Slow start but then engaging

After a slow beginning, this story then kicked up a gear and I was hooked. I live in England (but am American) and follow rugby, so that was a definite hook for me. The plot was interesting and thankfully didn’t use the device of an evil love rival spouting poison in the heroine’s ear about the hero. I recommend the book.

And I recommend it before giving these minor but peevish comments. The dialogue of the English male character, well, especially his repetitive use of the endearment “love”, and “aye”, nearly drove me wild. There are always exceptions of course, but people with an accent like the male character don’t use the word “aye”. They say “yes” or “yeah” or “uh-huh” or “right”. “Aye” is used by folk with pronounced local accents - Scottish, Yorkshire, somewhere north of the imaginary line around the middle of the UK.

And, just for info - the American usage of the term “2 baths” to mean 2 full bathrooms is not understandable to those on the other side of “the pond” (Really,? Why use that phrase.) Okay, we might know what “2 baths” means it’s f we’ve looked at real estate listings in the US, but the MMC wouldn’t say it. There were one or two other inaccuracies in language, but to be fair, that’s very little in the scheme of things. If, like me, you are on the other side of “the pond” it grates a little, but still, this was a good enjoyable listen. The narrators did a fabulous job! Well done!
