Publisher's summary

Lord Theodore Rockley, Eleventh Duke of Pembridge, is endowed with everything a man could desire.
Good looks.
Charm.
Intellect.
A wealthy estate.
And an enormous specimen of...masculine splendor.

So formidable, in fact, that no woman has been able to conquer its summit.

Scandalous adventuress Estela Bongorge wants only one thing from delicious Lord Rockley, and she's never yet been beaten in a challenge.

Can they discover a solution to the well-endowed Duke's dilemma?

Will Lord Rockley be able to tie down the problem?

Or is his predicament insurmountable?

One thing is for sure... they'll have a breath-taking time finding out!

Warning: This fabulously steamy historical romance features a virile virgin hero, a wily widow heroine, and lashings of tongue-in-cheek humor—all taking place on a delightful Mediterranean cruise.

'Teach me' (in the bedroom)
Opposites Attract
Forced Proximity
Feisty Heroine
Arrogant Hero

A Perfect Match?

This seventh book in "The Lady's Guide to Love" series was entertaining. Estela Bongorge was edgy and a little bit scandalous. Lord Theodore Rockley was a proper English lord. When the two first met, there was instant attraction, but both had obligations that stood in their paths to love. I enjoyed the characters. I liked the twists in their romantic entanglement. There were some steamy descriptions. Gareth J Davies' narration was charming, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Wonderful Story

What a funny steamy sexy love story!!!! A feisty independent woman and a less than confident Duke, what could be better?

A short, steamy listen

I am enjoying these historical romance books written by Emmanuelle de Maupassant. They make for a good deviation from my normal reads/listens. They have steamy storylines with good characters. Lord Rockley and Estela both captured my heart. At times I became frustrated with them. We had a reverse no means no, situation where usually it's the guy not listening. Ugh. But when I set that aside, I was completely invested in their story.

Gareth J Davies is an excellent narrator. He has grown on me more and more with each book I've listened to from this series. He's perfect for the atmosphere and feel of these books. His "voice" for Estela was a bit too low though. It took a bit of time to get use to it as the female character speaking. Otherwise, another perfect performance!

LaGina

what a lovely read! it was nice see the roles reversed and it was the awkward male who was the Virgin and the older more experienced female who showed him how to use his great gift.

Really Great!

I originally read this book in August 2023, but I have just been privileged to listen to the audiobook version narrated by the very talented Gareth J Davies and he made it so easy to listen to and enjoy all over again. What a great pair of talented artistes Emmanuelle and Gareth are!
This is a wonderful story with really colourful characters and it is so nicely written that I couldn't stop listening until I had finished it. The same thing happened when I read the book.
(What can I say? I like well-endowed Dukes too! Who wouldn't?)
The story has two really colourful characters in and it is really worthwhile either reading or listening to.
(SPECIAL NOTE: This particular title amuses me very much. I also wonder if, at some stage back then, a Lady had in fact written this type of guide book. I guess that would be possible?)

What a delight!

What a joy this story was and what a predicament poor Theo had placed himself in trying to do what was right by his family.
With some steamy conversations and content this book shows you a totally different perspective of what Theo had to endure.
Also the many ways that Estela was so eager and willing to help him conquer this.
At times a laugh out loud, humorous story with two amazing characters and a couple of equally wonderful godmothers bring this story alive.
A mystery slowly unravels and their feelings towards each other start to be so much more than they started out as.
A series that I have loved reading / listening to with such strong no nonsense women, the men that love them and that they are destined to be with.
Also love how characters from the previous books make an appearance.
As always I so enjoy the audiobooks and this one did not disappoint.
Gareth J Davies has done an excellent job narrating this story.

Steamy and interesting story, good narration.

This was definitely a steamy story. I enjoyed Estela's straightforwardness, love for sexual congress, and her enjoyment of life. She was willing to go after what she wanted, but she thought that she would not have Theodore, especially as she got to know him before they were intimate. Theodore was doing what he thought was the right thing, being loyal to his late brother, so he went looking for some instruction. He was so strong, yet shy. Their encounters and instructions were very illuminating and hot.

I enjoyed the narration by Gareth J. Davies as he brought all the scenes to life, steamy and otherwise.

This is my unsolicited review.

Problem Solving

A sexy duke with a problem, or two.  A sultry widow willing to help him with at least one of them.  Surprising worldly godmothers to give advice.  This delightful story takes place on a Mediterranean cruise.  There is lots of fun and several scenes that are laugh-out-loud funny.  I liked Theo and Estela.  The godmothers were wonderful.  A steamy romance that ends as it should, all brought to life by the splendid talents of Gareth J. Davies.

Loved Theo and Stella!

This story was full of intrigue. The FMC was not the usual shrinking violet - Stella knew how to handle herself around men as she had been married four times. Theo was completing his mission for the government when he meets Stella on a ship on the way back to England. He charms Stella and her godmothers, and asks Stella to help him with a rather big personal issue. He never discusses with Stella what his mission was, and she discovers it by accident. She misunderstands the purpose of why he was on the same ship as her and runs from him, but eventually she learns the truth. By the time they meet again in England, Stella has a surprise for Theo! The narration for the audiobook was very good. I switched between the audiobook and the ebook, and enjoyed both methods of reading.
