De: Lauren Smith

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

Helen Banks is going to die. When her twin brother gambles away their fortune, she must save his life and take his place in a duel to satisfy the honor of a man her brother couldn't pay. Disguised as her brother, Helen faces the one man she's admired from afar, a widower with a dark past and eyes that scorch her very soul.

Since Gareth Fairfax lost his wife, the darkness in his heart continues to grow. Lashing out at anyone who opposes him, Gareth is stunned to face a lovely young woman opposite his dueling pistol. After discovering Helen's deception, he offers her a choice: become his mistress or her brother dies.

Their devil's bargain turns into a slow, sweet, intoxicating seduction. With each passing hour, Helen uncovers Gareth's secret heartbreak and yet she can't help but fall for the man who has ruined her. With Helen in his arms, Gareth wonders if he might yet be saved. All it takes is one passionate embrace, a kiss from the depths of his soul and a night of wild abandon. Contains mature themes.

Meh

I would say there are some moments that are decent and show signs of a decent plot line. However it seems rushed and cheesy most. Short story. Not worth a credit

Fun little story!

I liked this story but disappointed on male character for being such a rouge at first, how can one change so quickly? But entertaining.

Thank you!

The writer and narrator are awesome! Thank you I enjoyed the story, it had little of everything specially how brave the girl is….

Great Seduction Audible!

I just loved the characters in this audible. The storyline was fantastic. The narrator was great and made the story come alive. I will continue to listen to the complete series. Wonderful author!

Story ok

Story ruined by to much detailed sex which is not well received and ruined the story for me

Entertaining

Short but very entertaining. No boring unnecessary and repetitive details and dialogues. I recommend it for light reading when one just wants to spend a relaxing evening.

It's a 3 hour short story.

Personally, for a free book that I get to read because it's included with my membership, it's good. I kind of hate having to sit through a 7 to 10 hour long story with slow burn. This is straight to the point cute romance, miscommunication, all your general tropes. The ending is too quick, and I did want more of an epilog, but again, for 3 hour quick story, I'm satisfied. I want to keep reiterating that it's a 3 hour short story because all these reviews complain that it's missing all this stuff. It's a 3 hour short story. It's not going to have all the meat that a 10 hour book is going to have. And again, for a book that I did not have to pay credit for, I enjoyed it. The narrator did a really good job, no complaints.

Quick story

Just a fun quick story, blink and your done. On to the next book, hopes it good.

Good, if you don’t think too deeply

A lady duelist? An honorable debaucher? Love in a day? If you close one eye (or ear, 😜) and see this with regency rose colored glasses, it’s a swift, steamy good time. Just enough contrived story to get right to the naughty bits. As a free listen, this was excellent.

there should have been more.

I enjoy the story. However, I feel like the characters could have been developed a little bit more. I feel like Realistically people cannot fall in love in a day. And that just didn't sit well with me for whatever reason. I could understand those feelings of love coming from her going towards him, because she had seen him before and she had already had an idea of him being the man of her dreams. he had no idea who she was. she could have been any woman off the street ,salon, Or back room? Also, he was awfully aggressive out in the woods or wherever they were. So there's that too, so if this story was able to be developed more, maybe even spend like another chapter or 2 of history on her specifically, that would be great.
