Story
Charles ll leads an army south to reclaim his throne, but the dream ends in a crushing defeat at Worcester. With little more than the clothes on their backs, Ashley Peverell and Francis Langley manage to reach Paris, where Ashley resumes his under-cover, unpaid work for the King. Beautiful, stubborn, and street-wise Athenais de Galzain has risen from the slums of Paris to become the Marais Theatre's leading actress. From first chance, Ashley and Athenais are drawn together with the unstoppable force of two stars colliding; a force which Ashley must conceal.

I liked the concept...magic and science...however, I did not like the ending...too much unresolved considering the 24 hours invested in listening, ...unless there is a sequel...? Characters reminded me of Twilight series cast - grownup....

Story
After an adventurous season spent excavating at Dahshoor, and narrowly averting the clutches of the Master Criminal, Victorian Egyptologist Amelia Peabody Emerson and her spouse prepare for a quiet summer in England. The social and domestic routine, though interrupted by the precocious escapades of their only child, Ramses, hardly seems much of a challenge for the indomitable Emersons.

Nothing else to say--Elizabeth Peters is great and the narrator's English accent is perfect--has Peabody down to a T.
