Love in the Bargain

Women of Worth, Book 1

De: Kasey Stockton

Narrado por: Mary Sarah

A vow to remain unwed and a bargain designed to find her a husband. What could possibly go wrong?

Elsie and her two best friends made a childhood vow to never marry.

But when Elsie begins her first season in London, her mother presents her with an irresistible bargain: if she says yes to each and every man's invitations and still remains unattached by the end of the season, she will receive her inheritance and become a free woman.

She is thrown into the spotlight by increasing attention in the newspaper gossip articles, and keeping her end of the bargain seems impossible - especially when her best friend's tyrant of a brother, Lord Cameron, begins to make advances that Elsie literally cannot refuse.

The gossip grows increasingly malicious, leaving destroyed reputations and broken homes in its wake, and Elsie can't seem to escape its focus. But it's her own blossoming feelings for Lord Cameron that pose the greater threat. If she can't keep him out of her heart, she's sure to compromise the bargain, break her vow, and lose her one shot at freedom for good.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I loved the story line and seeing strong women grapple with love and place in society. I enjoyed the reader’s voice.

Great story

This author wrote a great story. It kept me very interested. The narrator was difficult to listen to

Lovely plot

I enjoyed this book. The plot and characters were genuine and worthwhile. I have enjoyed all books I’ve read/listened to by Kasey Stockton.

Great Story

At first, I didn't enjoy the narrator. This caused me to stop listening for a couple of months. Recently, I gave it a second try and the narrator grew on me. I ended up really enjoying both the narration and the story. This story had unique elements of mystery that I found quite intriguing and the romance was very enjoyable.

Gossip

Love it. Never say never! Love comes at unexpected time even when when we try to stop it. But listen to the others reason clears the way for love.

Liked the book, reader was distracting

Clean romance, interesting storyline and character relationships. Overall, I enjoyed it. But, the reader seemed like she was trying to be whimsical while she read, she put awkward emphasis on some words or in the middle of some sentences, and she would over emphasize the end sounds of some words. She did do well with character voices and inflection within dialogue though, so once I got used to the way she read it wasn't so bad.

The narrator needs to have linguistic lessons

The story was very interesting and kept my interest. It is the inbuilt reason I'm finishing this book! The narrator is absolutely ridiculous with her pronunciations of the words spoken. Why can't she speak like a normal person????? Not only does the narrator slurp her words but she doesn't even pronounce them correctly. It is extremely difficult to understand her. Her pauses are also too long. I tried speeding up the narration but it only made understanding the narrator worse. Use a different person please. Mary Sarah needs a new career.

Worth a try.

I enjoyed this clean love story. There are a few twists that were unexpected. If you are listening to the audiobook, you will need to up the speed to be able to enjoy it.

Coping with the Ton

What can you do if your parents are a match not made in heaven? When you are talking about the Ton that opinion is a given.

Kept me on the edge of my seat!

I liked everything about this book… regency romance, the narrator, the story line, the characters- everything!!
