About this listen
London, 1812. After fleeing the clutches of her vile brother-in-law, Rose Evans finds refuge in the home of her dear friend, Lord Ashton Sennett. They come to an agreement, a marriage of friendly convenience. Since another holds claim to Ashton's heart and body, he seeks to see that Rose experiences all life has to offer. And so to Lord Darington he makes a most scandalous request.
Burke Darington, Third Earl of Blackwood and an austere, solitary man, can scarce believe his ears. Apparently, his whispered reputation has earned him an outrageous solicitation - Lord Sennett wants him to seduce his wife. Though Burke finds Rose fascinating, sweet, intelligent, and with a unique bent toward independence, she is also innocent. She deserves better than to be fouled by a tainted man.
A seduction, a shooting, and an unexpected matter of the heart throw two wounded souls into a sensational scandal.

Love and murder - what more could you wish for?:)
This is the kind of romance that has everything - a damsel in distress, a dashing knight in (not so) white armour, a villain or two (or three) with hearts as black as coal...:) There is romantic fascination at first sight, misunderstandings that are heart-breaking, and love that conquers all; there are social rules whose breaking means ostracism for the culprits; and there's murder which must be solved if we are to have a happily ever after... And all this presented to you in a tale that is fast-paced, surprising and truly emotional, with characters you immediately fall in love/hate with and who feel real and solid.
The book comes wonderfully to life in this perfect interpretation by Ms Melanie Fraser. She's a narrator you will definitely come back to; she does voices so well that you can truly visualise particular characters and her acting skills convey brilliantly all the emotional turmoils they go through.

A Scandalous Request
This book is just a great listen! I love historical romances I think partially because they usually have a bit of action/adventure in them to go with the love story. And this book did not let me down. Rose has not had an easy life like her sister likes to suggest. She lost her parents when she was 12 and was raised by a resentful sister. Unlike her sister who was already grown and married. Luckily for her a friend helps her get away from a bad situation. But their marriage is a cover. And he truly wants her to be happy. He requests a friend help them out. Only no one counts on Burke falling for her or her for him. The 4 some seem to have everything until it all falls apart. Melanie Fraser does a fantastic job bringing this story to life. I love listening to her accent!

Great blend of romance, mystery and history.......
A Scandalous Request is an entertaining blend of romance, mystery and history. The story takes place in Victorian England, and the author captures well the social mores of this time period. Rose is a 20 year-old woman living at the mercy of her sister and lecherous brother-in-law. Rose escapes the misery of her life by entering a marriage of convenience with her best friend, Ashton, enabling him to continue living in secret with his male lover. The relationship between these three was one of my favorite parts of the book as the men treat Rose as an adored sister and cherished friend.
Along these lines, Ashton feels guilty that Rose will never experience a full married life, and he asks his friend Burke, a highly promiscuous Earl, to seduce his wife. What follows is a slow-burn seduction of Rose by Burke but also, less obviously but even more powerfully, a seduction of Burke by Rose. He is captivated by Rose's intelligence, kindness, and beauty as well as her inner core of strength. For a man accustomed to bedding a woman and leaving without further thought, Rose intrigues Burke without even trying to do so. The author throws in a murder, several attempts on Rose's life, and plenty of push/pull between Rose and Burke, making this a fun blend of suspense and steam.
Melanie Fraser's narration is superb. She has a beautiful English accent, and her portrayal of Rose is perfect for her ingenue personality. Although I loved how Fraser handles Rose, I think she does an equally skillful job with all the characters in the story. I would absolutely listen to another performance by Fraser in the future.
I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Scandalous!
A Scandalous Request by Micki Miller is an original story. I loved the imagery the author wrote in this book. Most of the characters were endearing, except for a certain few. The Amber Pigs were a nice addition too. I found the mystery and romance to be very enjoyable in this book. Melanie Fraser brought the characters to life with her performance. She has such an authentic Regency sounding voice. I had not expected the twist in this book, and I fully enjoyed it. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Great Historical Romance
This was my first Micki Miller's story. This is a great and fun Historical Romance. The storyline is well written, and intriguing. Rose and Burke are great characters, and the secondary characters are also interesting. Melanie Fraser did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Wonderful Narration
I’m not a big reader/listener of MF Historical Romance, but I thought this sounded interesting and wanted to give it a try.
I’m so glad I did. It was a wonderful story with great characters. I enjoyed the drama, mystery and the oh so scandalous offer to seduce another man's wife.
I only wish the ending had a bit more to it. I felt it to be a bit rushed. But the story overall was paced nicely and told beautifully.
Melanie Fraser did an amazing job. I loved that she switched up the voices for the characters.
I will be reading more from this author and will also be listening to more audios by this narrator.

Unusual Period Romance
This is an interesting audiobook, that is somewhat different from the usual period romance. Part mystery and part romance, it covers themes of romance, adultery, sexual abuse, homosexuality and social status. This story’s premise was unique and interesting but also still stayed true to the period it was set in. The mystery keeps you guessing until the end and the romances ups and downs are entertaining. The narration was well done, giving a different voice for each character and really bringing life to the story.

Loved it!
I really liked this historical romance. It is well written and the narration is terrific!
I like the way the author alludes to a gay relationship as a loving relationship.
The romantic scenes are simple and not very detailed.
I was surprised to find out who did it!
I would definitely read more books by this author.
I was given this review copy and this is my honest review.

Rough Start for Me, but Glad I Saw it Through
When I first started this book, I was not sure if I was going to be able to stick with it. I was getting confused here and there in the plot. However, I had very strong emotions towards the characters early on. I loathed some (especially that brother in law) and enjoyed some. Plus, the narration was fantastic. So I stuck with it.
Once I found the plot got moving and I figured out a little more of the story I could not stop listening. I love Regency style pieces, but this story was different from many I have read. I loved the murder and mystery in this book. Of course there was also some romance. A lot of times I enjoy the mystery but fall in love with a story for the romance. Again, this audiobook was different in the fact I preferred and stayed for the mystery but did not mind the romance.
Melanie Fraser did a fantastic job with the voices. You could visualize the characters so well and her voice brought them to life. I would try a book just on the fact she was narrating it.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
