Great storyline

I just kept waiting for them to communicate but if they had it would have been a novella.

Sweet Chesney Romance Story

I really liked this story and the two main characters. Lady Margery was level headed and sweet whilst the Marquess of Edgecombe was delightful. A light listen. Enjoyable and would listen to this again.

Really?

Spoiler alert! The so called male protagonist was super daft throughout the entire book and infidelity in any time period is wrong.

main character is terrible

I can't even stand to listen to the rest of this. The main character is stupid, selfish, and spoiled. I know she's going to end up with the guy she wants and she doesn't deserve him, she treats men like they're not people. I know I'm talking about characters that aren't real but I listen to these for an escape, not to be annoyed and reminded of stupid, selfish people abundant in real life.
