Wicked Intentions

I don\’t understand all the bad reviews. I thought this was a good steamy romance. Most \”romance\” books these days seem to have very little plot with heavy emphasis on sex scenes. I\’m not a prude and I mostly enjoy the adult content but I do like to have a good plot. This delivered on both for me. It had great characters, a good mystery and a HEA. Basically everything I expect in a good romance book. If you don\’t care for this genre or you don\’t like hot sex scenes then this one is not for you (probably the reason for some of the bad reviews). I thought the narration was good as well. This is set in London in the 1700\’s why shouldn\’t the narrator have an English accent? Again, I don\’t get the negative reviews but narration is a personal preference. This was a credit worthy listen for me.

This audiobook grabbed me from the first. The plot is actually very interesting, especially if you like period novels. This one is set in London. It has the drama of \”aristocracy meets working class,\” and in this case the woman is lovely, strong and hard working. The aristocrat of the story is a rather handsome, yet unloved/unlovable duke. If you\’ve ever read a romance novel, you can imagine what happens. It\’s also a murder mystery with all the normal conflicts and plot twists. The dialogue is believable and the narrator is good. One caution, for those not interested in, um, \”romantic\” scenes. This audio book is full of \”romance.\” They\’re done well and add to the thrill of the story, so to speak, but if you were to fast-forward through them you\’d be left with a pretty quick story. Overall this audio book kept me on the treadmill a lot longer, helped with the housework, and was definitely entertaining, so it gets 5 stars.

I couldn\’t stop listening to this book, I finished it in 2 days. Great story and great narrator ( and I am very picky about narrators!).

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Elizabeth Hoyt is becomming one of my favorites. I can not wait for the next in this series. Also narrator was good, I have not listened to anything narrated by her before but I did like her voice:) As far as the book yes it has rather explicit love scenes (not untill 70% of the book though) but I like it, if you do not like that, this book is probably not for you.

Lazarus needs a guide, someone that the people in St. Giles to talk to him about the murder of his ex-mistress. He finds that guide in Temperance, a brave widow that runs a foundling home in St. Giles, but she needs money. They strike a deal and dive into a mystery of vicious murders as they learn about love.
