Summary
When Lord Greene wagers his daughter's hand in marriage in a card game, no one is less surprised the woman herself. The only thing that shocks Olive is that the man that he has gambled her away to is none other than the Duke of Ruin.
Rumors abound that the Sixth Duke of Everleigh callously murdered his late wife and killed her lover in a duel - and now Olive is to become his bride.
Ruan Ashford took one look at Olive Greene and knew that he had to have her in his bed. The beautiful, auburn-haired temptress will make a perfect Duchess; there's only one problem - his new wife despises him.
When a chance arises for Olive to disappear, she readily grabs hold of it, and soon, the Duke of Ruin is hunting the Cornish countryside for his runaway bride. When he finds her, can he convince her that he's not the dreadful villain the world thinks him to be and that his love for her is real?

Kiwi opinion
Story line good but sadly let down by female narrator! Her voice too loud and not enough tonality or softness. I would not buy another book she narrated.

Regency romance
I loved the narrator and thought she suited this type of book.
As for the book it was slightly different in that it had a mystery and I guessed who did it completely wrong!
Would highly recommend this series!

Shouting is not narration
Female narrator is so persistently shrill that I gave up. Story as expected for the genre

If you can get passed the piercing voice.
The voice of the female narrator is grating to say the least. Everytime I wish to listen to the book, I find myself cringing at the idea of having to listen to that voice again. I just wish all books read by these two could be given to someone else, as the stories are not bad. The male no doubt thinks his voice is sexy, but the pair just make the words sound stupid. Every word is over emphasised, and made into a big drama.
The Hero is said to have murdered his first wife, so having met the heroine decides to marry her.
Her father loses her to hero over a card game.
The Heroine behaviour is not right for the time story occurs. So forgetting that fact, she manages to escape her husband.
The story was laid out at the beginning, she wanted to run, but want him to chase her.
She ends up in a house, where intelligent/spinster/unusual women live. As previously stated, written for a parallel universe.
