Summary

Lady Sophie - Society Splash!

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it.

Rogue - Reign of Ravishment!

Kingscote, "King", the marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he's more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring.

War? Or More?

He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on Earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive....

should come with a sex warning!

I am sick and tired of downloading a regency romance to have it end up as practically porn! the story was good ( very similar to a gorgette hayer) but was just ruined by unnecessary humping. don't get me wrong I'm not a prude. but I just want a nice story!

Rollercoaster …..

Good example of a story in the genre: twists and turns, hero who swears he’ll never love, strong heroine, banter, good steam—- however, the last 2 ups and downs were just annoying. I don’t know how many more times the situation can become that insulting in order for a couple to still find a HEA. This story is like enemies to enemies to enemies to enemies to enemies to enemies…. I lost count….. to lovers. I couldn’t quite believe, after all of that loathing and the hero’s continued maintenance of his trauma, that he’d finally turned. Should have happened earlier because by the last twist it was ridiculous. Narration has some strange accents but generally lively and well acted.

beautiful yet witty story

loved this story and beautifully written, though the Irish accent for the Scottish lord is bothering me somewhat .if you can get past that then would definitely recommend

Great book

I love Sarah MacLeah she’s a great historical romance writer. I’ve already read this book and many of her others so I enjoyed listening to it this time. This is a fab series and Sophie and King’s story is fab. My one small criticism is that the Scottish Duke sounded Irish most of the time! Otherwise the narrator was great.

Did not finish

I could not get beyond chapter 3 of this book because the narrator's voice grated on my nerves so much. I wish the people who chose the narrator would realise that most listeners would prefer a deeper basic tone for the stories. That is another wasted credit. I have no idea if t he story was any good because I could not persevere.
