Synopsis

Judith Ivory's writing has been called "splendid, elegant ... lush, artistic romance" by Romantic Times. Set amidst the glitz and glamour of high society Victorian London, The Proposition is an opulent tale of blossoming love. Lady Edwina Bollash is a woman of importance and distinction who has never been the object of any man's affection. However, when she meets Mick Tremore, a tall, handsome young man from the bottommost rung of society, she instantly attracts his attention. As Mick wants desperately to become a gentleman, Edwina decides to transform him into a man with class. From the start, she notices the way he looks at her. But what she doesn't yet realize is that as much as she is preparing him, he is preparing her for a place in his heart--and in his bed. Narrator Steven Crossley elevates the mounting passion of Ivory's prose, building tension with every breath and every sensuous word.

Listen it had me googling if marrying your second cousin once removed is incestuous, but so what who cares. Tomato tomahto. 💁‍♀️ 4.5/5 bc the pace in the middle seemed to be pretty slow, but it was also fun info; I was just getting a bit restless. (I think listening via audio could’ve helped that.)

Goodreads review by Lady Wesley on October 15, 2021

I listened to this wonderful audiobook last year and neglected to write a review. Let me just say that the team of author Judith Ivory and narrator Steven Crossley made me fall in love with a rat catcher. I have a weakness for lower-class blokes who are smart and savvy enough to work their way into t......more
