The Wicked Wyckerly

De: Patricia Rice

Narrado por: Eliza Jane Cornell

NYT and USA Today best-selling author! Nominated for the prestigious romance Rita award!

John Fitzhugh Wyckerly has been the spare heir all his life, supporting himself with gambling and charm. The news that he's inherited the bankrupt title of earl of Danecroft shatters his indolent world. Even penniless, he's always paid his debts, but now the estate's creditors are closing in. He can fake his death and run for cover or accept overwhelming responsibility and find a rich wife - one who will also accept his illegitimate terror of a daughter.

On his way to find an heiress, he meets Abigail Merriweather, who is neither rich nor aristocratic, but she can tame The Terror and stomp cockroaches. Unfortunately she needs a wealthy, powerful man who will fight her father's executor and retrieve her four half siblings. When an unexpected inheritance falls into Abby's lap, she sets out for London to seek a lawyer.

Can Fitz charm his practical Abby into trusting him to save her siblings when it's doubtful that he can even save himself? And can Abby surrender reason and logic for the folly of love offered by a man who can have any woman he wants but insists he wants only her?

Wicked Indeed

Fitzhugh had been the spare and never thought he would inherit. But when he becomes the Earl after his father and brother die he is at his wits end on what to do with a penniless Earldom. First priority is his illegitimate daughter Penny.
On his way back to town with his daughter they are thrown out of the mail coach at Ms. Abigails home. She reluctantly takes them in not knowing he’s an Earl.
Abigail needs help of a solicitor to help get her siblings back. When she finds out she is an heiress she’s off to London with Fitz and Penny to try and find a solicitor that will help and maybe a husband.
A wonderful story with a great ending!

Loved it ...

Loved it the first time I read it and loved it the second time when I heard it.

good story. narrators voices hard to discern

I liked the story it was cute and loved how it had a few different items compared to other similar romances. the difficultpart was that sometimes the character voices were hard to tell apart. but i do like the narrators voice.

Good story

Could not put it down till the end.

Good read

Entertaining story. Great characters. Nice narration. Well done story. Poor H/h trying to support family and make a living.

Narration snob

Great story. I enjoyed it. Well written. I admit I'm a snob about narration. After listening to countless audio books over the years & enjoying many truly great narrators; I struggle to finish a book that is narrated poorly. 99% of the time after listening to a sample of the story I will not purchase even books that are part of a series I love if the narration is poorly done. This narrator is very good. I could pick up a couple of different accents & not sure if that is deliberate or just her way of changing the characters. She has proper timing and intonation in her story telling. This is an enjoyable story and pleasant listen!
