When Wicked Comes Calling . . .

When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees—on one condition. She’s seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won’t accept a marriage without it.

The Wallflower Makes a Dangerous Bargain . . .

Bastard son of a duke and king of London’s dark streets, Devil has spent a lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy.

For the Promise of Passion . . .

But there’s nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, who quickly decides she’d rather have Devil than another. Soon, Devil’s carefully laid plans are in chaos and he must choose between everything he's ever wanted . . . and the only thing he's ever desired.

Audiobooks are an ideal way to explore the historical romance genre, especially when you’re guided by a talented narrator. There is nothing like witty banter, (im)perfect manners, and veiled flirtation cleverly performed by skilled voices to entertain and enliven the experience. The different time periods add a richness to the settings and an extra layer of discovery and delight. Here are some of the best historical romance novels that truly sing in audio.

Compelling Storyline • Strong Characters • Magnificent Performance • Witty Banter • Interesting Premise • Complex Hero

Sarah MacLean is a master of her craft and this book definitely does justice to her talent. I hate giving away plots and telling all in reviews, so I will simply say that if you are on the fence about this book, don't be. It's worth it.

Very good book but narrator is far from doing the males voices well. it is a good story.

Good book irritating narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I like that the main characters are bastards that have to fight for their place in the world. The heroine is headstrong but not stupid as is what usually happens with willful women in literature. I usually don't pay full price for audio books but I may for this series.

Bash bastards

I loved the book, and it's the beginning of a new series! I look forward to reading the next books. The only thng that would make it better would be Rosalyn Landor or Divina Porter performing the narration.

Great book!
