De: Sofi Laporte

Narrado por: Gabrielle Baker

Lady Avery Heywood has never been kissed. She's never had a Season, danced the waltz at a ball, or been in love. The staunch spinster has resigned herself to a loveless existence, where she dutifully raises her brother's four children and cares for an ageing aunt. But Avery yearns to break free from the shackles of her humdrum existence. Determined to check off each item on her list of unfulfilled dreams, she turns to her butler for assistance. Little does she know that beneath her butler's unassuming demeanor lies a secret that could forever alter their destinies.

As Avery and her enigmatic butler navigate the bewildering world of high society and its glittering balls, their worlds collide in a tumultuous dance of mixed identities and hidden desires. But as class lines blur and danger looms, she wonders: Who is Jerkins, really? Servant, lord, rakehell . . . or perhaps even a daring highwayman?

Before long, Avery finds herself tumbling into a splendid adventure of mistaken identity, danger, and intrigue. In this lively and romantic tale of love against all odds, Avery will discover that true passion can be found with the most unexpected of people . . .

Great performance and story

I wish this narrator did narration for Miss Robinson and the Unsuitable Baron, because she is good at capturing the mood of the book. This was a funny, witty and well told story. The heroine is hilarious and narrator captured her perfectly. I listened to it twice already. Romance is nice here, but it’s not the primary focus which makes the romance even better. Hero is awesome. I recommend reading this book also, I loved the hero a lot more reading the book. Highly entertaining narration.

Meh

This started out as a fun read with quirky characters and good dialogue. But then about half- way through it was as if the rest written by someone different. The characters lost their way and the storyline became preposterous- and not in a good way. I listened until the end but it was a dissatisfying read especially compared to the very enjoyable first book in the series. Wouldn’t recommend.
