Bargaining for the Barrister

De: Anneka R. Walker

Narrado por: Noah Wall

Louisa Cox is tired of fortune hunters pursuing her dowry. So when Lady Kellen offers to help her find an eligible suitor, Louisa eagerly accepts and makes a list of what she wants in a husband. The man selected is barrister Paul Sheldon. He may be a complete stranger, but he has one thing in his favor: he is unaware of her fortune. What Louisa did not anticipate was his curious behavior—or being so attracted to him.

When Paul catches wind of the matchmaking organization his mother and her friends are establishing, he pities the fellow who will be caught in their scheme—until he realizes he is to be their first victim. Horrified, Paul determines to thwart his mother’s plans by whatever means necessary. After meeting his intended, however, his increasing desire to be near her threatens to disrupt his convictions. Louisa is everything he could want in a wife, and when an unexpected adventure sets in motion the very plan he had determined to halt, he almost wishes his mother’s plot could succeed. But Paul harbors a secret and a past that make it impossible for him to give Louisa the life she deserves.

Best thing I’ve read in a long time

I LOVED this book! So many great scenes, I loved the character development and how the story unfolded. I empathized with their stories and enjoyed watching them unfold. Don’t walk, run to read this book!

Page turner

Loved loved loved this book! I was a terrible mother ignoring my children until I finished it. Lol

good listen!

I enjoyed this book, and found it very amusing. I'm looking forward to the next book to come out!

Too much going on

I can usually finish an audiobook within 24 hours. I am on day three with this book. I found it very difficult to be interested in the characters or what they were talking about. Some of the book was downright cringy. Plus there was just too much going on. “The Rebels” do they have a backstory I’m supposed to know about? Who knows, the book didn’t spell it out. Also while introducing too many useless characters. And even the minor characters have a tedious, backstories. Everything is convoluted, or secretive. Life just does not work that way I paid cash or I wouldn’t even finish it. I will celebrate when this book is over. As an orphan raised in foster care, who has also become an adoptive parent I have know hundreds if not thousands of orphaned, adopted, fostered kids and families Paul’s backstory is a whole bag of moonshine.

Very good book clean very good narrator loved it

Good fast moving book clean I enjoyed very much. Keep this kind of book coming.

Wonderful!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the wit and characters. Not a ton of romance. But a darling love story!

Sweet story if TSTL behavior doesn't bother you.

Narrator is excellent. Characters are well developed. Ending is happy. But plot is ridiculous, centering around madcap antics of a group of naive matchmakers, and the unbelievable and embarrassingly simple-minded responses of the marital candidates caught in their trap. Entirely too much stupidity! Waste of time to read or listen.
