Earls Just Want to Have Fun

Covent Garden Cubs Series # 1

De: Shana Galen

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

Marlowe is a pickpocket, a housebreaker - and a better actress than any professional on the stage. She runs with the Covent Garden Cubs, a gang of thieves living in the slums of London's Seven Dials. It's a fierce life, and Marlowe has a hard outer shell. But when she's alone, she allows herself to think of a time before - a dimly remembered life when she was called Elizabeth.

Maxwell, Lord Dane, is intrigued when his brother, a hired investigator, ropes him into his investigation of the fiercely beautiful hellion. He teaches her to navigate the social morass of the ton, but Marlowe will not escape so easily. Instead Dane is drawn into her dangerous world, where the student becomes the teacher and love is the greatest risk of all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Good chemistry, solid writing, and an interesting plot are all present." ( Publishers Weekly)

It was a good read

I had read many wonderful reviews of this book by people whose reviews I generally agree with. I enjoyed the book but was definitely not wowed by it. I felt that the narrator was over acting at times.

wonderful read

Shana Galen works her magic once again ! Fun and entertaining to listen to. Miss Marlowe is a jewel!

Different storyline.

I’m not sure the title of this book is appropriate. Never did the Earl have fun! Initially he was totally frustrated by Marlowe, the female lead. Finally after deciding that she wasn’t all that bad, she entangles him in a life or death situation. Definitely not fun! I’m undecided about the development of both characters. I’m not sure, even now, if I totally liked Dane. He seemed a bit heavy handed in the beginning and, although he went through some major changes in overall outlook about society, still remained heavy handed after their marriage. I guess there are only so many changes a man can make in a short period of time. I really liked Marlowe. She had been on her own her whole life and still somehow maintained herself even when having to live with evil most of the time. She was a good girl and stayed stable when faced with awful home situations and living conditions. She was a thief, however, only to the extent to stay alive. How many of us if faced with the same choices wouldn’t do the same thing. And through it all she kept her sense of humor and remained grounded as you can tell by some of the things she said to the Earl. The story was fun and the narrator did a superb job. Just change the title.

Excellent

The most fun, romantic, well narrated and exciting story I have heard in forever!

Cute Story

It was a cute fun story although I found it a little predictable. But overall done well.

Fantastic heroine

No fair making me cry happy tears.

This story has a strong believable heroine, and a man who has a lot of changing to do to deserve her. There’s adventure and great dialog throughout. Plus, happy tears. And seriously, I almost never cry at books. This one got me right in the feels.

LOVED IT!

Very entertaining story. I could not stop listening! Great narrator, too. On to the next one in this series.

I TOTALLY LOVED THIS BOOK

I thought it was well written without too many characters to try to keep in line. The storyline was different than the usual and kept me listening as often as I could. There was just enough steam to keep it interesting and the narration was well done. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little of everything. Can't wait to start the next one in the series.

I loved this story!

I really loved this story. I didn’t think that I would, but I after the first 2 chapters I was all in.

A fun listen.

The only two things I didn’t like about this story was one, the narrator made her sound like a special needs child.. the author also made her seem way too childish at times…. That said, it was still a great story and I’m looking forward to more work from this author.
