EARL CRUSH

This delightful Regency romance introduces Lydia Hope-Wallace, the rich, fiery redhead who secretly writes pamphlets denouncing the excesses of the aristocracy. Arthur Baird is the tall, blond reclusive Earl of Strathrannoch, who owns a moldering castle in Scotland. Narrator Mhairi Morrison spins the pair's adventurous love story, beginning with her wonderful vocal interpretation of their first meeting. Lydia doesn't want to waste a minute and puts her marriage proposal on the table as she introduces herself. Morrison expertly enacts Arthur's shock and dismay because he has no idea who she is. Morrison's strong Scottish accent and comedic timing help create many laugh-out-loud moments. Her performance is humorous, breathlessly sexy, and not to be missed.
