The Wallflower Wager

Girl Meets Duke

By: Tessa Dare

Narrated by: Mary Jane Wells

They call him the Duke of Ruin.

To an undaunted wallflower, he's just the beast next door.

Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke clawed his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society—and now he wants to get even.

Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home and her heart.

When her imposing—and attractive—new neighbor demands she clear out the rescued animals, Penny sets him a challenge. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes.

Done, Gabriel says. How hard can it be to find homes for a few kittens?

And a two-legged dog.

And a foul-mouthed parrot.

And a goat, an otter, a hedgehog . . .

Easier said than done, for a cold-blooded bastard who wouldn’t know a loving home from a workhouse. Soon he’s covered in cat hair, knee-deep in adorable, and bewitched by a shyly pretty spinster who defies his every attempt to resist. Now she’s set her mind and heart on saving him.

Not if he ruins her first.

Tessa Dare fun

Funny, great dialogue, stellar narration, could have done with shorter sex scenes in my opinion, otherwise, very enjoyable.

Wonderful performance

I loved this book! The narrator did a wonderful job with not only all the characters but a talking parrot too! Such a fun read! If you love historical romances, this one will certainly tick all the boxes!

so so narration.

The story was decent but the narrator's men's voice overs was lacking. Couldn't stand another minute of this narrator.

Oh my WORD!!!!

Where has Tessa Dare been all my life?!!! This was... I can’t... Just buy this book.

I am utterly charmed. I think I need to go buy this book in paper form just so I can cuddle it to my chest and spin around in circles with it while I squeal in delight. I’m serious. I loved this so much I wish I could hug it.

I would also like to hug Mary Jane Wells because she deserves it for this performance. Also a high five. And a bonus paycheck. And maybe a flock of sheep, as soon as they are out of quarantine. But maybe not a sham sandwich.

LOVED THE HERO! Bad men are so fun.

Witty and light hearted fun. Good villian; you really hate him, but did not make the story dark. Brava!
