About this listen

A gentleman and a very improper lady are bound together by a passion that crosses the line between upper class and underworld in Caroline Linden's daring new romance...

After a wayward youth, David Reece, the youngest scion in a noble family, has been called one of the most scandalous rogues of the ton. What he wants to be called is trustworthy and a true gentleman. To prove he has reformed he's agreed to watch over his absent brother's estate and signet ring. All is going swimmingly until highwaymen waylay his coach and steal that precious ring...

Street orphan Vivian Beecham has grown up a pickpocket, and a very pretty one indeed. Now she and her brother have reluctantly graduated to highway robbery. And handsome David Reece has become their victim - until he tracks her down and makes her his prisoner. Locked in a spare bedroom, Vivian vows to hate her captor. Instead she becomes a former rogue's greatest challenge: the object of a passionate seduction. But David and Vivian are playing a dangerous game in which forbidden love is a wild card . . .

I didn’t hate it, but I didn't like it either.

The entire concept was too preposterous for me to actually enjoy it.

This was regency era, he's both the son & brother of a Duke & he's seriously courting a thief/ pickpocket. Ludicrous.

She goes on that she wants to protect her brother, but happily abandons him for weeks on end, with a man that she's said is very capable of murdering her brother, rather than just doing as he asks, especially when he quite clearly states that he won't have them
arrested... make it make sense!

The ending was the icing on the cake of this farcical tale.

Preposterous storyline

I can honestly say this was 10 chapters too long and did not live up to the other two books

Not the best of the three

After I loved book 1 so much I was slightly disappointed by book 2

The story is lacking - even so it is beautifully presented by the narrator- the plot is rather bland and dull …

I listed to it as I had liked the character from book 1 and found him pleasing…

Well - I shall now start book 3 - let’s see if the plot will be better …

Part II is weak ,,,

Another good story (better than most in the genre ), and the narration greatly improved since the first in the series. I enjoyed this.

Good story, narration improved
