Love and Other Scandals

Scandal

De: Caroline Linden

Narrado por: Veida Dehmlow

With Love and Other Scandals, bestselling and RITA Award-winning author Caroline Linden launches a scandalously sexy new historical romance series set in Regency England.

Joan Bennett is a breath away from being a spinster. She’s had four seasons without a suitor. After reading a shockingly sensuous book, Fifty Ways to Sin, Joan decides perhaps it’s time to stop being proper and start being sinful, while she’s still young enough to enjoy it. And what better partner than her brother’s drinking mate, Viscount Burke? He seems the type to know how to give a lady a lascivious adventure.

It seems that the viscount has qualms about trifling with a friend’s sister. That’s the way to end up betrothed. And he doesn’t want that - or does he?

Good story

I enjoyed this story every much. It moved along very well and was full of sass and fun. However, I almost gave up on the book as the narrator was basically intolerable. She was unable to create different voices which made it hard to follow sometimes. I find I enjoy dual narration.

Liked it a lot!

Everyone loves a story of a rake reforming because he falls in love with a woman! I liked it too because her mother was wrong and a prejudiced person, her father was easygoing, her aunt had been scandalous the main woman character when she was young, the main woman character was feisty, stubborn, argumentative, sexy and thoughtful! The main male character had his freedom, yes, but he had not been loved as a child and did not know how being loved felt. Therefore he, at first, led his life as a "rake", not knowing any better. But the woman did understand him, because she has been a wallflower most of her life, and thought of herself as ugly. It was a good book because the characters did make mistakes, but still tried to be better!

Love this book and the whole series!

Wonderful book-story and ending. Great characters, writing and I enjoyed the one that read the book!!

Unexpectedly sweet

This was a delightful listen. Everything you want out of a HR with unique and lovable characters. Had a bit of an issue with the narrator, she seemed to much older for the main characters but it wasn’t enough to hinder the enjoyment of my listening too much.

Great Interactions

Strong female & male characters with a great story where trust is not broken or compromised in the name of drama; plus the romance didn't overshadow the characters' intelligent thoughts. These two aren't swept into romantic idiocy, but both committedly fight for their own romantic connection with honesty. Very nicely handled by the author.

Loved it

What a great story. I'm usually not into the period stories but this one really got my attention. I love love such a great read

Glinda the good witch

The reader reminded me of Glinda the good witch. Her voice distracted me from the story. The author could have shortened the book and it would have been better and not so repetitive.

Great Story

I agree with another review. They Story overall is great but narrator wasn't the worst I have heard but not best either. The narrator had a pleasant voice but very bland. You can tell she was reading a book but not creating an actual character in away.
I am looking forward to listening to next book in the series.

Mislead but happy

The story is not as described but was very good. Quite sexy not my usual preference but done well.

Getting to the alter.

The descriptions of the scenes were very precise. the characters were very well written.
