About this listen

Against the glamorous backdrop of Victorian high society, Liz Carlyle paints a dramatic tale of dangerous desire, the first in her sizzling new trilogy.

All Grace Gauthier ever wanted was the security of a good marriage, family, and home. Instead, despised by her aristocratic father's family because of her mother's foreign birth, she's taken a safe position as a governess. Now, unprotected and alone in London, accused of the shocking murder of her employer, she has no one to turn to except the mysterious - and possibly dangerous - Lord Ruthveyn.

A dark-eyed Lucifer, Ruthveyn guards his secrets carefully. His shadowed past is a source of pain and rumors - only whispered. Grace's plight - which echoes his own - moves him, as does her quiet beauty. Ruthveyn is determined to save Grace by unmasking a killer. But his growing passion places his own heart at risk....

Critic reviews

“With its exceptionally rich characterization, an engaging plot that gracefully pairs danger and desire, and an intriguing touch of the paranormal, Carlyle’s latest stylishly written, lusciously sensual Regency historical romance is supremely satisfying.” ( Booklist)

great story

I love Liz Carlyle books I wish all of them were on audio.
This recording was unfortunately cast. I'm sure Nicola has other books appropriate to her voice and styling. This performance made me cringe and stop listening occasionally; too light, sweet and upbeat with serious men.

3.5 stars

I did enjoy this story, it was interesting. There was a murder mystery story line and plot to go with the romance story. I liked the hero and the heroine a lot. I really liked the secondary character of Anisha, the hero's sister. There was plenty of dialogue. Some good chemistry and sex scenes, not a rated G book.

I am still debating moving on to the next book in the series. As I liked this story it didn't grab my impulse to immediately buy the next book. Still thinking on it...

As for the narrator she did a very good job. Everyone had their own distinct voice and she did the men pretty good.

Boring What Happened

I was so disappointed in this book I could not get through it, yet Liz Carlyle is one of my favorite authors and I was looking forward to this new series. This book is so far from her normal genre with a drawn out plot and shallow characters.
