How to Train Your Baron

What Happens in the Ballroom, Book 1

By: Diana Lloyd

Narrated by: Christine Rendel

When Elsinore Cosgrove escapes a ballroom in search of adventure, she has no idea it will lead to a hasty marriage. The youngest daughter of a duke, all she wants is to make her own choices. Now she's engaged to an infuriating, handsome Scottish baron who doesn't even know her name! Using all her feminine wiles, along with advice gleaned from a training guide for hunting hounds, Elsinore is determined to mold her baron into the husband she wants.

Quin Graham is a man with many secrets. If another scandal can be avoided with a sham marriage, so be it. Only his fiancee isn't at all what he's expecting, and the clumsy, curious, and clever Elsinore refuses to be set aside. For reasons he's unwilling to explain, the last thing Quin needs is to fall for his wife.

Contains mature themes.

GOOD STORY

I thought the female lead in this book was a little immature and thoughtless in the beginning. but by the ending she redeemed herself. The beginning was entertaining and provided some chuckles. But the storyline was complex and provided accurate historical background . Enjoyed that part of the story . The only negative comment I have for this book is that I did not think the Scottish accent matched the male lead.. I have been to Scotland and they have a much more musical tone to the annunciation, although different parts of Scotland have different regional accents. All male Scottish men had a hard mad voice in this book. A couple times they almost had an New Jersey sound to them. It was a little distracting. But overall I enjoyed the book.

Great & fun read

There were many laugh out loud moments. Sweet story of innocence and chaos. Looking forward to more by the author.

5 minutes in I was laughing uncontrollably!

What a hilarious book. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital I laughed so hard for so long!
Wonderful story, Excellent writing, Terrific narration!

LOL GREAT UNUSUAL STORY

Loved the storyline what a pair these two made stubborn, untrusting, thrown together! LOVED THE CRAZY WAY THEY MET, and their luck of falling in water ENJOYED

How to train your baron

I only got to chapter 6. The girl is too much of a brat and only thinks like a 12yr old. Childish lead lady is just too much to continue

loving family

Amazing story loving adventurous scottish And a sasha knock Funny witty Historical
Facts Some pause very sad

Sweet a little funny

Some funny moments in the beginning. The miscommunication was annoying but it’s kind of expected. The over all story was great. A little spicey. I didn’t love the narration but I was able to follow along on

I can't go on

I'm to chapter 6 and I have just had enough of the petulant, childish, idiotic, selfish heroine. I thought this started cute right in the beginning, the meet cute was fun. But when the H does the honorable thing by offering for her, and continues to save, help, be kind to, take the blame for her , she responds with unbelievably poor behavior. She blames him and mistrusts him like he set it up for her fortune, (when she KNOWS how she called him for help in a situation she got herself into!) She pranks him cruelly, and is one of the most obnoxious h's I have read.. It's just not fun.
