A Perfect Gentleman

De: Candace Camp

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

Forced to marry an American heiress to save his family, Graeme Parr, Earl of Montclair, vowed their marriage would be in name only. Abigail Price thought handsome, aristocratic Graeme was her knight in shining armor, rescuing her from her overbearing father. But when she was spurned by her husband on their wedding night, Abigail fled home to New York.

Now, years later, Abigail has returned. But this sophisticated, alluring woman is not the drab girl Graeme remembers. Appalled by her bold American ways but drawn to her beauty, Graeme follows her on a merry chase through London's elegant ballrooms to its dockside taverns - why is his wife back? What could she want of him now?

Torn between desire and suspicion, Graeme fears that Abby, like her unprincipled father, has a devious plan to ruin him. But is Abigail's true desire Graeme's destruction...or winning his love at last?

Good HEA

I love a good love story and happily ever after! The characters were well developed and engaging. I liked the suspense and twist at the end. The narrator sometimes blended people’s “voices” together so they sounded similar but overall did well.

He wasn’t always a perfect gentleman

But by the end he had become one. Very good plot. Fun characters. Nice narrative. Good voice. Liked very much.

Somewhat Farfetched Story

I say this story is farfetched because of the period of time that passes between the marriage and the consummation. Even tho it's the 1800s and there are a lot of things/stuff/situations that was done back then that we now know was totally stupid and nonsensical, I don't want to suspend my disbelief that far. Nevertheless, be that as it may, this novel is a good setup for understanding some of the family dynamics and prepare the listeners for the next novel in this series~ A Momentary Marriage,,, I love love love "A Momentary Marriage" for it's simplicity and it's complications and complexities... The story is about a dog's abilities (i'm not that fond of dogs), the complications of families and the complexities of marriages. Of Course, Gildart Jackson is the "cat's meow" of narrators. I could and do listen to him read for hours because he embodies the story and he pulls the listener into the story. I Highly Recommend this two novel series.

Should be a novella

I liked the mystery part of the plot, but the two main characters were so whiny and insecure. They each had to internally debate and review and mull over each little interaction and then, of course, come up with a stupid and wrongheaded deduction. I would have edited this book by at least half.

I am surprised that I didn't strain my eyes by rolling them so much!

Easy listen

The story had a continuous flow. I enjoyed it. read a few reviews that said it was too much sex and it was graphic. It took them half the book to even get close and the encounters were not graphic. Not sure what kind of romance novels those people were use to reading. I need the heat in mine. The narrator was entertaining. I read/listen to her again.
