Summary
The Widows Four is a stand-alone tie-in series to the scintillating Gentleman Courtesans by Victoria Vale.
Widowed Lady Miranda Hughes wants to indulge in something wicked - something she might never have dared to do as a young, unwed debutante. The rumors of male courtesans operating secretly in London have piqued her interest, so she hires one for an illicit rendezvous during a Christmas house party.
Roger Thornton’s desperation to provide a dowry for his sister pushes him to moonlight as a secret courtesan. What begins as a convenient affair blossoms into more as Roger and Miranda find in one another the things they have been missing. But will a scandalous discovery ruin their chances for a happy future?
Previously published as part of the holiday anthology, Have Yourself a Merry Little Scandal. This stand-alone version has been republished with a bonus epilogue!

Darcy and Victoria does it again!
Lovely short story to give you some Christmas cheer. If you love the courtesan series then this is a special one for you. This is much inline with the usual courtesan story and, as usual, read by the expert voice actor, Darcy Stark. Victoria Vale and Darcy Stark, the story and the narrator, equals one very enjoyable story!

loved it
Loved every second of it. i couldn't stop listening, haven't listened to one of Victoria Vales books for a while now, but I was anxiously awaiting for her next book to come out. I love her books and I love that they're really nice and steamy I can't get enough of them.
Darcy Stark as always was brilliant.
This was definitely worth a credit and will definitely listen ri the whole series again.
Now on to the next one of this series, His Brazen Tart.

A courtesan for Christmas? Yes, please!
I am a massive fan of Victoria Vale and she hasn't let me down so far. I have read this book before and I loved it so much that I have signed up for reviewing the audio book. I think Roger is one of my favourite VV characters because he's sweet, strong, responsible and handsome, and his stammer makes him even more likeable. Miranda is the perfect lady for Roger with her understanding, patient and clever personality. If you're familiar with Victoria's work, then you know what to expect, namely scorching hot scenes and being afraid of combust on the spot whilst reading, so make sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby when you're listening to this book.

A delightful and unusual Novella! 5*
This story is about Miranda, a widow, who is tempted by a friend to find out about a secret male courtesan business and she is intrigued!
Roger, the courtesan, is unusual insofar as not only is he a virgin but he has a stammer for which he is deeply ashamed.
This book is beautifully written. I really felt for Roger, having a speech impediment myself, and the author conveyed the anxiety perfectly.
Miranda is a very sympathetic character and it is a delight to watch their love bloom; and watching Roger learning to trust and speak without fear.
I'm not one generally for epilogues but this was again lovely and added even more depth to the story.
I can't wait for the next story!
Darcy Stark' narration was excellent and got Roger's stammer perfectly.
I received an ARC of this book by the author but my opinions are entirely my own.

Sugar and spice
I loved this story which is a twist on the normal courtesan/protector situation. Good narration too.
