The Scoundrel and the Lady Audio CD – Unabridged, September 20, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Merritt Steel, the Earl of Ashby, cannot help but be amused by the slip of a woman who comes calling. Unwilling to let such a delightful potential conquest go, he proposes a wager: bring him anyone off the street and he can pass them off as a gentleman. It's a bargain she readily accepts--but with a twist.
Their bargain proves to be a greater challenge than either anticipated. Merritt finds it near impossible to keep his hands off Iris, and she begins to see the undeniable appeal of ungentlemanly behavior . . .
Contains mature themes.

About the author
![Robyn DeHart](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/S/amzn-author-media-prod/s0vtrs4pfev6enub5392f5pb41._SY600_.jpg)
A life-long lover of stories and adventure, it was either become a stuntwoman for the movies or live out those adventures from the safety of her PJ’s and computer. Award-winning author, Robyn DeHart chose the latter and couldn’t be happier for doing so. Known for her unique plotlines and authentic characters, Robyn is a favorite among readers and reviewers. Publishers' Weekly claims her writing to be "comical and sexy" while the Chicago Tribune dubs her "wonderfully entertaining." Robyn is an award-winning author as well as being a four-time RT Bookclub Reviewers' Choice award nominee, and a three-time RomCon Reader’s Crown nominee.
Look for Robyn’s new series about the seven deadly sins coming in 2017. When not writing, you can find Robyn hanging out with her family, husband (The Professor) a university professor of Political Science and their two ridiculously beautiful and smart daughters. They live in the hill country of Texas where it's hot eight months of the year, but those big blue skies make it worth it.
You can find Robyn online in a variety of places.

Being a woman in good standing Iris assumed Merritt would see the light and stop his ridiculous articles about how men should behave but Merritt views life from a different angle so what it takes to stop him is nothing short of a confrontation. Both Iris and Merritt want something the other can provide and the bet that comes from this meeting of great minds is, to say the least scattered like dried up leaves. Iris will prepare Merritt’s sister for polite society while Merritt will teach Iris to be a man about town. Neither likes the venture but both know they will not back down. But what a surprise for Merritt when a certain skill set of Iris’s presents itself, and just like that another adventure is started on Merritt’s part to discover why is it that Iris is so good with self-defense. No mere maiden is she, no Iris is very accurate with her ability to draw down an aggressor and Merritt must know why.
Yet what Merritt discovers turns out to be more hurtful than helpful in their relationship which both deny they are having. Iris wants privacy and the right to live her life as a respected, independent woman while Merritt by his own profession is destined to destroy that with the wisp of an ill written word. Even though his innuendos are veiled and his source anonymous the hurt brought down upon Iris is unforgiveable on his part and trying to make amends may not happen and then what does he does with the love he has accumulated for her and the uncontrolled desire to not live without her existence in his life.
Great writers develop characters with charisma, storylines that keep readers entranced until the end, a few twists around a turn, and always with romance a love that you can feel to your toes. Robyn DeHart does all of this and adds one more element that takes her writing to the expert level, a deep seeded love for the written word. Ms. DeHart understands the depth of her ability and ensures her readers know that she is writing every word she puts in every sentence on every page with love and conviction.
She lets the H kiss her and every time she allows him to do more, it seemed out of character to me. She wasn't worried about her reputation and that seemed out of character too. I gave it 4 stars because of the unique story line that I did enjoy. My heart did ache for the h on how her brother treated her.
There are some twists and surprises. One surprise isn't divulged and I suppose that will be dealt with in the next book. This had no baring on our H/h so no cliffhanger there.
We have one very mild lovemaking, not very passionate nor descriptive. Romance wasn't really part of this story, just two people who made a bet and working to their own ends to win the bet.. We do get HEA and an epilogue 6 months in the future that I enjoyed. All wrapped up nicely, except for the one part I mentioned before. Again, not a cliffhanger but you are left wondering who the mysterious person is. (ljb)
I did not like her brother at all he treated her badly.I also did not buy her and Merritt together just did not feel the connecting between them.It was an interesting read but i did not love it.
