Acerca de esta escucha
A governess in jeopardy...and the marquis' son who goes undercover as a housemaid to protect her.
Lord Octavius Pryor leads a carefree and untroubled life, until the night he visits Vauxhall Gardens in the guise of a woman.
At Vauxhall, Octavius discovers that being a female is very different from being a man. Annoyingly different, unpleasantly different, and - when he encounters the lecherous Baron Rumpole - dangerously different.
Determined to teach the baron a lesson, Octavius infiltrates Rumpole's household, where he meets the woman of his dreams: Miss Toogood, governess to the baron's daughters.
Suddenly Octavius has three pressing tasks:
- To teach the baron to keep his yardstick in his breeches.
- To keep Miss Toogood safe.
- To convince her to marry him.
A word of caution: This novel is a bodice ripper, and I mean that quite literally. Bodices are ripped in this book - and not in a playful or sexy way. However, I promise you that all rippers of bodices receive their just desserts.

Oliver Dasenby is the most infuriating man Primrose Garland has ever known. He may be her brother's best friend, but he has an atrocious sense of humor. Eight years in the cavalry hasn't taught him solemnity, nor has the unexpected inheritance of a dukedom. But when Oliver inherited his dukedom, it appears that he also inherited a murderer. Oliver might be dreadfully annoying, but Primrose doesn't want him dead. She's going to make certain he survives his inheritance - and the only way to do that is to help him catch the murderer!

As a child, Devlin Ware thought his family stood for all that was right and good in the world. They were kind, gracious, and shared the beauty of Ravenwood, their grand country estate, by hosting lavish parties for the entire countryside. But at 22, he discovered his whole world was an elaborate illusion, and when Devlin publicly called his family to account for it, he was exiled as a traitor. So be it. He enlisted in the fight against Napoleon and didn't look back for six years. But now his father is dead, the Ware family is broken, and as the heir he is being called home.

simply delightful !
This story is certainly a unique one, and in a good way. I can't give that particular information here, because that would ruin the delightful surprise. I loved the fact that the story didn't shirk its HEA duty, but it never got boring or repetative. A totally new reading experience.

Way way way too long
The characters were interesting, and dialogue was pretty good -there was just too much of it. The story could have benefitted from some serious and judicious editing....eliminating half the book. I won't read again....and won't recommend. Neither do I plan to read next books in series. Shudder, shudder

Not Bad
I like a little paranormal with my romance novels. There was a lot of molestation of women, which I did not enjoy, but I did like that the heroine was able to defend herself.
