Wow! What a wonderful regency romance story. So well written, I wasn’t sure who Lilly would end up with out of all of the male characters she encounters. I even changed allegiances from chapter to chapter. The audiobook narrated by Davina Porter is delightful. Complete with British accents and brogues, Porter brings this story to life with a versatile array of distinct vocal characters. The flow was easy to understand and the pacing held true. I enjoyed listening to this story and narrator at a speed of 1.2. This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.
