About this audiobook
Together they may create a scandal worthy of the stage, but can their love last after the final curtain falls…?
Successful playwright Maggie Delamere has no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron, Viscount Marwood. She once paid dearly for a moment of weakness…and vows to rebuff the wildly persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every turn. But when pressure to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation to use his country estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist....
For years, Cam has admired Maggie’s brilliant work and he can’t pass up the opportunity to discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as passionate and clever as the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a lady his bed without being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her inhibitions—he’ll do exactly that.
But soon Cam’s plans for seduction become a fight for Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree rake society believes him to be…and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The content of the book was enjoyable and I do enjoy listening to a narration but a narration with just a woman alone without any of the parts being played by a man's voice doesn't seem real and it was distracting
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’m not sure why I didn’t love this book more as it had great elements that I normally love. But I found myself skimming parts of this book. I think it was because not much happened and everything that did was entirely expected. I’m going to finish the trilogy but I don’t think I’d recommend it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It seemed like a step or two of their budding romance just wasn't there. They still ended up with the same result of being in love (obviously), but I didn't buy the progression so I wasn't as engaged as I wanted to be. And again the heroine became irrational the second she was upset and the hero had to apologize at the level of her upset rather than at the level of whatever misstep he'd done. And, like the first book, the only thing standing in their way is a societal norm that is *insurmountable*- until it just isn't. Meh. I like that these heroines work for a living and have carved out some success for themselves, and that the heroes aren't at all bothered by it but instead admire them for it. It was worth reading but not otherwise remarkable for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Eva Leigh continues her The Wicked Quills of London series with another heroine who is good with a quill. This one is a playwright and she is having a 'writer's block', but have no fear. Our hero has been admiring this woman for some time now, and he comes up with a solution to her problem.
I have to say that this story was a tad slower than the first book, but I did like the characterization of the hero. He was such a romantic and a lot of fun to follow around.
The heroine took a bit of getting to know and once I had a better picture of who she was I begun to warm up to her.
Together, they were an interesting couple, but the romance was driven mostly by our hero, which at times felt a bit awkward. Once the heroine gets on board, the chemistry was undeniable and the story is richer for it.
