Fortune Favors the Wicked

by Theresa Romain Narrated by Beverley A. Crick

Overview

As a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Benedict Frost had the respect of every man on board and the adoration of the women in every port. When injury ends his naval career, the silver-tongued libertine can hardly stomach the boredom. Not after everything-and everyone-he's experienced. Good thing a new adventure has just fallen into his lap . . .



When courtesan Charlotte Perry learns that the Royal Mint is offering a reward for finding a cache of stolen gold coins, she seizes the chance to build a new life for herself. As the treasure hunt begins, she realizes that her tenacity is matched only by Benedict's, and that sometimes adversaries can make the best allies. But when the search for treasure becomes a discovery of pleasure, they'll be forced to decide if they can sacrifice the lives they've always dreamed of for a love they've never known.

Contains mature themes.

Narrator Beverley A. Crick brings emotional depth and range to this new romance. Benedict Frost has come to Strawfield in search of coins stolen from the Royal Mint, but it turns out he’s not the only one who’s made the journey to Derbyshire in hopes of claiming the reward. Charlotte Perry is also looking for the stolen coins. What starts as an uneasy truce between Charlotte and Benedict quickly progresses to something more as true friendship, and deeper feelings, blossom. Humor, grief, and passion are all vividly expressed, while a wide range of accents highlights both the social stations and geographic origins of the characters. A satisfying story will leave listeners eager for the next installment. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
