A Rogue's Kiss, Book 4

By: Amanda Mariel

Narrated by: Andrea Zuvich

Lady Celia Kendal has a knack for mischief, but some adventures should remain in the past. She thought that was the case where a certain marquess was concerned, until he arrived at her brother’s house party, threatening to unearth her secret misadventure, upending her heart.

The Marquess of Crawford, Jasper, was captivated by Lady Celia from the moment he set eyes on her, but she demanded more than he wished to give. So he let her go, never expecting to follow her. But when thoughts of her continued to fill his days and nights, he set out to find her.

Can Celia and Jasper overcome the disaster that was their first meeting in order to embrace true love?

Her Perfect Scoundrel was previously published as Rogue of Her Heart in the limited edition How the Rogue Stole Christmas set.

Enjoyable, short regency romance

I enjoyed this story overall, but the way the author set up events felt awkward. Lady Celia and Lord Jasper have a not meet-cute when he refuses to help push her carriage out of the mud (and is a bit mocking in the process), but takes her back to his home, saying he will send a team for her conveyance. That's all the listener knows until the two meet again months later at a house party, and Celia fears Jasper will reveal 'what happened' to her brother and the ton. What happened? We don't know right away, but the story of what happened AFTER the duo arrived at Jasper's house is slowly revealed. There is instant attraction, forbidden passion, and two people separated by their goals (she wants to marry, he doesn't). Why is Jasper at the house party? Has time changed their feelings for each other? Has Jasper changed his mind about marrying, and can he convince Celia? I think the story would have been more coherent if the author had revealed what happened between Celia and Jasper in the beginning. As it is, I kept think I had missed something, until it was all finally revealed.

I narration was excellent, and I really enjoyed Andrea Zuvich's voice.

delighful romance

Her Perfect Scoundrel by Amanda Mariel is a delightful Regency romance that will sweep listeners into a world of mischief, passion, and second chances. The fourth book in A Rogue's Kiss series, this charming story centers around Lady Celia Kendal, a spirited woman with a knack for getting into trouble, and the Marquess of Crawford, Jasper, who can’t seem to forget her.

The audiobook brings the tension and chemistry between Celia and Jasper to life, with the narrator capturing the nuances of their complicated relationship. Celia, strong-willed and adventurous, thought her past misadventures were behind her—until Jasper arrives at her brother’s house party, stirring up old feelings and threatening to reveal their shared secret. The narrator’s portrayal of Celia’s inner conflict, torn between her past and her feelings for Jasper, adds depth to her character and keeps listeners engaged.

Jasper, a marquess who once let Celia slip away because she demanded more than he was ready to give, is now determined to win her heart. His pursuit of her is full of romantic tension and charm, and the narrator does a fantastic job of conveying his growing affection and regret over their past.

The pacing of the audiobook flows well, balancing moments of humor, flirtation, and heartfelt emotion. The classic Regency elements of house parties, witty banter, and social propriety mix perfectly with the undercurrent of unresolved feelings between the two leads. The emotional journey as Celia and Jasper attempt to reconcile their disastrous first meeting and explore the possibility of true love is both heartwarming and satisfying.

Jasper & Celia

The fourth book in the A Rogue's Kiss, Lady Celia Kendal and Jasper the Marquess of Crawford's short story is engaging with a very good storyline that held my interest. I enjoyed listening to Andrea Zuvich narrate their story.

The Lady and the Scoundrel . . .

Headstrong Lady Celia Kendal, sister of Charles the Duke of Selkirk, first meets The Marquess of Crawford, Jasper, when he came to her aid on a rainy night. He was attracted to her but has no interest in marriage and does not pursue her further after a few kisses. However, he could not stop thinking about her. He arranges to meet her again months later when he attends her brother’s house party. Alarmed that her behavior would be revealed, she is not ready to believe he is showing true interest in her now. Can he convince her that he is ready to commit to love? Will she admit feelings for him? Or will he have to earn her affections?

Celia’s humorous initial encounter with Jasper was very enjoyable, more so with the wonderful narration for the audiobook version by Andrea Zuvich, who brings the “reading” experience alive for the listener. She does a great job with the voices, especially with her lovely British accent, to personalize the story and make it easy for the listener to get an accurate impression of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood, familiarize the reader with the characters, and offers a pleasant way to “read” and enjoy the book.
