About this audiobook
Enter the unforgettable world of New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens, creator of the phenomenal Cynster family. This amazing clan—and their friends—is a bold, powerful group of men who let nothing stand in their way when it comes to matters of the heart. And in this, Stephanie Laurens's newest novel, a passionate man and a daring woman confront the ultimate question. …
What Price Love?
There is nothing more fascinating than a darkly handsome rake, especially one as controlled and elusive as Dillon Caxton, protégé of Demon Cynster. Despite his dangerous air, Dillon is a man of sterling reputation, but it wasn't always so. Years ago, an illicit scheme turned into a nefarious swindle, and only the help of his cousin, Felicity, and her husband, Demon, saved Dillon from ruin. Now impeccably honest, he guards his hard-won reputation and is the Keeper of the Register of all racing horses in England. His standing and aloofness make Dillon undeniably desirable to young ladies, but despite all the lures thrown his way, he remains uninterested—his attention unfixed.
Until "Miss Priscilla Dalling" erupts into his life. A stunning beauty, she affects Dillon as no other ever has, but what fascinates him even more is that this tempting young lady is clearly desperate, and equally clearly lying about wanting to see the Register to fulfill the whim of an eccentric aunt.
Lady Priscilla Dalloway will do anything to see what's in the Register -- even lie!
Her twin brother, Russell, who had fought with their father and left the family home to work with the finest racehorses, has disappeared. Pris knows that clues to his whereabouts can be found in the tome Dillon Caxton refuses to let her see.
She unleashes her feminine wiles on Dillon—to no avail. But Dillon is now determined to learn the truth behind her quest. Exploiting the powerful attraction that flares between them, he succeeds in convincing Pris to tell him all, to trust him with her twin's life. Together, Dillon and Pris locate Rus, only to discover that his life is being threatened by the perpetrators of a massive betting swindle.
The time is ripe for Dillon to repay old debts by helping another as he himself was helped. Assisted by Demon, Felicity, and Barnaby Adair, Dillon and Pris embark on a journey riddled with danger—and undeniable passion—as they seek to overturn the swindle and expose Rus's deadly enemies. And along the way they discover the answer to that age-old question: What price love?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved every second of it. The plot was brilliant. It got quite exciting in some parts. This was another one of my favourites.
And what a difference a narrator makes, missed Simon Prebble as he didn't narrate the 2 pervious ones, which was a pity as the other narrators ruined them.
Love Simon Prebble, he's a brilliant narrator. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this one. It's about half the length of most of the others in the series, and I think that made it feel more focused and less bogged down. Also, because of the length, there didn't need to be a bunch of relationship angst in the third quarter to keep the drama going for another hundred pages or something. So instead, it was just a teensy blip and then they moved on. I liked that much more. Also the couple seemed more evenly matched than most of the previous books, which I greatly preferred as well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I adore this series!! Stephanie Laurens is a master at the Alpha Rake!! I love the men pursuing their ladies!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best Stephanie Laurens I've read in a long time.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Romances are read to ease one's brain and stir up one's body. The best romances encite one to wake up one's husband from the inspiration provided. Stephanie Laurens writes good, sexy romances. They are predictable in the path they take -- strong woman taken on by a stronger man. She has a huge emphasis on the inevitability of their being together combined with the fact that they both must chose to be together in order to make it work. I just like her books. There is always a mystery to solve as well to keep the plot moving along. She's good and this book is good (but not one of the better) books in a very good series.
