Marisa Calin takes listeners back to England in the late 1800s. Evie Harlow owns a bookshop in London. When she crosses paths with Maximillian, the Duke of Westbourne, he proposes that he turn her into the diamond of the social season in order to win a bet with friends. Calin gives Max a crisp upper-class tone that contrasts clearly with Evie's middle-class speech. Calin smoothly transitions between the two. As Evie and Max grow closer, the banter between them increases, and Calin brings a liveliness to her performance. Listeners will find themselves rooting for the pair to overcome their differences and fall in love. S.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
Fans of Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn will adore this opposites-attract romance featuring a dashing duke, a shy bookshop owner, and a wager that will change their lives forever.
Evie Harlow runs a quaint little bookshop in London, which is the biggest adventure an unmarried woman with no prospects could hope for. Until Maximillian Shaw, Duke of Westbourne, saunters into her shop with a proposition: to win a bet with his friends, he'll turn her into the diamond of the season. The duke might be devilishly attractive, but Evie has no intention of accepting his ludicrous offer. When disaster strikes her shop, however, she's left with little choice but to let herself be whisked into his high-society world.
Always happy to help a lady in distress, Max thinks he's saving Evie from her dull spinster's life. He'll help her find a husband and congratulate himself on a job well done. But as shy Evie becomes the shining star he always knew she could be, she somehow steals his heart. And when her reputation is threatened, can Max convince her to choose a glittering, aristocratic life with him over the cozy comfort of her bookshop?
