The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
Montague Siblings: Book #1
By Mackenzi Lee
Narrated by: Christian Coulson
Length: 10 hours 47 minutes
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
“The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee was truly a pleasure to hear! A deliciously dry sense of humor pervades this tale of English landed gentry making a tour of the Continent in the 1800s. However, this is no ordinary tour and these no ordinary lords. Unrequited love among the two male protagonists, a racial twist, parental abuse, maladies with no cures and more pervade this fast paced, adventurous novel complete with highwaymen, dukes, alchemy and pirates (sort of). Impossible to stop listening and extremely entertaining!”
