The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes

Last Chance Scoundrels, Book 1

De: Eva Leigh

Narrado por: Zara Hampton-Brown

In USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh's new novel a notorious rake and an innocent debutante strike a scandalous bargain...

When Kieran Ransome’s latest antics result in a massive scandal, his father issues an ultimatum: find a respectable wife or inherit nothing. But as one of London’s most inveterate scoundrels, Kieran doesn’t know any ladies who fit the bill. Or does he?

Celeste Kilburn is a society darling, beloved by influential members of the ton. But keeping a spotless reputation leaves little room for adventure and she longs to escape her gilded cage, especially with her impending engagement to a stuffy earl. When Kieran—her older brother’s best friend and an irresistibly attractive rogue—begs for her help, Celeste makes a deal: she’ll introduce him to the right social circles if he’ll show her the scandalous side of London.

In between proper teas and garden parties, Kieran escorts Celeste—disguised as “Salome”—to rowdy gaming hells, wild fêtes, and sensual art salons. As they spend more time together, their initial attraction builds to a desperate desire that neither can ignore. But when someone discovers their midnight exploits, Celeste’s freedom and reputation are endangered, and Kieran must save the woman he loves… respectable or not.

Eva Leigh is a genius

This was such a fresh take on a historical romance. I adore all her female characters!

Not to bad

It took a few chapters to get used to the narrator and to get to know the characters and how the author writes but once I gave it a chance I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Give it a chance.

Not worth a credit

It could have been better. The first few chapters had so many F bombs. In real life I think that a person that swears so much is just lazy. And that’s what I thought of this author.
She honestly could not find another way to make the characters show the emotion so F bomb this and F bomb that? And for the narration, she wasn’t the worse I’ve listened too and I did struggle in confusion as to whom was talking at times. And “sexy time” with the mans character sounded like a 95 year old man with lung cancer.

brilliant

I always adore her books but this one blew me away! I can't wait for Finn's story and hopefully Willa comes back and puts Celeste's brother through hell to earn her forgiveness
I just Pre purchased the next.

Could have been more

This story could have been so much more but the narrator ruined it. I will skip book 2 and go straight to 3 for the ever talented Mary Jan Wells! Maybe MJW can re-record Book 1&2

An enjoyable story, but has a lot of anachronisms.

Both the main characters are really likeable and the story is fun and at times moving. Eva Leigh is a good writer but unfortunately I was distracted by many anachronisms. Narrator was exceptional, don't listen to the negative reviews about her. she's really fantastic.

Waste of a Credit

The performance was cringeworthy. I barely made it through. I kept thinking it had to get better, but I was wrong. Save your credit.

Not worth the credit

The story was boring. Characters not believable and most weren't likable. I won't listen to the authors books again.
