Resumen del Editor

A wickedly wonderful new romance from the New York Times best-selling author of His Wicked Reputation.

Most women will give him anything he wants. She is not most women....

As a well-known barrister and the son of a duke, Ives confines his passionate impulses to discreet affairs with worldly mistresses. A twist of fate, however, has him looking for a new lover right when a fascinating woman shows up in his chambers, asking him to help save her father from the gallows. Unfortunately, he has already been asked to serve as the prosecutor in the case, but that only ensures close encounters with the rarity named Padua Belvoir. And every encounter increases his desire to tutor her in pleasure's wicked ways.

Having always been too tall, too willful, and too smart to appeal to men, Padua Belvoir is shocked when Ives shows interest in her. Knowing his penchant for helping the wrongly accused, she had initially thought he might be her father's best hope for salvation. Instead, he is her worst adversary - not least because every time he looks at her, she is tempted to give him anything he wants.

Good

Story was very entertaining and funny. Eva sounded like an annoying school girl with a creepy laugh. I enjoyed the book overall.

Great story and performance. Loved it !

This is exactly what I expected from this author. Can hardly wait to read the next in this series.

STOP SWITCHING NARRATORS

lord the narrator is PAINFUL. the high pitch tone she hits makes me ears hurt. I want to DNF and just fo by the book. you should have stuck with Mary jane wells likew in the first story. her voices for both male and female characters make me want to rip My ears off and punt them to the moon.

Loved it!

I'm really enjoying this trilogy. Mary Jane Wells really set the stage for the characters and brought them to life. Lulu Russell has picked up the Goblet and is taking it to the finish line. This is a very good story by Madeline Hunter, I would like to read more of her books.

Exceptional!

Between Madeleine's brilliant characters and complex plots and complex moral aspects, and Lulu's brilliant reading I get completely lost in these books!

Dreadful narrator

I had to struggle to get through this book - not because of the story, which was very good on the whole, but with this different narrator. Her voice isn't pleasant to begin with. But what is far worse is her terrible character differentiation and her actual character interpretations. Eva is the heroine but the vocalization makes her come across as a vacuous, insipid, silly, and rather stupid woman. Ms. Russell's men are terrible, not just the pitch, but the timbre of each voice. First, you can't tell them apart, which makes understanding the characters almost impossible. Second, they aren't the least appealing. She desperately needs to listen to other female narrators, who do the job brilliantly, e.g. Rosalyn Landor and Kate Reading.

However, I question the use of a female narrator in books that are centered around the men. Voices like Alex Wyndham, Nicholas Boulton, and others, who do women, especially strong, passionate women, superbly, might provide much better narration for books such as these.

Since this may be her first book, I will try the third in the series (I DO like the stories) in the hopes that it is inexperience and that she will get better.

Didn't care for the narrator

This would have been better, I think, if I had read it instead of listening to the audiobook. I didn't care for the narrator. Her voices were not quite right to me. For example, Eva is a strong character and showed it in the previous book but, in this one, she sounds like a giggling school girl. I didn't particularly care for Ives' voice either. I hate that this taints the book for me. It's not the author's direct fault. Her work is good and I appreciate it

The story was interesting. I like that both main characters are out of the norm. I enjoy the way the brothers interact.

I look forward to the Duke's story.

Entertaining story!

I enjoyed the story, it was nice and twisty, I was never board. Unfortunately, the narrator was not able to do male voices...at all. She was so awful, I may just read the last book. She just ruined Garreth’s voice, M. J. Wells gave him such a sexy voice in the first book. Lance sounded like a batty old maiden aunt, and I’m not sure where she was going mwith Ive’s voice. Come on! These are supposed to be three sexy guys...Who auditions these narrators anyway?

Such a memorable and enjoyable book and audio.

What a surprisingly different book. I absolutely loved it! The plot and characters were unique yet very engaging. Actually, I listened to the audio version first due to time constraints. I listened from beginning to end in one sitting while I was occupied with housework. Lulu Russell is a very gifted narrator, storyteller. She manages to make you feel like the characters have come alive! Kudos to both Madeline Hunter and Lulu Russell on this amazing project! There was humor, sex, an interesting plot and creative characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

enjoyable story

second story of a 3 story series. Audible was enjoyable to listen to and the story kept me interested.
