Seduced by His Touch

De: Tracy Anne Warren

Narrado por: Rebecca De Leeuw

He had to marry her

Everyone in London agrees the Byrons are just as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" as their poetic non-relation. But Lord Jack Byron is facing a predicament that is scandalous...even for him!

Marry a young woman because he lost a bet? Unreformed rake Lord Jack Byron would do anything to get out of it. But the rich merchant who holds his debt insists Jack lead his on-the-shelf daughter to the altar...and make her believe it's a love match. With no options, Jack agrees, thinking he'll be shackled to a closed-in spinster.

But Grace Danvers is no milk-and-water miss. When he first encounters her in a London bookstore, Jack is struck by her tempting sensuality and soon becomes determined to bed - and wed - her (in that order!). Yet though he plans to seduce her with his touch, he never dreams he'll also want to win her with his love.

Really Great Book

I loved this book. I read a review that discussed the heroine's angst and was unsure. I now know why the heroine had so much trouble believing that she could be loved. She was so insecure on so many levels and had no female insights to help her to understand how to view herself.
The two men in her life ( her father and the hero) had nothing about them that made them insecure. Jack was from a loving and supportive family and her father was a very successful business man. She was a great artist, but that was not a valuable talent in this era. I think her internal dialogue where she has to say things to the hero that salvages her pride, but inside she really wants to be with the hero. Sometimes this is the divide that people feel...having to say things, but wanting someone to talk you out of it.(like a friend that talks you into buying something outside of your budget)
When she comes to understand the quality of his love, it is more profound, as this is not just her believing him, but in herself and that she is worthy of love. I was very touched by the HEA of this story.
The narrator is very good. She sounds like Bianca Amato, who I like a lot. Not sure if this is not the same person.
I recommend this book and found it worth the credit.

Another excellent Byron brother tale!

I listened to this Audible book, even though I had already read it in print. I also read some of the reviews and one reader mistakenly thought that a minor character in the story was the main character, and complained that the “lover boy” was gay and thus refused to hear the story. There could not have been more than a few paragraphs with this character. Please do not miss this great story in the collection because of an erroneous comment in the review.

Good but not as great as book 1

There were parts of the book I truly loved and other parts I felt angst. At times I felt these two needed to communicate and stop being so insecure. It was a good book but book 1 was much better. I’m currently on the 3rd in the series and intend to listen to the whole family because they really are great books. I wish they would’ve used a different narrator since the male voice isn’t as masculine as I’d like.

Lover boy is NOT bisexual!

I always check out the reviews before purchasing a book and I almost didn’t get this one because reviewer Martha Trotter said “the lover boy is gay. Can not do gay men in my love story.”

I was not wild about the main character being bisexual either... so I almost didn’t get this. I figured I could stop listening if went that way. But he is NOT bisexual. I don’t know if Martha got confused with the names in the story or what, but the man who she called lover boy was actually a very minor part and was hardly in the story at all!!

I felt like that needed to be cleared up because her review is near the top and very misleading.

I’m torn on this story because by the end I was happy with how it all played out. But in the beginning I found Jack to be a bit creepy with his advances. Especially when she was drunk. But after they got to know each other I liked him... for a little while. I started to get a little bored and kind of wanted the story to end. It seemed really long and drawn out.

But like I said I really enjoyed the ending. Although I would have liked an epilogue. I’ve noticed this author doesn’t do those.

Loved it!

I loved the caracters and how their love grew. The narrator did an excellent job! She did a nice male voice, did accents and a bit theater if you know what I mean. Perfect! I totally recommend this book!
