Enchanting Pleasures

The Pleasures Trilogy, Book 3

By: Eloisa James

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

People magazine named Eloisa James' novel Midnight Pleasures "Page Turner of the Week" and raved, "Romance writing does not get much better than this." Now the acclaimed author returns with another sumptuous tale of passion and misadventure in Regency England.

Gabrielle Jerningham cherishes the portrait of her betrothed, the perfect Peter Dewland... until she meets his commanding older brother Quill. But it is Peter to whom she has been promised. And how can she possibly transform her voluptuous, outspoken self into the poised gentlewoman Peter requires?

When Gabby's shocking décolletage plunges to her waist at her first ball, Peter is humiliated. But Quill comes to the rescue, to the peril of his heart. An accident years before has left Quill plagued by headaches - the kind that grow more excruciating with strenuous exercise. Needless to say, this hardly bodes well for siring progeny. But the very sight of Gabby leaves Quill breathless. One forbidden kiss and Quill vows to have her, headaches and Peter be damned! But it will take a clever man - and a cleverer woman - to turn the tables on propriety and find their way to true love.

Enjoyable love story

What I liked about this story was entertaining and funny.
The author did an excellent job on explaining or extending the lil girl (forgot her name) story with her new mother.
The ending was cute - that's all I'm going to say about the end.
But it left you wondering about Peter - I think he is guy. I wondered what happened to guy man during the 1800's.
I love the narrator, you can never go wrong in listening to Susan Duerden - she does an excellent job on all voices.

Perfect Romance in my book

My favorite romance author Eloisa James writes stories with great characters, twisted tales made better by her research.
Like others, I grow a little tired of Susan Duerden’s sing-song narrative, but her voices and accents are superbly done. The song-song part happens in the story not the conversations. For that reason I gave her 5 stars, I would like to have given her 4.5, but that’s splitting hairs.
I would easily recommend this book.

Enchanting Pleasures

it had a good story line but I was not always able to keep my attention on it. I ended up listening to three or for chapters twice to ensure that I had the events etc. correctly in my thoughts. Overall the book is a good read.

Book 3 Excellent !

Perfect balance of life situations, insecurities, fear romance, It was a beautiful story. Great job !
