The Devilish Montague

De: Patricia Rice

Narrado por: Eliza Jane Cornell

A taciturn soldier and a social butterfly - is the perfect home worth the price of a marriage of inconvenience?

Blake Montague's draconian temper and clever mind belong on the Continent, decoding French communications. Instead, as the youngest son of a baron, he's terrorizing London ballrooms in search of a wife who will buy the commission he can't afford.

Jocelyn Carrington, after years of smiling through the pain inflicted by an uncaring family, has just inherited a fortune. Now she can buy the special home with an aviary her eccentric younger brother needs - but Blake Montague's family owns it. They offer the house if she will marry their son and prevent him from marching off to war. Except Blake will use her dowry to buy his commission.

How can Jocelyn gain the home of her dreams while keeping alive a courageous man with a bad habit of attracting trouble? Can Blake believe the beautiful Jocelyn might actually free him from his family's manipulations? Can this wary, cynical pair open their hearts to trust in the power of love?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Intriguing protagonists, quirky secondary characters, and a surprising plot make for an endearing sequel to...The Wicked Wyckerly." (Publishers Weekly)

"Rice takes her cast of characters - including the naughty French-speaking parrot, Percy - on a passionate, sensual, rib-tickling romance. A master of the nuances of humor, she brings joy, lots of love, and plenty of laughter to this fast-paced, unforgettable second Rebellious Sons story." (Joan Hammond, RT Reviews)

"Every character entertains and satisfies.... It's a sweet, sexy, fun romp with so much heart. I can't wait to read the next book in the series." (Anne Gracie, author of The Accidental Wedding)

Entertaining

I loved the narrator. Liked humor mystery and accurate depiction of Autism. laughed alot.

I enjoyed this book!

I truly enjoyed this Circle of Friends. Jocelyn and Blake were a delight! Their story was was full of Romance an

d Adventure. I love all the surrounding characters. None of them are conventional. I would recommend this to family and friends!

Brilliant

To be honest, I did not think much in the beginning. But as the story went on I found myself caught up in the strength of Joslin the female protagonist. She fits so well with Blake, even though their personalities are so far apart. Fun, witty and intriguing book. I fully recommend.

A solid entry in this series!

I enjoyed this second entry in the series. Blake and Jocelyn each have personal issues to overcome, and eventually (finally!) they were able to come to an understanding. The secondary characters were there in full force (with appearances by Fitz and Abby). Instead of adorable children, we had adorable animals. All in all, a satisfying, well-plotted story. On to the next one in the series!

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the book. The narrator did a decent job. I have heard some terrible ones Eliza Jane Cornell did just fine.
I do prefer male narrators though.

Like the way the characters fit

The author doesn’t take two people and make them fit together just out of the blue. Opposites they may seem to be but what each offers is just what the other needs. Loving and humorous. Well done.

Wonderful!

Hilarious, witty. and fun. I enjoyed seeing the characters evolve and the plot thicken. The story and narration work well. I am looking forward to reading more from Patricia Rice in this series.

Great story! BUT! the narrator is unbearable!

I loved the story! characters were so fun and lovable. Nice light read. No racey sex scenes. But the narrators sounds like and old which???? almost had st stop listening.

Excellent Book and listen

The story. The siblings, the parrot oh my. You will love all of the characters in this story.

Great story! Narrator needs work.

I really love this story because the plot has all kinds of twists, turns, and sub-plots in it. I did have a hard time getting into it at first though.
Honestly, I should have read the book instead of listening to it, because the narrator just didn't do it for me. She was close to monotone, and it was hard to track which character was speaking because she couldn't change the voices very well. Also, please forgive me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think she had a very good British accent. It sounded very American rather than old, posh English. Then again, being American and from the South, what do I know?
