Excellent in Every Way

While I enjoy this author, as sometimes happens, I couldn’t get through this book in ebook format. Weeks later, listening to the really superior narration, the story finally drew me in. I don’t like shrews, I don’t like endless insults to males, but there’s enough left in the characters to make it worth a listen. Did I say the narration was superb?
Folks need to keep in mind that if it weren’t for men, we wouldn’t be enjoying kindle and audible at all. We’d still be pitching tents and cooking over open fires. No thank you.

Duke of Ashmont & Cassandra Story

Love then as a couple...they are both absolutely crazy, no wonder they were a good match!

Well-written, well-developed characters

This is one of those books you need to give a little more time before passing judgment. In the beginnig, the characters appear too zany. Kate Reading, the awesome narrator that she is, did a great job interpreting and presenting their zaniness. Consequently, I debated on whether I could tolerate those quirky characters for 12 hours. But, I stuck with it and came to develop a real liking for the characters as they developed into very personable people with depth. Cassandra, the female lead character, has a very strong personality who speaks her mind. She also has strong beliefs in women's rights which were unusual for that time perod. The reluctant hero of the story appears a real loser with weak character. At first the reader would think the disparities in their characters are insurmountable. Not so, Lucien, our hero, has strengths that Cassandra shows him that he has. This was a delightful book and I'll listen to again and again.

Funny, endearing, great characters, great performance…

What can I say…I love Loretta Chase and Kat Reading brings her characters to life! Strong, flawed women and their chosen men…please write book 3!

Lovely

At first I didn’t like Cassandra’s treatment of Lucious, but it became clear that she was protecting herself. Lucious was adorable in a way that showed he was willing to change from rouge to adoring lover. Together they faced the challenges of being too much alike and different.
