About this listen

When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses - and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he's offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger.

Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke's castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul. But the Duke's steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride. With caring persistence, Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke's armor and reach the man beneath. Yet, he cannot tolerate such exposure, and his repeated rejections take their toll. But when grave danger arises, the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without.

Nice storyline

Excellent storyline but spoiled for me by the dodgy English/American accent. It’s an historic English tale which flows nicely, a bit predictable but I enjoyed it

Lovely but…

This sweet little story is based on the Hades and Persephone myth, but it has some beauty and the beast vibes. The characterization was very well done and believable and the FMC is gentle and intelligent and selfless. The MMC has a perfectly believable back story and a nice arc that shows his softening. The plot has a couple weak points that I found disappointing, and the narrator speaks too quickly for my taste, but there were so many good things about this story, I will listen to it again and again going forward. Definitely worth your time if you enjoy fairytale/myth retellings.

Very Clean enjoyable, light read; good narration

I usually love Audible books for the way a great narrator can bring a story to life in ways us mere mortals can’t. Sadly, that wasn’t the case here. This beautiful, Austen-esque story was comprised, nay hijacked, by an American narrator reading a novel set in North East England and Shropshire. Just no. Absolutely no.
That said, the story itself is wonderful. I ended up downloading it on Kindle instead, and without the inappropriate narration, I enjoyed it all the more.

Love love love the story, but not so much this audible
