About this listen

In this delightfully witty Victorian romance, a governess spy running away from her past falls for an ex-soldier turned railroad magnate—perfect for fans of Manda Collins and Bridgerton!

The utterly charming Emily Leverton has a dark past and is determined to leave it behind in her respectable new role as a governess. But when she is recruited by a secret network of governesses who spy on the ton, it may just be a way to redeem the dark secrets of her past.

An ex-solider turned railroad magnate, Zach hunts killers for the Metropolitan Police by day and dutifully attends balls at night. In neither world has he met a woman with the brazenness to mock him. So when a saucy governess blows him a kiss he is determined to catch her, never expecting that when he does he will find an intelligent, quirky woman hiding more than her true name.

As Zach peels back the layers of Emily’s lies, he falls for the street-wise woman who handles a dagger like a pro and kisses like a mistress. But when his affair with Emily intertwines with his hunt for a killer, he discovers Emily is hiding an explosive secret—one that could destroy them both.

Tough Smart Heroine and Great Hero

This was an amazing first outing and I can’t wait for the next one. Would like to have had a bit more description about the what the characters looked like. Fun plot and great characters. I hope Lovis writes tons of historical mystery/romance novels and this is a great set up for a long series — ONE CRITICISM — please try to stay away from clearly 20/21st century phrasing. I’m not usually a stickler for language in historical romances (I see other reviewers complain about historical inaccuracies a lot). I don’t expect to be reading perfect historically accurate romance novels, but some of the phrases were so obviously modern that it was jarring — it took me out of the moment and spoiled the reverie that results as one swoons through a great historical romance novel. Examples: “Ouch. That was cold.” When describing someone being nasty — why couldn’t you say, for example, “Goodness. That was rude.” ? Another one was when the heroine tells the readers a couple of times “I have impulse control issues” — why couldn’t you just say “I have trouble controlling my impulses.”? Then there was the discover that someone was not the bad guy — “Raoul was not their guy” — you could have said it in many ways that would not be in so jarringly a modern idiom. Last example, that, for me, spoiled a very exciting denouement when the heroine says, as she is explaining to the bad guy what drew the hero to our heroine and she says it is because “I’m a violent street bitch” — I kid you not!!! LL — if you can get rid of these much too modern phrases you will be inarguably one of the brightest new lights in historical romance.

Good story that keeps you listening. Most mystery readers will know "who done it" immediately but still a good story and fun little ride till the end.
