Desperately Seeking a Scoundrel

Rescued from Ruin, Book 3

By: Elisa Braden

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

Desperately seeking a fiance...

Miss Sarah Battersby is in dire need of a man, preferably one skilled at deception. Upon her father's death, she will be left with no home and nary a penny. With time running out, she must either accept the proposal of a man she loathes or stall long enough to secure a teaching position by telling one teensy, trifling lie - that she is promised to someone else...who doesn't technically exist.

But Sarah refuses to be defeated by insignificant details. The answer lies in finding the right man for the job. As luck would have it, she has stumbled on just the candidate...though he could use a little patching up.

Desperately seeking a refuge...

Where Lord Colin Lacey goes, trouble follows - even when he attempts to do right. Tortured and hunted by a brutal criminal, he is rescued from death's door by the stubborn, oddly fetching Miss Battersby. In return, she asks one small favor: pretend to be her fiance. Temporarily, of course.

With danger nipping his heels, he knows it is wrong to want her, wrong to agree to her terms. But when has Colin Lacey ever done the sensible thing?

Desperately seeking a love to conquer all...

As lies turn to longing, and longing to something deeper, they realize it will take more than passion to see them through the danger to come. They will need a plan. They will need family. Above all, they will need a love strong enough to steel a lady's resolve and transform a scoundrel's heart.

Contains mature themes.

Very enjoyable.

I liked this book enough that I listened in the car, at home while I cooked and cleaned, and before bedtime.

No matter the past you WILL fall in love with Colin

My 3rd book in the series, I accidentally read one out of order. Good series. Very interesting characters.

Exciting End To an excellent series

I had no idea how Elisa Braden was going to redeem Colin Lacey but done how she did and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Edge of your seat moments, extremely steamy moments balanced by humour made this book one I highly recommend.

Enjoyable

This is the third in the series. I didn’t think I would like Colin but it was pretty good. Author could have developed why Hero fell in love with Heroine. Wasn’t quite as clear once they were in London. Slightly thin on development of the relationship. I liked the first one the best and the second better than this one. I might go for the fourth but I don’t think they have it on escape and not sure I want to use a credit. I might though. If you have escape, this third one is worth a listen. Not sure I would use a credit for it.

Colin Redeemed! Another Great Story in The Series

Colin Lacey, you bad, bad man. The younger brother we hated in the other books is found near death by our heroine, school marm Miss Sarah Battersby. All the rest of the Clyde Lacey house family and friends are here.

Sexy hot but it's Mary Sarah Agliotta that brings these characters to life. I love her!

I've listened and/or read all of Elisa Braden's books and am so glad when Mary Sarah Agliotta is her narrator.

And Sophie Darling's. I seek out MS for her Regency reads. Love this team!
