About this listen

 <

i>They call him many names, but angelic isn't one of them.

Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the "Bane and Blight of the Ballisters", and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He's determined to continue doing what he does best - sin and sin again - and all's going swimmingly…until the day a shop door opens and she walks in.

She's too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world.

Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she's going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him - and with him her family and future - means taking on the devil himself, she won't back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible that the person who needs saving most is Jessica herself.

Always liked this book simply because it's funny and you've got to hand it to Jessica. She's a canny lass! This audible version is fine - nothing special but no weird English accents thank God. I listened to it today sorting out my garden gate during Cocid; a gentle companion and raised the odd chuckle

Loved it as a book

A Great story with another interesting hero. Read in a rather quick and abrupt style

One of her best

I have listened to this book several times and it still entertains and amuses. The dynamic between author, narrator, H, h and minor characters is pure magic.

One of my favourite regencies.

Where does Lord of Scoundrels rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Up there with my other favourites.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dain and Jessica, of course, as there cannot be just one favourite.

Which character – as performed by Kate Reading – was your favourite?

Again, both Dain and Jessica!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many moments moved me; when Jessica understood how Dain covered his feelings and when Dain understood how his son had suffered.

Any additional comments?

This Audio version puts the icing on the cake for me as I have read this book many times in Paperback and Kindle. I will be listening again very soon.

Kate Reading is a master narrator, although originally, I preferred a male voice when the hero is so very masculine.

ABSOLUTE JOY!

This is the ideal romance audiobook I could imagine. Plus the Latin and Italian lines involved are very decently pronounced.

My favorite book plus my favorite narrator

This can be read as a stand alone.

I read a lot of romances and this will go down as one of my all time greats! It was filled with all the necessary ingredients, an excellent cast of characters, poignancy, redemption and a great deal of love.

Although Dain is a despicable ogre, you can't but help but understand why when you hear about his background and end up loving him for the bad hero that he is.

Jessica is one of the best drawn characters and heroines that I have read in a long time and Dain deserves no less. She is just wonderful how she manages to turn all the negatives in her life into positives.

The narration was superb and it is a joy listening to a book read correctly with the right accent, inflections and topped with beautiful Italian.

Highly recommended 5*****

Wonderful Love Story

The main man is actually adorable & more complex the the usual. Leading lady is a strong character too & the plot is good...loved the book but did find the reading a bit harsh on my ears. The 'stupid man' voice is used too often & for every man...yes, the reader took a bit of the pleasure from the story but better than some I've heard - the Italian for instance was great. Fantastic story though...one I'd like to have read properly.

Fantastic story, adorable/not quite the usual
