The Perfect Rake

Merridew Series, Book 1

De: Anne Gracie

Narrado por: Heather Wilds

A phony engagement turns into real passion in this delightful Regency romance from award-winning author Anne Gracie.

Fate has lavished beauty on the Merridew sisters - that is, all save the eldest. But plain Prudence bears no grudge; she loves her four beautiful sisters infinitely. So when their abusive grandfather is laid up with an injury, she seizes the opportunity to concoct an ingenious plan that will allow all five of them to escape the clutches of their legal guardian. All it will take is a little matrimonial deception....

A renowned rake, Gideon, Lord Carradice, has a way of making ladies swoon. But when Prudence arrives at his doorstep and mistakes him for his cousin, the Duke, it is Gideon who's infatuated. The delightful spitfire claims she and the Duke are engaged - although a taller tale was never told. In spite of the lies, Gideon is so taken with charming Prudence that he's eager to join her game, especially if it will award him a stolen kiss or two. Now, Prudence's plot is about to go terribly, albeit deliciously, awry....

Contains mature themes.

stayed till the end

she was a little bit unbelievable in her blinders approach to morality. humans have shorter fuses and more stupid hurt reactions. but also I laughed. about fictional aunt when busted: "you don't have" an aunt so in so. "I know , she's dead."

Loved the story

I love the story but it would’ve been so much better if it had been a different narrator!!! The story had me laughing out loud and very engaged but I can only take this particular narrator for so long.

Great listen

Didn’t want to pause. Never and dull moment. Kept me on my toes. Great read

Loved it.

The Rake turned hero with evil relative that gets what is deserved. I loved it.
