The Marquess of Temptation

Reluctant Regency Brides Series, Book 3

By: Claudia Stone

Narrated by: Duchess DeFoix, Duke DeFoix

Since her father’s death, Miss Hestia B. Stockbow has been living a lie. Working as a companion, under an assumed name, all she wants to do is keep her head down and forget about the scandalous tragedy that haunts her past.

There’s only one problem…

After two delicious, stolen kisses, the usually icy and aloof Alexander Delaney, Marquess of Falconbridge, finds himself entranced by Belinda Bowstock, a lowly paid companion. When he discovers that she is, in fact, his missing ward, Alex realizes there's only one thing he can do: Marry the chit and help her solve the mystery of her father's suspicious death.

There’s only one problem, Belinda has absolutely no desire to wed the cold Lord Delaney - and she’s not the type of lady to take orders from anyone...even a Marquess.

A nice story

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. The narrators were very good. Both made the story come to life even though it did not seem like a great story. I did listen to the whole story because I liked the narrators. Sometimes I got a little lost in the story but overall it was a nice story.

Humorous and sweet

This is the first book in the series that I've read, it didn't seem to matter so I'm considering these standalone books.

I really enjoyed this romance, it was lovely to see Alexander smitten with Hestia from the beginning and Hestia not being interested.

There were some interesting plot points like Hestia's father being a pirate and Alexander being a historian, I wish these had been more developed.

The narration was well done, the two narrators work well together. The character voices and the overall delivery are clear, consistent and convey the story well.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Good

I enjoyed listening to this book. This book could absolutely be a standalone book, but I am very interested in listening to the rest of the series. The narrators performance is amazing. I look forward to completing this series. I highly recommend this book.

I received this audiobook free of charge at my request in return for my honest review.

A Great Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. Hestia's life is not going so well. After the death of her parents, she becomes a lady's companion and wants a nice quiet life. Then she catches the eye of the Marquess of Falconbridge. Nothing is easy or simple after that. A cat and mouse game begins between them as they investigate her father's death. A fun romp of two strong character with well written banter. Between the well written characters, the fast moving plot and the narration that brings it to life, you'll keep listening longer than you intended.
