Storm Tossed Rogue

Men of the Marque, Book 1

By: Sandra Sookoo

Narrated by: Alexandra Jones

Trust can be a stumbling block, but it can also be freeing in the right circumstance.

With only her reprobate, now-dead husband to judge by, Marjorie Attler doesn’t trust men. The crumbling manor house by the sea is a fresh start, but when a privateer appears in her bed - while she’s sleeping - he introduces her to a passion she’d only dreamed. Then he challenges her legal claim to the property and her justified distrust intensifies.

After being at sea for five years, Clinton Montmorency, captain of the Storm Tossed Rogue, has come home for a spell. He wants peace and quiet, and perhaps a woman to warm his bed. Imagine his delight when he finds one beside him his first night home. She might do for a midnight companion, but he doesn’t need another managing female in his bachelor life.

Ownership of the house aside, they have bigger matters to square with. Marjorie’s disgraced cousin is about to give birth, while Clinton’s ward is making designs on his fortune. Throw in a smuggler, a sordid plot for the Rogue, as well a troublesome fever and it’s an adventure, complicated by the fact that Marjorie is as elusive and alluring as the sea while Clinton is just as hard to tame.

Could not stand the narrator’s voice.

I stopped listening to this book because I could not stand the narrator’s voice.She sounded like an old woman and all the characters sounded alike.I think I might have liked the book but I couldn’t handle her voice.

Story was great--the narrator was awful

I listen to the audio version of this. ook, it makes me want to purchase a print version only because the banter between the characters was really engaging. Too much was list by the annoying narrator.

All the female voices sounded like elderly school marks, the MMC really barely had any different vocal tone.

It sounded like the recording was was done in a bathroom, the sound quality was way off.

This book could have been so much better! It was on sale for just over $3 on Audible so I wasn't out too much for such a disappointing performance.
