Entertaining, but slightly ruined by a flaw.

The two main characters are extremely entertaining and a pleasure to listen too. The secondary characters are good, some more prominent than others, though Hope comes across as a selfish child. Philip was built up to be a certain character and fills the brief.
The note of servere discord, was the tedious amount of time it took for the Heroine to tell her story and declare her love. I am amazed that as a Rake, he didn't guess her obvious downfall.
I started to fast forward at the end, I was heartily bored of hearing any more reasons of why they were not engaged.
Still worth a credit.

Absolutely Entertaining!

An enjoyable, romantic, and humourous book. Extremely well written with an engaging storyline (and plot), and well developed characters.

I found the lead man very very funny and sexy. There were numerous scenes that made me burst out laughing.

I did find it a little unrealistic that the leading lady who had never really lived nor was exposed to the world, at 21 yrs of age, seemed so mature, brave, and extremely wise about everything... except love, of course.

The narrator, Heather Wilds, is one of the best I have heard. Superb reading and impressions.

I really enjoyed this book.

Joyous

I enjoyed this audio book so much it is difficult to find superlatives. Clever and amusing dialogue , superb narration bringing to life the humour and characters of the story. Good times and bad times it was all there.

Good book nicely narrated.

This was my first Anne Gracie book and wouldn't be the last, I'm sure. Enjoyable story with oh so much appreciated humour. Admittedly there is an obligatory now days sex scene or two, but plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep you guessing right to the end.
Narration was perfection, done in good British English and no annoying mispronunciations. One star removed due to lengthy "declaration of love" part. It took far too long for the heroine to get the "he loves me" point.

The Perfect Rake

The story was good. Orphaned sisters escape the clutches of a violent grandfather with the ingenuity of the eldest. They go to their great uncle who is a bit eccentric. To enable her younger sisters to "come out " she pretends to be engaged to a Duke so they can. He's not the Duke though... Loved the story, the narration not so much.

Audacious, Amusing and Adventurous!

This is a lovely, lovely tale, admirably narrated by Heather Wilds! It’s great to hear a British historical novel actually read by a Brit! It adds to the authenticity of the story!

Even though the whole tenure of this book is lighthearted and laugh out loud funny in a couple of scenes, there is also an additional underlying dark, evil, spiteful side that is given an ‘incidental’ gloss over it and no real attention paid to it. That’s a shame.
