Description
Miss Katherine Danvers has always been a wallflower. But now with her family on the brink of financial ruin, she finds herself a desperate wallflower. To save her family, she'll do anything. Luckily, she has the perfect plan....
She'll impress the ton by simply announcing she is engaged to the reclusive and mysterious Duke of Thornton, Alexander Masters, and secure strong matches for her sisters. No one has heard from the duke in years. Surely he'll never find out before her sisters' weddings and she can go back to her own quiet life.
Soon, though, everything is out of control. At first, it's just a few new ball gowns on the duke's accounts. Then it's interviews with reporters eager for gossip. Before she knows it, Katherine has transformed herself into Kitty Danvers, charming and clever belle of the ton - with everyone eager to meet her thankfully absent fiance.
But when the enigmatic Alexander Masters suddenly arrives in the city, dashing and oh so angry, he demands retribution. Except not in the way Katherine expected....
Contains mature themes.

Horrible Narration
The story would have been ok if it had not been for the narrator. The narrator had a very breathy voice, she paused too often and in inappropriate places, and pronounced words like she was trying a fancy British accent, but she just sounded ridiculous. I had to stop listening because it was way too annoying. If you can ignore the narrator, I’d recommend the story.

Cute story
The narrator made it hard to listen. The fluctuation in her voice was annoying and hard to hear. The story was cute though.

OMG!
I was trying to give the narrator's performance a chance. I listened to the sample. That must of been her best , bc I couldn't get past chapter 1. She and the author Stacy Reid are first. I might listen to another of the authors books but never of Mary Sarah's! I don't normally give bad ratings but I should of taken a hint from other reviews.
No! I it's not worth a credit. 😨😭

Good story, horrible narrator.
Please re-record this book with another narrator. The story is wonderful but it's almost painful to listen to. I tried but couldn't finish

Hm
I really liked this premise, and I enjoyed the first third or so. The characters were set up well, and I really enjoyed their introduction to each other. It was such an interesting dynamic to navigate, and I liked the tension the author brought. However, it really fell apart for me in the last third. The Duke in question is disabled and presumed impotent, and I grew increasingly uncomfortable with how that was handled, especially wrt the HEA. There's a lot of "if he just tries hard enough, he'll get past it", which, to be fair, is how it works within the narrative. But given that this is the kind of rhetoric used to dismiss the real limitation of people who have chronic disabilities, it took away from the story for me.
It made it feel like the only route for them to be happy was if the Duke continued to push himself and magically overcame his paralysis to walk again, which was echoed in how his impotence was handled. This could've been a great opportunity to show that a HEA doesn't have to require genetic children or penetrative intercourse, because that's absolutely achievable, but instead it left me feeling very displaced.

Great story terrible narration
This story is amazing but the narrator is absolutely terrible!! She reads so slow and breathy!! I will not listen to any other books that’s has this person narrating. If I didn’t want to find out the ending I would not continue listening.

Cute plot, weird narration
I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this book. while the story and plot were cute although slow in some places, the narration ruined this recording. Mary Sarah placed inflections in odd places on words and in sentences. She pauses in the middle of a sentences which makes for a very weird listening experience. If you can get past the narration, the story is good. recommend the story not the narrator.

I returned it!
The narrator was breathy and too difficult to understand. She was speaking so fast the enunciation was not clear. I couldn't get past the first chapter.

Eine tolle Herz zerreißende romantische Geschichte
Ein bisschen Beauty and the Beast. Eine wunderbare Geschichte - sehr romantisch.
Leider nutzt die Sprecherin eine irritierend sinnliche Stimme für die Erzählung, so dass ich lieber gelesen als gehört habe.

Sehr feinfühlig
Keine Weltliteratur, aber eine erfrischende Geschichte, die die Gefühle beider Protagonisten glaubwürdig darlegt und den Hörer dadurch mitfühlen lässt. Um es kurz zu sagen - ich konnte dieses Buch nicht unterbrechen und habe es bis zu Ende gehört.
Die Sprecherin fand ich hervorragend mit einer außergewöhnlichen Stimme und Begabung.

Schöne Geschichte, anstrengende Sprecherin
Das Buch ist erwartungsgemäß eine nette romantische Unterhaltung. Die Stimmlage der Sprecherin hat mich leider ziemlich irritiert und ich fand es anstrengend ihr zuzuhören, da sie auf mich weitgehend gekünzelt klang.
