Resumen del Editor

For years, he's been an object of fear, fascination...and fantasy. But of all the wicked rumors that shadow the formidable Alexander Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge, the ton knows one thing for certain: Only fools dare cross him. And when Ian Eversea does just that, Moncrieffe knows the perfect revenge: He'll seduce Ian's innocent sister, Genevieve - the only Eversea as yet untouched by scandal. First he'll capture her heart...and then he'll break it.

But everything about Genevieve is unexpected: the passion simmering beneath her cool control, the sharp wit tempered by gentleness...and though Genevieve has heard the whispers about the duke's dark past, and knows she trifles with him at her peril, one incendiary kiss tempts her deeper into a world of extraordinary sensuality. Until Genevieve is faced with a fateful choice...is there anything she won't do for a duke?

Contains mature themes.

Finally a good story

In this bing society, it’s so easy to become bored. I was looking for a romance story with depth , angst, fire and a good HEA. This was it . I only read one of the other books in this series and that was enough to not get lost in this one. It can be read as a standalone, so don’t feel as if you have to start from a book one. The narrator is always one of my favorites, and she did a stellar job here as usual.

Cute

Surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to listen because it was the middle of the series but it was very good

perfection.

great writing, frustrating romance, fantastic... the characters were interesting and evolving, I can't say enough.

Too short!

This book had everything, and then more! I wished it wouldn’t end. I will look forward to reading more books by this author.

Is it Lust or Love?

Genevieve has loved Harry for years, they are such good friends, they like the same things. She has waited three years for him to propose and then he tells her he is going to propose to their friend Millicent. This sends her into a slow developing romance with another house-party guest, Alex Moncrieff, the Duke of Falconridge. But Alex is at the party to seek revenge on Genevieve's brother, Ian, and what better way than to seduce his sister.

Julie Anne Long brings about what at first seems impossible. Turning a love addled miss into a passionate siren with the "wrong" man.

This is probably my favorite book of the series and I'm delighted that the series is now on Audible.
I also initially found the narration to be too fast but I could adjust it on my Fire tablet so it was not a problem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Revenge turns into … Thank you to the author and narrator. I enjoyed wonderful, lovely story !

Loved it!

My first read from this author and I just could t stop until the end.. the ending was a little too quick and tidy for me but I loved the journey. Main characters are absolutely lovable - Gifted writer who brought the characters to life.. narration was ok.

Loved it

I loved the writing, the story, the characters, and the narration by the ever fabulous Justine Eyre.

Magnificent book

The first time I read this book, I breezed through it and was not impressed. Some years later, I read it again, slowly, and found it to be fantastic. I wrote in my review:
"It's true, as I said, that not a lot happens here. The story spans about a week during a house party at the Eversea's Sussex estate. Alex arrives intending to take revenge on Ian Eversea by seducing his younger sister, Genevieve, who is already in love with Harry. Then he changes his mind. And Genevieve changes hers. The end.
But, oh the journey that these two make to reach their happy conclusion is quite lovely. Ms. Long's prose sparkles; her humor insinuates itself without ever being laugh out loud. But you must read it thoroughly and not skim over the interior monologues (as I tended to do)."

So listen carefully, because it is worth your attention.

nice quick atory.

The audio book was fast paced, kept me entertained, and was full of humor. Justine Eyre is a lovely narrator, she gets the emotions right and is a pleasure to listen to.
