A Gentleman Undone

Blackshear Family Series, Book 2

De: Cecilia Grant

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

Lydia Slaughter understands the games men play - both in and out of the bedroom. Not afraid to bend the rules to suit her needs, she fleeces Will Blackshear outright. The Waterloo hero had his own daring agenda for the gaming tables of London's gentlemen's clubs. But now he antes up for a wager of wits and desire with Lydia, the streetwise temptress who keeps him at arm's length.

A kept woman in desperate straits, Lydia has a sharp mind and a head for numbers. She gambles on the sly, hoping to win enough to claim her independence. An alliance with Will at the tables may be a winning proposition for them both. But the arrangement involves dicey odds with rising stakes, sweetened with unspoken promise of fleshly delights. And any sleight of hand could find their hearts betting on something neither can afford to risk: love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Luscious, erotic, and emotionally intense.... Cecilia Grant is a fresh, unforgettable voice in historical romance." (Madeline Hunter)

Finally!!!

Wow wow wow absolutely loved this book. Finally a book in this genre about two flawed/imperfect people that weren’t dukes or duchesses etc. Absolutely loved this book for so many reasons - especially the writing i.e. character development, period details and so on. Beautifully done. Looking forward to next in series and will be enjoying this again in the future.

Meh

Yeah, this wasn't my favorite. I love Susan Erikson and will listen to any book that's narrated by her. This is the first one I've sped up. It wasn't awful, it was just a lot of redundancy. The H & H just constantly carried on about why they couldn't be together until it was just overbearing. I did like the plot and the heart of the story, I just wish it had less conflict between the H & H. That's just something I'm no a fan of in a story, If you are, then this may be fabulous for you! The secondary characters were great and I love getting to revisit previous stories which this had a little bit of.

I paid $4.20 for this on sale and I won't return it. I definitely would NOT have been pleased had I spent a full credit on it, but I very very rarely spend a whole credit on anything.

Not your average bodice ripper

This book and Grant’s, Lady Awakened, are definitely a cut above the average romance, IMHO.
Well developed non-stereotypical characters, well narrated.

disappointed with this one

This seemed like a long drawn out story. They argued too much and struggled with themselves too much. A little on the boring side for me as I struggled to finish this.

Narration was excellent as I find all of the Audible books.

Loved the ending.

Not Your Usual HR

I struggled through this book. Usually it takes me 1 1/2 to 2 days to complete a book, this one took a whole week. I just wasn't drawn to finish it; it was almost a chore. The problems Lydia and Will had seemed as if they would never come together. One thing I did like, was the ending. It was realistic. Of course Susan Ericksen was great. Her narration kept me coming back to finish it.
