Her Errant Earl

Wicked Husbands Series, Book 1

By: Scarlett Scott

Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker

An American heiress married for her dowry.

When Victoria fell in love with the Earl of Pembroke, she never imagined he'd heartlessly wed, bed, and abandon her in the countryside. After he suddenly returns, determined to prove to her he's a changed man, she's not about to forgive him, trust him, or succumb to his scorching kisses.

A future duke trapped by obligation.

Will has devoted his life to enraging his loathsome father by creating one scandal after the next. Duty forces him back to the wife he resents, but he isn't prepared for the raw desire she makes him feel. Seducing her will hardly be a tedious task. Guarding his heart, however, is another matter entirely.

A marriage of convenience no more.

What begins in deception and necessity turns into an attraction neither can deny. Can their newfound passion keep them together forever, or will the truth tear them apart?

Contains mature themes.

Okay

This story had potential but the female lead was too forgiving, succumbed to her wayward husband’s sexual advances too much plus too much sex for a short book. Would have liked to have more conflict with the father & male lead , and having more proof of changing his lifestyle. Also would have liked to hear more from his opera singer lover’s attempts to get him back. I think probably book too short to build real interest by the reader.

Not as good as as newer novels

My first Scarlett Scott novel was a more recent publication. While this isn’t a bad novel, she’s clearly that she has gotten so much better in the last 10+ years since this was published. Parts of it drag a bit with predictability, especially as it neared the end. I kind of wanted to speed the pace up.

Now the good! It’s moderately spicy & you don’t have to wait long to get to it. Despite some predictability, the story itself was fairly unique.

And lastly, the narrator/performer is great. She’s actually one of my favorites.

disappointed

it was a ok story and the narrator did ok but the leading lady got on my nerves so bad with her childish actions. and i had to fast forward her stubborn and childish actions. They got on my nerves so bad i had to fast forward so I didn't slap or throw my phone. cause I wanted to slap her and tell her to grow up. sorry not my favorite.

Acceptable

The story is fine, although it takes too long to actually begin, with all the internal monologues.
The narrator has a speech defect, which becomes annoying, at times. She doesn't have much range, so there is not much difference between voices. The American accent is acceptable, probably because there is not that much spoken by her at any one time, so it doesn't become too grating.
Not sure it is worth a credit, if you need to pay for it.

Loved the story

This book really tells how much work a marriage is or can be. I’m moving on the book 2
