About this listen
For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple: find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books. It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes. Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with.
He has no plans to marry anytime soon - if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler's niece, the difficult debutante's blend of sweetness and sharp tongue makes him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love. Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric's shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard - and to rob him of the woman he can't live without.

Stolen heart
A wounded hero, who learns that he doesn’t have to fear loving someone and a young heroine used as a pond by the men in her world. I loved Godric and Emily. They are good characters on their own, but together - there chemistry was awesome. She’s feisty, intelligent, and certain of what she wants. He’s stubborn, protective, and afraid of being abandoned. There were times in the story when I wanted to haul off and hit Godric because of his behaviour – never in a bad way. His behaviour perfectly fit his character. He’s one of those characters that despite how he behaves you along with the heroine fall in love with him.
This is the first book in the series and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the gentleman we were introduced to and find out what adventures await them.
While the league of rogues plays a major role in the story, I’m a little confused on its history i.e., how it was formed and why, hopefully that will describe more as the books go along. As well, I’m hoping to continue to see the characters (especially those who are couples) throughout the rest of the series.
I listened to this book on audio and found the narrator easy to follow regardless of the speed. She did a pretty good job of changing her voice to match the character speaking, although I did get confused a few times with the characters in the beginning – I think it was a combination of listening to the book on audio and how the characters were introduced.
