Seducing a Stranger

Goode Girls, Book 1 and Victorian Rebels, Book 7

By: Kerrigan Byrne

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Sir Carlton Morley is famously possessed of extraordinary will, singular focus, and a merciless sense of justice. As a man, he secured his fortune and his preeminence as Scotland Yard's ruthless chief inspector. As a decorated soldier, he was legend for his unflinching trigger finger, his precision in battle, and his imperturbable strength. But as a boy, he was someone else. A twin, a thief, and a murderer, until tragedy reshaped him.

Now he stalks the night, in search of redemption and retribution, vowing to never give into temptation, as it's just another form of weakness. Until temptation lands - quite literally - in his lap, taking the form of Prudence Goode. Prim and proper Pru is expected to live a life of drudgery, but before she succumbs to her fate, she craves just one night of desire.

On the night she searches for it, she stumbles upon a man made of shadows, muscle and wrath...and decides he is the one. When their firestorm of passion burns out of control, Morley discovers, too late, that he was right. The tempting woman has become his weakness. A weakness his enemies can use against him.

Contains mature themes.

Wonderful

Full of adventure and love, another wonderful book from this author! Five Stars! A must read!

A new twist

I really enjoyed this book. It stayed true to the dark and dangerous theme of all the precious books but with a slightly different twist. I love that precious hero’s and heroines continue to come to life book after book, so that you may fall in love with them all over again. Very good book.

The whole series is nonstop action and intrigue

I am so impressed by your ability to write! I have listened to your entire series and I am blown away with the different characters and their backgrounds. We so often forget the imprisoned; their stories, their lives and the wickedness of prison; especially prison in earlier centuries. I have not read/listened to stories about prisoners before your series. Men who had to battle their way back to civilization, through hardships most would have given up on, with the families life gave them. Excellent, well done, well written.
And Derek, I don’t think anyone could bring those lives, those stories to life better than you have in your narration. You do all the voices, accents, and situations so well it is like being there. Exceptional narration, well done.

Marvelous narrator!

The whole series is very interesting, but the perfect and passionate narration makes all the difference compared to other books from this genre. Thank you Kerrigan Byrne and Derek Perkins!

Morley Meets His Match!

4.5 stars! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I have been waiting for Morley’s story since book one and was not disappointed. Morley is a man on a secret mission after hours and his first encounter with Pru is surprising and passionate. The two of them have amazing chemistry throughout the book. They meet again three months later under unusual and strained circumstances and crime solving ensues. I loved the development of the relationship between Morley and Pru and thought the two of them made for a good pairing. Derek Perkins was an excellent narrator and really brought the story and characters to life!

Although this book could be listened to as a standalone, I think it would be enjoyed more if the listener has read/listened to the previous books in the series. It was a lot of fun to catch up with some the characters from previous books and the banter among the guys was so much fun!
