Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury's to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne'er-do-wells by night. Now there's a new item on the list.

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there's one problem: She's far more interested in publishing her women's journal than getting married - especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere - along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Her Aunt Allegra said, "A young lady with a fortune is subject to all sorts of untoward attentions by the worst sort of vagrants." It is a lesson Tabitha Timmons, a penniless spinster, has never needed to heed. That is, until she is left a vast fortune payable only upon her marriage to the very respectable Mr. Barkworth - a match that offers little chance of discovering exactly what her aunt means by "untoward attentions." But the same can't be said when the Duke of Preston happens along Tabitha's path....

At Last: A Worthy Narrator for this MJP Classic!

Publisher's Summary
Embark on the breathtaking romantic adventures of The Lady Travelers Society in the brand-new series by number-one New York Times best-selling author Victoria Alexander.
Really, it's too much to expect any normal man to behave like a staid accountant in order to inherit the fortune he deserves to support the lifestyle of an earl. So when Derek Saunders's favorite elderly aunt and her ill-conceived - and possibly fraudulent - Lady Travelers Society loses one of their members, what's a man to do but step up to the challenge? Now he's escorting the world's most maddening woman to the world's most romantic city to find her missing relative.
While India Prendergast only suspects his organization defrauds gullible travelers, she's certain a man with as scandalous a reputation as Derek Saunders cannot be trusted any farther than the distance around his very broad shoulders. As she struggles not to be distracted by his wicked smile and the allure of Paris, instead of finding a lost lady traveler, India just may lose her head, her luggage, and her heart.

Quirky Characters, Travels, and FUN!
Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 4.00
Character Rating: 3.75
Story Rating: 4.25
Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating)
Quick Thoughts: This book was an interesting twist on the typical Historical Romance and I can't wait to read other books in the series. I will say it took a bit for me to warm up to India, she was a hard leading lady to like. However, once she starts changing so did my feelings about her. However, I really loved Derek the whole way through. With quirky characters, interesting travels, and a bit of mystery this was just fun and a great listen!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by: Marian Hussey /Length: 12 hrs and 10 mins
I don't think I have listened to Marian before but she was a GREAT fit with this story. She really did well with India and her growth through out the series. Plus, her "older" lady voices matched those characters to a tee! I highly recommend this on audio!

Who doesn't enjoy traveling?
Any additional comments?
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen is an enjoyable tale where the heroine, India, takes awhile to grow on you. She is a "know it all" to the extreme, much like Hermione Granger is of Harry Potter fame. However, India's character really grows up throughout this story (despite being firmly "on the shelf") and she eventually learns to accept assistance when needed and warranted.
The hero, Derek, is a wonderful understated hero. He is well-meaning and firmly decides to put a stop to his aunt's and her friends' misdirected advice concerning the Lady Travelers Club, which got at least one member "lost" during her travels to Paris. These elderly ladies are all scene stealers and just great supporting characters.
I listened to the audio version of the story narrated by Marian Hussey, who was fantastic.
