Passions of a Wicked Earl

By: Lorraine Heath

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

Known throughout for his prowess in the bedroom, Morgan Lyons, the eighth Earl of Westcliffe, cannot forgive an unpardonable affront to his honor. Discovering his young bride in the arms of his brother was a staggering blow - so he banished the beautiful deceiver to the country and devoted himself to the pursuit of carnal pleasure.

Claire Lyons was an innocent, frightened girl on her wedding day, seeking chaste comfort from a childhood friend. Now, years later, she has blossomed magnificently and has returned to London with one goal in mind: the seduction of her notorious husband. Unskilled in the sensual arts, she burns nonetheless for the kisses too long denied her. And she has but one Season to win back the heart of the rogue she betrayed.

They are masters of seduction, London's greatest lovers. Living for pleasure, they will give their hearts to no one... until love takes them by surprise.

Can't Get Enough

The fantastic combination of Lorraine Heath writing and Anne Flosnik narrating is guaranteed to be good.

This story is a perfect example. My only complaint is that the antagonist might have been developed a little more to build suspense.


That aside, great love story. Great listen!!

As a narrator, Anne Flosnik grows on you - at least she has grown on me. I recall sometime ago complaining about her narration, but after a number of excellent performances, I'm sold on her.

LOVELY LITTLE STORY

Would you listen to Passions of a Wicked Earl again? Why?

Yes, because I love stories like this. Always get caught up with them.

What other book might you compare Passions of a Wicked Earl to and why?

Did not hear much yet so can't compare it.

Have you listened to any of Anne Flosnik’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I love her way of reading.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes when she lost the child.

Wonderful start to a great series

Westcilffe is a bit hard to like in the beginning of this book. He doesn't have very many redeemable qualities....until he lets Claire into his heart. They have a beautiful romance. Plenty of steamy love scenes and some heart wrenching serious moments. Heath always adds some dark or troubled elements to her stories. This is no exception, but "IT" (because I don't want to spoil anything) isn't superficial - "IT" has a place to make the story better.

BUT!!!! Oh Westcliffe has a real problem letting his wife explain anything and he has some major trust issues! (which are understandable - but annoying)

This story will make you laugh, smile, cry, scream - but after the halfway point - you will not want to stop listening for any reason!

I gave it only 3 stars because the story took a little too long to really draw me in...but once it did - I was hooked!

The Dutchess and Leo are GREAT supporting characters. They play a role through all three books. The Dutchess's relationship with each of her sons weaves its way into each son's story as well.

Don't miss this series. Book 2 is a 4 star by the way!
