The beautiful and notorious American divorceé Lady Mathilda Lansdowne, while chaperoning her husband-hunting younger sister, must determine if the prime candidate, handsome Lord Alistair Mabry, the Marquess of Rexton, is the perfect choice, maybe too perfect to be true. Narrator Helen Lloyd's tantalizingly breathy voice expertly showcases "Tilly" and just as effectively assumes a stronger volume and aristocratic accent for Rexton in this romantic story about learning to trust and risking all for love. Lloyd's portrayals of Gina, the younger sister, who is not as frivolous as she appears, and Rexton's younger brother, who is not as gregarious as he appears, are spot-on. Anthony Ferguson narrates the epilogue. His rich voice is a pleasure to be savored. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
