With this captivatingly witty debut, Vicky Dreiling immediately established herself as an author of note in the world of Regency romance. How to Seduce a Scoundrel introduces readers to Miss Julianne Gatewick, a comely lass who finds herself seduced by a rake’s sensual waltz. But when the unapologetic lothario leaves her all aflutter—and moves on to his next dalliance—Julianne decides to prick the sides of scoundrels everywhere by penning a guide to reeling in England’s most notorious cads.

"Scoundrels are so fun!"
Great dialogue between characters and a fun story. Great story from a new up and coming author. Can't wait for her next book. Hopefully it will be available via audio book as well.

"Sweet Regency romance"
I love Regency romances, you can just visualise the balls, the dresses, the carriages and of course the handsome rakes and scoundrels. Good romantic story.
Good narrator too.
Could not live without my 2 dogs, humor, books, books and more books ( wishlist is almost endless) oh yeah, I try myself at gardening..lol
"Loved it"
My first Vicky Dreiling book...........
I found it to be a very sweet Romance and I will definitely try another one.Elizabeth did a wonderful job narrating the book
Have to agree with the other reader ....Love the scoundrels and Rake's
"Very Disappointed"
After really enjoying "How to Marry a Duke", which preceded this book, I found this follow up extremely disappointing. It's as if the author had one good book in her and then just threw this out there knowing we would buy it to follow the story. There was no plot, no interesting story line. I had to just stop listening numerous times due to being so annoyed by the simpering, tittering school girl atmosphere that permeated the story. There was sex without romance, "un-witty" banter and the same repetitious "woe is me" whining from both parties through out the book. While I found the narrator acceptable in the first book, I found her grating in this one. The book lacked the swept away romance and lovely descriptions of the times and places that I look for in historical romances. Sorry. Rarely ever this harsh a criticism, but this book was truly a waste of my money. JB
"Like the story line"
The narrator
Hawk. He was complex
A different narrator. The narration sounded like reading rather than truly a performance like Barbara Rosenblat or Davina Porter
A little more dept. A little too much he said she said. But again, it could have been narrated better. Hopefully, the next one will be narrated better
"I just couldn't listen to this narrator."
There are a number of narrators that could have read this book better. Male or female, any choice would have helped.
A voice like Prebble or even Eastlake or Potter.
It was too difficult to get passed her version of "old english" elderly and gentry. she tried too hard to get a range of tones.
Unforunately, disappointment. It my be a good story, but I'd have to READ it to know.
