About this audiobook
Lady Catherine “Cat” Sinclair will do whatever necessary to save her family from financial ruin—including marrying the ton’s most eligible bachelor for money. Lacking the skills to seduce the rich lord, Cat seeks out a legendary rake to school her in the art of desire. But when she finally tracks down Thomas Montrose—now retired—she dismisses him as “over the hill.”
Once a rake of mythic notoriety, Thomas is happy to forget his dissolute past and tend his country estate, until, that is, his peace is disrupted by a charming and infuriatingly dismissive miss. While he may no longer seduce women, he has certainly not forgotten how to make them surrender to his charms…and he’s only too happy to prove Cat wrong. So the master seducer promises to teach her his scandalous secrets.
But Thomas never dreams his beautiful student could send him to the edge of temptation…or that witnessing her dazzle every lord who crosses her path would make him insanely jealous. Now he must act quickly—and overcome the secrets of his past—before he loses forever the woman to whom he’s already lost his heart.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lady Cat Sinclair comes to famous reformed rake Thomas Montrose for lessons on how to seduce the man she wants to marry her. Her family needs her to make a wealthy marriage, and she thinks Thomas can make the difference. You can see where this is going, right?I'm somewhat hit or miss with Ms. Brockway's books, and this one was a miss for me. The setup was too unrealistic - actually, the whole plot was kind of silly. I'm sure others will enjoy it, just not for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Overall, I liked the book. It got off to a good start and I instantly liked the hero, Thomas (heroine was a bit tetchy though.) He has an ignominious past as something akin to being the king of rakes in his "youth", (he's now a doddering old man in his 30's with graying hair.) Our heroine has the crazy notion to go to him for lessons on how to be seductive so she can catch a rich husband to bolster up her impoverished family. Of course she's beautiful and feisty and he falls for her immediately, but there's just all this other stuff going on all over the place and I found it exasperating at times for the hero and heroine were so dense about just saying what they really thought. Instead they were always playing games with each other. Then there is the inevitable "big misunderstanding" and then time goes by and we have an escape from Paris upon Napoleon's return from Elba! At times I thought this book had everything in it but the kitchen sink! Some loose ends and dangling characters as well, which I suspect we see more of in subsequent books. Still, parts were funny and entertaining, but needed a strong hand in concentrating more on the couple and less on the surrounding events around them.
