About this audiobook
Once upon a time there were three young ladies, who, despite their fortunes, had been on the marriage mart a bit too long. They were known as “the Spinster Heiresses” . . .
He’s inherited a title, but not a penny to speak of, so the Earl of Rochdale knows he must find a wife—preferably one tolerably pretty and good-tempered, but definitely wealthy, and who will exchange her fortune for his family name.
His choice: Leonie Charnock, one of the season’s “Spinster Heiresses.” Years before, the earl had saved the dark-eyed beauty’s reputation and she is still breathtakingly lovely, leading Rochdale to hope that their marriage will be more than in name only.
However, Leonie doesn’t want to be anyone’s wife. Nearly destroyed by the secrets in her past, Leonie agrees to their union with one condition: there will be a wedding but no bedding. But it’s a condition the new Countess Rochdale isn’t sure even she can keep. . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Leonie's story--and struggle here--blew me away.The book's blurb doesn't really address what its heroine's biggest problem will be, but to be honest I hadn't even read it all that closely before saying, Another new series from Cathy Maxwell? Yes, please! so I might not have noticed even if it had. Ms. Maxwell certainly did take on a whole lot with these two characters--their complicated backstory, Leonie's difficult homelife and her unconventional (for a Regency romance heroine, at least) way of dealing with it, and Roman's complicated feelings for her and uncertainty of how (or even if) he could help her--and still made me root for them all of the way. Even while practically screaming at her, "No! Don't do it!" Ms. Maxwell made me understand why Leonie often still did.Though I am sure Leonie and Roman's challenges are far from over at the end of the book, the ending Ms. Maxwell gives us definitely leaves us with the hope that together they will be able to come out on top. I can't wait to see glimpses of them in future series books--how soon will they be coming out? ;)Rating: 4 1//2 stars / A-I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
