The Devil's Own

The Wicked Waywards, Book 1

De: Liana LeFey

Narrado por: Allie Rose

Lord Devlin Wayward, gambler and dedicated rake, returns home for the first time in years, and lands himself and his identical twin, Daniel, the good reverend, in deep trouble. Devlin ends up with a broken leg and unable to travel to London, yet he must return. He's got an important deal that will make or break his fortune. He persuades the reluctant reverend to take his place in London while he temporarily minds his brother's flock.

Miss Mary Tomblin is taken with the devastatingly handsome reverend. He represents everything she desires in a husband, after narrowly evading a ruthless rake last Season. Mary knows she'll make him an excellent wife, but the vicar rebuffs every advance—until he suddenly accepts her help with pastoral duties while his broken leg heals. Mary seizes the chance to show the good reverend what an excellent helpmeet she will be.

The devil takes on the role of village vicar and discovers it's nowhere near as easy as he imagined—especially when he falls in love with an angel who mistakes him for a saint.

Contains mature themes.

Disappointing

Terrible Narration, with the reader (Allie Rose - previously unknown to me) actually laughing, tittering, snorting, as well making other rather unpleasant voice inflections every time the author indicated laughter or expressed emotion. At the beginning the Narration was the problem, but I continued to listen hoping it would get better, but then it was also a TERRIBLE story. "Hero" was a lying drunken twin brother of a not-so-great vicar. The "romance" included first time sex with a drunken man. with heroine getting pregranant and family working to find "hero" to marry her. "Hero" swore used old type swear words continually in his thoughts. So tired of reading/hearing "Bloody Hell" etc. Whole thing was disgusting, and my prediction for a future life with someone with the "hero"s character would certainly not be a "Happily Ever After". I plan to never read anything again by that author and I hope I never again inadvertently buy or hear anything by the narratator Allie Rose.
