I've given this a B+ at AAR, so that's 4.5 stars in my book!
We first met Sir Richard Harmsworth, sophisticated, charming and devastatingly handsome man-about-town, in the previous novel in this series, Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed. Like his friend Jonas Merrick, the hero of that story, Richard is similarly tainted by the slur of bastardy; although in Richard’s case, he is legally entitled to his baronetcy as his mother was married to Sir Lester Harmsworth at the time of Richard’s birth, and Sir ...more

Review from 2014
I had a hard time rating this as an audiobook. I really liked the print edition and gave it 4.5 stars (B+), but as an audio, it only rates 3.5 stars (B-).
I read and enjoyed A Rake’s Midnight Kiss early in 2013 and was very much looking forward to revisiting it in audio format. I’d already listened to the previous book in the series (Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed) and will admit to having reservations about Mr. Ferguson’s narration, principally due to one particular vocal tick tha ...more

This is book two in the 'Sons of Sin' series by Anna Campbell. I must say when you see Ms. Campbell name on a book you know right of the bat you will enjoy that book. Ms. Campbell knows how to draw you in and keep you there.

This was so different from what I have come to expect from this author that I sometimes felt as if I needed to double check that I was reading an Anna Campbell book. It is both a quieter book and a more lighthearted one than the typical Campbell, but character is always the determining factor for me--and I loved these characters. The scholarly heroine is one of my favorite tropes, and I found Genevieve immensely appealing from the beginning. It took me longer to warm up to Richard, but he ended

This turned out to be a delightful, emotional story. Sir Richard Harmsworth is continuing his pursuit of a jewel that is magically considered to prove his legitimacy to his title. His mother conceived and bore him while her husband was on a diplomatic mission out of the country. He has carried the scandal his whole life. Her husband claimed him as his heir but that did not alleviate the scorn of society.
His search has led him to a vicarage and the vicar's daughter who inherited the jewel from hi ...more

Branded a bastard all his life, being mocked and snickered at, being looked down upon because of something that was not his fault has haunted Sir Richard Harmsworth to the point where he has had enough to putting on a façade to show society that he doesn't care what the world thought of him. But in reality; he cared quite a lot about it. He seeks to obtain the Harmsworth Jewel which by legend, confirmed that he is rightful heir of Harmsworth legacy despite his birth. Only; it is in the possessio

Loved Richard. I tried, but could not like Genevieve. She spent the first part of the book begging him to leave and then begging him to kiss her, over and over. She was stubborn and contrary so much of the book, even in the last chapter. And she did too many stupid things to be believable as a clever person, let alone a respected scholar.
