A Scandalous Marriage

By: Cathy Maxwell

Narrated by: Muñeca Géigel

To most eyes Leah Carrollton might appear the dutiful debutante, but it takes Devon Marshall less than a minute to feel the enormous pull of a kindred, rebellious soul. At their first meeting, Devon and Leah are about to acknowledge the amazing connection between them when her brother steps in and clarifies their identities. As members of the rival Carrollton and Marshall families, the two can never mix. However, Devon has never met a woman he couldn't seduce, and a bet - with a bit of bravado mixed in - leads him straight to Leah and a scandal that turns the ton upside down.

With a fast-moving story line, strong plot twists, and a good dose of drama, Cathy Maxwell brings a fresh take to the regency genre. Devon has depth beyond that of the usual romance rake, and Leah is neither the stereotypical naive waif nor the spunky but idiotic go-getter. Their realistic character flaws and mature reactions make Leah and Devon a couple you can truly root for.

Refreshing, Unique, Enchanting!

This book is such a gem, deviating from the Regency Romance formula in the most refreshing way. The themes in this book translate to our modern world beautifully and the characters are well-developed in a way that connects the reader emotionally (I was bawling a few times from the struggles and triumphs the characters experienced).

Thank you for such a special journey, Ms. Maxwell. I can’t wait to hear another!

The story is impeccable

Love the story and narrator. The story was well build with great characters. I could not stop listening

Interesting new twist on romance

I couldn't put it down, because you can't predict what will happen next. It also, gives all of us something to think about when dealing with family.

I enjoyed it 

Very good story. excellent narrator. it was the first story I’ve read by this author and it just made me want to read another one by her. 

Satisfying to those with rebel hearts

Loved everything about the book, except the epilogue. Might there be a sequel with a more developed afterward?
