Resumen del Editor

She works to live....

One would think the last place a beauty like Fallon O'Rourke could keep her virtue was in the Mayfair mansion of London's most licentious duke, the notorious Dominic Hale. Yet Fallon - who's endured nothing but lecherous advances since her father's tragic death - is perfectly safe there... disguised as a footman! Beneath the notice of the dark-haired devil with his smoldering blue eyes and sinful smile, Fallon never imagines her secret will be discovered. But how long can her deception last when she begins to wish she is one of the many women traipsing in and out of the sinful rogue's bedchamber?

He lives to sin....

Most men envy the duke, never suspecting his pleasure-loving ways are a desperate attempt to escape, however briefly, the pain of a past that's left him with a heart of stone. Only one woman can break down his defenses. Only one woman can win his love...if she reveals her secret and succumbs to the sins of the wicked duke.

Predictable...

Hmmm...I like my romances with lot's of suprise turns and a little passion mixed in. By all the summeries this book fit the bill. I found it fell a bit flat. It was an uncomfortable read with impossible ups and downs and while the ending was predictable, not really plausible.

Narrator tiny tiny bit under par

Would you listen to Sins of a Wicked Duke again? Why?

I've always liked this story and would listen to it again. It wasn't done badly, I just thought that the narration wasn't quite what I hoped for as compared to other audiobooks of its type.
If you're wondering whether to spend the money to hear the audio of a book you've already read or want to know the story for the first time it's not a waste.

Just Okay

This is my first book from this author and I am not saying that I will not read any more but I would be a bit hesitant. This was not a bad book but I must say it could have been a bit more interesting and the narrator did not help. The story dragged a bit and I was so wondering when it was going to finish. Had there been a little more kick and adventure, I could have rated this book an easy five stars.

witty characters!!!

What did you love best about Sins of a Wicked Duke?

Love Fallon!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sins of a Wicked Duke?

when the duke starts to second guess his actions!

What does Emily Gray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the characters...Narrators have a way of bringing the book to life just like the authors who write them!!!

Oh to be so wicked!

Very wicked tale! Well written, at moments rather tongue in cheek, and at others scorchingly sensuous. It’s excellent narration adds to the fun of it, totally enjoyable!

I’ve listened to this one several times, so it’s definitely worth it!

Loved it

Where does Sins of a Wicked Duke rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book ranks fairly high - it had a couple of really good things going for it... a fantastic narrator (very well spoken, lots of variety of voices, no weird sniffs or smacking sounds), a great story line (I like girl-hides-in-plain-sight-as-boy kinds of stories), and it was on a BOGO sale (I bought it with Jennifer Cruisie's delightful and quirky "Getting Rid of Bradley"). It was a lucky find!

Sexy, funny, showed bravery, romantic

This book had it all, also loved the reader in this. There was enough suspense, but not so much that you had to wait for release of the tension, then more suspense. All around excellent!

Good enough story and a good narrator

You know what you're getting with these types of books, some are more entertaining than others - this one is one of the better ones. Fallon can't get a job cause she's too sexy with her long striking hair so she dresses like a boy to get a job as a footman. The devilish but handsome (of course!) Duke hates himself and uses women one after the other. Fallon ends up working for the Duke who has no idea his new valet is the lovely woman he rescued one night and who has haunted him since their meeting.

Well worth the credit and I will look for further books by Sophie Jordan.

Drab

The narrator was pretty good. The characters were not very developed. The story was soooooo predictable and cliché. Nothing too exciting or interesting about this story.

great story

this book was very entertaining . you wanted to find out what would happen next.
