The Perfect Groom

The Dunne Family Series, Book 6

By: Chasity Bowlin

Narrated by: Lillian Yves, Vincent Lee Grayson

Miss Penelope Dennings grew a conscience and made an enemy. By confessing her role in the events that nearly destroyed the marriage of Lord and Lady Mayville, she helped to bring them back together… but it has cost her everything. Her friends have turned their backs on her and she is all but a pariah in society.

Theo Blake, Lord Ralston, is a man who needs a wife. Any wife. His title and entailed estates are secure, but a significant inheritance hangs in the balance if he remains a bachelor. There’s only one problem. He’s too nice. Handsome and even rich, when compared to the rogues, rakes and general bad boys of society, there is really no comparison. All the eligible ladies simply look over him as if he were completely invisible.

But invisibility gives him a unique insight into Miss Dennings terrible situation. So Ralston makes her an offer—one she cannot refuse. But not everyone wants to see them settled in a happy union. Jealousy is an ugly and destructive force and Theo, for the first time in his life, might have to fight dirty to get what he wants. And despite the rather perfunctory nature of their courtship, he’s realized that what he wants, above all else, is Penelope…

When inadvertently caught in a compromising position with Penelope, Theo has a scathingly brilliant idea to fix BOTH their problems in … “The Perfect Groom”, a completely delightful, tremendously satisfying regency romance! The writing is crisp, clear, heated and beautiful! The characters are all fully designed, and fully developed! I loved some, while others got a bit … under my skin, a few really making me uncomfortable, which I am certain is exactly what was intended! They were All convincing, and ALL resonated as REAL! The dialogue was beautifully written, rang true and served to move the story along at a smooth pace, holding my interest throughout! Without going into plot details, (I don’t want to play spoiler), let me just say that there was a ton of story to hold me firmly engaged! A bit of intrigue, a bit of action, a nice amount of beautifully written heat, a delightfully growing romance, the perfect amount of conflict (for lack of a better word), and such a satisfactory resolution! As the events played out, ALL came alive in my minds eye through absolutely top notch, first class STUNNINGLY professional narration! Both narrators made excellent voicing choices that perfectly fit each character’s unique personality, AND that voicing was perfectly consistent throughout the entire performance! Emotions were beautifully conveyed through vocal intonation and timing! I was stunned by the level of emotion I felt while listening! I really felt for these characters! EVERYTHING combined perfectly, writing and performance, to make this a first class listen that I absolutely LOVED! The Perfect Groom was PERFECT! Five stars perfect!
