About this listen
One title to change his life...
A disgraced son with a dark reputation, William Ferguson Avenel is content to live in exile in Scotland - until his father dies in the scandal of the Season, making him the new Duke of Rothwell and leaving him in charge of his young sisters. With rumors of insanity swirling around their family, the girls desperately need a chaperone. And he thinks he's found the lady for the job...until Rothwell discovers her dangerous secret life.
One chance to break the rules....
Lady Madeleine Vaillant may be the perfect chaperone, but she can't face her blighted future without making one glorious memory for herself. In disguise on a London stage, she finds all the adoration she never felt from the ton. But when she's nearly recognized, she will do anything to hide her identity - even make a devil's bargain with Rothwell, who saves her from discovery by claiming her as his mistress. She'll take the pleasure he offers - but Madeleine won't lose her heart in the bargain.
One season to fall in love...
Every stolen kiss could lead to discovery, and Rothwell's old enemies are determined to ruin them both. But as their dangerous passion ignites their hearts and threatens their futures, how can an heiress who dreams of freedom deny the duke who demands her love?

male lead voice
I was not a fan of the lead male voice....kinda smarmy and sleazy sounding.
But I still enjoyed the performance!

Too many clichés
I like the narrator and the plot, but the characterization of the main character made this book too annoying to finish. I listened to half of it and gave up because… the main character is supposed to be a secret grand actress, but in her day to day life she doesn’t know how to flirt? She’s a wallflower? Then she falls in love with the love interest and proceeds to make all kinds of assumptions about him… it was too silly. When the problems could be solved with a simple conversation, or when the main character seems a bit stupid (for all her forbidden, grand talent and the guts it would take to go for that in Georgian England), I was rolling my eyes too often.

Acceptance
2.5
This book has strong characters and a good premise. Madeleine is a strong heroine who is fearless when it comes to fulfilling her artistic desire and ultimately the hole inside of her. She is smart, witty, and caring. While she is well loved by those closest to her, she doesn’t always feel like she belongs. Ferguson is strong, smart, and caring (in his own way). Neither has a love for society. Their romance is fun and interesting, especially for a couple who never wanted marriage. The sparks between them come across on the page.
This is one of those reads for me that was an ok read. While the characters and the premise were interesting, I just didn’t connect with the story the way that I like to. There were a couple of characters that I could have done without as I didn’t feel that they added anything to the overall story. It was an ok start to the series, and it will be interesting to see how the other books go.
I listened to this book on audio and the narrator did a decent job.
