Lord Salisbury's Ledgers on How to Woo a Wife

Love from London, Book 2

By: Jill M Beene

Narrated by: Caroline Parker

England, 1825. A man whose head has never been turned…

The Marquess of Salisbury loves women. After all, they’re pleasing to look at, they smell nice, and most of them raptly agree with everything he has to say… Why in the name of chilled syllabub would Percy be in a hurry to choose one and settle down?

A lady who desires the power to choose…

Miss Adelaide Warrington didn’t want to be put in charge, but now that she is, she certainly isn’t going to flippantly hand the responsibility over to the first high-handed Lord who walks through the door… Especially when said Lord seems very used to getting his own way.

If she just wouldn’t make it so difficult to woo her… If he would just stop trying to make so many changes… Thrust together under unwanted circumstances, Percy and Adelaide must decide whether true love is worth surmounting the obstacles threatening to keep them apart.

Lord Salisbury’s Ledgers on How to Woo a Wife is a clean, inter-connected stand-alone regency romance with suspense and humor. If you like strong women, fast-paced action, slow burn romance, ridiculous gifts, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love this romantic comedy romance!

Fun & funny

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. It’s a fun, light, clean romance. Percy is charming and delightful; Adelaide, however, was less so. She wasn’t unlikable but her insecurities and constant denial became tedious. Overall, though, the book was quite good and I would definitely recommend.

The narrator does very well with the accents and voices. She mispronounces many words and that is distracting but not enough to take away from the story.

Didn’t care for narrator

I enjoyed the first book in this series very much, however, I just couldn’t stand Percy’s voice in this narrative. I know it was the same in the last one, but he wasn’t the main character. The narrator makes him sound like a stougy old man. I quit the narrative and just read the book.
