Story
A Libertine... Jeremy Greymont certainly qualifies. "Sex rough and women loose" is his credo - one he's always taken very seriously, with no deference whatsoever to the society into which he's been born. He's been perfectly content milling along through life on an existence of courtesans and fine Scotch whisky...that is until his grandfather lets him know he's out of time, and his station in life comes with duties attached. Jeremy must produce an heir - posthaste.

Story
Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.

Story
I’m king of the criminal underworld. I always get what I want. And she’s my obsession. Cora is new to the city of sin. Her innocent blue eyes beg for me to claim her. But I’m not the billionaire she thinks I am. There’s a darkness within me. And Cora is a shining light. She’s beautiful. A virgin. I’m ruthless. A beast. She found me for a reason. She’ll be my queen. I’ll give her everything that her heart desires. Except for one thing. Her freedom. She’s mine to keep, and I’m never letting her go.

Story
It should be the most shocking news I’d ever gotten - my boyfriend is getting married. Okay, technically he’s my ex-boyfriend. Two months ago he decided he wanted a break. I still thought he was my happily-ever-after. On any other day, knowing he was gone for good would be the worst thing that could possibly happen. But not today. Because not only is my boyfriend getting married - his bride is my best friend. And they’ve sent me an invitation. There’s no way I’m going to attend. I don’t care if it’s in beautiful Scotland. Nothing and no one could convince me.

Ivan Everley, 13th baron of Rothvale, would admit he's the last person on Earth who should have custody over a priceless collection of art. British law affords him the title of lord, but underneath all the trappings he's just a regular guy, despite being a world champion in archery, and certain...proclivities of a private nature. But Ivan's public celebrity is merely a sham - a carefully guarded secret borne out of the pain of betrayal.

I believe in love. It just doesn’t believe in me. I date. I’m all for giving guys a chance. I’ve just never met the one. Until on a spring morning in the English countryside, a tall, dark stranger emerges from the mist. Logan Steele is all tousled hair, hard chest, and lips so perfect I want to reach out and touch them, just to check they’re real. Did I mention he’s an Earl with a self-made fortune? But when I find out Logan Steele is out to destroy everything I’ve dedicated my life to protect, the chemistry disappears and the hope that had blossomed my chest turns to rage.

Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

I had it all. Dream job, fancy apartment, great family. But there was one thing I didn’t have. Would never have. Then he showed up. Rich. Arrogant. Condescending. He came to me with an ultimatum, and I had no choice but to agree. I needed to convince the world that I was Nathaniel Harrington’s girlfriend, so his legacy would stay intact. Spending time with him would be difficult. And fooling the world would be even harder.

Publisher's Summary
‘Ti amo, mia cara’
The fine art of persuasion. Darius Rourke and his burning passion for a woman. The gentle Marianne…as beautiful as she is mysterious.
When presented with an opportunity to make her his bride, Darius takes it, and knows Marianne will finally belong only to him.
Or will she?
Marianne carries a secret. Something she believes will prevent her from ever being worthy to be loved by any man - even the masterful Darius, despite the fact he captivates her utterly.
A look… A caress… A kiss… A brooding sensuality. A lushly passionate tale of lovers entangled in the discovery of each other’s sins and secrets. As Darius and Marianne embark upon the journey together, they will find that learning to command is just as important as learning to surrender.
A man who knows what he wants...
A woman who needs him in order to know her worth…

Hot Dark Erotic Love Story!
I've read books four times the length of this one, but they didn't have 1/4 the passion of this one. I will...I must read it again. This is not a typical taboo Victorian story written by Anonymous. This is a Victorian LOVE STORY! A very very HOT love story.

Romance In Every Sense Of The Word!
Marianne is a sweet girl who holds guilt and a feeling of not deserving the good life.
Daris is a single man about a decade older than Marianne...but upon seeing her as a child and teenager developed an attachment...so left for a few years until she grew up and found he was still attracted to her.
Marianne’s mother has died and her father drank and lost money setting Daris up to convince Marianna to marry him.
Either feels like they really deserve each other..but always find a way to care and love each other.
The source of their self worth comes out and they deal lovingly with each other.
Love a romance that doesn’t have painful angst all the way through.
I truly love Raine Miller books.
Shane East is wonderful as always and aindia Baldwin has the sweetest lovely accent...Fantastic job by both.
Well worth the credit or money.

A beautiful addition to the "Blackstone" books. It's amazing how things over the centuries tie everything and everyone together. The narrators were perfect and played the roles wonderfully. This is a must read if you listen to any of the other books by Raine... she is truly talented!!!

Meh
The story was boring and a little drab. I wouldn’t call it a Gothic romance at all. Aside from the year it takes place nothing else fits really. Maryann had little to no personality, and was just purely dumb. Her submissiveness was the most genuine and likable part of her. Darius is the perfect man. The sexy scenes were good though and the readers were great. Although listening to a man read as a woman at times during the steamy scenes gave me a good giggle.

Duet narration would have made a huge difference!
Many reviews had negative comments about the narration. Shane East was wonderful but, India Baldwin did not perform the Hero’s voice masculine enough. If they would have done duet narration, where the female narrator does all the women’s voices and the male narrator did all the men’s voices, it would have made a very positive difference.
The story itself was well written and was likely the most complete 4 hour novel I’ve ever listened to. That being said, had this not been included in the Romance package, I never would have spent a precious credit on such a short novel. The novel was good but, it could have been great if it would have been twice as long.

Interesting how it fits in with the last book in the Blackstone story.
Great to hear Shane East again. He has an awesome reading voice.
