Wicked in His Arms

By: Stacy Reid

Narrated by: Madeleine Leslay

Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, has learned it is best to exercise rigid control over his passions and emotions in all that he does. Uncaring that it makes him seem cool and aloof to most in the ton, he is content with his desire to only woo agreeable and demur females. Then, unforeseen circumstances see him trapped in a closet at a house party with the last woman he would ever make his countess.

Lady Olivia Sherwood is everything he should not desire in a female - unconventional, too decisive, and utterly without decorum. But passion ignites between them, and they are discovered. Honor demands they wed, and while Tobias finds himself unwillingly drawn to the bewitching beauty, he must do everything not to tempt the passion that burns in him for her, lest it leads to disastrous consequences.

Go, Livvy!

This was a great book and I cant wait to hear book 3. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm glad I didnt credit the review that said the love story was weak - there's nothing weak about this book. The H was an ass, but he was also not to be underestimated. The h was kick ass- I mean the scene where she threatened to drag a certain lady by her coiffure and out of her house? I felt that in my soul. The HEA was so sweet.

It was a great book 2, book 3 better come with all the trappings because finally, we're getting Evie's story.

Endearing

Love the chemistry and storyline. Did not loose my interest like some do. Narration was also well done. For mature audience.

Love this series!

This series is so fun and so refreshing! Nothing like a good historical romance to make me swoon. I also love listening to it on audio. The narrator really brings the story to life. Olivia and Tobias were two passionate souls that found each other in the stiffness of the ton.

awesome

most intriguing series...a most extraordinary read. love it..so romantic, That I could not stop listening to

Jane Austen is BLUSHING!!

I have read quite a few of the Jane Austen Fan Fiction versions of her classic Pride & Prejudice and the similarities in the bones of this story are all there.

If you are familiar with that story then imagine Mr. Darcy’s reserve and hauter is due to his trying to control his emotions in order to avoid the abuse he saw his father inflict on his mother because of jealousy and temper. There is our hero, Tobias.

Imagine Lizzie with red hair and talent for painting and horse riding. Yeah, only real difference in our heroine, Olivia. (Nicknamed Livie) Despite being quite thoroughly compromised, she refuses to marry without love.

Now, add an ailing stepfather for Livie, the mother is still anxious, though with only one daughter not quite as silly.

Livie has a small dowry, though her father was a Baron who died in a scandalous manner, she is not on the same level as Tobias, an Earl.

Now, give our lead characters an overpowering passion for each other, despite not liking each other and arguing at each encounter (are you starting to see what I mean?), and allow them to forget propriety enough to be caught in a scandal themselves and you have the base of this story.

Fans of Mr. Darcy will hope that he has the passion and skill (oh my) of Tobias, which lead to some VERY hot and steamy sexual encounters.

We even have an elopement to Gretna Greene…..no more information or I’ll give away a spoiler.

This is no “classic” like P&P, but it is a great story with a skilled narrator.

It’s a nice addition to the series.

Rollicking read.

The reader does a good job of bringing the story to life. These Regency novels help the boring every day tasks go by and i can't get enough of them. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Best of the Series

I love these 2 people!
Their story is the most believable.
it's wonderful, sad, sexy, and ties almost all the other main characters from the other books into their tale.
Many people tie themselves in knots over their turbulent childhoods, and this Lord and Lady are not exceptions.
I adore his little sister, and all the adventures everyone of them get in and out of...

Outstanding

I have listened to maybe 100 historical romances. I love that I can clean house, garden, run errands and totally enjoy my day, all because I’m listening to one of my favorite books. This one, I think, is the best yet.

Great Author

This is my second book from this author and she is excellent. She writes with such passion. The story line was very interesting and I read it straight through. I did not really enjoy the narrator, but the story makes up for it.

WONDERFUL LOVE STORY

Loved It!! IT WAS Wonderful Firey Love Story Sexy, Firecrackery Live Story Truly Enjoyable THANK YOU
