About this listen

The cure for a willful wife....

Drusilla Clare is full of opinions about why a woman shouldn't marry. But that doesn't stop the rush of desire she feels each time her best friend's brother, notorious rake Gabriel Marlington, crosses her path. So imagine her dismay when she finds herself in the clutches of a scoundrel, only to be rescued by Gabriel himself. And when Gabriel's heartless - and heart-pounding - proposal comes, it's enough to make Dru's formidable resolve crumble...

...is a smitten husband.

She's sharp-tongued, exasperating - and due to one careless moment - about to become his wife. Still, something about Drusilla has Gabriel intrigued. First there's the delicious flush of her skin every time she delivers a barb - and then the surprisingly sensual feel of her in his arms. Gabriel even finds himself challenged by her unusual philosophies. And when he discovers a clandestine rival for Dru's affection, his temperature flares even hotter. But the real threat to their happiness is one neither of the newlyweds sees coming. If they're to save their future - and their very lives - they'll need to trust in each other and their growing love.

Contains mature themes.

for the most part the story was good.. but OMG! the lack of truthful communication was frustrating.. another mysogenistic trait that happens often through the story is him telling her to shush.. I swear I would punch him 😳.. will I get the next in the sert.. probably not.

well read well written

A well plotted story with enough twists to make it interesting, and an ending that takes you into the next book in the series. I find with many of these romantic tales have heroines who are supposedly intelligent but have doubts about their hero's feelings and intentions without a causative action or words on the part of the hero. This did happen in this story but the heroine's self reflection resolved them far more quickly and more satisfactorily, which made these moments feel more plausible and the plot tension less contrived. Good narration.

Plausible and well plotted.

It was a vastly different theme from what I have listened to. The balance of characters worked well and had an interesting ending, leaving everything open for a sequel.

Another interesting tale to listen to.
