About this listen

The Honourable Catherine Elford - Kitty - is presented with an awful choice. Either she is cast off, penniless, by her stepbrother, or she marries the handsome Earl of Ledbury, who would be perfect were he not a serial womaniser. Ledbury has only ever courted other men’s wives and does not want a wife of his own. However, Kitty’s generous dowry, which will keep him from selling his beloved racehorses, proves too tempting.

Kitty believes her only chance of survival is to make her head rule her heart. For his part, Ledbury has spotted a spark in Kitty and sets out to woo her. But as Kitty begins to succumb to his seduction, Ledbury’s past starts to catch up with them.

Not an enjoyable listen.

I am a big fan of Georgette Heyer and think the author may have been attempting a more modern, slightly more explicit, dare I say sexier, take on the Regency Romance. Heyer did not need to be adopt this approach towards sex or the heroine's 'monthly cycles' because she kept the story going with plenty of action and the characters were fully fleshed out. In The Devil You Know, the main characters seemed petulant and immature where Heyer's are usually drawn with humour and are brave, witty and full of heart. This book began well and ended with a bit of action, but the middle was a drag. There were two minor characters in the book, whose story might have been better expanded upon; the hero's best friend and Lucy, who were, potentially, interesting people. It is a shame, because I think there is a big market for well written Regency Romance.
