Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Series, Book 1

By: Laura Lee Guhrke

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

One of Daphne Wade's guilty pleasures is to watch the Duke of Tremore as he works, shirtless, on the excavation site of his ducal estate. Anthony Courtland is by far the most exciting and handsome man she has ever known, and she dreams of one day being able to speak with him without getting tongue tied.

Anthony, meanwhile, only sees Daphne as a hard worker on his excavation team. He considers her a plain young lady and says so in a careless remark to a friend, unaware that Daphne is outside the library door, her heart shattering to pieces. So Daphne decides she will not be so silly any longer. She begins to be tutored in the social graces, forcing Anthony to see the beauty who has been right in front of his eyes.

Get ready to cry!

Two very strong characters. Daphne and Anthony are one of the most angst ridden couples I ever come across in romantic stories. They each deserve happy endings, but they have been so wounded growing up that they cannot seem to trust in a love that is right in front of them.

So so so good

Great storyline. Love the character development. Great pace. Excellent narration. Feel good romance. Something I would listen to again.

Unusual storyline

Strong, believable characters who were easy to like, flaws and all. Unusual storyline that kept me interested from start to finish. My first book by this author—certainly won’t be my last!

Beautiful Story

This is a beautiful story. The characters are strong, determined, loving. I always love the story that brings the alpha male to his knees, because he loves a woman so much. If you love a good romance, then this is the book for you!

A gem

This was a good romance- the FH is not a wilting violet and neither is she overly brash. I will read more in this series. I’m especially interested in the sister’s story.

Guilty Pleasurs.

l loved this book. It was one of those you would like to read over and over again.

Very Well Done!

Anne Fossil brought the author's' story to life in a cohesive and smart way.. I loved that the steamy parts were balanced intricate and sensual.. Banter and interplay was laced with humor as well as fire.. I will be reading more from Guhrke.

Delightful feel good romance

This is such a feel good story, no pain, angst or emotionally wounded characters here.....pure romantic escapism.
Highly recommend, definitely a keeper 🌟

Lovely story

The story, and the lead and supporting characters, were compelling and realistic.
My only problem was with the listening experience itself, with the performance by Anne Flosnik, The grating singsong quality of her voice — which was present even in her performance of the men’s voices — was very difficult to overlook as I pushed myself onward to listen. Flosnik will be placed in my ‘Meh’ category of narrators.
Unfortunate…but it won’t deter me from reading more Guhrke books. I’ll just be more discerning in choosing their narrators.

Narration was excellent

Enjoyed the romance and the plot involving an unconventional woman who falls in love with a man who is bound by convention.
