About this listen
Unlike his brothers, Vane Cynster vows to never marry. The eligible women of London have different plans for him, however. Seeking safety at Bellamy Hall, the residence of his eccentric godmother, Vane doesn't expect to meet any new unmarried women. But upon his arrival, he encounters the voluptuous Patience Debbington in the garden.
When their gazes meet for the first time, she is filled with a sensation that leaves her quivering. Thoroughly overwhelmed, Vane realizes that he has never met a woman quite like Patience Debbington. As Vane's seductions prove more and more irresistible, Patience's oath to never open herself to heartache may soon be broken.
Simon Prebble narrates this tale with the intuitive boldness and sensitivity of a true master.

Lady Lucy MacMorlan may have forsworn men and marriage, but that doesn't mean she won't agree to profit from writing love letters for her brother's friends - letters that become increasingly racy as her fame grows. That is, until she inadvertently ruins the betrothal of a notorious laird.... Robert, the dashing Marquis of Methven, is onto Lucy's secret. And he certainly doesn't intend to let the lovely Lady Lucy have the last word, especially when her letters suggest she is considerably more experienced than he realized.

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there's one problem: She's far more interested in publishing her women's journal than getting married - especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere - along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

ANOTHER OF THE AMAZING BAR
Where does A Rake's Vow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A Rake's Vow is another of Stephanie Laurens amazing Cynster novels. The storyline was not my favorite of the four I have listened to, but who can resist a Cynster.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Patience and Vane. Patience was strong and willful, I like seeing that in a romance novel; no mamby-pamby females for me.
Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favorite?
Vane. Simon Prebble is the only one who can do the Bar Cynster voices as far as I am concerned. The deep rumble, the stern, forceful tenor, both very sexy. I think he does the other voice really great also. Being a diehard Dick Hill fan, it is difficult to listen to women perform male voices although there are some who do a fairly good job, however, it is wonderful to know that there is another very strong, sexy male voice to perform romance novels. I will always listen to Simon Prebble.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The relationship between Vane and Patience kept me anxious and aroused (during their lovemaking) and there were a few places I laughed.
Any additional comments?
WOW !! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good, strong romance with intrigue and suspense.

Good but really dragged on
The premise of the book was good, but it just dragged on and on and on with kind of a lot of drabble. Its probably sounding a lot worse than it is. I did enjoy it. Mostly. But I was really glad when it was over. There was a lot of sex. Probably really good descriptive sex, but dare I say there was so much that it got boring. But also, I kind of struggle with male narrators reading sex scenes. I hear sex from a female perspective, so to hear a male, trying to sound like a female... just doesn’t really do it for me. Other than that, Simon Prebble does a good job. I’ll probably read another in the series, but not in a rush to do so. Maybe if they're on a 2 for 1 sale.

To many gratuitous sex scenes that go on way too long
I enjoy these stories but the sex scenes are way too long for me. I have finally given up up and I skip 5 minutes at a time. We need to under the passion and see where they are going in their devotion but honestly. This is just too much.
