The Bedeviled Viscount Brockton

By: Kasey Michaels

Narrated by: Richard Turner

Country born and bred Miss Caledonia Johnston has come to London during the Silly Season, not to dance and flirt, and please her Mama by making an advantageous match.

In fact, her parents don’t even know she’s there, which is probably a good thing, as she’s fibbed her way to Mayfair to Wreak Revenge on a certain Mr. Noel Kinsey (and sees nothing wrong with that because, well, she’s Callie, and she somehow believes she’s rather invincible, with Right on her side).

Enter one Simon Roxbury, Viscount Brockton, surprising himself when he comes to Callie’s aid...which infuriates her, but she’ll find a way around him to complete her “mission.” He seems nice enough, and his mother is a dear thing, so she agrees to be good...especially considering she’d almost shot the man.

Come along as amused friends interfere, simple plans twist themselves into hilarious knots, and True Love (currently hiding in the bushes, hoping to remain safe away from these two mis-matched schemers), takes a few chances of its own.

Critic reviews

"Using wit and romance with a master's skill, Kasey Michaels aims for the heart and never misses." (Number one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts)

Great story!

The Bedeviled Viscount Brockton by Kasey Michaels and narrated by Richard Turner is a delightful romp in England when won and lost fortunes at cards and fell in love with the most amazing women! The story was fast paced with just enough slow spots to let the romance happen.
The narrator was excellent! I loved it when he narrated the butler’s story about what Callie has done to Lester!
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and hope you will too!

Witty and smart

So much fun! My favorite part of this book is the wit. The characters have such a lovely dry sense of humor. They get up to all kinds of zany things, and I laughed out loud several times. Add in the excellent historical research, and this book is a definite keeper. Also, Richard Turner is one of my favorite narrators. He handles the characters so well and brings out the nuances of their personalities.

Wonderful!

This could quite possibly be one of the best books I have listened to, and I have listened to a lot, and I mean a lot!!!! It was great to have a book that had a good storyline and did not center around sex!!! It was very funny and many times I found myself laughing out loud! It was so good that I am going to listen to it again, right now. I also plan to check out the other books written by this author which is a first for me. This book is what a good romance book should be! Bravo!

A delight from beginning to end!

I received a free listen for an honest review. Having said that, I will admit that I read Kasey Michaels when she was first published and loved her ABC Regency novels. I stopped reading her when the trend for explicit sex scenes somehow became the norm. I am delighted that she has chosen to re-write some of her novels in a "sweeter" style (no explicit sex scenes). In The Bedeviled Lord Brockton, Ms Michaels gives us a hero and a heroine who grow as the story progresses. The supporting characters are hilarious and oddly endearing. The dialog carries the reader along on to a satisfying conclusion. Was the end predictable? Perhaps a little, but the journey there was so fun, I laughed out loud more than once. All the loose ends were tied up before the final page and while I would love to see Armond, Bones and yes, even Lester find their own happy ever after, I was satisfied when the book ended and the bad guy got his in a totally unexpected way. I like Kasey Michaels' books. They are always well crafted with great pacing and excellent grammar.

I am always concerned when a man narrates a story like this and yet Mr. Richard Turner did such a great job that I easily could tell which character was speaking by the difference in the voices. His pacing was excellent. I've often had to listen for a while to understand a narrator's diction or style. That was not the case here. His enunciation was flawless. His work added to my enjoyment of the story.

I would recommend The Bedeviled Lord Brockton for anyone who enjoys a fun romp of a book sure to make almost anyone laugh out loud!

Entertaining and Memorable

This is a regency whose storyline and characters will stay in your memory. They are developed well and the narration brings the excellent story to life.
