Jason, Earl of Coventry, needs to discreetly locate his unwanted and abandoned bride among London society to request an annulment. Too bad he can't remember what she looks like because he was blind drunk at his arranged wedding and hasn't see her since.
Newly arrived from the country for the Season, Lady Olivia is appalled to discover that her own husband Lord Coventry doesn't even recognize her. She's not about to tell the arrogant arse she his wife. Instead, she flirts with him by night and has her modiste send her mounting bills to him by day.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, except Lady Olivia finds her husband nearly irresistible.

Reasonable Story. Blah Narrator
The story had a decent flow & a fairly interesting & amusing plot. The narrator however left a lot to be desired. Her portrayal of characters left them sounding whiny, oily or gasping. In addition she proves there is such a thing as too much exclamation when it comes to her reading.

Great read
Crazy how things regarding marriage were made by parents and how they could live as if not married as long as you were discreet. Funny story with lively story line. Throughly enjoyed it reading this book.

Average story & narration
The story was okay overall but felt a bit rushed. I would have liked to have gotten to know the male lead better. There wasn't much depth to him.
The introduction of a new plot out of the blue right at the end was strange and totally unnecessary.
The narrator did well enough distinguishing between the various characters (male and female) but her portrayal of servants or tenants was really annoying. She had them either speaking very slowly or sounding really whiney.

Enjoyable story - highly recommended
I loved this story. It was very entertaining. The narration was excellent and brought the characters to life. Jason was a cad and Olivia was awesome. Am glad she gave him a run for his money - literally!
I recall that this is book 1 of the Marriage Mart Mayhem series (7 books) and probably my favourite of the five I’ve listened to so far.

Enjoyable and humourous
This was my first book from this author. I enjoyed the storyline and how the heroine led her husband on a merry chase to earn her love. it was very entertaining and quite humorous in parts. The narrator took a bit of getting used to at first but she improved as the book progressed.
I recommend this book to lovers of historical romance and I look forward to listening to more of this author's works.

Basic and lacklustre
I'll start with the narration... bad.
Billie Fulford-Brown narrates this book with a style best suited to a kindergarten picture book. An excruciating overemphasis on words that don't require emphasis, and simply awful representation of the supporting characters who are all made to sound like whimpering half-wits.
The story itself feels half-hearted and a bit slapped together. Jason is not a likeable person - the kind of guy who punches his best friend in the nose for laughing at him, and who gets his "elusive" wife drunk so he can bed her.
The whole thing feels basic and I'm really glad it was free because I'd feel ripped off if I'd paid for it.

Gross
Bit too much "resistance" from the female lead in the whole story to feel comfortable. The "love interest" (I use this term VERY loosely) gets her drunk to consummate the marriage. Just has an overall ick feel for me. Nothing likeable about the LI in the least, he's just an a-hole with the temperament of a 15yo who doesn't get his way.

Awful narrator
I couldn’t even get through the first chapter. The narrator is awful and almost sounds like it’s being narrated by a computer instead of a real person. Given I didn’t get far into the book, I can’t review the story but I liked the storyline enough that I will buy the book and read it myself. I feel bad for the author as the narrator really lets the book down.
