What a Gentleman Wants

Reece Family Trilogy, Book 1

By: Caroline Linden

Narrated by: Heather Wilds

Two strangers are swept into a sizzling, spellbinding world of daring deception and unexpected passion...

Marcus Reese, Duke of Exeter, has spent most of his life pulling his twin brother out of trouble. A thank you would suffice; instead, his resentful sibling forges his name to a marriage license and presents him with an unwanted wife. She's a vicar's widow with a mind of her own, and the first person in Marcus's well-ordered life to make him feel...completely out of control.

Dire straits have led Hannah to the altar with a gentleman she hardly knows. Played for a fool, she's embarrassed, furious, and worse, married to an equally outraged, exasperating man who unleashes all manner of emotions in her - not to mention unwanted desire. Reluctantly, Hannah agrees to play the wife until he can sort out the mess. But the undeniably attractive Duke unsettles her well-guarded heart - making her want to do so much more than "act" the role of blissful bride...

Loved it

I read other reviews and thought this would be just a drag listen while I was driving, wrong, wrong, wrong. The actor reading actually acts while reading it. I came away impressed especially after some of the reviews. Sometimes it pays to go with your gut.

Great book

I thought it was a great story with twists. Can’t wait to read/listen to the next book

Entertaining and suspenseful

Kept me intrigued and engaged wondering what would be next in the story line. Very much enjoyed.

Surprising thriller

The plot takes twists and turns, providing an intriguing edge of your seat thrilling story. Exquisitely detailed and performed.

WONDERFUL! Strong FMC!! Loved story & her!

I enjoyed this book very much. Great writing & narration.

While the husband swap was a bit outlandish, the rest of the was fun and engaging. I loved that the heroine was a widow and single mother. It was easy to relate to why she went along with the changing events... she was a mother who was protecting her child's future. That is what I liked best. So much was realistic/ justified. What would you do for family?
The twin thing was terrific, too, and I came to like the nasty, misunderstood Duke overtime.

On to David's story next!

Is what a reader wants

This was an original story with a very good plot. A few surprising twists mixed in made it really enjoyable. The narration was really good 😊

Good story…annoying narration

The story was very good and the dialogue was excellent. Good plays on words. However, the narrator puts emphasis on the wrong words, ended each sentence as if it was a bullet point and sometimes forgot which character she was playing in delivering the dialogue. I would have enjoyed it much better with a better narrator.

Very good story

I was surprised how much I rnjoyed this book. I loved the special ending! And it was free Can't go wrong w/this. Narrator was good but not as good as others. But still worth llistening! to!
