Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013

Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a woman's heart?

Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind - and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband, and in the process, made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back... and he's asking for her help.

"Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed...talking.

When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap - her mother having died - Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies, and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.

    "Magnificent Journey!"

    This audiobook is absolutely wonderful! If you have followed Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series and daydreamed about what would happen when Charming Mickey and Silence Hollingbook finally got together, your daydreams could not compare to their actual story. The storyline will keep you riveted to whatever device you have selected to hear your audiobooks, and the realness that both author and narrator create in Charming Mickey's dialogue makes him more endearing. Other characters from previous books are mentioned, but Silence and Charming Mickey are definitely the focus. Hoyt also does a wonderful job in enticing the listener to want to hear more of Winter’s story in her next installment. The twists and turns and cliffhanger moments will take you on an emotional journey that will leave your mouth hanging open in surprise, and tears threating to fall as you begin to wonder if you will get the happy ending you want for Silence and her Charming Mickey. Oh yeah, and of course, the “Ghosts of St. Giles is revealed. Listen to find out if your suspicions as to his identify are correct.

    "This book is AMAZING !"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Scandalous Desires to be better than the print version?

    No matter the edition. I think this book is amazing eitherway with its excellent storyline and interaction of all the characters
    I started with the first book where the hero and heroine's characters first introduced. I was captivated by them and jumped ahead to listen to the third book in the series instead of the second book! I love love love the book


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Mikky ofcourse !!!!!!! Such contradicting yet captivating character !


    Which scene was your favorite?

    What is not my favorite scene !!!!! I loved the whole thing ! I don't want to spoil the book :)


    Any additional comments?

    The narration was improved from the first book of the series. But still Ashford made Mikky's voice as if a teenager not fitting his charismatic character !

    "The Best Book of the Series"

    I really liked this series, but this was clearly the best (so far)
    The Narrator was amazing, she has an amazing voice. I loved her voice of baby Mary.
    Silence & Mickey were both characters that you could not help but love.
    The mystery of the "Ghost of St. Giles becomes clearer, introducing Book 4 of this series.
    This book is not to be missed.

    "The perfect narrator for this fascinating series"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes, but only a VERY CLOSE friend! The sex is so graphic, I'd want to be sure the friend wouldn't be offended.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Scandalous Desires?

    When they are all in the kitchen giving the dog a bath in his tub, then Micky walks in.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Too many to choose from.


    Any additional comments?

    I know not everyone likes the narrator, but to me she is the PERFECT narrator for this series. Her narration is quiet, deliberate, and somber, which reflects the seriousness of the character (and her entire family) as well as the atmosphere of the whole book. She complements the atmosphere created by the author. Her Irish accent is fantastic.

    "Awesome"

    Please read this series in order. It is a delightful, funny, entertaining, sexy, romantic, suspenseful, read. This last book was my favorite of the series. I love when a writer can make one love and cheer for the bad guy. It is not easy to keep us historical romance novel readers enthralled, but you will be with this series. At least, it kept me listening late into the night. Great ending.

    "Well worth the wait."
    What made the experience of listening to Scandalous Desires the most enjoyable?

    As an avid audio book listener, I really have enjoyed The Maiden Lane Series. I had waited patiently for the latest installment to be released and it was certainly well worth the wait.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Scandalous Desires?

    The revelation of the Ghost of St. Giles identity.


    What about Ashford McNab???s performance did you like?

    Asford McNab is a very talented Narrator, she made this story come to life. Her voice is awesome.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I actually listened to the whole book in 2 days. If I had been reading it would classify as a page turner.


    Any additional comments?

    I love Elizabeth Hoyt's stories, I find her characters interesting and lovable. I am a huge historical romance fan and this book rates in my top 10 list.

    "Just Could Not Get Into It"

    I thought I would be drawn into this book right away but the plot seems very similar to some of Lisa Kleypas' books. I only listened to about an hour or less. If I could return this book, I would. The reader seems excellent.
