About this listen

For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple: find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books. It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes. Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with.

He has no plans to marry anytime soon - if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler's niece, the difficult debutante's blend of sweetness and sharp tongue makes him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love. Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric's shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard - and to rob him of the woman he can't live without.

Critic Reviews

"Smith's fast-paced historical keeps [listeners] on their toes as they're taken hostage by a whirlwind of characters and an unforgettable romance." ( RT Book Reviews)

Loved the story and narration. It was well written and held my interest to the very end. I really liked this couple and the members of the League of Rogues…each of whom I’m keen to discover how each fare in love.
I thoroughly recommend.

Great start to the series.

I found it a bit creepy. Nothing attractive about the male lead. No reason to root for him, way too arrogant.

Sad

Loved this book by Lauren Smith - Cannot wait to read the remainder in the series. The characters have depth and are enjoyable to develop the story as it goes. Nicely written and then narrated by Heather Wilds (I have listened to other authors using Heather and she is great to listen to).
Very enjoyable with twists and turns and more than enough to keep me interested. I will put in my list to listen to again in the future

Great Very enjoyable book - Loved it

I guess it’s meant to be a fantasy and I quite enjoyed it ….however I don’t think it would be every woman’s desired reading as it is to be blunt a little ‘rapey’
