Mistress to the Marquis

By: Margaret McPhee

Narrated by: Jilly Bond

She may grace his bed, but she will never wear his ring.

They whisper her name in the ballroom's shadows - the marquis' mistress! It will take all of Alice Sweetly's renowned acting skills to play this part: Smile until it no longer hurts, until they believe your lie, until you believe. Pretend he means nothing. If the Marquis of Razeby thinks he can let his mistress go easily, he is so very wrong. Each night she appears before a rapturous Covent Garden audience, taunting him with her beauty. But Razeby must marry, and while Alice could grace his bed she can never grace his arm.

I liked the first books in this series even though the light bondage and spanking were off-putting. I still liked the books because they were original and clever. I think this one might also be a good book, but the narration is bad. I tried hard to get used to the overwrought reading and painful attempt at a man's voice, but I couldn't do it. I did not finish listening to the book and will have to read it for myself before (or if) I go on to the next book in the series. I am adding this narrator to my do-not-buy list.
