Anything but a Gentleman

Rescued from Ruin Series, Book 8

By: Elisa Braden

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

A spinster hatches a plan (with a smattering of blackmail)

Miss Augusta Widmore has no time for proprieties. She must force her sister's ne'er-do-well betrothed to the altar with all haste - or watch her sister bear the scandalous consequences. But with the blackguard resisting his duty, she needs leverage. And only one man can provide it.

A giant holds all the cards (or so he thinks)

Sebastian Reaver has no time for presumptuous women. He has a club to run. So, when a perfect nuisance invades his office, demands a fortune in markers, and refuses to leave until he relinquishes them to her, he knows just the thing to send her scurrying back to Hampshire: Exact a price this prim country spinster would never agree to pay. A fiery battle begins (with both sides playing for keeps)

Ordinarily, Augusta would never agree to become the mistress of a notorious club owner - whether he's a lowborn ruffian or the wealthiest man in London or the most intriguing, ill-tempered giant she's ever encountered...or all three. Calling his bluff raises the stakes (and the heat), but retreat will mean ruin for Augusta. Now, Sebastian wants her total surrender, and he has a few tricks up his sleeve - soul-stealing kisses, unexpected honor, and electrifying persuasion for the woman he never saw coming.

Contains mature themes.

Excellent.

What a lovely story, I couldn’t stop listening.. even woke in the wee hours of the morning to resume listening. Hands down my favorite author.

Review of your work.

My new favorite author. Loved the story. Can’t read anymore because of my eyes so I listen and really enjoyed your work.

💖💖 This Spicy and Sweet Historical!

Loved it! Get a 2 in romance. Big sis is the main, but little sis gets her HEA too. For all those out there that love to root for the underdogs with 💟, this one is for you Love, romance, spice, laughs, family, and all the feels. These characters all stole a lil but of my heart.

The plot had an unexpected twist and the characters were interesting.

My only complaint is in regard to the formulaic nature of the story. Each one of the books in the series had too much similarity to the others, even the intimate scenes. If an author decides to write books in a series, it would be nice to have some variety in how the girl meets boy then gets married happens about. I like the narration and the characters are well developed.

Quite the Community

This series continues to enjoyable and amusing. I truly like the community of characters and how they are related whether it be familial or through friendships. This builds a deeper insight into the characters, especially when such a character plays a secondary role after s/he played a bc main role in an alternate story. On to #8 in the Rescue from Ruin series.
