The Rake Gets Ravished

By: Sophie Jordan

Narrated by: Carolyn Morris

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns with an all new sizzling historical romance in her Duke Hunt series about a woman determined to reclaim her family home from the dangerously handsome owner of London’s most popular gaming hell.

The owner of London’s most popular gaming hell, wealthy and powerful Silas Masters, is feared by men and desired by women—except Mercy Kittinger. When the blackguard wins her family home in a game of cards, Mercy steals into Silas’s rooms, intent on destroying the proof. But things don’t go to plan…

She would have her way with him...

Caught in the act, Mercy must be bold to save herself...even if it means seducing the dangerous rogue and then disappearing with the dawn, debt voucher in hand. Safe at home and determined to settle back into her quiet, uneventful life, Mercy burns at the memory of her night spent ravishing the most compelling man she’d ever met. Thank goodness she’ll never see him again!

He didn't see her coming...

No one trifles with Silas Masters. Even if he could forget the dark-haired seductress who undid him, he can’t allow anyone to steal from him. He will hunt down the sultry woman who haunts his dreams and show her just how sweet payback can be.

Narrator voice is not deep enough

Narrator cannot deepen her voice for anything and makes the male characters sound comical. Completely ruins it.

annoying characters...very annoying

This was a re-listen to a book I had not rated upon first read. Lesson learned....no further listens. The story was pretty good, kept my attention unfortunately. The heroine, Mercy Kittinger, is the most aggravating character ever....her whole family is annoying. Silas, the hero is the only sane one in the book. A good narrator can make characters and events less annoying....but that didn't happen in this book. Sooo...this book goes in my "never again" folder.
