Publisher's summary

A perfectly proper duke's heir and a fiercely loyal East End lady clash in this steamy Regency romp from USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott.

With his impeccable reputation and undeniable good looks, Garrick Weir, Viscount Lindsey, heir to the Duke of Dryden, has earned his place at the apex of fashionable London society. Every lady on the marriage mart wants him as her prize, and every young fop wants to be him. When his foolish younger brother declares his intention to marry a devious East End fortune hunter, Garrick is appalled. He vows to do everything in his power to stop the mésalliance from occurring.

Penelope Sutton has long considered Lord Aidan Weir her unlikely friend. But when he decides he wants to marry her to anger his father and condescending brother, she refuses to take part in his schemes. She would have told the arrogant Lord Lindsey as much had he not attempted to bribe her. And she most definitely would have informed him he should take his blunt back to Mayfair where it, and he, belongs…had he not kissed her.

Torn between a confounding attraction to Miss Sutton and the desire to make certain she stays far, far away from his brother, Garrick must prove she is every bit the title-hungry fortune seeker he believes her to be. Pen is equally determined to show the viscount how very wrong he is about her. But when their battle leads to much higher stakes than pride, everything changes for the rigidly proper lord and the rookeries-born lady.

Character development

could have been more developed. it could have been great if there were few twists.

Steamy

Well written book with the right amount of steam. Good story kept you engrossed and entertained. The narrators were perfect!

Another very enjoyable story

Another great story in the Sutton line. A little bit Unbelievable, however, no more than that all of the rest of the books in this genre…You know where people fall in love after five days of being together and know that it’s going to be there forever love not just Lust.
Anyway, very hot very enjoyable

Boring and Underdeveloped

My hyper-fixation as far as books are concerned, for the last two years, has been historical romance. I can’t seem to get enough and on average, I’m finishing two audio books a week. This is important to note because I have been trying to finish this singular book for about the last 3 weeks. I had to force myself through it.

When I find a new author I like, I make it a point to listen to all their books available to me. Rarely do I ever return a title, but I wish I had when it came to this one. It did not capture my attention at all, and I found myself completely zoning out and dissociating from the story multiple times. At first, I kept repeatedly rewinding the parts I had “missed”, but I eventually gave up doing so and just kept pushing through. I didn’t miss anything in doing so. The story was incredibly dull and underdeveloped. It almost seemed like the author just didn’t care for these characters and only made this book as a filler in the series. I kept listening because I do want to finish this series and I felt like it may be pertinent to have heard each book, but you can totally get away without reading this one. It had no information in it that would be necessary to know before moving to the next book. It was a complete lack-luster story.

As far as the narration, it wasn’t my favorite, but was tolerable. Although the male narrator has a rich voice, his attempt at making his voice feminine was comical at best. The female narrator often sounded as though she was half asleep.
