About this listen
Newly widowed and desperate to protect her estate and beloved servants from her malevolent brother-in-law, Martha Russell conceives a daring plan. Or rather, a daring plan to conceive. After all, if she has an heir on the way, her future will be secured. Forsaking all she knows of propriety, Martha approaches her neighbor, a London exile with a wicked reputation, and offers a strictly business proposition: a month of illicit interludes... for a fee.
Theophilus Mirkwood ought to be insulted. Should be appalled. But how can he resist this siren in widow's weeds, whose offer is simply too outrageously tempting to decline? Determined she'll get her money's worth, Theo endeavors to awaken this shamefully neglected beauty to the pleasures of the flesh-only to find her dead set against taking any enjoyment in the scandalous bargain. Surely she can't resist him forever. But could a lady's sweet surrender open their hearts to the most unexpected arrival of all... love?

A different take on a romance story
This was a more unusual take on a romance story, but different and enjoyable, the characters' change as the story progresses, I enjoyed it.

Wet Whet Wow
Fabulous narration, perfect for this tale. English as spoke by the English elucidates the whims and whimsies of the intelligent MCs in hilarious fashion performing a charming and outrageous romp with such premise, unexpected and unencountered in this genre previously.
A cross between Georgette Heyer and Rosemary Rodgers in the details of farming and the purchase of seed, poor laws and enclosure of land. Serious and saucy, but practical.
I will for sure seek out other books by this author read by this narrator.
A TRUE FIND, V ENJOYABLE

Too much sex, not enough tension
I wanted like it and there was promise at the start but then all they did was bonk and it became boring. Could have done with more of a build up. Couldn't finish it, might go back one day.
