I absolutely loved this bk!!
I found myself lost and swept up in the tantalizing story and the believable and captivating narration!! I will look for more books buy this author AND narrator.
Just the right amount of romantic details. Not to little not to much and thank goodness NOT Vulgar or distasteful but rather sweet, respectful and captivating with just enough heat!!!! Just my kind of book!

Sweet Moments; Some Inconsistency
First the pluses: The protagonist Eliza was likeable. She was smart and dignified, and the relationship between her and her dog Henry was sweet. The minuses: personally, I would have kicked the leading man to the curb. He was handsome and yes, wealthy, but his redeeming qualities were... ?? So what if he was publicly humiliated once. That seems little justification for his behavior towards Eliza in his supposed leading-man role.
In a nutshell, if you are not too picky about characters behaving in ways that just don't seem to cohere with their personas, then go ahead and get this, as it did have sweet moments and I did laugh outloud once.

Abundance of Conflict
If you like to bash your head against the wall, this book is for you. It is not a terrible story by any means, but the constant conflict has you wanting to wring their necks or hit something. I love the narrator; she is very pleasant to listen to for both the male and female voices.

Good Story! Narration must be discussed
Ok here it goes. I liked the story. Got tired a bit about the wallflower emphasis. But overall enjoyable. On to the narration. It was terrible in fact there were a few times I felt they dubbed in someone else’s voice. Her rendition of Eliza’s voice is absolutely cringe worthy. If someone writes it’s good I’d question their taste. Authors good.

So much potential
A duke on every corner and modern names are just some of the errors. A duke calls another duke 'mate' and 'tosser'. The dog at the wedding ceremony was also a bit overdone.
The story line had potential but was squandered.
The narrator was good.
