To save her reputation, she must marry.

After being rejected by Harlan Strandhurst, Lady Cleo’s choice of husbands is limited. Plus, her heart still belongs to Harlan. Despite that, her horrible brother gives her no choice but to marry Author Dunway—Harlan’s best friend.

Once married, Author tries everything he can to win her over, only to find that Lady Cleo is still clinging to his best friend. To give her space, Author offers to let her use his family’s country estate.

Will time and distance push them further apart or will Lady Cleo and Author find that love is more than words?

Good story

Liked story. No swearing, no gross and graphic sex. There was Tenderness and Respect. Easy to listen to. Virtual voice was not too bad. I will look for this author again.

OK story

AI voice had little inflection and seemed to misspeak sometimes. Sometimes hard to distinguish the characters and the sentences were frequently punctuated at the wrong times. Not a good thing for an Audible book.

Sweet HEA with interesting story line.

This was my first exposure to the author's work, and a lovely listen for me. I enjoy clean love stories that develop over time, and this definitely filled the bill. Cleo gradually forgot a lost love and grew to appreciate and love the husband who rescued her in more ways than one. Excellent character development and historical details, along with plot twists to hold interest. I also enjoyed the lesser characters and their interactions

The virtual voice is sooo annoying

The virtual voice is awful. It’s nearly monotone, punctuation is read, and words are mispronounced

Repetitive, Predictable & Boring

I truly hoped giving this new-to-me author a patient chance would eventually pay off. Sadly between the unappealing Virtual Voice & lack lustre plot…
It was tortuous to listen & await a less roughly written story! Positively unfortunate.

Virtual narration - awkward and distracting

The story was interesting enough but the virtual narration was awkward and distracting. As the book was short, I listened to it in its entirety but would not in future begin a book with virtual narration.
