London, 1821

Lord Robert Dennington, the Marquess of Westfield, has long reveled in the freedom afforded him as the ducal heir. He knows he must someday do right by the Somerset line, but he's in no hurry to give up his carefree existence.

Helena Banbury is a bookkeeper in a gentleman's gambling club, adept at analyzing numbers and accounts but helpless for lack of influence. She's never belonged among the nobility on the gaming hell floors, but neither does she feel completely herself among the men who run the Hell and Sin Club, despite the fact that they are family. The once-illiterate girl from the streets wants more than the gilded walls her protective cage can offer.

When Robert mistakenly enters her chambers one night, Helena is forced out of her predictable life and thrust into the glittering world of Society. Will the charms of the marquess prove more perilous than any danger she ever knew on the streets?

It just went on and on with the self deprecating thoughts of the characters. Revelations to the listeners never made it to the actual characters.

Boring and frustrating

Narrator is fantastic for having only one narrator.
I throughly enjoyed every minute of it!

Wonderfully written!!

The narrator's voice was easy on the ears. The story however was repetitive in the descriptions of the main characters: height and age. Yes, he's 33 and I got it, she's nearly 25. There could be more character development. Those words spent through out the story REPEATING their ages, the brother's hate towards the ton, and the heroine not being traditionally beautiful could have instead been used for character development. Why is referencing their ages important, the hate, and the notions of beauty? Still a decent story for audio but probably not to spend your day reading.

This book starts off with a bang. I love Christ Caldwell's writing style. This book shows her venturing from Mayfair to the Dials. Helena is amazing & strong but still appropriate for the time period. I love the Hero as well Robert is all you want in a hero. I enjoy as always that the characters are human not perfect cut outs ideals. There is depth to each character. The best part is there are small details that hint to topics in future books. This book is great as a stand alone & even better if you read Christi's back list of books.
For Audio Tim Campbell is amazing. His voice is one of the greats. I always enjoy books he narrates.

Wow!! Just Wow!!!

I started the Sinful Brides series...this is the first book in series. It was a great story with complex characters including the hero and heroine. All the supporting characters were interesting.....I can't wait to hear their stories.

Christi Caldwell's books have been a real adventure for me...have taken me off my beaten track. This book in particular was almost all about the rookeries of St. Giles, the underbelly of London, and the desperately poor and homeless people who live there. Christi presents in such a way that the reader is appalled yet sympathetic and understanding. I'm enjoying my adventure.

This book was recorded in 2015 or 2016 and it reflects just how much Tim Campbell has grown into a masterful narrator. I'm on to the next book in the series.

Well-written, well-developed characters
