Love and Lady Lovelace

By: Marion Chesney

Narrated by: Charlotte Anne Dore

A lord and a lady marry for money in this historical romance by bestselling author Marion Chesney.

When young widow Lady Lovelace realized she had been swindled to near-bankruptcy by her curmudgeonly cousin, she knew she would have to marry again for money.

These were the very thoughts of Lord Philip, who had nothing between him and destitution but his small army pension. And so these two attractive fortune-hunters somehow found each other and, before long, popped into marriage - and into the bridal chamber - only to discover they were both virtually penniless.

What a diabolical situation! What would they do now?

Cute

Another easy, light one from M Chesney. I'm used to this narrator from other books and simply listen to her odd emphasis and staccato on a fast speed. However, there were several characters and would be couples toward the end to keep track of that sometimes I had to slow it down to stay pace with who was who.

It was okay. But terrible narrator.

I can’t stress enough how bad of a narrator Charlotte Anne Dore is. I think it is terrible for one thing that she will stop in the middle of a sentence then pick it back up again. She is terrible with men’s voices. Especially the main male character. He is supposed to be charming. Therefore he should have a charming voice. But instead he sounds like someone you want to run away from not run to. She would be great however for reading to kids.

No chemistry

The plot held such promise, but there was no chemistry between the main characters. I liked them when they were not together, but when they were together, they brought out the worst in each other.
