The Vicar and the Rake

Written by Annabelle Greene

Narrated by Cornell Collins

As a young man, Sir Gabriel Winters left behind his status as a gentleman, turning his back on his secret desires and taking a self-imposed vow of celibacy. Now he's a chaste, hardworking vicar, and his reputation is beyond reproach. But, try as he might, he's never forgotten the man he once desired or the pain of being abandoned by his first love.

Edward Stanhope, the Duke of Caddonfell, is a notorious rake, delighting in scandal no matter the consequence. With a price on his head, he flees to the countryside, forced to keep his presence a secret or risk assassination. When Edward finds Gabriel on his estate, burning with fever, he cannot leave him to die, but taking him in puts them both in jeopardy.

With the help of a notorious blackmailer, a society of rich and famous gentlemen who prefer gentlemen, and a kitten named Buttons, they might just manage to save Edward's life-but the greatest threat may be to their hearts.

Contains mature themes.

*****CONTAINS SPOILERISH STUFF***


Did not finish.

Okay, this narrator. LOL!! I like him, he gives a good performance, but sometimes, he goes a bit over the top and I burst out laughing.

But that's better than being bored! ?

He narrates a series by KJ Charles that I think is a better read in general.

This is a smexy one, with a bit of plot.

Liked the sister character.

Didn't like that we are told about Gabriel's pact, made with God, but then there is NO regret or worry when he breaks that pact. Gabriel tells us he is a man of God, but hey, God won't mind if I break a lifetime pact. Let's sex!

But for the religious, one of those pacts would be serious. Sure, we break them, but there's guilt and angst and worry and negotiating. Just sayin.
