As the black sheep second son of an Earl, Stephen Lyons has gained a reputation in the art of seduction, but when his wicked ways result in scandal, he joins the army to redeem himself. On the battlefield, he proves courageous... until he is seriously wounded. Returning home to recover, he discovers he can't remember the angelic beauty who arrives at his doorstep, his babe nestled in her arms.

Mercy Dawson will risk everything to protect the son of the dashing soldier she once knew and admired. When Stephen offers to do the honorable thing, she is determined that London's most notorious gentleman will desire her and no other. But Mercy fears that what began as an innocent deception could destroy her dreams and their blossoming love if Stephen ever learns the scandalous truth...

They are masters of seduction, London's greatest lovers. Living for pleasure, they will give their hearts to no one... until love takes them by surprise.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator, dear heavens, the narrator.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Select a different reader.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She sounds like Jane Carr. This name might mean nothing to you unless you look her up and then you will recognize her as a famous character actress, often with brilliant comedic timing, Unfortunately, male leads that should be charismatic are unintentionally lampooned by a reading that makes it seem like a comedy sketch. Female parts are adequate. Not fantastic, but adequate. Male parts are uncomfortably pompous and affected, sounding like, well, Jane Carr (remember the British Airways travel agent in Friends when Rachel has to buy a ticket to London? That was Jane Carr. Great actress, "veddy" funny, but "veddy" bad for a sound-alike for a serious male lead).

Did Pleasures of a Notorious Gentleman inspire you to do anything?

It inspired me to write a review. I've only done a couple reviews at this point and I had to warn people off this narrator. I think she is fine in her job, but for other genres. Not this genre. She should not read male parts unless it is childrens books that call for a great pomposity and exaggeration of voice.It also is inspiring me to never buy a book with her as narrator again. Alas, I bought a batch with her as the reader (from the same author) since they were part of an overarching story line. I cannot take that back, but I can warn others.

Any additional comments?

The problem is not the story but the narrator. This is not to scare anyone off from the subject or author, just books narrated in fiction by this woman that have significant male roles to be read. It is never fun to be so distracted by a reading you cannot overlook (overlisten?) a poorly done reading.

This narrator should never, ever read male leads..

The reason I say that this is an odd title is that it really doesn't have that much to do with the story. Sure, the hero was a rake before going to the Crimean War, but it really doesn't enter into the plot. The meat of the story is how he deals with his injuries and the effect they have on the plot line. It was kind of gut-wrenching for me because I knew I was going to cry at some point. The setting was nice in that it was in the 1850s and I have been reading or listening to many Regency romances ( reviews soonish), so the change was good. There was character growth, especially in the male protagonist. There really was no antagonist except for the situations in which the characters find themselves. Okay, as for the narration, I have to say that I didn't find Anne Flosnik to be as irritating as I have in the past.

Odd title for this story

Great love story! True to many lives. I love the way the writer captured the feeling of coming home from war and how the changes have a huge cost on individuals. I really respect the way the heroine becomes the mother of the child and doesn’t leave him no matter what. Blood lines don’t make a woman a mother, the heart does. True Love

Great story

This book has a lot of romance with a meaningful, serious--but not too serious--story that leads the listener down a path with hope but not certainty about how things will unfold. I loved it. The sex in the story is often enough without being overwhelming. Though I generally like overwhelming too. And the sex was not explicit but still detailed enough, not glossed over. Everything fit and worked perfectly. I didn't know what to expect from this author, but I will be looking for more of her stories now. I look for books by Lisa Kleypas, Charlotte Featherstone and Stephanie Laurens in the historical romance genre. I'll now add Lorraine Heath to that esteemed but short list.

Very very good!
