About this listen
From the backstreets of London to grand country estates, theirs is a journey of self-discovery, a breathtaking story of love and redemption.
Nothing is simple when it comes to seduction.
Daniel Thorpe has made a point of avoiding Daphne Chambers ever since she refused his proposal of marriage. But three years have passed, and as experienced enquiry agents solving crimes against the aristocracy, their paths were destined to cross.
Chasing criminals is no job for a lady. But the woman is too stubborn to take his advice. Is it any wonder she finds herself the victim of a silent stalker, one happy to hide and wait in the shadows?
Daniel was surprised when she accepted his offer of help, more surprised to find that one passionate kiss in a carriage brings all the old feelings flooding back.
Features:
- Regency romance with an emphasis on mystery.
- Contains descriptive sex scenes.

As the daughter of a famed courtesan, Julianna de Lacy had seen more than her share of heartbreak. As a child, her own heart was broken the night her mother dragged her from the Marquess Devereaux’s mansion and forced her into a stranger’s carriage. It was not the fear of meeting her mother’s new lover that had Julianna sobbing, but the fact she was leaving Bennet Devereaux - the marquess’ young son and Julianna’s only friend. Their parting words became a mantra she recited every night before bed.

THIS REVIEW IS A GENEROUS 3 STAR
- By Edwina "I Love books" on 12-01-18
By: Christy Carlyle
I really enjoyed this one, it had a great mix of action and romance. Daniel and Daphne were introduced in The Secret To Your Surrender, which I haven't read yet, and I didn't have to read the previous book to understand their backstory. It was a steamy read with a few descriptive scenes.
I liked both main characters, they had great chemistry and a fun way of bantering with each other. For two crack detectives, they're pretty blind when it comes to detecting each other's feelings! Their jobs took them to some interesting places I hadn't seen explored in other historical novels. The twists and turns in the story definitely kept me hooked!
Liisa Ivary did a great job with the narration, I've listened to her before and she's wonderful with the accents and voices for each character. She read with intensity in the dramatic parts and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. I always enjoy this author's books, and I can't wait for the next one!
Great Mix of Action and Romance!

Adele Clee has written a very clever murder-mystery into this historical romance and it kept me guessing and enjoying the adventure. I am happy to recommend either the ebook or audiobook versions.
Liisa Ivary's narration of the audiobook was mostly good but from time to time I found her a bit overdramatic, but nevertheless acceptable.
I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook and this is my voluntary and unbiased review of it.
Daniel and Daphne's story has seduced me

Listener received this title free
It's a recency romance with a feisty female trying to stand up in the world after being widowed and earn an income in a society that doesn't understand women working outside accepted roles, chasing criminals. And of course the man who has loved her deeply from afar for years and she doesn't know it, while he obsesses with her safety.
Contains some sex scenes ... might not want to have this on when others can walk in and ask, what exactly are you listening to? Timing is everything.
Whilst it is part of a series, if you haven't listened to the previous ones, you can still listen to this and enjoy the story
Narrator made it sound scandalous
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrator, really is not my style. All the time she sounds breathless and over dramatic. She does an ok job keeping the male and female voices somewhat different. But ugh she is irritating to listen to. Unfortunately she is the narrator for most of Adele’s books making the books a bit cringe worthy.
Narrator can break a nice book - case in point
