A Perfect Gentleman

De: Barbara Metzger

Narrado por: Pippa Rathborne

Viscount Aubrey "Stony" Wellstone is at the end of his rope - and the end of his family's once-great fortune. Desperate, he tries his luck at the gaming tables, where an offer to exchange his debts for a gentlemanly favor leads to a profitable new profession. The fiercely independent, flame-tressed Miss Ellianne Kane would normally have no use for an upper-class attendant - even one as striking as Stony - but she needs Aubrey's help. Will Aubrey prove to her that there is far more to him than a source of money?

What did you like best about this story?

This has always been one of my favorite books by Barbara Metzger. I have read the book many times and am familiar with the characters and plot. I was pleased when Audible made this available and I expected a good listen. Something unexpected happened. The narration was so excellent it gave me a new appreciation of this favorite book of mine.
The narrator's was dead on how I pictured the characters sounding. The intonation and inflection brought the characters to life.

Which scene was your favorite?

The first time Stoney meets Ellianne. Ellianne is in the middle of creating one of her charts. It involved cutting and pasting various pieces of paper together. Needless to say many things get stuck to her gloves, etc, much to the dismay of Stoney. Hilarious. Ellianne's aunt's sotto voce comments were also very funny.

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

Yes. Even though I have read the book many times the narration made the book come alive in a great way and listen in one go.

Laughed Out Loud

I literally laughed out loud. It is an excellent romp. It is just this side of proper. Totally worth the read. Well spoken narration mixed with excellent prose. Make the time. You’ll be happy you did.

Listeners beware

Although this is a very well written story in Heyer fashion, it is not exactly clean. There are multiple sexual references and descriptions. I highlight this because other reviewers have not. There is a lot of comedy but there are gothic parts as well. Sometimes a little too much horrific descriptions for my taste. The villain is pretty disgusting. Overall the story is humorous and well written and many people will enjoy it. Although if you’re looking for a sweet clean romance, this is not it.

Very funny Regency Romp

This book had me laughing out loud on quite a few occasions, Well done Barbara Metzger.
