To Win a Lady’s Heart

Landon Sisters Series, Book 1

By: Ingrid Hahn

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

England, 1811. When John Merrick, the Earl of Corbeau, is caught in a locked storeroom with Lady Grace, he has but one choice—marry her. He cannot bear to tarnish any woman's reputation, least of all Lady Grace's.

Lady Grace Landon will do anything to help her mother and sisters, crushed and impoverished by her father's disgrace. But throwing herself into the arms of her dearest friend's older brother to trap him in marriage? Never.

Contains mature themes.

So annoying

The conflict and solution was evident immediately but beat like a dead horse for 9 hours of listening torture. If I didn’t have an issue not finishing a book I don’t think I would have made it to the end.

Narrator was great.

Good story

I can't stand it when women are so stubborn that they work against themselves.

Female Lead too hard headed

Poor Male lead...
FL is too hardheaded and is not decisive she frustrates me so

GOOD

This was an interesting love story. The characters were believable and complex. The only thing that got redundant was the long drawn out ending . Female lead took way too long coming around to finally accepting the proposal. Narration was good also.

OK

There wasn’t anything wrong with this book, exactly. It just seemed sort of childlike with shallow characters.
The conflict, i.e., the h’s reluctance to marry the H due to her late father’s misbehavior, seemed contrived and not very believable.
I don’t know if my impression of the story was due to the narrator or the writing. Marion Hussey also narrates some of Grace Calloway’s HRs. With Callaway’s books, I have the same impression of the story being childish and the characters lacking depth. I wonder if any of those books would have engendered a more positive response in me if they have been narrated by someone like Justine Eyre or Rosalyn Landor. I’m not sure.
