Lady Brazen

Notorious Ladies of London, Book 6

De: Scarlett Scott

Narrado por: Richard Sawyer, Jessica Bright

Lady Philippa Shaw had it all - a husband who was madly in love with her, a sweet baby daughter, and a house in the most exclusive square in London - until a shocking discovery revealed that her happy life was a lie.

After her husband's death, his past crimes return to haunt her, bringing danger, devastation, and the one man she’s spent the past few years despising.

Roland, the Duke of Northwich, never recovered from losing Pippa to the cunning scoundrel she married instead of him. When he began investigating the murky business dealings of her dead husband, however, he never intended to cause harm. Their clash is instant, her enmity for him shattering. As the shadowy menace of her husband’s sins emerges, Northwich offers his protection in the only way he knows how.

Pippa has no intention of binding herself to the duke in a marriage of convenience. But after an incident makes the threat to herself and her daughter undeniable, she reluctantly accepts his proposal. She finds herself struggling to reconcile the cold, ruthless man she believed Northwich to be with the caring, considerate man she’s married.

As they work together to discover who is behind the attacks on her, the secrets of the past are unlocked. And the most shocking one of all lies in her new husband’s heart.

My favorite of this series!

This one was my absolute favorite of the series! Roland is such an amazing and complex character. I love that the author highlights his connection to his mother's Native American roots. It's nice to have a main character that's not the typical white, male. I also enjoy having both a male and female narrator telling the story. I wish more publishers would consider this as an option.

Great series

Read all the books that audible has and they are great. I like how characters from previous books make cameo appearances throughout the series.

Enjoyable

Roland is really one of the nicest heroes I’ve ever read about. Once Pippa is in danger, he puts aside the hurt she caused him and focuses completely on what she needs. He is honorable and really likable.
Pippa is a good heroine, even though she spends a fair amount of the beginning of the book dragging Roland— even though she knows her first husband is a liar and a criminal. I can understand her needing time to trust again after what happened in her first marriage.
The author spends A LOT of time in the characters’ heads— which is sometimes fantastic and other times very, very tedious.
I did feel uncomfortable by how it’s made clear that the heroine is not eating to the point of fainting (it gives eating disorder). At first, the hero is concerned, but then he’s telling her that her size/body is perfect. I know Scarlett Scott likes all her heroines with a thin, but this felt a little gross. Very much like, you are malnourished, but your partner thinks that’s just perfect.
The narrators are fine (though sometimes when they read the opposite sex their intonation/expression does not meet the character’s). And I don’t know why, but the way the female narrator says “char Char” is so damn annoying (though maybe that is just Char Char and not her).

great story

loved it very much. great story and great performance by everyone else. thank you very much

Excellent Narraration

I Love that the heroine and the hero got their own voice in the story.

Pippa is a pain!

Not the typical S.Scott heroine. Pippa is stupid, stubborn and ignorant. A very unlikable character. Narration was just ok…glad this was on sale when I bought it!

PATHETIC DUKE AND SHEW HERIONE!!

NARRATION WAS EXCELLANT!! STORY WAS AWFUL!!

WOW I never thought I would do this to a story in the Nortorious Ladies of London series.
BUT Pippa Shaw was a Bitch!!! She was a Shrew so mean and cruel to Roland Duke of Northwich.

Pippa finds out her deceased husband was a murderer, liar, manipulator rapist , thief and child trafficker!! A Criminal of the worse sort. But its Roland she doesn't trust.

Roland is a weak stupid man!! Not deserving of being a Duke. He shows no respect for himself or his Title!! Pippa shoots him down blast him with her cruel words and he apologizes to her!! WTF!! She is the one in the wrong Not you Roland. Roland is trying to protect Pippa and her 2 year old daughter and she treats him like shit on a stick!!

This is not just angst in a storyline this is downright stupidity on Roland's part. I wanted him to just Dump Pippa!! Find someone to love and show Pippa what she had lost!! Wow I just don't believe this couple could ever truly be in love. (less)

Love Scarlett Scott but not this book

Story line was weak and unbelievable. Too much dialogue describing how characters felt rather than any action. The major love scene takes place in chapter 20 and took 49 minutes of excruciating dialogue about how they felt years ago but not of the moment.
I could not believe this was a Scarlett Scott book. Not only was it the worst Scott book, it was the worst historical romance book I have ever read.
