Dangerous

Outcasts Series, Book 1

De: Minerva Spencer

Narrado por: Heather Wilds

Lady Euphemia Marlington hasn't been free in 17 years - since she was captured by Corsairs and sold into a harem. Now the sultan is dead and Mia is back in London facing relentless newspapermen, an insatiably curious public, and her first Season. Worst of all is her ashamed father's ultimatum: marry a man of his choosing or live out her life in seclusion. No doubt her potential groom is a demented octogenarian. Fortunately, Mia is no longer a girl, but a clever woman with a secret - and a plan of her own....

Adam de Courtney's first two wives died under mysterious circumstances. Now there isn't a peer in England willing to let his daughter marry the dangerously handsome man the ton calls The Murderous Marquess. Nobody except Mia's father, the desperate Duke of Carlisle. Clearly Mia must resemble an aging matron, or worse. However, in need of an heir, Adam will use the arrangement to his advantage....

But when the two outcasts finally meet, assumptions will be replaced by surprises, deceit by desire-and a meeting of minds between two schemers may lead to a meeting of hearts - if the secrets of their pasts don't tear them apart....

Contains mature themes.

Great story wasted by a newscaster narrator

I felt like I was listening to BBC News, not a BBC miniseries. Why the heck this narrator was chosen is beyond me—what a waste of a cool premise! I had to tough this one out so hard

I loved it

What a great story ! The narrator did an awesome job brioche characters to live .. loved the story

A Bit of Everything

I’m so happy to have found this one. It has everything. A great story. The characters are witty. The hero and heroine had both been through so much in their lives. They deserved their happy ending. The love scenes were so steamy yet tasteful. There was also interesting adventure involved. The author developed a superb story and I absolutely loved the narrator’s sultry voice. She pulled off the male and female characters’ voices well. This didn’t cost a credit. It’s included with membership. I’m grateful and have listened several times. You will enjoy it!

5 Star Romance, Interesting and Passionate

I recently went on a romance novel kick that lasted about a year and a half while I was working on a project that gave me busy hands and a free mind. After a while they all start sounding the same, but this one stood out. I very much enjoyed it! At first I thought it would just be the "escaped from a harem" trope that was really common about a million years ago when I first dipped into the genre, but it was not. Both main characters are flawed but strong, and their romance bloomed in a believable way. If you tend to judge characters for their mistakes harshly, this probably isnt the book for you. I usually archive them once read but I think I'll keep this one to listen to again sometime. I have diverse interests and many choices, so this is the top compliment I can give. Definitely worth the read.

Loved it!

Excellent characters with a different twist to the usual historical romance novels. Easy listen & keeps your interest!
