About this listen

He wants to marry her off quickly. She says absolutely not.

When the Marquess of Campbell inherits a fiery, red-headed Scottish beauty as his ward, it's his job to marry her off. No problem. She comes with a fortune. Lady Bridget MacDuff will have suitors falling all over themselves to wed her.

Not so fast. Lady Bridget has plans for that fortune, and they involve helping unfortunate women. And she has no intention of helping her devastatingly handsome guardian in his quest to get her off his hands. He doesn't plan to marry, either. Why should she?

Bridget and Cam are now on opposite sides of a war that neither one plans to lose. Even if Cam's rakish presence throws Bridget's heart into turmoil and the marquess can't deny that his ward sets his heart afire. And then Cam makes a bold proposal....

Contains mature themes.

I was enjoying it until it entered sillyville!

I have 2 pet hates when it comes to historical romances...

One is the heroine refusing marriage even after she's been ruined... because "he doesn't love me..." but then she agrees to marry someone she doesn't love, because making somebody else suffer makes perfect sense... eyeroll!

& the other is the heroine being adamant that she'll never marry & will live an independent life... in the 1800s!

We're talking about an era when women were not only considered property, but they couldn't OWN property, they couldn't even have a bank account... up until 1975!

Life for a "fallen" woman in that era was not pleasant, hence why women would "agree" to marry their rapists, because the alternatives, like workhouses, etc... were hell on earth... so you marry that man who treats you right, but may not love you... women settle even in this day & age!

Women had NO rights
rights.. so portraying them as going against the very set grain because of idiotic reasons, makes them appear foolish & not very bright IMO!

mostly ok

The narration was good, but the story was lacking, repetitive, silly and he's a hypocritical angry jerk for 99% of the story.
content warning: contains domestic abuse and potentially a scene of non consensual s*x

I felt curious at first, then it made me sad, then disappointed, then angry, by the end I wanted to burn this absolute abomination of a “romance” book. The FMC, Brigit was first portrayed as a wild young woman, ambitious, intelligent, craving her independence. She appeared to have standards. It turned out that the bar was on the ground… and she came prepared with a shovel. The MC, Cam was witty, misogynistic, self-serving, sometimes even kind of funny in his complete cluelessness and cringe. There was some talk about the importance of “consent”. But what actually happened was a coercion. Not informed consent is not a consent. There was no love. Only red flags and obvious colour blindness. I had tears in my eyes at one point because of what mc done to fmc and her reactions and responses that followed (for a moment I was a little proud of her for attempting to get herself out of that situation, even though she did that out of self pity and as way to please him). I was curious about how they would deal with the villain of the story. The author was consistent about that too and it was very much disappointing, as well. In conclusion, that was not a romance, that was a ragebait.
