About this listen
The Duke of Malmesbury’s daughters discover that passion can derail even the best-laid matrimonial plans.
Lady Cecily is known as the “Ice Princess” because of her cool blond beauty and her refusal to wed any of her several eligible suitors. She has no choice but to obey her father, the Duke, who wants Cecily to marry the one man who can assure the family’s social and financial positions: The arrogant and infuriating Viscount Ravenwood, who has been her enemy since childhood. A marriage of convenience is all she expects from their pairing - she has no idea that Ravenwood conceals a deep secret, or just how determined he will be to claim her heart.
Cecily’s sister, Lady Brittany, is relieved that she doesn’t have to take part in the husband hunt in London’s marriage mart - though as a duke’s daughter, she is considered a prime catch. Comfortably engaged to amiable Lord Anthony Faringdon, she knows that though they may not be a love match, she and Tony will get along just fine - that is, until she meets his best friend, the darkly handsome Marquess of Cheriton, whose eyes pierce her very soul. Brittany’s comfortable life and perfect plans will be overturned by her increasingly passionate feelings for the irresistibly charming Marquess.

Enjoyable
Well written and good themes. Narrator's interpretation of characters enhanced the delivery of the story.

Not particularly likeable daughters
The Duke had a handful of daughters, the only lovely and remotely tolerable one being Brittany (MFC of the second book in this series) and potentially Amelie - the youngest.
Cecily’s story had a good plot but I just couldn’t warm to her as I thought her thinking skewed. As such, I didn’t enjoy her story.
I also found Brittany’s story frustrating. Despite her sweet countenance, it was hard to swallow her betrothal to an ill-tempered manchild and his constant fuss over her impetuous self-absorbed 16yo sister. Love prevails, as so it should but wrapping it up neatly in a bow to conclude her story was way to saccharine for my taste buds.
As such, this wasn’t my cup of tea.

NOT Prodigious!
Not badly written but boring. The language and situations are a tad far fetched for regency which is irritating, however if you are bending convention then why not add some humour or cheekiness, but alas it is lacking.
Word of the book "Prodigious" God forbid that we use another synonyms such as marvelous or wonderful even amazing would have fit occasionally. 😳
Helen Stern did a Marvelous 😉(see what I did there) job of bringing the book to life with her narration.

The Duke’s daughters are hoydens.
The story began well but soon deteriorated into high melodrama. For all Amanda Scott holds forth about the history of Almacks and other social aspects of the Regency period, she completely ignores the accepted behavior expected of young women by society. The Duke’s daughters are law unto themselves and pay only lip service to the wishes of their parents. From following a known felon to his den in the worst parts of London on foot and alone at night in the rain to harboring the mistress of the Turkish ambassador so she can see some of London society, these headstrong women play fast and loose with the men in their lives. Speaking of which, Lord Carringdon is a bad tempered fellow who largely ignores his fiancée when he is not castigating her for her sister’s antics. Why any woman would endure such treatment and put up with the trouble he causes within the family I cannot imagine. This story becomes sillier the longer it goes on. Disappointing.
