Summary

Robin Loxleigh and his sister Marianne are the hit of the Season, so attractive and delightful that nobody looks behind their pretty faces.

Until Robin sets his sights on Sir John Hartlebury's heiress niece. The notoriously graceless baronet isn't impressed by good looks, or fooled by false charm. He's sure Robin is a liar - a fortune hunter, a card sharp, and a heartless, greedy fraud - and he'll protect his niece, whatever it takes.

Then, just when Hart thinks he has Robin at his mercy, things take a sharp left turn. And as the grumpy baronet and the glib fortune hunter start to understand each other, they also find themselves starting to care - more than either of them thought possible.

But Robin's cheated and lied and let people down for money. Can a professional rogue earn an honest happy ever after?

Contains mature themes.

Heartwarming

From the blurb and the title of this book I wasn't expecting the heartwarming story that this became.

Be warned if you aren't open-minded or gay you probably won't enjoy it. I did.

Great story

A lovely period romance. Made all the more entertaining by the narrators wonderful vocal capability. In particular his rendition of aristocratic older women. Hilarious and entertaining

Perfect for histrom lovers!

If you’re feeling Bridgerton withdrawal this is overall a fun book taking place during the marriage mart season.

There are also SO MANY CHARACTER NAMES 😂 and I also kept forgetting the nephew even existed.

I loved the two main female characters though! And would absolutely read a book of them galavanting around Germany and falling in love with each other.

Always enjoy Cornell Collins’ narrations!

So good! Better than what it may appear from the outside

I truly enjoyed it. I love how change for the 2 main characters is around learning to have greater empathy for others. Lovely and fun.

utterly delightful

This is a delectable confection of absurdity, comedy, smut and sweetness, yet keeps its feet firmly on the ground of the realities of the characters' lives. Masterly.

Classic K.J. Charles

Another fantastic historical romp - literally. Everything I love about this author’s writing. Breeches, humour and a little smut! Fabulous!

A good ending

I struggled to like the characters in this story at first, but I’m glad I ‘read’ on. It’s a good romance with a conflict about high regency society. A very satisfying ending when the pompous elite get what’s coming to them. Not sure the narrator was young enough though, but he did a good enough job of it. Despite making Hart sound like a blustering eighty year old when apparently his character was 32.
