Miss Daisy Wharton is one captivating lady, at least Lord Devon Miles thinks so. Spying her at a disgraceful event, she gives him tit for tat when he starts criticizing her attendance. Daisy doesn't back down and he's taken aback. A year later, Devon is still looking for a bride, not realizing she is right under his nose. These reactions to her presence are most annoying and she's really not suitable or is she? When Daisy needs help, the only person she thinks of is Devon. Evading the truth doesn't help her case. Only when she leaves him after they're married, does he realizes he made a mistake. A lot of humor from a zany young lady who actually makes sense. A very precise and distinctive narrator.
Some descriptive sex.
I voluntarily read the book plus listened to the audio

Two Lies and a Lord was amazing as an audiobook and I’d absolutely recommend it in this format above print.

Felicity Foster’s voice and delivery were absolutely perfect for Eloisa James’ story - and, I think, would be for most regency romances. Here’s hoping we hear so much more from Foster in the future.

As for the book itself, Two Lies and a Lord is classic Eloisa James - and I adored it. I’m not sure what it says about me, but I usually can’t help picking a side, and I’m decidedly Team Daisy here. She’s witty, fierce, vulnerable, and fearless when it matters most.

Honestly, I’m usually swooning over the regency leading man - but for most of this book, I thought the FMC deserved better than the completely mercurial Miles. (On a related note: petition for Frederick to have his own book!)

Here’s what you can expect:
- Slow burn
- Found family
- Body positivity
- Arranged marriage
- Deceit/miscommunication

James is a staple in the regency romance space and I’ll read anything she writes!

Thank you to Brilliance Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I prefer to read books in a series in order, so I went back to read the previous books before picking this up. All I can say is this series is not for me, and I’m an avid reader of historical romances. Boring plots, insufferable “mean girls” villains, and a complete lack of chemistry between the MCs grew equal parts tiresome and irksome in quick succession. It’s not surprising then that I couldn’t finish this and would prefer to forget the entire ordeal. I did like the narrator, so an extra star for the performance.

Miss Daisy Wharton and Lord Miles Devin are opposites in almost everything except their strong sense of justice, which is how they end up married after a series of half-truths and suppositions that force them to acknowledge their true feelings.

It's so fun! I got hooked on the banter between Daisy and Miles and needed to know how they'd get their happy ending. It's ridiculous and slightly anachronistic, but utterly perfect reading.

Felicity Foster did a solid job of breathing life into the story. Although I did have trouble telling who was speaking when at certain times, her narration added to the fun of the story.

Delighted thanks to NetGalley and Brilliance Audio for the wonderful read!

I love Eloisa James, but this was a bit tamer than her normal reads. I feel like given how short the book was it was a little harder to develop the characters and plot. I wish it was a bit longer and we got a little bit more story to it. So happy to get a copy of this quick audiobook from NetGalley!

I wish the couple had had more time getting to know each other before all of the large conflicts hit and their marriage of convenience commenced. It may be because I haven't read previous books in the series but it felt as though their relationship was not as developed as I would expect for an Eloisa James novel.

Two lies and a lord is book four in the seduction series. Daisy is a very native young lady who falls for a man who is 7 years old. She has also grown accustomed to thinking of Lord Miles Devin as a man who can solve any problem, so when her half-sister Belle is left in a basket at her door, she turns to Miles, hoping he can save Belle from an orphanage.
The audiobook was good. The narrator did a good job telling the story and was easy to listen to.
