De: Vivienne Lorret

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

USA Today best-selling author Vivienne Lorret continues the Mating Habits of Scoundrels series with a debutante who believes she is destined to marry the lord next door until a fateful encounter with a rogue makes her wonder...if she might be falling for the wrong marquess!

The wrong place....

Elodie Parrish can feel spinsterhood breathing down her neck. That’s the trouble with waiting for the marquess next door her entire life. But Ellie knows if she gives him one last Season, he’ll finally propose. The only problem is, her path keeps crossing with the arrogant Lord Hullworth, who is convinced she has designs on him.

The wrong time....

Brandon, Marquess of Hullworth, never wanted to be “London’s Most Elusive Bachelor”, or have a horde of hopeful debutantes and their scheming mamas follow him around. His past has left him too jaded to consider marrying any of them. At least, that’s what he thinks...until he meets Ellie. She’s quirky, opinionated, blushes easily, and drives him absolutely wild. The only problem is, she believes she’s in love with someone else.

Ellie never imagined that one sultry summer could change everything. But the more time she spends with Brandon researching her book on the mating habits of scoundrels, the more she starts to fall for....

Loved it!

This author is new to me and I can’t get enough of her! Can’t wait for the next book!

I am in love with Brandon.

Protective, kind and strong. Totally swoonworthy. Elodie has a lot of issues but he is so patient with her. Excellent love triangle story, and Justine Eyre is amazing as usual.

Great continuity on the series

Love the series, but in this book, I was disappointed on the change of heart of Ellie after the balloon incident, it made no sense to me. Also, nothing was done regarding George; Ellie’s stand was weak.

Enjoyable and well performed 3rd book

As usually, Justine Eyre does a fantastic job in narrating. Enjoyable read with a few twists and turns. Sets the reader up nicely for the fourth book. Overall well written and narrated.

Love!

This series is wonderful! So descriptive it like watching a saga in my head! Can't wait until the release of Pru's adventure!

So perfect

I hat an awesome funny read . I am so happy with this book !!!the characters are so fun and honest

Amazing characters

The character development is wonderful. The narration-divine and the enemies to lovers trope is so well executed. You’ll love this, if you love this tripe. Bravo!

Just Awesome!

The opening/prologue of this book was the best I've read/heard in a very long time. I was enamored of the heroine and was rooting for her from then on. The hero was equally interesting and loveable once we understood how he came to be who he came to be. The writing was witty and thoughtful. I haven't laughed out loud so much while reading/listening to a book in quite some time. Can't wait to read the rest of Lorret's work!

Pleasantly Surprised!

This is a new author for me. I'm a big fan of historical romance novels. Jude Deveraux, Lisa Kleypas, Johanna Lindsay (whom I just learned passed away in 2019. Such a shock! I will miss her books. Rest in peace, Johanna) 😢💞 Stephanie Laurens, Lynsay Sands, Julie Garwood, Sarah MacLean ... these authors are all on my list! Now I can add Vivienne Lorret to it! I'm going to get the next book in this series. Quick FYI - Reading them out of order doesn't affect the story lines.
I truly like a story that has historical accuracy. A good story!! Not a story with lackluster characters that have no depth or background and a horrible premise .. thinking because there are several sex scenes in the book, they get to call it "romance". No! And definitely not a story that is long-winded with too much detail, the story gets lost in the monotony and you get bored! This is not one of those books! And the narrator definitely counts!! You may have a great book but a crummy narrator. (isn't that the worst?!)
Anyyay, I hope this review helps!

Sweet and delightful

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the devotion the lead male character displayed. The story was sweet and relaxing to listen to.
I recommend it.
The narrator was excellent.
