About This Audiobook

Phineas Brand, the Earl of Holstoke, is a man of great wealth and even greater reputation - for all the wrong reasons. His family's dark past has made him an outcast in high society, and his efforts to secure a suitable wife have been met with rejection after rejection. That is, until he meets the irrepressible Emily Fanshawe, a woman who sees beyond Phineas's tarnished exterior to the kind and vulnerable soul within. As their forbidden love blossoms, Elisa Braden masterfully weaves a tale of passion, deception, and redemption that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

One of the standout features of this audiobook is the narration by Mary Sarah, whose warm and expressive voice brings the characters to life with remarkable nuance. Sarah's portrayal of Emily, in particular, is a tour-de-force, capturing the young woman's quick wit, determination, and capacity for love with effortless ease. What sets this audiobook apart from other historical romances is its unwavering commitment to character development, making it feel refreshingly authentic and free from the tropes that often plague the genre.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I was thoroughly entranced by A Marriage Made in Scandal, and I think you will be too. Mary Sarah's narration is nothing short of captivating, imbuing the characters with a sense of depth and humanity that's all too rare in historical fiction. Her voice is like a warm hug on a cold winter's night, and she brings a level of intimacy and emotion to the story that's simply irresistible. That being said, I did find the pacing to be slightly uneven at times, with a few scenes feeling a tad rushed or convenient. However, these minor quibbles are more than made up for by the book's many strengths, particularly its thoughtful exploration of themes such as power, class, and the dangers of societal pressure. Elisa Braden's writing is engaging, witty, and full of clever insights, making A Marriage Made in Scandal a true delight for fans of historical romance. Overall, I'd highly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a compelling and emotionally resonant listen.
