About this listen

There is only one path to true love, no matter how fate, fortune, or destiny play.

Lady Isabella Fortescue has tired of trying to bring a man up to scratch. At 31, she’s put herself on the shelf and is glad for it, except she wants to have one splendid folly to call her own before that happens. But the unorthodox arrival of a horribly rude man makes her think even a scandal isn’t possible.

Captain Peregrine St. John has sworn off women - indefinitely. With the ill-luck of his last relationship fresh in his mind, he retires from naval service sporting a bum leg and a shattered heart. Rustication proves beyond boring, and a visit to a gypsy fair has him face down in the mud on a stormy afternoon. The heated admonishment from a lady only further cements his attitude on the fairer sex.

As fate would have it, Isabella and Peregrine are neighbors in Buckinghamshire. As country social life throws them together, tempers rise with each new meeting, and sparks fly. Verbal banter gives way to wicked glances, and teasing kisses flare into passion on one glorious night. Fortune might predict happiness or foolish error, but love can only bloom if they listen to true desires hidden deep inside their hearts.

I love historical romances but they are usually very mild with a bit of romance and a lot of lingering looks but this story was wow! There was quite a bit a appropriate rauchiness for this era, I loved how Isabella was so forward thinking and strong willed, she knew what she wanted and she went for it. I liked the way Peregrine was so passionate but also considerate and patient with Isabella and the story ended in the perfect way! If you love historical romances with some extra heat then you will absolutely love this story! I've listened to many of Megan's narrations now and the more I listen to, the more I love her interpretation of the characters. The minute I listen to her voice I feel immediately transported to another time in history which makes it so much easier for me to switch between historical and contemporary romances.

Raunchy and daring historical romance
