His Wicked Reputation

De: Madeline Hunter

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

She was a sensible woman, he was a man who could drive a woman senseless with desire...

Gareth Fitzallen is celebrated for four things: his handsome face, his notable charm, his aristocratic connections, and an ability to give the kind of pleasure that has women begging for more. Normally he bestows his talents on experienced, worldly women. But when he heads to Langdon's End to restore a property he inherited - and to investigate a massive art theft - he lays plans to seduce a most unlikely lady.

Eva Russell lives a spinster's life of precarious finances and limited dreams while clinging to her family's old gentry status. She supports herself by copying paintings while she plots to marry her lovely sister to a well-established man. Everyone warns her of Gareth's reputation, advising her to lock her sister away. Only it is not her sister Gareth desires. One look and she knows he is trouble. One kiss, however, proves she is no match for this master of seduction.

Great writing & narration; story beyond ordinary

I love this voice artist. She does a variety of accents well and does a good job with both female and male voices. It was my first time "reading" anything written by Madeline Hunter, but the writing is superior to typical historical romance, and everything seems plausible. Finally a story about people other than lords and ladies!

Meh...

I found this book boring. Lots of sex and not much else. The "mystery" was glaringly obvious early on in the book.

Great romance!

performance and storyline are excellent. Mary Jane Wells portrays the characters well and compliments a very well written story.

Charming...and Sexy!

This is my first Madeline Hunter book and I was impressed by what a good storyteller she is. It was a breath of fresh air to have an historical romance set in England, but not set around “The Ton, ballrooms, and all the tiresome restrictions that go with those type of stories. This takes place in a small country town where our heroine, Eva, lives in gentile poverty with her younger sister, Rebecca, on what’s left of their family estate. She runs in our hero, Garrett, while out walking, he’s visiting his inherited property he hasn’t seen in years. I don’t want to say anything else because it’s all clues from here on out. I really liked the characters, the story, and the narrator was perfect. I liked that the this was a sweet, funny, sexy love story and a complicated (stolen paintings) mystery story also. Never a boring minute and I was sorry when it ended.

Not a cookie cutter romance

I enjoyed the fact that the storyline wasn’t the typical one for a historical romance. The storyline was entertaining, the narrator was perfect- overall fun listen!
