About this listen
From powerful love to sizzling passion, Julia London always delivers an incomparable listening experience. Returning to her acclaimed Cabot Stepsisters series, we meet an earl who can only be tamed by one wicked lady.
A plan born of desperation
Once the toast of society, Grace Cabot and her sisters now await the shame of losing high status and fine luxuries upon the death of the Earl of Beckington. The dire circumstances are inevitable unless, of course, Grace's wicked plot to seduce a wealthy viscount into marriage goes off without a single hitch. But once a stolen embrace with the wrong man leads her to be discovered in the arms of Jeffrey, the Earl of Merryton, her plan takes a most unexpected - and scorching - twist - and altered by passion. Governed by routine and ruled by duty, Jeffrey had no desire for a wife before he succumbed to Grace's temptation. Though his golden-haired, in-name-only bride is the definition of disorder, he can't resist wanting her in every way. But once her secrets meet his, society might consider their lives to be ruined beyond repair - while Jeffrey might just see it as a new beginning.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Story
Like all the Bedwyn men, Aidan has a reputation for cool arrogance. But this proud nobleman also possesses a loyal, passionate heart - and it is this fierce loyalty that has brought Colonel Lord Aidan to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier's request. Having promised to comfort and protect the man's sister, Aidan never expected to find a headstrong, fiercely independent woman who wants no part of his protection, nor did he expect the feelings this beguiling creature would ignite in his guarded heart.

I give this 3.5
3.5 really, thanks to Rosalyn Landor's narration. This was a good book. Not quite a "spend your last Audible credit" book but a good book. The characters are flawed and that's not a bad thing in a romance. Jeffrey's OCD may be a bit overdone but it's probably true to life. His other obsession kept me a bit skeptical of how that would play out but that turned out okay. I wonder if Grace's mother's illness could be from the injury rather than dementia? The series is good and the dialogue can be quite fun. I'll wait patiently for the next book.

Not my favorite...
I am listening to this series in reverse order and have to say I much preferred #3.
I do have to compliment the author for bringing in conflicts that are far out of the ordinary for historical romances. This particular one touched on mental illness--not debilitating to the point of institutionalization, but the sort of life impacting, long suffering sort that many people endure while remaining mostly functional. I applaud that sort of plot innovation.
What dimmed my enjoyment was that the sexual relationship between the two characters was, to me, pretty creepy, at least in the beginning. There are some lines crossed regarding consent, equality and control that I found off-putting. I usually don't feel such strong distaste (enough to mention it in a public review!) but...yeah. That was so not healthy, what was going on at first.
I admit I might be over sensitive because I am a survivor of sexual abuse. I consider myself fully recovered, but this book's intimate scenes were super "triggery" in a way I haven't encountered in a very, very long time. If you are like me in that regard, or if you have very strong feminist leanings (in which case you're unlikely to read romances anyway), I would advise avoidance of this title.

Unique characters
I enjoyed this book because it was intense (although a little brash for the time line) however much Grace tried to save her marriage was exemplary and shows just what a strong and patient woman can achieve

title was misleading
Otherwise... Stellar. I did, personally, dislike whe. her love "fixed" him... but it was a sweet story with some less than sweet steamy scenes... it wrapped up nicely, although I wish it had dragged out their interlude a little longer... the set up was very intriguing and you definitely felt for both characters...

Really Mixed Feelings on this Novel
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, overall I'd say it was time well spent. It's obvious Julia London is a very talented author. Her characters are engaging and her stories flow nicely.
Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She was amazing as always!
Any additional comments?
Okay, so this is the thing. These characters are VERY flawed.. Which can make a story so engaging and interesting, so that in itself was not all that bad. However, the heroine was flawed in a way that made her very unlikable to me. She was very self involved and lacked empathy for anyone else, especially the hero. This could have changed by the end of the novel, as I couldn't get past about half way through due to my frustration... I was so aggravated by that point I didn't even care. It wasn't worth finding out if she redeemed herself in the end.
It was especially annoying since the novel seemed to point to the hero the antagonist in the story. He was the one with the disorder and he was really messed up and confused. His behavior was very wrong in so many ways, but while I felt as though his faults were a main focus in the story, I felt like her faults were passed off as having a spunky and cute personality. It went past the point as being spunky. It was often mean.
As someone who struggles through Obsessive Compulsive Disorder on a daily basis, for over a decade, I will admit that perhaps my point of view is a little biased when it comes to interpreting the hero's faults compared to the heroine's. My OCD presents itself very differently than the hero's, but I could relate to his humiliation from his disorder and how painful it can be to try to hide it and face judgment of people who don't understand. Yes, his behavior was often despicable, but I feel like his motivations came from a place of suffering and confusion. Her motivations seemed to come from selfishness and being unnecessarily judgmental.
Since I recognize that my biased viewpoint could have been more to blame in my not enjoying this book than the story itself, I could see how anyone without a thorn in their paw might really enjoy this story and not even think anything of the heroine's behavior. Because of that, I'd say YES, this novel is worth the credit and the writing itself is very good. London's novels are worth the risk. She's written some great novels.

A bit too much depravity
I enjoyed the first book by Julie London, but I found the second book to be a little over the top on depravity. It was getting to the point where I thought I was reading penthouse forum. However, some people might really be looking for this so to each his own. I always, always enjoy Rosalyn Landors narration!

Engrossing and entertaining
Julia London took a seemingly impossible romantic situation featuring a rigid hero with obsessive and sometimes dark thoughts and paired him with somewhat spoiled, but well intentioned heroine who tried to entrap his brother, but ended up with him. Their marriage looked hopeless, and I wondered how the author would ever bring the hero and heroine together. Very gradually as it turns out, with acceptance + compromise eventually = love and maybe even the perfect match.
BTW, the twist at the end with the H’s brother tied together some easily overlooked loose ends and added to the feel good HEA,

Even better than the first book
I love this second book in the Cabot Sisters series even more than the first one. The couple that's accidentally thrown together and forced to marry is one of those classic plot lines in the romance genre that never gets old. And its fun to see the reticent Jeffrey forced to interact with the lively Grace. Julia London has definitely imagined Jeffrey as someone who is on the spectrum. It's interesting to imagine how someone would have lived and excelled in 19th century British society at a time when people didn't have the language to describe or understand autism.
Per usual, Rosalyn Landor is an excellent narrator. She brings life to each character.
