Story
After five years of tracking and capturing spies on English soil, Philip Jonquil, Earl of Lampton, is in pursuit of his last quarry. But at a traveler’s inn, he encounters an unexpected and far more maddening foe: Sorrel Kendrick, a young lady who is strikingly pretty, shockingly outspoken, and entirely unimpressed with him. Indeed, Sorrel cannot believe the nerve of this gentleman, who rudely accuses her of theft and insults her feminine dignity. Doubly annoyed when they both end up at a party hosted by mutual friends, Philip and Sorrel privately declare war on one another.

Story
When Crispin, Lord Cavratt, thoroughly and scandalously kisses a serving woman in the garden of a country inn, he assumes the encounter will be of no consequence. But he couldn’t be more mistaken - the maid is not only a lady of birth, she’s the niece of a very large, exceptionally angry gentleman, who claims Crispin has compromised his niece beyond redemption. The dismayed young lord has no choice but to marry Miss Catherine Thorndale, who lacks both money and refinement and assumes all men are as vicious as her guardian uncle.

Publisher's Summary
When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses - and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he's offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger.
Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke's castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul. But the Duke's steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride. With caring persistence, Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke's armor and reach the man beneath. Yet, he cannot tolerate such exposure, and his repeated rejections take their toll. But when grave danger arises, the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without.

An Enchanting Regency Gem
Eeeeeepppp!!! I'm in a Regency daze of epic proportions. How is it that I haven't read a Sarah M. Eden book before???? She has written a bunch of swoonilicious novels, including 14 Regencies! This is me hyperventilating over 8 years of missing out! Gah! Time for a fast and furious game of catch-up!
Fainting couches, lace fans and smelling salts are definitely necessary accoutrements for this reading journey. Stock up and be prepared to be charmed by witty banter and the social graces of the day...well, maybe not so much when it comes to the Duke who has a somewhat beastly persona. In fact, I would actually classify this as a fairy tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
Disfigured in boyhood, Adam hides his heart behind a thick armor of indifference. He doesn't need anyone. Especially a bride. So, though he begrudgingly accepts Persephone into his home, he bars her from his life. Or tries to. Persephone can be quite a force when necessary -- the perils of being the eldest sibling of a motherless brood. Love how this beauty's gentle spirit proves stronger than her Beast's gruff stoicism!
An enchanting Regency gem.

The narrator :(
I am a firm believer that if a story is set in England and the characters are English that should be reflected by the narrator. Her (lack of) accent was distracting and pedantic. The heroine (who the narrator portrayed as pathetic, weak and childlike) had a terrible accent that faded until, by the end of the book, she was American. I feel like she put more effort into the hero’s accent but it wasn’t much better. The story was fine, slow and predictable, but then there are only so many ways one can wring out a “Beauty and the Beast” trope. I also didn’t buy it as a Regency romance (not even because 1805 is technically the Georgian period). It was anachronistic in language and detail and even if you want to overlook all that the romance aspect is…slow in showing up. Overall it was just alright. I hope the movie is better.
