About this listen

In the third novel in Maya Rodale's charming Wallflower series, London's Least Likely to Be Caught in a Compromising Position finds temptation in a devilishly handsome stranger.

Miss Prudence Merryweather Payton has a secret.

Everyone knows that she's the only graduate from her finishing school to remain unwed on her fourth season - but no one knows why. With her romantic illusions shattered after being compromised against her will, Prudence accepts a proposal even though her betrothed is not exactly a knight in shining armor. When he cowardly pushes her out of their stagecoach to divert a highwayman, she vows never to trust another man again.

John Roark, Viscount Castleton, is nobody's hero.

He's a blue-eyed charmer with a mysterious past and ambitious plans for his future - that do not include a wife. When he finds himself stranded at a country inn with a captivating young woman, a delicate dance of seduction ensues. He knows he should keep his distance. And he definitely shouldn't start falling in love with her.

When Prudence's dark past comes back to haunt her, John must protect her - even though he risks revealing his own secrets that could destroy his future.

This story should come with a warning, trigger alert as to the graphic description of a rape and discussion thereafter.

This is very different to any other storyline I’ve encountered during my obsessive binging of Regency HRs thus far.

Maya’s excellent writing coupled with excellent narration created a sense of realness of the two souls who - each hiding dark pasts, are thrust together by fate to find unexpected love and courage through patience, trust and protection.

I felt for Pru’s situation and adored John for the fiercely protective but gentle SNAG that he was. Oh, if only every man in our day and age were like that, the world would be a much better (IMHO). Both characters were loveable. There’s a surprising twist towards the end of the book which had me anxious for the two but then relieved with their HEA. BRAVA!

100% worth the credit to read. Highly recommended. (I’ll now purchase both Emma and Olivia’s stories in the series as my curiosity has been further piqued)

A surprising but lovely story
