Lady Beauchamp's Proposal

Scandalous Regency Widows, Book 1

A runaway countess finds love when she least expects it . . . but she can't hide from her past forever.

Elizabeth, Lady Beauchamp, fears for her life. When she discovers her dissolute and long-estranged husband has syphilis—and he wants to beget an heir no matter the cost—she flees to a remote part of Scotland to begin a new life as the widowed governess, Mrs. Beth Eliott at Eilean Tor Castle.

When Mrs. Eliott unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep, the reclusive and recently widowed Marquess of Rothsburgh is both irritated and intrigued. No longer in need of a governess—his young daughter now resides with his sister's family in Edinburgh—he proposes the beautiful widow fill a position of a different kind . . .

Torn between staying true to her marriage vows and her wanton attraction to the devilishly handsome marquess, Elizabeth struggles against the temptation to become his mistress. But living a lie is not easy when you have fallen in love. And secrets always have a way of coming out . . .

Contains mature themes.

Not The Usual Storyline

I'm only a couple of hours into this story and I'm impressed so far. This story doesn't follow the usual format that's easily recognizable within the first few minutes. The only obvious negative for me is the narrator's flat voice. However her voice is much better than the screeching voices of some narrator's of this genre. Many times I choose stories because of the narrator's voice which can help me fall asleep.
I was somewhat disappointed that the MFC made a couple of decisions that seemed out of line with her basic character values. Overall A Good storyline.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

This HR novel is a truly beautiful, sweet love story. But, your heat will ache, and ache and ache all the way until the very end…. So it is beautiful, bittersweet and then finally relief.
The narrator is also terrific!

Wonderful story and excellent narrator!

The story was captivating and the narrator made the book extra easy to listen to. Loved it and will look for more from this author!

Just Sad…a downer

Too much plot focused on uncomfortable topics and actions.
99.9% of storyline is too sad….too much.
Narration was fine.

Original storyline keeps your interest

Loved the characters and storyline and plot twists. The narration was very good, but too slow. I suggest playing it at 1.2 speed. I will be exploring the next available recording in this series.
