    About this audiobook

    A Regency birthday party leads to love-and scandal!

    When Lucien, Isabelle, and Emily are invited to their great-uncle's seventieth birthday party, they hope the elderly duke's promise to make their lives easier means they'll be receiving cash. What they don't expect to find is love…and scandal!

    Lucien, incensed by his father's announcement that he's marrying a girl even younger than Lucien, resolves to convince the bride to back out-no matter what it takes. After a year of a marriage of convenience, Isabel is horrified to find her husband occupying the room next door-and making it clear he intends to move into her bed. And Emily, disillusioned by the whole notion of marriage after the death of her fiancé, decides it's time to take a lover instead…

    Three siblings, three romances-and three scandals-keep the ton buzzing in this Regency romp!

      Darling story-I love the way that there were three Romances in one novel!
    • 4/5
      Very interesting historical romance about two sisters and a brother and how their lives intertwine as they find love in very unexpected places. Scandalous but fund read.
    • 4/5
      This was a fun romance. An over-bearing father and a scheming great-uncle gang up on siblings Emily, Isabel, and Lucien to give them much improved lives. Emily has been living in seclusion since her fiance was killed in a duel with the brother of the woman he compromised. She got very tired of her father throwing more men at her but is now struggling to survive with a limited income and limited opportunities. She's bored! Her sister Isabel has been estranged from her husband since her wedding when he chose to support his friend in the duel which she felt was a betrayal of her sister. They have spent the past year avoiding each other. Their brother Lucien has been living in London on a small allowance and dodging the young women his father has been throwing at him.All meet together at their great-uncle's in hopes of bettering their lives. Also at the castle is the Duke's American heir. Naturally, Emily takes one look at him and takes an instant dislike to him. However, since she is determined not to marry but is interested in taking a lover, she thinks he would work quite well in that role. He isn't opposed but his sense of honor won't let him completely compromise her. Along the way they fall in love.Isabel is surprised to find that her estranged husband has also been invited to the house party. He is willing to compromise with her and offer her an adequate income ... if she will supply him with an heir. As he seduces his wife, she begins to fall in love with him. But her mistaken perceptions about his possible mistresses keep her from trusting him. All three are surprised to find that their father is on the verge of offering for the nineteen-year-old daughter of a neighbor. Lucien is trying to think of any way to stop this marriage because he doesn't want to subject anyone to his father and ends up falling in love with the girl himself. All of these romances are being played out at a house party and involve lots of clandestine meetings, unsuitable suitors, grasping debutantes, and gossiping society ladies. While the eventual resolution of the romances was never in doubt, it was fun to read about each couple's journey. Leigh Michaels makes each of the characters, with the possible exception of the the protagonists' father, likable and well-rounded people.
