The Marquess of Crawford, Jasper, was captivated by Lady Celia from the moment he set eyes on her, but she demanded more than he wished to give. So he let her go, never expecting to follow her. But when thoughts of her continued to fill his days and nights, he set out to find her.

Another Great Addition to the Series

This fourth installment of the series was well written and filled with endearing characters along with an engaging story line. The narrator was able to breathe life into the characters and make the story come to life.

Enjoyable, short regency romance

I enjoyed this story overall, but the way the author set up events felt awkward. Lady Celia and Lord Jasper have a not meet-cute when he refuses to help push her carriage out of the mud (and is a bit mocking in the process), but takes her back to his home, saying he will send a team for her conveyance. That's all the listener knows until the two meet again months later at a house party, and Celia fears Jasper will reveal 'what happened' to her brother and the ton. What happened? We don't know right away, but the story of what happened AFTER the duo arrived at Jasper's house is slowly revealed. There is instant attraction, forbidden passion, and two people separated by their goals (she wants to marry, he doesn't). Why is Jasper at the house party? Has time changed their feelings for each other? Has Jasper changed his mind about marrying, and can he convince Celia? I think the story would have been more coherent if the author had revealed what happened between Celia and Jasper in the beginning. As it is, I kept think I had missed something, until it was all finally revealed.

I narration was excellent, and I really enjoyed Andrea Zuvich's voice.

delighful romance

Her Perfect Scoundrel by Amanda Mariel is a delightful Regency romance that will sweep listeners into a world of mischief, passion, and second chances. The fourth book in A Rogue's Kiss series, this charming story centers around Lady Celia Kendal, a spirited woman with a knack for getting into trouble, and the Marquess of Crawford, Jasper, who can’t seem to forget her.

The audiobook brings the tension and chemistry between Celia and Jasper to life, with the narrator capturing the nuances of their complicated relationship. Celia, strong-willed and adventurous, thought her past misadventures were behind her—until Jasper arrives at her brother’s house party, stirring up old feelings and threatening to reveal their shared secret. The narrator’s portrayal of Celia’s inner conflict, torn between her past and her feelings for Jasper, adds depth to her character and keeps listeners engaged.

Jasper, a marquess who once let Celia slip away because she demanded more than he was ready to give, is now determined to win her heart. His pursuit of her is full of romantic tension and charm, and the narrator does a fantastic job of conveying his growing affection and regret over their past.

The pacing of the audiobook flows well, balancing moments of humor, flirtation, and heartfelt emotion. The classic Regency elements of house parties, witty banter, and social propriety mix perfectly with the undercurrent of unresolved feelings between the two leads. The emotional journey as Celia and Jasper attempt to reconcile their disastrous first meeting and explore the possibility of true love is both heartwarming and satisfying.

Hero to the rescue

Celia is stuck in the mud and Jasper comes along to help. This is a funny story and would have been beyond fantastic except I felt like I missed a piece of what took place. There is a six month gap between getting stuck and the two meeting up again. It's this period and what took place once she was rescued that I miss. The naration is excellent and performed to perfection.

Enjoyable

Their first meeting, including his rescue of her, didn't go very well. Jasper, Marquess of Crawford, who has not forgotten Lady Celia Kendal, manages to get an invitation to her brother’s house party, where he plans to win her heart. This is a fun, quick story. The characters are entertaining and likable. Of course, there is a happy ending. A cute, enjoyable read with entertaining narration by Andrea Zuvich.

Romantic Rogues

Her Perfect Scoundrel is a standalone Regency Era romance by Amanda Mariel. It is book four of the series A Rogue's Kiss, but the books do not need to consumed in order. I've read this this series totally out of order, on both book and Audible, and while I recognise some of the other characters when they make brief appearances, it is nothing of consequence.

The audio is fun. Andrea Zurvich is a new narrator to me. I enjoyed the voice of the narrator, whose performance was wonderful, telling the story through the voices of both Celia and Jasper. This was also a real easy listen for me, I listen to audios at 1.5x speed, so it took just under an hour to listen to this book while I was at work.

This is the story of Lady Celia Kendall, whose brother is a duke, and Lord Jasper, the Marquess of Crawford. Their first acquaintance is a rather rocky start, they do not get off on the right foot at all. Fast forward some months later, Jasper has reappeared to make it clear he now has only honourable intentions towards Celia. This is a wild ride to love, and while there is an element of instalove, there is also time taken to get to know each other.
