Besotted with the Viscount

De: Susanna Malcolm

Narrado por: Nicholas Boulton

Laura Kinsale presents...

the charming and hilarious new author, Susanna Malcolm, with a classic Regency that only Nicholas Boulton could narrate so perfectly.

Lord Gideon Birch, wounded former naval Captain and freshly minted Viscount, has a colorful history as a renowned lover of women. But a decade at war has transformed this sensual rake, and what he wants now is only to live a life on his own terms.

And so, he comes to the quietest village in England, searching for serenity and instead, encounters an astonishingly enthralling pair of green eyes that unsettle his carefully constructed world.

Though she would love nothing more than to leave Littleover, Miss Theadosia Ridley is sorely hampered by a lack of funds. Desperately trying to earn enough to feed herself and her ailing family servant, she must reluctantly accept Lord Birch's opportune offer of employment: He needs her and her knowledge of Greek to catalog and translate the extensive library he's accumulated over the course of the war.

Dubious of his motives, she vows to keep her distance from the dashing newcomer. But time in his company unveils a compelling man far more complex than his shallow reputation would lead one to believe. Can she uphold her vow not to succumb to his charms?

Beautiful Story

First time reading this author and loved her work. The author is a wonderful storyteller and holds the reader every minute and page of the story. You will love this story for its depth and understanding of what makes us love another person, flaws be dammed. The ending will make you smile and glad that love still exist. L. H. H

Gratuitous Sex Scenes

The sex scenes were too graphic and protracted. I would rather focus on the story line. A good story does not need the gory details.

Nicholas Boulton is the BEST

One of my go to male narrators-I will buy a book just to hear him read it! But this story also happens to be very sweet. Is it accurate historical? …of course not it’s fiction and it sweet with lovely characters. Has a start a middle and it ends. No cliff hangers no guessing games. I’ve listened to this more than once.

Riveting tale.

The author does a fine job with the characters. One starts to care about them from the very first page. Nice descriptions. Nicely plotted. The only historical howler is the mention of purchasing a commission in the Royal Navy. I cringed every time that was mentioned. Excellent narrator!

Marvelous Narrator

Nicholas Boulton has a resonant, rumbling voice and the ability to perform believable women, none with squeaky voices. An intelligent heroine although a bit contradictory. I would liked to have heard more of the hero’s back story.
All in all, an enjoyable listen.
