Haslemere Men, Book 1

De: Pamela Mingle

Narrado por: Carmen Rose

London 1812. War hero Adam Grey returns home with a burning ambition to run for Parliament. But he needs the support of the local baronet, who controls the seat. Adam's plans are thwarted by his dissolute father, who has promised him to the baronet's daughter in return for forgiveness of his debts. Adam wants nothing to do with marriage or his father's problems, so he fakes an engagement to Cass Linford—his best friend's sister.

Cass has been through hell since she last saw Adam. Her betrothed committed suicide, forcing her to withdraw from London society. Heartbroken, she's given up on marriage. So when Adam suggests a temporary engagement, she agrees. He needs help with his campaign, and Cass can't resist his charm or the chance to be involved in politics. It all seems so easy, until she finds herself falling in love with her fake fiancé.

Contains mature themes.

Lovely story

The secrets didn’t let them fully love each others…
Thank you I’m looking forward more stories from this actor and narrator.

Story line

I didn’t have a dislike specifically. This was a new writer for me. I will read more from her. I had trouble getting out of this page

Proposal

This was a pretty typical historical romance. Infatuation, misunderstanding add in underling trauma. The trauma took a bit to long to surface. Even so not too bad and will continue to listen to find out about the brothers story.

Good

Enjoyable storyline & complex characters help to keep the interest in this romance. The narrator was good but the male voices were weak.

needs more storyline

too much emphasis on the sex and not enough on the plot and develpment of character.

I tried

all the ingredients but somehow it lacked in flavor. I love Justine Ere though. I made it to chapter 7.

A Bit Dull

This book is a bit dull. The heroine is a jealous busy body, and she allows her cousin to bully her, and the hero is a liar. I only made it to chapter 11.
