Summary
Top Ten Most Heartwarming Reads by Red Magazine.
Lady Penelope cares for all creatures. Gabriel Duke cares for no one. Can they care for each other?
Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke had to fight his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society—and now, with a reputation as the ‘Duke of Ruin’, he wants to get even.
Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home and her heart. When her imposing—and attractive—new neighbour demands she remove her animals, Penny resists his demand and makes a counter-offer. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes!
Rising to the challenge, Gabriel does not expect such a simple task to result in intimacy with Penny and soon he finds this spirited spinster is not the push-over he thought. But Gabe is not the only one with a past he’d rather forget. And if Penny is intent on saving Gabe, perhaps he might just need to save her first.

Easy read , funny in parts
Normal Tessa Dare type story. Silly storyline, but easy to listen to, and very funny in parts (if you don't mind swearing). Too much descriptive sex in this book. Less of that and more story would be better.

Excellent fun!
OK…this story won’t win points for historical accuracy, but if there were an award for excellent fun then it’ll definitely be a contender. And as for the performance by the narrator - she needs an award for excellence all of her own! I haven’t smiled so much through an audio book for ages. Well written story supported by a superb voice performance.

Wonderful storytelling
Loved the narration - she brings the characters to life and communicates the humour really well.
The story could have had a bit more tension between the leads but all resolved in the end as it should.

Just... wow!
At first this seemed like just another light cosy regency read, but the plot and character development, lifted to brilliance by an incredible narrator, made it one of my favourite listens ever! The steam is on point, the humour is witty and the dialogue felt so honest and real... the whole series is enchanting, but this book is a true gem!

A good escapist read
I do listen to a range of books and at the
Moment I am working my way through these with some delight. Partly because the narrator is excellent and the story is not so predictable. There is some good links to other books without having to read them all but it’s nice to hear the other characters

Charming plot …
The story line is charming and is rather entertaining…
I simply find that the story could have done with less sex - occasionally one feels to listen to a soft porn
I am not prude BUT this is a period drama after all and I doubt that this would have happened in this period …
But apart from this - A CHARMING STORY
