Viscount in Love

A Novel

De: Eloisa James

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

Two eccentric orphans bring together a grumpy viscount and the free-spirited heroine who steals his heart in the first novel in Eloisa James’s new Accidental Brides series, in which haughty aristocrats find themselves married to the wrong women.

He wants a nanny, not a bride…

Suddenly guardian to twins, Viscount Dominic Kelbourne is luckily betrothed to a suitable lady—until she elopes. With no time to woo, Dominic decides to marry his fiancée’s unconventional sister. Torie isn’t perfect, but their kisses are so passionate that society thinks he’s actually chosen her.

She wants to marry for love…

Torie has never been able to make sense of words on a page, so she has turned her talents to art. She longs for a man who values her as she is… but marries for the sake of the twins. She doubts Dominic is capable of love, let alone respect, but as their heated debates turn into something more, Torie begins to imagine a life as a wife, not a nanny.

But when the arrogant viscount finds that his viscountess has stolen his heart, he’ll have to give all he has to win her love.

I’ll listen to anything MJW - twins are the best part!

I don’t typically listen to Eloisa James b/c I can’t stand the other narrator she uses. But when I saw MJW name as the narrator I downloaded it instantly! What an enchanting story! The twins are adorable and such a fun dimension and storyline. Both MMC and MFC are flawed and lovable and their banter kept me engaged. Being dyslexic myself, I wish the author would have gone into a little more details about FMCs illiteracy. I thought she just needed spectacles throughout the whole novel until the authors note at the end. I also thought there was an opportunity to dive further into the sister and her possibly murderous husband. But all in all I found the story light and amusing and I look forward to the next books in the series pending a tolerable narrator.

story was predictable and boring in places

Mary Jane Wells was fantastic as always but the story droned on and was very predictable. The young characters were great but i didn’t like the hero very much. just got boring after awhile.

The narrator

Nothing. I love the sound of her voice. She can make the most tiresome books interesting

I reserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for ones like this!

I absolutely loved this audiobook! I enjoyed every second. I laughed out loud often. There was so much wit, charm, passion, and even the perfect angst! It didn’t drag along, but moved along at a perfect pace. This was by far one of the best, highest quality romances I’ve ever had the joy of experiencing. It had all the ⭐️’s: hot, steamy love, emotion (not overdone drama and silly theatrics), a great plot, complex and lovable characters with no internal monologue, but excellent dialogue, paired with a superb narrator. Mary Jane Wells does even the male voice justice. Thank you for this one, Eloisa James! I will be revisiting it for sure. ❤️ Refreshing—so happy to give this one a 5 ⭐️ review! I don’t do that often as I’m very meticulous—and even a bit “extra” when it comes to ratings.

I love flawed characters

Having a dyslexic heroine is a first for me and frankly over due. My son is dyslexic and his struggles have been very real, so everything Torie felt hit home for me. The Viscount was an ass but redeemable in the end. Mary Jane Wells’ performance was incredible. She’s the reason I listen to books she narrates more than once. I audibly sighed with relief when I heard her voice. I wish she’d narrate all historical romances. Overall I enjoyed this story.

Perfect start to a new series

Fun, funny, interesting, and entertaining. Enjoyed the characters, dialogue, and storyline. Mary Jane Wells brings life to the characters and is simply the best narrator.

Almost!

I love Mary Jane Wells, she is the best there is at narration. I loved the story, the characters were absolutely precious. The children were well written and funny. The spicy was mid at best but wasn't until 25 chapters in.

One of Eloisa James best

EVERYTHING you could want in an historical romance novel: intelligent but emotionally troubled Viscount and a talented yet underappreciated artistic young lady aristocrat. They learn how to love each other and overcome their differences against the background of gossipy British high society, timely political issues and the impediment of her gambling/drinking father.

Fantastic!!

Great story wonderful characters. I LOVE this book, I could not put it down. The emotion the disappointment and the love. Excellent narration.

Solid, unsurprising, low drama

I enjoyed the relationship and character development, but the story is most definitely a slow build without a ton of conflict. But if you're in the mood for a sweet love story with an okay bit of spice, this will do it!
