About this listen
England, 1820. To gain a certain marquess’ notice, Lady Albina Beauchamp aims to win the derby. What she hadn’t planned for is the price that handsome Edmund White asks in payment to train her to race: each lesson for a kiss.
A first-place finish isn’t the only thing worth racing for. Lady Albina Beauchamp is in love with the marquess of Satterfield. Unfortunately, his only interest is in horses, and he doesn’t know she exists. But when the marquess confesses he will bestow his undying admiration on the jockey racing the winning horse at Emberton Derby, Albina sets out to win his affections by training to race.
Mr. Edmund White is a master groomsman for the earl of Amhurst in line for a viscountcy, should he abandon his passion for horses and become a respectable sheep owner. But horses are his love - until he meets Lady Albina and her silly notions of racing. When she affirms that she will enter the derby with or without his assistance, Edmund not only instructs his student in racing but in seduction as well.
For Albina, a first-place finish isn’t the only thing at stake. She must decide whether to take her place in society - or follow her heart and love a groom.

Interesting premise but lacklustre
I got halfway, stopped. then revisted it 2 weeks later. I wanted to love this but couldn't.
I didn't think much of Albina, and rated Edmund marginally better. I think it was the boring repetition of facts; whether inner monologue or otherwise. Yes, she's the daughter of an Earl, yes he's 'only a groom', and yes the Marquis is titled, wealthy and very handsome. Zzzz...
The Earl' was likeable but i was confounded by his selective amnesia at the races (listeners will know what I mean) and felt disappointed that the event itself was a bit of a deflated soufflé. It came and went too quickly with not much build-up or excitement. Just because it's narrated with excitable inflections doesn't make it so.
If this story was tighter with less repetition and greater complexity, it would have been a few hours shorter and a whole lot more interesting. IMHO.
