    About this audiobook

    A fallen woman. A most wicked plan for redemption.Venice, 1740.Desperate,
    starving, Kathleen Strong makes her way to a job interview that
    promises a chance at proper employment...and maybe a bite to eat.
    Accused of "gross immorality," she's adrift after being dismissed from
    her governess position, despite being entirely innocent. That
    innocence is precisely what a mysterious group of debauched aristocrats
    finds so alluring about Miss Strong. When they propose a scandalous
    offer that she can't refuse...she can't refuse. But if the darkly
    gallant Alistair Rohan, a gentleman involved in all manner of wicked
    deeds himself, has anything to say about it, Kathleen can escape her
    disrepute in another way. Of course, the escape route looks very similar to the group's illicit proposition itself...

      As a teaser it's good. I will probably read the first book in the series (at least). Some things are inconsistent though: one moment a person has blue eyes, and the next those eyes are golden. Make up your mind.

      Kathleen Strong is desperate and starving in Venice, Italy 1740. She doesn't have many options in seeking employment. Kathleen's previous employer dismissed her for immoral acts, a charge she of which she is entirely innocent. She arrives for her interview with her potential employer and finds herself confronted by a gallery of rogues, namely the Heavenly Host. Alistair Rohan leads this group of debauched aristocrats bent of despoiling a virgin for sport and entertainment.The short novella is a prequel to a popular series by Anne Stuart centered on the Heavenly Host. Taken on its own Wicked House of Rohan is much too brief and the action pace is too fast. We barely learn of a prior connection between Rohan and Kathleen, a relationship that Rohan is unaware of at the outset.The scenes between the Heavenly Host and their prize virgin are interesting, but the brevity of the book spoils the makings of a very good story. This one deserves 2 stars. Stuart is a good writer and I've read her novels before with relish. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with Wicked House of Rohan because it felt like the author was in a hurry to finish the story.

      piece of fluff that I am unlikely to read again. Though I did really like the beginning, Stuart does a great damsel in distress, and the governess with the backbone of steel who knows she has no recourse was a good character. But the lover was not engaging and his total change of character half way through the (very short!) piece was not believable. this was a freebee and it should be. I like Stuart and know her writing but I didn't want to meet any of the other characters here. Boredom is no reason for cruelty.

      Just a little snippet really, but there IS resolution, and it was decent.
