A period piece with some sizzle

This was a tender, emotionally grounded historical romance with just the right amount of heat and heart. I went into it expecting something light, but was pleasantly surprised by the layers of intimacy, grief, and personal growth the characters explore together.

The heroine is both witty and guarded, using humor and boldness to cover a deeper vulnerability. The hero brings a steady emotional presence, and I appreciated how the story allowed him to engage with relational conflict in a calm, respectful way — not with assumptions, but with conversation. That felt incredibly refreshing.

There’s a quiet but powerful thread about how loss shapes identity, and how permission to move forward sometimes comes in unexpected forms. These emotional beats were handled with care and depth, without weighing down the story’s overall sweetness.

The spice level felt just right for a historical novella — a 3 out of 5 — suggestive but grounded in emotional connection.

The voice acting was solid and consistent. With a single narrator, I was still easily able to follow each character, and the pacing made for a very enjoyable listen.

Final Take:
A short and heartfelt romance with thoughtful emotional layers and a satisfying arc. If you’re looking for something that balances historical charm with real emotional insight, this one delivers.

Lady Disaster and Lord Disgraceful

This is a sweet, charming, and very enjoyable short Regency romance listen about two outcasts from the Ton. Lady Constantine was raised in the country after her mother died when she was seven years old, so she lacks the grace and poise expected of a well-born lady. Marquess Gulliver, Seth Mowbray has his own past and reputation, and is a well-known rake among the ton. There is more to both individuals than meets the eye. Can they cast off society's expectations to find a HEA together? I loved this story. Although it is relatively short at 3 hours, the characters and story were well-developed and complete. I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick romantic escape.

The narration was perfect and relaxing. It suited the characters and the story. I believe there were one or two repeated lines, but nothing egregious to detract from the story.

Sweet Regency Romance!

This is the second novella in A Rogue's Kiss Series, a Regency Romance. Seth and Constantine's story is entertaining, funny, and engaging, filled with miscommunication, and romance. Seth, a rake, aka lord disgraceful, is handsome, and supportive. I liked his determination. Constantine, aka lady disaster, is beautiful, smart, and strong. They are opposites attract, and they complement each other. The supporting characters are interesting. This is a great clean Regency Romance. Looking forward to more in the series. Anne Marie Damman did a great job bringing this story to life. She has a beautiful voice. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sweet Historical Romance with Spice

3.75/5

After an unfortunate first season, Lady Constantine Hartley has resigned herself to spinsterhood, or a reclusive life with a country husband. Marquess Gulliver, Seth Mowbray is a known rogue who feels an inevitable attraction towards the unrefined Lady.

This is a short sweet historical romance with plenty of spice. I was instantly charmed by Seth and his caring and considerate nature. I also liked Constantine, though she often felt like a stereotypical simple country girl. I really appreciated how supportive Lady Celia was of her friend, and would love to see more of her story. Overall I quite enjoyed my time spent with this story.

Constantine and Seth

This is a sweet and clean romance. A lot of information is provided in the beginning, which helps with a shorter story. I did not feel the story was rushed or missing anything. If flushed out, it would make a good full-length novel. It was an enjoyable story to listen to. Constantine is a bit of a social disaster. Seth is a rake, from a dysfunctional family that does not show love and emotional attachments. Narration was good. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review

Lady Disaster and the Rake

Lady Constantine is socially award.  Since her mother’s death, she and her father has lived quietly in the country.  Her first season was embarrassing.  Her missteps with society’s rules and her clumsiness earned her the moniker Lady Disaster.  Lord Gulliver is a rake.  He doesn’t look for or expect love.  He has never had any from anyone.  When Seth and Constantine meet at a house party, there is a definite connection, but will it lead to more?  This is a charming story with great characters, a little drama, a spicy romance, and a wonderfully happy ending.  Great narration by Anne Marie Dammon.

Seth and Constantine

Book two of the A Rogue's Kiss series a well written story with a great storyline. This is Marquess Gulliver, Seth Mowbray and Lady Constantine Hartley's story of two people that are meant to be together. I enjoyed seeing their story develop. I enjoyed listening to their story and Anne Marie Damman narrate their story.

captivating love

Lady Constantine had not been out in the society for awhile since her mother's death. During the season she was with her aunt, she met Marquess Gulliver. Both started to fall for each other but Lady Constantine had reservations.

This was a love (but steamy story ) of two, who seems to be society outcasts. Love the characters especially the caring Lady Constantine. and you will fall in love with the deep Love of the Marquess.

Read and enjoy such a captivating love. (NOTE has steamy scenes and thus for mature readers only).
