Publisher's summary

Every earl knows the one lady he shouldn't seduce is his best friend's little sister....

Lucy Waltham is hunting for a husband, but she needs some target practice. She turns to her brother's cold-as-ice best friend, Jeremy Trescott, the earl of Kendall, to test her seductive wiles on him before setting her sights on another man. But her practice kisses spark a smoldering passion - one that could send all her plans up in smoke. 

Jeremy has an influential title, a vast fortune, and a painful past full of secrets. He's always kept a safe distance from his own emotions - and from Lucy, who wears her heart on her sleeve. But to save his best friend's little sister from certain heartbreak, he can't stay at arm's length anymore. Their sensual battle of wills is as forbidden as it is delicious. The closer Jeremy gets to taming his temptress...the nearer he comes to losing all control. 

Contains mature themes.

GREAT til Ch. 26 (Warning & Reason for 3 Stars!)

I've love this author & series....but a WARNING to any woman survivor of sexual abuse &/or rape (yes, some of us have endured both, as children & later by husband(s) we loved)...CH. 26 has a part that if the Narrator would've just used a different tone of voice, it could've been a scene of GREAT love & caring, but instead, to a survivor, sounds (is) like a rape by a man the woman loved! What a HUGE disappointment! I couldn't take it emotionally. I LOVED the 1st of the bk & recommend it, but women w/PTSD MUST be WARNED! Mixing that horrible anger with love-making equals rape & may be ok for some women if they request it & like kinky sex, but for Survivors who've actually endured similar situations they did NOT request, do NOT like, nor want, it will push a PTSD button! It did with me!! After the scene the man looks @ the bruises, ripped clothes (a/k/a VIOLENCE!) he did to her, thd bruising between her legs "where he'd rutted like a beast", his WIFE(!), feeling "so bad" after. Any/ALL Survivors KNOW how men apologize & buy gifts after beating, hurting, raping (yes, even their own wife they say b4 God they'll cherish & honor!), & how in most to ALL cases abuse escalates to worse abuse & doesn't stop. Plz put my Warning out there. I almost returned the book JUST for this ONE PART! For now I'm skipping past it to hopefully get thru the last hour of the bk - I WAS enjoying. Very disappointed!

narrator almost ruined it for me

loved the story. I'm a huge fan of Tessa Dare and I always love her female leads. I also love that no matter how many of her stories I read they are all different. the only downfall was the narrator. she has this lisp that was distracting to me, almost to the point of giving up on listening to it at all. it could totally just be me but I could never quite tone it out. it's better sped up, which is how I listen to them, but still there.

Author paid by the word.

I liked the story but, it could have been told just as effective in fewer chapters,

Horrible!

I have grown to love Tessa Dare novels but this was horrible! The story was so boring and the narration was terrible. Bland. The heroine was annoying as could be. I was so sick of her fawning over the other character. Skip this one. There is nothing good about it.

Don't Bother

Here's my conclusion. Tessa Dare writes real books and she's BRILLIANT. And yet ...she must have a ghost writer who writes ones like this and they're just terrible. This was awful. The characters are terribly unlikable and the plot makes you want to hit your head on the wall.

Save your credit.

Love this one!

This is the rare romance I’ve listened to twice - granted my listens were a while apart (1+year) but I enjoyed it just as much the second time even knowing exactly what was going to happen! Tessa Dare’s love scenes are some of my favorites. And while the narrator isn’t perfect, I liked her voicing of the lead female.

Waaaay too many misunderstandings

The story was okay. but the characters were so frustrating. it seemed that no one did the right thing at the right time. I know a plot needs some ups and downs to keep it moving, but this was just too much!

I enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this book and found myself laughing a few times. The beginning was delightful and I generally like the development of the characters. the main characters were well matched and I'm happy that they got together. Past the middle of the book it it dragged a little but the ending was good. I enjoyed it overall.

The narrator was good in my opinion. I listened to to book it at a faster speed and it made it perfect for me.
