Publisher's summary

The Marquess of Bromton has just learned that he's a bastard. Feeling his honor is at stake, he attempts to bestow his estate upon a rightful heir by manipulating a high-stakes card game. But the winner demands more than Bromton bargained for-a marriage...to his spinster sister. Lady Katherine may be the least marriageable lady in all of England, but a child of their union would be a rightful heir....

Scandal has hardened Lady Katherine and narrowed her world to duty and family. There's nothing to be trusted in the Society she left behind...especially not the imperious marquess with his single-minded pursuit. Or his knee-weakening kisses. Except, the more their connection deepens, the more Bromton surprises Katherine. But the truth about their courtship could destroy everything....

Sorta good….

This story was good enough to finish although predictable. Characters good enough to make a series, I think but we’ll see as i read through them. The narrator was okay but I didn’t care for the male main character’s voice, but others were okay. Could of been my mood at the time but this book wasn’t one of those I couldn’t wait to get back to. But overall this book was better than a lot I have listened to before & didn’t finish.

Twist on honor, behavior and what defines you.

This story contained the usual themes. It was interesting to see how serious Giles was about trying to do the right thing, where his lineage was concerned and being humbled in the end by his mother.
Nice to see the reversal of behavior where the men and women were concerned.

Such a fun series!

Wendy, these stories were so fun! Yes they were scandalous but I enjoyed the story lines, the couples, their humor, their love and the fun they had in bed…but it was much more than just that…please read and enjoy! It was soooo worth the money and or the credit! Keep writing Wendy and Ashford is a much for the narrator…her male voices are the best! All her voices ..there is never a doubt on who is speaking! I’ve just had the the best couple of days and nights listening every chance I got!!!!

Ouch

Really tough to sister to a women’s narrative voice trying to do a “bass@ deep voice , you can hear her trying to maintain the deep voice by speaking slowly - I wanted to take a nap.

Hard to read

Maybe because I'm an American I found the wording in this book very hard to read. It maybe the haughty tone of the narrator. Overall the vibe is depressing. 50% of the dialog is introspection...imnot a fan. I much prefer communication between the couple, a little banter. Unfortunately, there isn't much comic relief so the story plods along lacking joy. It reads much more like a dire gothic novel, not a romance novel.
