The Viscount Can Wait

Reluctant Brides, Book 2

By: Marie Tremayne

Narrated by: Danielle Cohen

After five years away, Lady Eliza Cartwick isn't relishing returning to the whirl of the London season. But the young widow knows to ensure the best future for herself and her young daughter, Rosa, she must remarry. If only Lord Evanston, the dashing rogue who has haunted her dreams since she was 16, didn't insist on distracting her with his searing looks and lingering touches at the most inconvenient times....

Thomas, Lord Evanston, has wanted Eliza since her engagement ball all those years ago. His best friend's sister has constantly been out of reach...until now. The forbidden has always tempted him, but when Thomas realizes he wants the object of his fantasies for far more than a dalliance, he must convince her that he's not just a rake; he's a viscount who's worth the wait.

Contains mature themes.

Just AWFUL. DIDN’T START UNTIL CHAPTER 12. ARCHAIC LANGUAGE WITH TORTURED SYNONYMS. Became funny. Shame on the editor.

The one idea for the theme was shoved into the washer and agitated repeatedly for 20 chapters. If actual people were this stupid, the species would not have bested the era of the Neanderthal. Had it performed at 2.5 speed just to finish. There was no character that was likable. Not even the child. It takes a really offensive performance voice to ruin the part of a 4 year old child. The characters just get worse as they get older. Spare yourself. Wish I had.
