A Rogue in the Making

Forever Yours, Book 11

By: Stacy Reid

Narrated by: Catherine Bilson

Miss Juliana Pryce is on the run from her dastardly stepfather, who wants to control her wealth by marrying her off to his son! Knowing that she only has to escape their clutches for a few weeks until she comes of age, Juliana resolves to hide. The perfect place seemed to be in the household of Wentworth, the Earl of Rawlings!

Wentworth’s nose is always buried in a book, and despite meddling suggestions from his mother, he has little care for a lady’s companionship or matters of the heart. Until one day, he notices that stunningly lush derriere of his new valet! His suspicion stirs by his valet’s boldness and unconventional behavior, Wentworth resolves to an experiment: Find out if his valet is a woman.

Wentworth embarks on a campaign of roguish behavior! What will the scholarly earl do when the lush derriere, plump lips, and sensual smile he is so singularly attracted to are that of a lady’s?

Warning: steam level - hot!

Performance takes a little getting used to.

The story is cute. Things progress very rapidly… or they start very slowly? It seems like some things could have been fleshed out more - like the step father/brother or his family or their relationship beyond the spicy bits - but it was alright.

The performer’s voice is very pretty, but it takes a little getting used to. While a lot of performers of romance novels have a more lilting/breathy tone, this performer has a very strong/assured tone. Very pretty.

A sneaky tale

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this , but the author does a masterful job with the characters. One begins to care about them gradually, and then one can’t stop listening until they are happy. Wow. The narration is wonderful.
