Scandal Takes the Stage

The Wicked Quills of London

By: Eva Leigh

Narrated by: Mandy Williams

Together they may create a scandal worthy of the stage, but can their love last after the final curtain falls…?

Successful playwright Maggie Delamere has no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron, Viscount Marwood. She once paid dearly for a moment of weakness…and vows to rebuff the wildly persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every turn. But when pressure to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation to use his country estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist....

For years, Cam has admired Maggie’s brilliant work and he can’t pass up the opportunity to discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as passionate and clever as the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a lady his bed without being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her inhibitions—he’ll do exactly that.

But soon Cam’s plans for seduction become a fight for Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree rake society believes him to be…and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.

Good second book in this series

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. This second one in the series, Maggie's story, was quite good. The lead characters in this series are successful women who write - a great premise for a series. I never really learned why Cam insisted he wouldn't marry, though. And the book ended without revealing a certain portion of Maggie's past that I was sure would get resolved.

The narration was great! This book was very enjoyable.

Enjoyable story

I enjoyed it but there were times that I felt it was too long. I listened to it on a trip and it made the trip go fast.

Pretty good

I liked the first book better but this one was pretty good. Somehow not much happened and I got a bit tired of it during the last 1/4 of the book but listened through to get to the HEA. I liked the characters well enough but somehow it just didn’t grip me Iike the first one. I might try the last of this series though.

Lightweight....

There wasn't a whole lot to this tale. What there was didn't need to take so long, it was a simple tale. That said.... it was enjoyable. Yet something was missing. Even in the epilogue I was waiting for 'it'.

NARRATOR: Lacking....easily tolerated but a slight speech/enunciation issue pulled me back out of the story on a regular basis. I'll avoid her.

HEAT FACTOR : 3 out of 5 stars...
