trent who never smiled had quite enjoyed their discussion and certain he must be introduced officially to her.
