About this listen

Lady Penelope cares for all creatures. Gabriel Duke cares for no one.

Can they care for each other?

Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke had to fight his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society—and now, with a reputation as the ‘Duke of Ruin’, he wants to get even.

Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home, and her heart.

When her imposing—and attractive—new neighbour demands she remove her animals, Penny resists his demand and makes a counter-offer. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes!

Rising to the challenge, Gabriel does not expect such a simple task to result in intimacy with Penny, and soon he finds this spirited spinster is not the push-over he thought.

But Gabe is not the only one with a past he’d rather forget. And if Penny is intent on saving Gabe, perhaps he might just need to save her first…

Perfect for fans of:

High society

Forced proximity

I do listen to a range of books and at the
Moment I am working my way through these with some delight. Partly because the narrator is excellent and the story is not so predictable. There is some good links to other books without having to read them all but it’s nice to hear the other characters

A good escapist read

I don't want to write another comment. the above should suffice . your demanding 15 words when I'm on a high from reading this brilliant book is FRUSTRATING.

Raunchiest book I've listened to in a very long time. Make sure you aren't interrupted! Mary Jane Wells and Tessa Dare at their best.

The story line is charming and is rather entertaining…

I simply find that the story could have done with less sex - occasionally one feels to listen to a soft porn

I am not prude BUT this is a period drama after all and I doubt that this would have happened in this period …
But apart from this - A CHARMING STORY

Charming plot …

Loved the narration - she brings the characters to life and communicates the humour really well.
The story could have had a bit more tension between the leads but all resolved in the end as it should.

Wonderful storytelling

This book was tremendous. I think the narrator is literally the best at this job! The author is amazing as usual too!!

So good

At first this seemed like just another light cosy regency read, but the plot and character development, lifted to brilliance by an incredible narrator, made it one of my favourite listens ever! The steam is on point, the humour is witty and the dialogue felt so honest and real... the whole series is enchanting, but this book is a true gem!

Just... wow!
