About this listen

Two possible futures loom before Miss Anne Davenport. The first option: sharing an unhappy home with her father and soon-to-be stepmother. The second: a life of independence at the Spinster House, if only her friend, Cat, would vacate the premises and marry the Duke of Hart. A well-placed whisper about the pair's secret tryst might speed the course of true love. But the duke's stubborn cousin poses an obstacle - a ridiculously handsome, very persuasive obstacle…

Nate, Marquess of Haywood, has spent his life looking out for the duke, hoping to stave off a family curse. The only way to keep his cousin alive is to keep him single. That means convincing the intriguing Miss Davenport that her lovely lips could be put to far better use than gossiping. Kissing, for instance. In fact Nate is beginning to hope that Miss Davenport's destiny lies not in the Spinster House at all but with him.

Contains mature themes.

Entertaining Read

3.5 stars
Anne and Nate are interesting, entertaining characters. When Anne wasn’t fighting for the Spinster House I really liked her and enjoyed her story. Nate I could relate to from the start and felt for him throughout his journey. I loved Edward and Stephen and what they brought to the story – both entertainment and sweet. They brought so much to the story and the characters.

Tolerable. Barely.

Go ahead, use the word cock one more time. We didn't get it the first 900 times. It's every third word. Ugh.

Ann is insufferable and utterly unlikeable for 70% of this second book in the trilogy. Selfish, thoughtless, self absorbed. The character generally trounce and humiliated in similar novels set in that time.

Hope Jane's story has fewer eww moments.
