When he arrives, he learns he has a ward who is not at all pleased with his presence on the land she considers hers. He’s quite stunned to learn he’s inherited a title complete with a piece of property in Cornwall which he reluctantly agrees to visit. He enjoys living the high life in London, relatively free of obligation. William Dunford is one of those heroes determined never to marry. I simply couldn’t understand what made her so likable to those around her. She’s supposedly beloved by the staff even though her temper tantrums should have branded her a shrew long ago. She manages the estate of her elderly guardian very well, something that has obviously gone to her head. This type of heroine usually thrills me since they are normally quite witty and self-reliant with a blatant disregard for society’s rules that makes them ever-so lovable, but Henry came across as overly petulant and opinionated with a very inflated view of her own importance.
She doesn’t give two figs for society’s dictates, balls and fashion don’t interest her at all, and she prefers to be called Henry. Henrietta Barrett is not unlike a hundred heroines I’ve seen before. However, it soon became apparent that neither the story nor the narration was going to live up to my expectations. I know I went into this listen with extremely high hopes, having enjoyed Lucy Rayner’s narrations in the past, and being a huge fan of Ms. It’s pretty near devastating when an audiobook you’ve been anticipating for months turns out to be pretty close to dreadful, but that’s just what happened with Minx, the third book in Julia Quinn’s Blydon trilogy.
