À propos de cet audio
New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas delivers the unforgettable tale of a strong-willed beauty who encounters her match in one of London's most notorious - yet irresistible - rakes.
An eccentric wallflower
Most debutantes dream of finding husbands. Lady Pandora Ravenel has different plans. The ambitious young beauty would much rather stay at home and plot out her new board game business than take part in the London Season. But one night at a glittering society ball, she's ensnared in a scandal with a wickedly handsome stranger.
A cynical rake
After years of evading marital traps with ease, Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, has finally been caught by a rebellious girl who couldn't be less suitable. In fact she wants nothing to do with him. But Gabriel finds the high-spirited Pandora irresistible. He'll do whatever it takes to possess her, even if their marriage of convenience turns out to be the devil's own bargain.
A perilous plot
After succumbing to Gabriel's skilled and sensuous persuasion, Pandora agrees to become his bride. But soon she discovers that her entrepreneurial endeavors have accidentally involved her in a dangerous conspiracy - and only her husband can keep her safe. As Gabriel protects her from their unknown adversaries, they realize their devil's bargain may just turn out to be a match made in heaven.

Not What I'd Hoped For, But Superb Narration
This just wasn't what I'd hoped for.
First, the blurb says that Gabriel is a "Cynical rake", which led me to expect more scenes that had him grappling with his feelings, or perhaps him being confused by his feelings of love. But, nope. He just jumped right into his marriage with both feet, very abruptly enamoured with Pandora.
The romance in this novel was a bit too swift for my liking. Honestly, I felt like this romance (and, really, the novel) ended when they got married. The second half of the novel was basically a lead-in to the next book, like a *really* long epilogue. I wish that there'd been more tension between the h&h; not necessarily a conflict, but more sexual tension to keep things interesting.
For a man with "certain tastes" when it came to bed sport, I really expected more heated love scenes, but this felt very tame. Disturbingly, Gabriel treated Pandora like a child, being overly gentle and affectionate, when in this particular novel, with their particular personalities, good "bodice-ripping" love scenes would have been vastly preferable. I hate to say it, but this was a real let-down.
The reason that I'm giving this three stars, instead of two, is because Lisa Kleypas has a wonderful way with words, her descriptions were superb, and the characters (individually) were lovely.
I absolutely *loved* Mary Jane Wells as a narrator. She pulled off the accents perfectly, giving every character a different voice. I will definitely listen to more of her books. Very well done!
