Any Rogue Will Do

By: Bethany Bennett

Narrated by: Harriet Fraser

In a "splendid Regency-set debut" for fans of bestselling authors Sarah MacLean, Lenora Bell, and Kerrigan Byrne, the rogue who once ruined Lady Charlotte's reputation is now the only one who can save her (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review).

For exactly one season, Lady Charlotte Wentworth played the biddable female the ton expected -- and all it got her was society's mockery and derision. Now she's determined to be in charge of her own future. So when an unwanted suitor tries to manipulate her into an engagement, she has a plan. He can't claim to be her fiancé if she's engaged to someone else. Even if it means asking for help from the last man she would ever marry.

Ethan, Viscount Amesbury, made a lot of mistakes, but the one he regrets the most is ruining Lady Charlotte's reputation. Going along with her charade is the least he can do to clean the slate and perhaps earn her forgiveness. Pretending to be in love with the woman he's never forgotten is easy. What isn't easy is convincing her to give him a second chance.

Critic reviews

"In [a] splendid Regency-set debut . . . Bennett turns a spotlight on the class distinctions and gender restrictions of 1819 England, with a formidable leading lady and a swoon-worthy hero with lower-class roots. Filled with gripping drama, strong characters, and steamy seduction, this tantalizing story is sure to win the hearts of Regency fans."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Everything I adore in a Regency--wit, steam, and heart!"—Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author

Charming Story...

Both the MCs are endearing and I stayed interested in their story. The narrator was fine when reading, but all her voices sounded the same and it was hard to distinguish the different characters. The problem was, however most noticeable with her male voices. They all sounded exactly the same. On top of that, the Scottish accent was near unbearable. I was invested in their story so stuck with it.

The writing is good, if you can ignore a few anachronisms.

Sweet and steamy. Can’t wait for more.

Sweet and steamy debut novel and start to what is sure to be a great series. Loved the build up of the Hero and Heroine’s relationship from enemies to friends to lovers. Halfway through was already looking forward to Lord Carlisle’s story. Looking forward to more from this author.

At Once Classic and Unexpected

This story of redemption and triumph was well crafted, the banter quick and the emotions deep. Secondary characters added depth and the main characters were realistic. I loved Lottie’s willingness to reconsider long-held beliefs and goals. Ethan was steadfast and lovable. The plot took a few unexpected turns, but felt familiar to a lover of historical romance.

The narration was generally good, though there were a few spots where the sound changed and it distracted from the story.

Good story

I enjoyed this book! The narrator could be a tad irritating at times, but tolerable. The tale was detailed, cute, well developed and well written.
The heated bits were good and hot. The villain was worth hating and the hero worthy of affection.

Narrator spoiled it for me ☹️

The story was good, but I found the narration disappointing. The author, Bethany Bennett describes the hero as big, well muscled and beautiful, but the voice Ms Fraser gave him was that of a ten year old, breathless lad. Sometimes the heroine’s voice was deeper, really? If it wasn’t that I wanted to find out how the story ended, I would'nt have struggled through to the end. But I did, albeit with sighs and often eye rolling. Any Rogue Will Do is an enjoyable tale, but I will recommend reading the book rather than getting the audible.
