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

All stars
Most relevant
The book is an improvement over the previous one.
Sex is still rampant, but the story manages to be heard.
The Hero and Heroine have traumatic passes, which have to be overcome.
The humour survives, all the secondary characters and more make it palatable.
The narrator doesn't change, and her style might not appeal to everyone.

F---k, is the prevalent word.

Another funny story by Tessa Dare! I loved 19th century vegetarian Penny and how she turned her neighbour's life upside down. But else could you expect from Ms Dare? If you like laugh out loud stories with a little bit of steam, then this book is definitely for you.

Funny, like Tessa Dare
