Book description
The Truth About Lord Stoneville is a delightful listen that showcases Sabrina Jeffries' trademark blend of humor, heart, and sensuality-all delivered with an engaging voice that makes the characters feel like old friends coming to life. From the very first track, you're pulled into the glittering world of Hallstead Hall where the Sharpe siblings-especially Oliver, the Marquess of Stoneville-are as roguish as they are charming.
The audiobook's narrator does an excellent job capturing Oliver's swagger and Maria Butterfield's spirited American wit. Their banter is "delectably witty," as Booklist notes, and each line feels fresh, keeping you hooked even during the quieter moments when Oliver wrestles with his secret. The chemistry between them crackles, turning every exchange into a flirtatious dance that feels both playful and earnest.
What sets this recording apart is its pacing. The narrator's clear diction and subtle shifts in tone mirror the story's rise from a prank to an unexpected love affair. When Oliver's grandmother threatens disinheritance, you feel the tension building-only for it to be relieved by Maria's infectious optimism. Even the "dark secret" that shadows Oliver's past is handled with nuance, allowing listeners to empathize without feeling overwhelmed.
Overall, The Truth About Lord Stoneville is an unputdownable (and uneasily listen-to) romance that balances sharp dialogue, engaging character arcs, and a satisfying resolution-all wrapped in a polished audiobook experience. If you're looking for a story that makes you laugh, swoon, and maybe even reach for your own "marriage" plans, this is the perfect pick.
