After a night of debauchery, Lord Barclay wakes up to find a woman in his bed. That's not unusual, but this one is fully clothed. When she tells him they are married, he is instantly cold sober and looking for a way out. Miss Sarah Vincent, an orphan raised in an American convent, didn't ask for this marriage. She'll be damned if it's in name only. But seducing a man? How ever will she do that?! Good thing her friend lent her a copy of The Kama Sutra . . .

Uneventful, boring people. You could fast forward to chapter 17 which is 3 hours remaining and probably no just as much if you listen to it from the beginning. I like the other two books but this one was tedious.

Nothing but a few kisses here. I love stories of misfits and this foots the bill. Loved Danny, too. Too bad no one edits these virtual voice as they are riddled with errors.

Her carefree, happy life is disrupted when her family is summoned to the bedside of her grandfather, the dying Earl of Stanton, in England. There, circumstances force her into a marriage with the last person she ever thought to marry—Benedict Sedgwick, the newly appointed parish curate who wears threadbare clothes and blushes in the presence of women.

Reviewed: 04-03-24
Holy Smokes! This one is scorching with it's intimate scenes, just the way I like them. It's 1860 and this story is about the niece to the main characters in book one, 25 years later in America. All the family is here but it's 18 year old promiscuous Grace's story. Knocked up by a married man on the ship from America back to England, Grace finds refuge in the kind, soft spoken vicar's curate Benedict the virgin. The book gave me a few OMG gasps and I'm half way through listening.
And I absolutely LOVE Philip Battley. These 2 books remind me so much of his readings of Emma V. Leech's series Rogues and Gentlemen. When 2 opposites come together and the ending is very happy.

Life has not been kind to Charlotte Harding. Orphaned, impoverished and plain-looking, she depends on the charity of relatives who take her in when she has nowhere else to go. In their London home, she meets the rich and handsome Viscount Stanton who is promised to the beautiful heiress, Miss Powell. Charlotte is smitten with him on first sight, but the Viscount barely notices her except to note her unprepossessing looks and shabby dress.

First, I have had a crush on Philip Battley for quite a few years. His narration and voices are yummy!
The plain, plumpish girl gets the randy viscount. Can't wait for more books. The story was wonderful and very steamy (explicit/dirty.)
Not at all like Austen and Heyer.

Dot oh Zero oh. The virtual voice is so much better than a lot of the real narrators out there. I listen to MANY books per month and there are very good authors whose readers are so terrible, I will not listen to them, ie Justine Eyre and Heather Wilds.
Who is editing these stories? So many mix-ups by the virtual voice (such as should for shoulder.) And why the dot oh zero oh? Those should have been removed. I really liked this book.

I really liked the "reader" but these 3 stories of 3 sisters are literally identical. Each girl rescued by a nobleman and pushed into a marriage of convenience. Book 1 was okay, then 2 and 3 got worse.
I really like the book "Marriage Made In Devon." Listen to that one.

One would think the last place a beauty like Fallon O'Rourke could keep her virtue was in the Mayfair mansion of London's most licentious duke, the notorious Dominic Hale. Yet Fallon - who's endured nothing but lecherous advances since her father's tragic death - is perfectly safe there...disguised as a footman! Beneath the notice of the dark-haired devil with his smoldering blue eyes and sinful smile, Fallon never imagines her secret will be discovered. But how long can her deception last?

Reviewed: 09-21-23
My goodness Sophie, you published this drivel? Another reviewer called it "Drab" and that's rating it highly. I'm not a huge fan of roll reversal, as this tall girl is working as a footman cum valet for a libertine. When said drunk scoundrel walks into the valets bedroom and sees it's actually a girl that has stepped out of the bath, he nearly rapes her. Kudos to Fallon for having a lot of gumption but I'm seeing no need to continue past chapter 14.
