" I really had a hard time with this one, though usually I like Lorraine Heath. I can't understand it, her regencies just don't grab me emotionally the same way her American Westerns do. But, I think the main reason why I didn't enjoy this book was that I listened to it on audio. Big mistake. The narrator, Susan Ericksen, made the heroine's voice much older than someone in their mid-twenties and I didn't care for her version of Jack's voice either. I thought Anthony Ferguson was going to do Jack's voice for the most part (as he is credited as one of the narrator's) but he only did the voice for Jack twice in the prologue and the epilogue! The rest was all by Ericksen. I cannot understand why they did it that way, I was very put off by it. It actually really ruined the book for me! Plus, Olivia and Jack were both so prickly for most of the book, and then miraculously falling in lust and so forth, I just rolled my eyes over their storyline. I really couldn't believe how Olivia just let him control her so much as well, she is a duchess after all! Show some back bone! Too bad, for Jack was interesting in the first book of this series and I had high hopes for his story. Oh well, c'est la vie.
