Summary
A spinster hatches a plan (with a smattering of blackmail)
Miss Augusta Widmore has no time for proprieties. She must force her sister's ne'er-do-well betrothed to the altar with all haste - or watch her sister bear the scandalous consequences. But with the blackguard resisting his duty, she needs leverage. And only one man can provide it.
A giant holds all the cards (or so he thinks)
Sebastian Reaver has no time for presumptuous women. He has a club to run. So, when a perfect nuisance invades his office, demands a fortune in markers, and refuses to leave until he relinquishes them to her, he knows just the thing to send her scurrying back to Hampshire: Exact a price this prim country spinster would never agree to pay. A fiery battle begins (with both sides playing for keeps)
Ordinarily, Augusta would never agree to become the mistress of a notorious club owner - whether he's a lowborn ruffian or the wealthiest man in London or the most intriguing, ill-tempered giant she's ever encountered...or all three. Calling his bluff raises the stakes (and the heat), but retreat will mean ruin for Augusta. Now, Sebastian wants her total surrender, and he has a few tricks up his sleeve - soul-stealing kisses, unexpected honor, and electrifying persuasion for the woman he never saw coming.
Contains mature themes.

Entertaining
I enjoyed this book. An entertaining storyline that rolls along nicely. The love scenes are some of the best erotic reading that I have heard- they keep just on the right side of the border between "steamy" and porn. Thank you
However Mary Jane's narration, while nicely matching this light-hearted romp, does, as other reviewers have pointed out, have a major problem with her pronunciation of words (particularly 4 letter words) with an 'a' in them. "Back" becomes "bark" and, most amusingly, "fact" becomes "fart"! A great pity as her range of characterisations is good and the accent of those characters from the Scottish border region is really good. Perhaps Audible could arrange to have her narrations "copy-listened-to" by someone from England.

The best of the series.
The narrator's style of reading actually suits these characters. As she has only one style and two voice types, it becomes boring, when it doesn't suit the content.
The hero and heroine work together and a sense of humour runs through the story.
The secondary characters are enjoyable and make this a well rounded story.
Also unlike the other books, it is not inundated with unrelated sexual content. I didn't spend the time fast forwarding.

Ruined by the narration
This is one of my favourites from the series but the narrator’s strange way of pronouncing as and overall vocal style spoiled it for me. It sounded like melodrama and the heroine sounded weak and she was anything but.

Dreadful narrator
Another book ruined by the narrator’s idea of an upper class English accent. She insisted on putting an ‘r’ after every ‘a’ making nonsense of too many phrases, so fact is farct, back is bark, cat is cart - you get the idea! She tries regional accents for the ‘lower classes’ but they’re weak to non-existent. The problem with English is that pronunciations don’t follow rules and place names are a nightmare. Please, American narrators, I would rather hear your own native accent than badly pronounced English. Also listen to Barbara Rosenblat & Rosalyn Landor - both Americans - for the best ‘posh’ english accents.
