Ripe for Pleasure

League of Second Sons, Book 1

By: Isobel Carr

Narrated by: Holly Chandler

Second in line, first in love
A secret society of younger sons, sworn to aid and abet each other, no matter the scandal or cost.... Their fathers and brothers may rule the world, but they run it . . . and when it comes to passion, they refuse to accept second best.

Searching for hidden treasure, finding forbidden fantasy
London's most sensual former courtesan, Viola Whedon, is incapable of being seduced—she does the seducing. Until she meets Leonidas Vaughn. Her salacious memoirs have made her the target of half the lords in England, and Vaughn is the only man she can turn to. When he promises to protect her—and to make her beg for his touch—the alluring beauty finds both offers impossible to refuse.
Leonidas Vaughn secretly believes Viola possesses a fortune given to his family by the King of France. So the strong and sexy Vaughn charms his way into Viola's life . . . and her bed. But when their arrangement is consummated, he'll experience pleasure far beyond his wildest fantasies-and realize his heart may need the most protection of all.

Loved all but the epilogue

Just discovered Isobel Carr. Excellent writing with intrigue and a healthy amount of steamy romance. One of the better historical romance writers and I have listened to quite a few. Holly Chandler was an excellent narrator. First time listening to her as well. I won't give away the ending other than to say it left me hanging which is the only reason I gave the story 4 stars instead of 5.
