Publisher's summary

Every earl knows the one lady he shouldn't seduce is his best friend's little sister....

Lucy Waltham is hunting for a husband, but she needs some target practice. She turns to her brother's cold-as-ice best friend, Jeremy Trescott, the earl of Kendall, to test her seductive wiles on him before setting her sights on another man. But her practice kisses spark a smoldering passion - one that could send all her plans up in smoke.

Jeremy has an influential title, a vast fortune, and a painful past full of secrets. He's always kept a safe distance from his own emotions - and from Lucy, who wears her heart on her sleeve. But to save his best friend's little sister from certain heartbreak, he can't stay at arm's length anymore. Their sensual battle of wills is as forbidden as it is delicious. The closer Jeremy gets to taming his temptress...the nearer he comes to losing all control.

Contains mature themes.

But the narrator! 😬

First review here. That’s how compelled I was. I never got completely into the story. Maybe it was the narrator. Maybe it was the story. But from the moment I heard the narrator say “thuitor “ instead of suitor I could not unhear the lisp. Maybe skip this one.

the interlocking stories throughout the series

I happen to know that there are 3 more books dealing with the 4 horemen of the apocalypse.

Not Dare's Best

I was so surprised because i usually love Tessa Dare, but I thought that the story was pretty boring and drawn out. The narrator made it bearable.

I enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this book and found myself laughing a few times. The beginning was delightful and I generally like the development of the characters. the main characters were well matched and I'm happy that they got together. Past the middle of the book it it dragged a little but the ending was good. I enjoyed it overall.

The narrator was good in my opinion. I listened to to book it at a faster speed and it made it perfect for me.

Meh

I have really liked some of Tessa Dare’s other work, but the characters and plot on this were paper thin. The dialogue needed help too. The narrator is pretty good, but she lisps half the time so it makes the male characters more funny than sexy. I hate to quit books mid-read, but I was tempted to do that on this. It started strong, but I’m glad it’s over.

The story

The story was well written and the author understands lasting effects of bad childhood s.

Cute

This is a cute story. I especially liked that I didn’t have to spend the whole book waiting for the two main characters to get together. Very creative.

The worst Tessa dare novel that I've ever read...

...and I've read most of them. Insipid and unlikable female lead, amateur writing, awful storyline, and it drags on for ages. Truly her worst novel. I love her work normally, so this was an abject disappointment.

“Lovely”

This book is really good.. the characters are very likable.. I can’t wait to listen to the next one in this series and the narrator is wonderful bringing the characters to life

Waaaay too many misunderstandings

The story was okay. but the characters were so frustrating. it seemed that no one did the right thing at the right time. I know a plot needs some ups and downs to keep it moving, but this was just too much!
