About this listen
A rivalry erupts into passion in Regency London. Miss Gillian Harris’s trouble begins when she makes a scandalous appearance at a public masquerade ball. The trustee of her fortune, the wealthy and powerful Marquis of Landover, declares her brother, Sir Avery, an irresponsible guardian, and moves the siblings into his own fashionable London mansion.
Chafing at the Marquis’ careful monitoring of her conduct, the audacious Gillian devises an inspired plan: She will distract her watchful protector by presenting him with suitable candidates for courtship. But, despite her best efforts at matchmaking, the fires of jealousy begin to grow and Gillian fears she might succumb to a much more scandalous temptation: seducing the handsome Marquis herself...

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this story and found Gillian’s antics somewhat amusing. She got up to the occasional mischief, was headstrong, but actually tried to be a good friend and hold her tongue when she realised the other person was right. Impressive for a 19yo. As such, I liked her.
Her brother had a volcanic temper and had slapped her (obviously not the first time). The threat of ‘boxing ears’ as a form of punishment if ever she stepped out of line sounded as if common practice of the day. Granted this sort of discipline (against the young female leads) is rarely mentioned in historical romances but I guess these stories can’t always be ribbons and Gunther’s ices (or rainbows and unicorns). I am not condoning this at all, however, given how misogynistic and forceful men of previous centuries could be towards their womenfolk, I can imagine this would happen.
The Marquis on the other hand was surprisingly gentle and reasonable at times. I liked that these two ended up together.
If you’re not overly 21st century PC, then I recommend this to you.

A bit too much Domestic violence.
The heroine is a bit annoying: actually most of the main characters are not nice. Her brother always threaten to beat her up (and he did hit her) but rewarded with a love interest.
The love interest is controlling and unreasonable.
Yes it is probably quite right for the time but when I read romance I want to read nice stuff not cringing and the threat of violence from the so-called loved one.
Clean romance, nothing much happening romance wise actually.
