Story
Legend says the Sinclairs' heightened senses are a result of a long ago pact between them and the powerful Raven family. To honor and protect is their creed, but the current Duke of Raven doesn’t make their task easy. Arrogant and aloof, James, Duke of Raven, is determined to forge his own path, and to hell with folk tales that his ancestors created. But when the breathtaking Eden Sinclair saves his life by risking her own, their past resurfaces, and with it comes the uncomfortable realization that they are linked by more than history.

Lady Olivia Haliford has had enough. Tired of seeing women lose their reputations, futures, and sometimes even their lives to scandal while the men walk free, she is ready to take back power and stand up for women everywhere. Along with her two closest friends, she plans to start an anonymous publication dedicated to dishing the dirt and exposing the secrets of society's most eligible bachelors. But in order to do so, she will have to make a deal with the devil....
Summary
Laura Kinsale presents...
the charming and hilarious new author, Susanna Malcolm, with a classic Regency that only Nicholas Boulton could narrate so perfectly.
Lord Gideon Birch, wounded former naval Captain and freshly minted Viscount, has a colorful history as a renowned lover of women. But a decade at war has transformed this sensual rake, and what he wants now is only to live a life on his own terms.
And so, he comes to the quietest village in England, searching for serenity and instead, encounters an astonishingly enthralling pair of green eyes that unsettle his carefully constructed world.
Though she would love nothing more than to leave Littleover, Miss Theadosia Ridley is sorely hampered by a lack of funds. Desperately trying to earn enough to feed herself and her ailing family servant, she must reluctantly accept Lord Birch's opportune offer of employment: He needs her and her knowledge of Greek to catalog and translate the extensive library he's accumulated over the course of the war.
Dubious of his motives, she vows to keep her distance from the dashing newcomer. But time in his company unveils a compelling man far more complex than his shallow reputation would lead one to believe. Can she uphold her vow not to succumb to his charms?

A good historical romance
A thoroughly simply historical romance, man meets woman and they eventually fall in love, but what was not simply was the delightful prose, I read/listened to a lyrical style similar to Laura Kinsale (all of whom books I delight in) and off course the wonderful Nicholas Bolton velvety tones just enhanced the story further. I look forward to reading/listening to more of Sussanna Malcolm proses hopefully in the future.

Now I am a real regency romance fan and listen to this Genre a lot but have to say the heroine in this book was beyond annoying not a strong character at all and Completely insipid! The Hero wasn’t much different to be truthful. Sorry not for me do not waste money or credit! VERY DISAPPOINTED

Great narration, weak story: disappointing overall
Besotted with the Viscount is a fairly low-angst tale set in a small English village, which sees two people who don’t quite fit in discovering that they fit in with each other rather well. It’s a leisurely-paced, character-driven tale, that starts well, but drags in the middle and then resorts to a rather clichéd Big Misunderstanding in order to create some much-needed tension towards the end.
War hero Captain Lord Gideon Birch hated every moment of the naval career forced on him by his family, and wants nothing more than to live quietly somewhere as far from the sea as possible. To that end, he has purchased a property in the vicinity of a remote village in Derbyshire.
Thea Ridley is the daughter of a scholar and lived most of her life in Greece before returning to England following the deaths of her parents. She lives in a small cottage with her elderly companion and is barely making ends meet, so when the opportunity arises to work for Lord Birch, cataloguing and translating his extensive library of Greek texts, she jumps at the chance to earn enough money to be able to move our of England, where she's never felt she belonged.
It’s a nice way of getting the two together, but I couldn’t help asking myself how it was that neither of them thought it improper to be alone together so often. I suppose it could be that Gideon regarded Thea as a servant and therefore without a reputation to worry about, but that’s clearly not the case, given that they first meet at a social event. He’s immediately smitten by her beautiful face (and in fact, if anyone is besotted in this story, it’s him). But Gideon’s reputation as a rake and libertine is widely known, so Thea, who is still getting over being thrown over by the young man she’d expected to marry - is wary, of Gideon and of men in general.
This is a romance novel, so I don’t need to spell out where things are headed. Thea is equally taken with the handsome captain, but keeps reminding herself that Men Are Not To Be Trusted and remains in denial about the truth of her feelings for Gideon. Until, that is, her former love arrives back in the village accompanied by his new – pregnant - wife (whom he married for money), and promptly propositions Thea, intending to make her his mistress. She’s so furiously indignant, she goes back to Gideon’s house, figures if all men are going to think she’s a whore, she might as well be one, and jumps Gideon - much to his delight.
Things between them are fairly blissful (fortunately, Gideon has hardly any servants, so there’s nobody to witness them getting it on in all the rooms in the house) – although at no point does he, a gentleman, mention marriage – until the Big Mis kicks in near the end. Without spoilers, something happens to Thea which turns the whole village against her, and when details reach Gideon – who has had to go away for a week – he immediately believes the worst, and, on returning to Littleover, makes no attempt to see or speak to Thea to get her side of the story.
Needless to say, Gideon’s behaviour at that point is unforgiveable and I didn’t blame Thea for the decision she makes afterward. All is happily resolved, of course, but I have to say that while I generally liked Gideon, his lack of faith in Thea in the final stages of the novel left a nasty taste in my mouth.
It will come as no surprise when I say that the narration was by far the strongest part of this audiobook. Unfortunately, however, not even the velvet tones of Nicholas Boulton were enough to raise the book above the average, and actually, it’s the first time I’ve ever said that I wished he’d been given better material to work with, as so far, the authors he’s narrated for in the romance genre - Laura Kinsale, Alexis Hall, Elizabeth Kingston – are all top-notch. His performance is excellent, as usual; his interpretations of the various characters are fabulous, they’re all very clearly differentiated, and his ability to get to the emotional heart of any given scene is superb. But ultimately, the story is weak and the heroine is difficult to warm to, so in spite of Mr. Boulton’s best efforts – wonderful though they are – Besotted by the Viscount is rather a middling affair.

More than a bit shaky on the plot
32 year old naval captain retires after 10 years in HM Navy!!!!! Never a midshipman?????? Lord Nelson joined at age 12 and was a Post-captain at 20 but the man was a genius.
A huge collection of rare and classic books as his spoils of war???? Where would these have been kept on a French man of war? It's just too absurd.
Not even Nicholas Boulton could rescue this book..

Loved this story
The story is very simple, man sees woman and is smitten. He engages her to sort out his library, and he falls in love but as these stories go neither actually proclaims their feelings outright. Gossip and misunderstandings but all's well that ends well. I won't tell the story as it may spoil it for others,. I loved the epilogue .
I will certainly look out for any more stories by this author.
Oh! and I loved Nicholas Boultons' voice, very easy to listen to.

Lovely little story
My husband had the pleasure of listening to me burst out laughing at the last chapter with: “YOU CANNOT GO TO ITALY!”
It was a tumultuous joy to listen to, bubbling with passion and miscommunication as two people fumble around in love. I know some people thought the main characters insipid... but I can’t see why! Thea is eternally infuriating and complex... Gideon is simultaneously sweet and highly predatory which makes for a very fun hero.

Wonderful!!!!! Outstanding....a must to listen to!!
This is my first book by Susanna Malcom , i pray she has more audiobooks narrated by Boulton - it was amazing! From the first minute to the last but the last 20 minutes was the best listen and something you’d listen to over and over again! It was hysterically funny and so tender that you’ll well up with tears. Her dialogue is crisp, funny and heartbreakingly sweet and when read by Nicholas Boulton you won’t want to stop listening. One of the refreshing parts of the storyline was just the two lead characters - having been through so much in their life, admitting that they were lonely and falling in with each other was the natural course. Not an easy course, but a natural one. That stood out to me and it was a great part of the story. Boulton’s narration made it seem at times like I was just listening to a movie without seeing the picture. It was that powerfully done. I will definitely listen to this one again.

Marvelous Narrator
Nicholas Boulton has a resonant, rumbling voice and the ability to perform believable women, none with squeaky voices. An intelligent heroine although a bit contradictory. I would liked to have heard more of the hero’s back story.
All in all, an enjoyable listen.

Title Should Be - The Besotted Viscount -
Cranky, wounded, devilishly handsome Gideon comes into his family estate and falls cravat over hessians for his librarian employee, the bluestocking Thea. It's not her besotted with the viscount, rather him besotted with the spinster. I liked it. Good sex, too!

Totally enjoyable good story line with likable main characters I wanted them both to be happy! Narration could not be better! Nicholas Boulton is my favorite male narrator and as they say can listen to him read the phone book! So he makes any story come to life and so pleasant to listen too.
Definitely recommend!!

Narration by Bolton takes you to another time
A historical romantic audio that is enjoyable and takes you to a different time.
However, the Human dynamic and family dysfunction are still applicable to today.
I enjoy narration by one person with the talent to transition from one character to the next.
Nicholas Bolton’s voice lulls one into the story and materializes the characters and surroundings in one’s mind with ease.

Boring and Frustrating
I hated this book. The narrator was wonderful. The story is boring cliche crap. I was happy to see for once the hero knew he was in love and admitted it first early on in the story. Then I had to endure the moronic shrewish heroine. For someone who was supposed to be smart she was an idiot. I can't see why the hero didn't give up and tell her to go jump in a lake.

I enjoyed this English countryside romance though sometimes Thea was so uptight! It took her a long time to see what Gideon was offering. In her defense though, she has no one to protect her from village gossip and her reputation is important for her livelihood. There is a lot of back and forth and just when you think they can move forward something else gets in the way. Fortunately the ending and epilogue make the wait worthwhile. Audiobook narration by Nicholas Boulton is excellent, I've yet to hear a character and voice he can't master. 3.5 stars for the story ( I did really like Gideon), 4.5 stars for the narration.
