When the Earl Desired Me

The Rake Chronicles, Book 3

By: Lydia Lloyd

Narrated by: Christy Woods

He thought he'd lost her forever . . .

Lord Augustus Carrington, the Earl of Montaigne, is rumored to be the most abandoned rake in England. But the ton would be shocked if they knew the truth. Almost twelve years ago, he fell deeply in love with Olivia Watson, a maid in his family's house, and experienced a passion that changed him body and soul. When she disappeared, he was destroyed—and completely unable to forget her.

After her devastating affair with the Earl of Montaigne, Olivia Watson promised herself she would never go back to Mayfair. But when her employer decides to return to London, Olivia has no choice but to follow. Almost immediately, she finds herself face-to-face with the man who crushed her heart. Unfortunately, she still nurses an unbearable attraction to him and, even worse, he has the audacity to demand an explanation for her flight.

When Montaigne tries to win Olivia back, the truth of their history quickly begins to reveal itself. Will their different stations in life keep them apart forever? Or will he convince her that this time they can have their happily ever after?

Contains mature themes.

The story line

I love these books. They are creative and very engaging. I plan on reading them as well.

Sweet AND Steamy

I think I fell more than a little in love with Monty as I read this! He is so earnest in his love for Olivia, and what the author reveals about his character is (deep sigh) just so romantic!! I love this series more with each book, and I'm devastated Book 4 isn't available on Audible!

Pretty ok ending

After all of the build up regarding who caused our heroine to leave 13 years ago, the culmination was a bit light with the confrontation-that part wasn’t really satisfying, but kind of “meh”. Otherwise, this was a tidy closing to the previous storyline. Whenever the novella and final book regarding Leith are recorded, I will probably listen. Be sure to purchase on sale!!
