About this listen

Two friends reunite—and discover hidden feelings—while investigating a murder in this sensual, witty historical romance perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore and Netflix's Bridgerton!

Jane Halliwell once dreamed of a home of her own—but those dreams (and her dowry) died with her father. Now, she works as a governess, preparing her charge for a future no longer within her reach. When her employer is murdered during a house party, however, Jane is forced back into the world of the ton. But stepping in as hostess will require working with the same lord who once broke her girlish heart.

Lord Adrian Fielding was too consumed with his job at the Foreign Office to pay young Jane much heed, but he always considered her a friend. Which is why he’s confounded by her icy demeanor now. More troubling still is his desire to melt the tensions between them. But his mentor’s murder means he must first find the culprit—and ensure Jane’s safety as she manages a house full of foreign dignitaries.

Only Jane insists on joining the investigation, and Adrian, despite all his diplomatic skills, finds himself seduced by her sharp wit and sparkling eyes. But with a vicious killer circling ever closer, will it soon be too late for their chance at forever?

Great characters.
Fabulous narrator.
Just a joy to listen to.

The fly in the ointment: the villain was a bit too predictable.

The seamless integration of the previous book that introduced Jane’s character and this one . That leads me to wonder if there will be be another in this series with the introduction of a new character Will Gilford, just a thought. I enjoy the unveiling of the mystery of why Jane’s father died. And of course the interwoven romance between her and Lord Adrian. Mary Jane Wells’ narration was and is always excellent.

Love the narration and the story. This is a great addition to the series and I finished it too quickly. The story never lags and holds my attention. I love the mix of mystery and romance.

Another great story

Manda Collins usual uproarious stories have been replaced by this middling, predictable fare. It’s fine, but not special.
The recording has an unfortunate range in sound that makes it difficult to hear all the words- too much whispering. Otherwise a good reading.

Not her usual fare
