What do you do when your father has
lost everything and you must sell on his death leaving you and your mother with
no income, and no place to live? How about if you are a man who wants the
better things in life that only a wife in high standing can give you. The
answer to this question is to marry into money or position which both Morganna
and Sloan do. One wants to make sure her mother is taken care of the other
wants a position that only old money can give him. Do not be taken in by his
smooth gentle charm he has a secret if it come out might harm his marriage.
Ms. Slade narration was very good she really put the emotion into the
story without going overboard. Some of her character voices are close to others
but for the most part you have no trouble knowing who is talking and what they
are feeling. There were no background noises
if any breaks were taken I could not tell. It is a great clean, fun audio that
I really enjoyed. Sloan comes off cool, at times cold and easy going. Not much
really gets to him. Whereas Morganna tries her best be do the same she isn’t
able to pull it off. The narrator has no trouble deploying these qualities to
her listeners. There was no repeating of
words. It is a very clean, clear audio that is very enjoyable.
The author puts a few twists in that I didn’t see coming. I did work
out who was doing it and the why but at times I was a little unsure. I loved
the mother she is cool but sees more than anyone things. I really liked this characters she is sneaky.
Morganna I have mixed feeling about I liked her and her wit the way she comes
back is great. She isn’t a snob but a very caring person. You know almost from
the start that she didn’t marry for herself but her mother and that Sloan more
or less blackmailed her into it. She didn’t really grab me and pull me in like
some of the characters did. Sloan was a little too cool or cold for me. Nothing
seems to get to him not even when things happen to his business he doesn’t get
excited or loss his tempter. I just don’t know too many people who wouldn’t
show some signs of what they are going through even in private. The fire marshal
is very surprising he had me going for a little while. I really liked the plot
and the characters just some more than others. I do not think the author really
gave a good reason why the person did what they did to the business. Where all that hate came from blew my mind.
It was a fun read that does pull you in at times it is funny and other
times heartbreaking. Very clean and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the touch of suspense and the
danger the author puts into this story.The romance has a nice buildup very
smooth and easy. I did enjoy it and
plan to listen to more of this author and narrators work.
