New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Hoyt brings us the first audiobook in her sexy and sensual Greycourt Series!
Freya de Moray is many things: A member of the secret order of Wise Women, the daughter of disgraced nobility, and a chaperone living under an assumed name. What she is not is forgiving. So when the duke of Harlowe, the man who destroyed her brother and led to the downfall of her family, appears at the country house party she's attending, she does what any Wise Woman would do: She starts planning her revenge.
Christopher Renshaw, the duke of Harlowe, is being blackmailed. Intent on keeping his secrets safe, he agrees to attend a house party where he will put an end to this coercion once and for all. Until he recognizes Freya, masquerading among the party revelers, and realizes his troubles have just begun. Freya knows all about his sins—sins he'd much rather forget. But she's also fiery, bold, and sensuous—a temptation he can't resist.
When it becomes clear Freya is in grave danger, he'll risk everything to keep her safe. But first, he will have to earn Freya's trust...by whatever means necessary.

The beginning of the book was much better than the second half. An ancient society of women is helping other women escape the clutches of men and the society which the men control.
Plus, there is an unsolved murder of an innocent young woman that has ruined the lives of several families and individuals. Fascinating and heartbreaking.
Then those two elements kind of disappear except in expository dialogue. The “Crow” does make a strange appearance at a house party to tell the heroine that one of their enemies is there, but they don’t know who it is. This is a frustrating element because it is obvious who one of their enemies is, and besides, they should know. It weakens their legitimacy that they are so clueless.
Furthermore, Freya is a frustrating feminist, and this is coming from an unapologetic feminist. We all need allies. Sure, we might not need help opening a door (though that’s just courteous), but we do need help when our lives are threatened. The fact that she didn’t recognize this made her useless in her position, in my opinion.
Christopher has the patience of Job. Honestly, I wanted more of his story and that of Freya’s brother and less of Freya’s pigheadedness. Perhaps I would have enjoyed Freya more if the Wise Women society had stayed in the forefront, and if their members were actually wise.
The story of the countess next door was also fascinating but so glossed over. It instead served as a way to put Freya (unnecessarily) in harm’s way.
I listened to this on audible and will try the next book with my credits. The reading was good, but I wish the narrators would stop trying to sound like the opposite sex with stereotypical pitch changes. There has to be a more pleasing way to differentiate between male and female characters. Jim Dale managed it in the Harry Potter series.

The story line was fun and enjoyable. I liked that it wasn't full of angst and misunderstanding's like some HR books are. That was a relief. There was a lot of great dialogue throughout the entire book.
I enjoyed some of the secondary characters, especially Arabella. LOL she was always scheming some sort of plan.
As for the narration, it was fantastic. I am a big Ashford McNab fan and she always does a great job on the male voices and gives everyone their own distinct voice, She has a great reading voice too.
Good story and excellent narration!

At times I feel like feminism is our biggest enemy instead of our allied.
I will get the next book, but if it's anything like this one... well, I will be very disappointed!!
Good enough book

As always, Ashford McNab is excellent. She's my favorite single narrator, especially for historical. She is wonderful at accents and men's voices. I especially love her Scottish accent in this. #HistoricalRomanticSuspense
