Publisher's summary

Ambrosia Tisdale is the very picture of propriety and the epitome of what a respectable young lady should be. Haunted by a memory and compelled by her family, she pursues perfection to a fault.

The Earl of Bristol, Duncan Maddox, has returned to London after years of familial-imposed exile. As the second son, he has led a life filled with frivolity, leisure, and a healthy dose of debauchery. Now, his older brother has died, leaving the family's flailing legacy in Duncan's unwilling arms.

At the behest of his uncle, Duncan is advised to do the one thing that could provide instant fortune and respectability - he must marry. But there is only one prospect who meets the unique requirements to solve all the earl's problems - the lovely Miss Ambrosia Tisdale. But securing the prudent daughter of a viscount's hand proves to be more challenging than this scandal-ridden second son of an earl has bargained for.

With scandal, extortion, treachery, and even love itself threatening to keep him from his goal, will Duncan succeed or find himself compromised by Miss Tisdale?

Contains mature themes.

the best

best book I've read in awhile and I read pretty much non stop! always start a new one as soon as I finish one. good story. good narration. 👍

Good girl meets bad boy

A simple love story....nothing crazy happens just a short sweet love story. Good girl helps bad boy be better.

Love can be so complicated

As a writer it must be very difficult to come up with different plots, characters and other details when actually writing a book. I marvel at how many stories are out there that don’t overlap some other story which has been written. Again, this book is different with very likable characters, interesting plot twists, and a surprising denouement. All the characters seem real with understandable foibles which don’t go away just because they’ve grown older but must be worked on as they learn about themselves and their own motivations brought on by their pasts. This book is very good and entertaining.

Liked heroine despite her rigidity

Pros: Heroine free of silliness
Great family, especially h’s sisters
Kept my interest.

Cons: Hero has sex with other women after the first time he kisses heroine
Romance & attraction between H & h is not compelling

Pretty good story and great narration.

I enjoyed most of this story. There was a bit of repetitiveness going on which became a bit annoying, but it wasn't as bad as some books.

I liked Ambrosia for the most part. She was very proper for sure. I really really liked Duncan Maddox the Duke of Bristol. He was a great lead male character.

The story line and plot was good even with the repetitiveness. There was a bit of a twist that I didn't see coming which made it better.

As for the narration. I really enjoy Beverly Crick. She does great narrations these days. The men sound like men. She reads with emotion and has a nice reading voice.

amazing

the best one ever and Witty outrageous courageous.
Outlandish wonderfully lovable Brilliant Is work of odd

Blossomed!

I don’t really know why but it took a few tries to get into this narration... but then the story blossomed! Most excellent narration... not much steam. Creditworthy it is!
Now on to book two!

Decent enough

This is my first Jessica Jefferson novel. There are no standout aspects, but she manages to tell a well-paced story with fairly interesting characters. I could have walked away without a niggling of doubt. I was in no way invested, but it did pass the time as an Audible Escape.
