About this listen

With his older brother's betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed of all familial expectations. But the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother and his fiancée have been assisting with and volunteers to help by hunting down a hoard of gunpowder now stashed somewhere in London.

Michael's quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where his sole source of information is the fetchingly attractive Miss Cleome Hendon. When Michael asks about the carters who transported the gunpowder, Cleo offers him a bargain: she will lead him to the carters he seeks, but only if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission.

But their investigation proves dangerous, and the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. Soon Michael and Cleo find themselves tangled in a fight for their lives - one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all: a shared life, a shared future, a shared love.

Not My Cup of Tea

This performance by Matthew Brenher was not my cup of tea. While he has a wonderful speaking voice, the reading was rather boring and yet imperious. I appreciate that he had a British accent, but there was not enough difference in tone to keep me interested - and I've read the book before! I stopped this one after only a little while.

DISAPPOINTED!

This was disappointing. instead of having one really good book it was split into three. This book was like the slow detailed middle of a book. One mediocre danger scene and an equally mediocre love scene. This is not what I've come to expect from this author.

Best prepare for a cliffhanger

This book is a book that can be read alone without reading the others in the series, but if you do be forwarned that this book ends in a cliffhanger. I throughly enjoyed this audiobook and believe that I would like the rest of the books in the series. Matthew Brenher has a nice English accent that may lighten your day or make your heart beat a little faster. This book is well written and will make your pulse race with the suspense, action and the steamy scenes. I have to rate this book at a 4.75 out of 5 stars, the only reason that I can't give it a 5 out of 5 stars because it's a cliffhanger. The pepper rating is between a Jalapeno Pepper and Manzano Pepper, there are some spicy scenes in this book but a lot of building tension. 

If you like mysteries, independant women characters, as well as protective men then this is the book for you. I didn't know that this story was one in a series when I listened to it, if I had know I would have like to read the other books in the series first, I am sure it would give us more backstory on what is happening in An Irresistible Alliance. I recommend this book but be prepared to be wishing for the next book in the series which is The Greatest Challenge of Them All.


I hope this helps you find your next Tantalizing Tome!

Good Mystery

I liked that the bulk of this book focused on the story rather than on sex.
