Life for Victoria Lacey should be perfect. And it is - perfectly boring. Agree to marry a lord who has yet to inspire a single, solitary tingle? Why, of course. Smile as though this is not the thousandth time he's mentioned hounds and hunting? It's all in a day's work for the oh-so-proper sister of the Duke of Blackmore. Surely no one would suspect her secret longing for heart-racing, head-spinning passion. Except, perhaps, a dark stranger...on a terrace...at a ball where she should definitely not be kissing a man she has only just met.

A Libertine... Jeremy Greymont certainly qualifies. "Sex rough and women loose" is his credo - one he's always taken very seriously, with no deference whatsoever to the society into which he's been born. He's been perfectly content milling along through life on an existence of courtesans and fine Scotch whisky...that is until his grandfather lets him know he's out of time, and his station in life comes with duties attached. Jeremy must produce an heir - posthaste.

Story
In a time when women have few options for their futures, bluestocking wallflower Llysa Hamilton has aged out of the marriage mart. With offers for her hand unlikely, she enlists Madame Eve's 1Night Stand service to find the perfect man for one passionate night. Wolfe Thane, Duke of Foxhaven, has never lacked for anything, but he's bored with his entitled life. Winning a 1Night Stand voucher in a poker game appears to offer a perfect, commitment-free opportunity to add spice to his sex life.
Summary
After being turned down by the woman he loves at the end of the season, the wife hunt continues for Sheridan Cranfield. When Cecily Montgomery catches his eye, he knows that his feelings for her are far deeper than they could have ever been for the woman who broke his heart. Winning her heart will not present a problem...conquering her body, however, will prove another challenge altogether. A true gentlemen, Sheridan was taught that a man must treat his wife with the utmost respect in the bedchamber, and only slake his most salacious desires with his mistress. While he dreams day and night of the wicked things he wants to do to her, his reticence holds him back...resulting in a dissatisfied bedmate.
Cecily adores her husband, but wishes she knew how to draw him out of his shell. Beneath his polite and refined demeanor, she sees the true Sheridan - a man with the potential to utterly master her body and fulfill her every fantasy. Enter Madame Petra, a skilled courtesan known by the ton for tutoring couples in how to please one another. With her help, can Cecily coax her husband into unleashing the seductive sexual being simmering just beneath the surface? Or will their monotonous bedroom life doom them to an amiable, but lackluster future?

Highly recommended Steamy Regency Read
The Hero, Sherry, finds love after rejection in book 1 (Masquerade). This is a story about a man who has preconceived ideas about his wife, treating her as the perfect lady. However, she feels that everything is not right in their marriage and sets out to rectify the problem. He is rather repressed and she is more highly sexed than he realises. The book is rather steamy, but a highly enjoyable read - and the audiobook is very enjoyable too. Victoria Vale weaves a very good tale. Both the book and the audiobook are highly recommended

Mistress Vale never let's us down!
Cecily and Remington have an interesting marriage. She is tired of her husband treating her like a porcelain doll, and is a passionate beautiful woman. Remington was abused by his father for not performing and treating his sexual encounters with whores arranged by his cruel and abusive father.
His wife doesn't know why he isn't passionate with her in the bedroom . She daringly seeks help from a renowned courtesan and they share sizzling and very helpful sexual lessons!
I didn't like the Narrator's voice at all.
The story was interesting and kept me hooked!

Enjoyable listen.
A man whose father has altered his definition of marriage. I enjoyed the book until the very end. I’m not one who could watch my husband put his dick into another woman and be okay with it. Not even a little. Other than that, it was good. I didn’t feel there was a whole lot of a plot or storyline, felt more like I listening to porn - as my hubby would say. Even though I didn’t like the ending, I really did enjoy the listen and would recommend this book. If you’re like me, just skip the ending.

Not as good as it could’ve been
It was nice to have an extra person in the sex scenes but thought there could’ve been more the author could’ve done to make the scenes more steamy. They could’ve picked a better narrator.

A most scandalous and satisfying experience, which made my toes curl in pleasure, and made me desire more of the wicked pleasure of Mistress Vale’s books and audiobooks.

An excellent second story in the series
What made the experience of listening to A Marriage Most Scandalous the most enjoyable?
The fact that I could just sit back and relax and just listen. Also I didn't need to wear my glasses to enjoy a book!
What other book might you compare A Marriage Most Scandalous to and why?
The bound and determined books by Lavinia Kent are comparable in that the women in the stories consulted a brothel madam for help with their marriages. These books are also very hot!
Which character – as performed by Beatrice Pendergast – was your favorite?
My favourite character was Cranfield, he was such a thoughtful and loving character, Inspite of his background .
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
An exciting way to solve a marriage dilemma......
Any additional comments?
It was lovely to read Cranfield's story, it would have been interesting to have had a little more information as to how he and Cicely met. I know we had a retrospective synopsis but I would have liked greater detail. However this didn't spoil the remainder of the story. This is a great series and I look forward to reading more. I received a free copy for an honest review .
