The Scoundrel and the Lady

Lords of Vice, Book 1

By: Robyn DeHart

Narrated by: Rachael Beresford

Iris Bennington is furious when she discovers her younger brother is following the instructions found in the acclaimed advice columns on How to Be a Gentleman. The so-called "advice" is more likely to turn her brother into a scoundrel than a true gentleman. Iris decides to locate the author of the columns and confront him.

Merritt Steel, the Earl of Ashby, cannot help but be amused by the slip of a woman who comes calling. Unwilling to let such a delightful potential conquest go, he proposes a wager: bring him anyone off the street and he can pass them off as a gentleman. It's a bargain she readily accepts—but with a twist.

Their bargain proves to be a greater challenge than either anticipated. Merritt finds it near impossible to keep his hands off Iris, and she begins to see the undeniable appeal of ungentlemanly behavior . . .

Contains mature themes.

DARLING STORY

This book is a fun love story of a reluctant new Earl who started out as a self made wealthy newspaper publisher & a self made aristocratic spinster. The storyline is delightful & the narrator is excellent!

Great Author - very creative storyline

This book did not hold my interest as most of her books but I kept listening because I’ve enjoyed the author’s work

Overall a great romance

I’m not into the storyline of a “debutant” dressing as a male. In those days where they have long hair , gentle skin etc… Eliminating this section it was a good read.

Not Good

I was enjoying this book until the heroine made a dumb wager with the hero. I was not here for the stupid wager. I do love a brave, intelligent, smart, bold, wealthy heroine who knows how to take care of herself.
