My Review
Gentlemen Prefer Heiresses is the novella in the "Scandalous Gentlemen of St James" and yes there are still some Lorraine Heath that I have yet to read. And this was one of them. But this was such a wonderful audiobook. I highly recommend it in audio. The audio narration was truly delightful as long as I didn't have it too fast. I am not sure I have listened to this narrator much but definitely going to listen to more of her as I didn't struggle with the accent being used. (I am very picky about this as I don't care for them too heavy)
This story was beyond endearing. I loved this dynamic. The heroine was adorable. She was reserved in some ways but also daring and thrilling in other respects. The hero is a rake but also is attracted to her but doesn't want to be lol There is a bit of a taboo in some ways as he is a rake, and his brother is married to her sister so its not encouraged for them to be together. We see some effects of a scandal that erupts here and the heroine has to make a choice on what truly matters for her and fighting for the man she actually loves. I loved her courage and her willingness to fight for what matters here. Definitely encouraging in many regards.
Overall I found this novella to be a true delight and a great diversion from reality. Highly recommend for Lorraine Heath or Victorian Era historical romance lovers.
