Publisher's summary

Sparks fly when a daring diva clashes with an ice-cold war hero in the newest thrilling romance in USA Today best-selling author Julie Anne Long’s Palace of Rogues series.

She arrives in the dead of night, a mob out for blood at her heels: Mariana Wylde, the “Harlot of Haywood Street,” an opera diva brought low by a duel fought for her favors. But the ladies of the Grand Palace on the Thames think they can make a silk purse from scandal: They’ll restore her reputation and share in her triumph...provided they can keep her apart from that other guest.

Coldly brilliant, fiercely honorable, General James Duncan Blackmore, the Duke of Valkirk, is revered, feared, desired...but nobody truly knows him. Until a clash with a fiery, vulnerable beauty who stands for everything he scorns lays him bare. It’s too clear the only cure for consuming desire is conquest, but their only chance at happiness could lead to their destruction.

The legendary duke never dreamed love would be his last battleground. Valkirk would lay down his life for Mariana, but his choice is stark: Risk losing her forever, or do the one thing he vowed he never would...surrender.

Loved It

The narrator almost ruined this one. Luckily I persisted because this ended up being one of my faves. I actually saw why they fell for each other. In some books, you just have to trust the author when the narrative says two characters have a passion for each other. And did I say passion? Good lord!!! He said “I haven’t kissed you yet because I’d ruin you for any other man” might be the cockiest yet sexist line I’ve read in a regency novel. And love love scenes deliver! 🥵

This one is going on heavy rotation in my library.

Loved it!

I’ve loved every book in this series and this one was super fun. The banter between the duke and Mariana had me giggling out loud. And Justine Eyre is such a talented narrator.

Wonderful

This book enthralled me from the first paragraph. The characters were fully developed and delightful. I will listen to this one more than once. The tenderness of the love story is palpable and heartwarming. The HEA ending is perfect. The narrator is flawless in her performance; so much that the listener only hears the characters speaking not a reader.

Narrator put a lilt at the end of almost every sentence

The lilt was especially pronounced when she narrated Mariana’s parts. It made her sound frivolous.
