Poison or Protect

A Delightfully Deadly Novella

De: Gail Carriger

Narrado por: Suzanne Lavington

Can one gentle Highland soldier woo Victorian London's most scandalous lady assassin, or will they both be destroyed in the attempt?

New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger presents a stand-alone romance novella set in her popular steampunk universe full of manners, spies, and dainty sandwiches.

Lady Preshea Villentia, the Mourning Star, has four dead husbands and a nasty reputation. Fortunately, she looks fabulous in black. What society doesn't know is that all her husbands were marked for death by Preshea's employer. And Preshea has one final assignment.

It was supposed to be easy, a house party with minimal bloodshed. Preshea hadn't anticipated Captain Gavin Ruthven - massive, Scottish, quietly irresistible, and...working for the enemy. In a battle of wits, Preshea may risk her own heart - a terrifying prospect, as she never knew she had one.

Delicate sensibilities? Contains men pleasing women, and ladies who know what they want and ask for it, sometimes in detail. May also contain plaid, appearances from dandy vampires, and the strategic application of leather gloves.

Fanning myself fro the heat

MINOR SPOILER:
I love the dominant woman/ submissive man dynamic and wish that more books had it. Well executed, heat rushed to face multiple times. I love the Parasol Protectorate universe, and need far more books in it.

sweet scotts

I think my favorite part was how gentle Gavin has been in the face of his lady's past trauma. And yet it was still steamy! That poor lobster, though XD

LOVE!!!

I LOVE EVERYTHING WROTE BY GAIL!!! SHES SOOO AMAZING!!! I CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO MORE!!!!

Can’t get enough

I love Gail Carriger‘s writings. She is one of my favorite authors, and Suzanne Lavington did such an amazing job narrating this novella. I could listen to another 14 hours of this series made into a book. However I’ll just have to look forward to any other books writer by Gail Carriger and hope that she uses Suzanne as a narrator again soon.

Wonderful as Ever

I've read, or listened​ to, every Gail Carriger book in the finishing school universe and this one it's just as thoughtful and witty as the rest. Lavington does a wonderful job narrating, making a great book just that much better. I look forward to more delightfully​ deadly novellas.
