À propos de cet audio
In the eyes of London Society, Gillian Phelps is suitable enough. Though the ton whispers about her change of residence, any speculation remains just that: ballroom gossip. No one—not even the other Huntresses, the group of ladies she calls her dearest friends—knows that she is harboring a devastating family secret. Gillian has become adept at hiding the reality of her circumstances, but the close quarters of a house party will test her ability to conceal the crushing truth. And with so many people to deceive, the late arrival of another guest is a most unwelcome surprise.
Despite his standing as a gentleman of the ton, in truth, Scott Sarvol possesses little more than two debt-riddled estates. When an opportunity arises to survey one of his properties, he travels north, only to find himself an unwitting guest at Artemis Jonquil’s house party. He is warmly welcomed by all—except the aloof Miss Gillian Phelps. But when Scott proves himself unexpectedly helpful in a crisis, his acquaintance with Gillian shifts from wariness to something warmer.
As both her charade and her feelings for Scott deepen, Gillian realizes that the truth could spell not only a devastating fall from Society but also a shattered heart.
©2022 Covenant Communications, Inc. (P)2022 Covenant Communications, Inc.I feel conflicted writing a review about a story from an author I like. But during the listening, I found myself more making notes about the review than with the plot itself.
Here's how it went: I hadn’t found a good book to listen to for a while, so I went back to authors I know to find something.
This book never caught my attention, primarily because of the cover and then the plot. There was something really odd and unnatural about the cover—the model, her pose, her expression—all made me feel something akin to discomfort. But since I wasn’t finding anything else to read, and noticed that the only review was five stars, I decided to give it a shot.
Sometimes I’d listen to it while doing something else or just before going to bed, but it never hooked me. My mind would wander, and I wouldn’t rewind to catch what I missed. This is the first audiobook where I didn’t listen to the ending and didn’t bother to find out how it concluded.
The prose was beautiful, as the author always delivers, and that's the one star I gave. However, the plot bored me to tears, and the characters were unattractive, tedious, and unappealing. The narrator had a good voice and could create distinct character sounds, but her presentation was sometimes cringy.
It all began with the cover.
