About this listen

In a one-woman war against scandal...
Lord Oliver Stonenden gets whatever he wants - except the beautiful and headstrong Katharine Daltry. Katharine is the only woman who has ever denied him, and he cannot forget her. When he sees a chance to aid her cause by seducing a troublesome countess who is threatening Katharine's family, he rises to the occasion.

Her heart is the battleground.
Katharine Daltry concentrates on developing her skill at painting and avoids Polite Society, not least of all the handsome, heartless Lord Stonenden, whose proposal she flatly refused five years ago. But when her country cousin appeals to her for help, Katharine quickly finds herself at the very center of both scandal and controversy. And it seems a heartless rake is just the ally she needs...

Charming story ..

It is hard to workout the worst bits as there were so many. The narrator's portrail of the companion is painful. I would want to kill her or commit suicide, rather than live with a hypocritical wet drip. There lots of set pieces and overacting by all the characters. The heroine servants are useless and let any one to enter. To set up the next pieces, you have someone entering her house, finding her painting. Why set a story in a time the author obviously dislikes and has no respect for? All the characters are so, so childish, stamping "their feeting" and throwing temper tantrums.

Childish
