About this audiobook
HE'S A WILD ROGUE WITH A GUARDED HEART.
Notorious rogue Lawrence Russell has no desire to marry-or heaven forbid, fall in love. Although he enjoys his fair share of pleasure, Lawrence prefers to protect his heart. Yet, when he comes to the rescue of a brave and passionate Persian princess, he discovers his heart may be at risk from the very thing he's always feared . . .
SHE'S A PRINCESS WITH A DANGEROUS SECRET.
Zehra Darzi's life has been turned on its head. When she flees her home after her parents' brutal murder, she is kidnapped and transported to England. There, she awaits her doom-being auctioned off for a brothel. But fate intervenes in the form of a heroic man, who purchases her freedom. As Zehra adjusts to life in England, she can't help but fall for her rescuer, Lawrence. But when an enemy from her past resurfaces in London, she knows it's only a matter of time before her darkest secret is brought to light.
And this secret just might cost Lawrence his life . . .

I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) a contemporary romance by Lauren Smith a while back, so I shouldn't be surprised that I enjoyed this as well! It might be #6 in the series, but it read fine without having read the previous five first - but I liked it so much that I definitely will go back and read the rest of the series! Not gonna lie, I'm still salty at Scribd (unlimited my @$$) but I'm sorta happy they "forced" to try His Wicked Embrace!1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved every second of this too. I think this should be listened to before Ashton's story, after Cedric's as it happens more or less at the same time as Cedric's story.
The narrator was good. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A thoroughly enjoyable novella from Lauren Smith! I am not a big novella fan because I want a well-developed romance, but this one was excellent. It was a believable relationship and I loved both the hero and the heroine. I love that he was ginger! (The cover picture is awesome!) Very nicely written story.
Zahra Darzi is the daughter of a Persian Shah and an English noblewoman. Her home was filled with laughter and love. Her parents doted on her and she loved her Persian homeland. Then, her parents were betrayed by someone they considered a friend. Al Zahrani had betrayed her parents to another Shah who wanted to take over her father’s lands and riches and he would get Zehra as his concubine as a reward. While her parents perished, she managed to escape from Al Zahrani only to be captured by slavers and shipped thousands of miles away from her homeland – to England.
Lawrence Russell is the brother of Lucien Russell, Marquess of Rochester who is the hero of HIS WICKED SEDUCTION (Book 2). Lawrence is helping his younger brother Avery on the night they are to have a slave auction at the White House brothel in Soho. It is his job to enter the establishment and take note of everyone who is participating in the auction while waiting for Avery and his men to enter before the auction starts. The auction starts and Avery and his men aren’t there – what is Russell supposed to do. The most beautiful and exotic creature he has ever seen is up on the auction block and some of the vilest creatures in London are bidding on her and promising her all of the things they plan to do to her.
In the end she gained more having her mother's family and a husband who loved him as much. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great plot and well written! Ending was kinda so so though
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book. It made me feel so good inside. I kept wondering when she would tell someone about her English family. That bugged me so much that I heaved a big sigh of relief when she did. That is how engaging I found the story of the Persian Princess and her English love.
Beautiful story. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5this was just meh. The beginning was good but the end was too rushed.
