Publisher's summary
Miss Amity Doncaster, world traveler, is accustomed to adventure and risk. Benedict Stanbridge, a man of science and a spy for the Crown, has faced danger in the darker corners of foreign lands. But they are about to face a threat that is shockingly close to home . . . One does not expect to be kidnapped on a London street in broad daylight. But Amity Doncaster barely escapes with her life after she is trapped in a carriage with a blade-wielding man in a black silk mask who whispers the most vile taunts and threats into her ear.
Her quick thinking, and her secret weapon, save her … for now. But the monster known in the press as the Bridegroom, who has left a trail of female victims in his wake, has survived the wounds she inflicts and will soon be on his feet again.
He is unwholesomely obsessed by her scandalous connection to Benedict Stanbridge - gossip about their hours alone in a ship’s stateroom seems to have crossed the Atlantic faster than any sailing vessel could. Benedict refuses to let this resourceful, daring woman suffer for her romantic link to him - as tenuous as it may be.
For a man and woman so skilled at disappearing, so at home in the exotic reaches of the globe, escape is always an option. But each intends to end the Bridegroom’s reign of terror in London, and will join forces to do so. And as they prepare to confront an unbalanced criminal in the heart of the city they love, they must also face feelings that neither of them can run away from…

Story
The Earl of St. Merryn needs a woman. His intentions are purely practical - he simply wants someone sensible and suitably lovely to pose as his betrothed for a few weeks among polite society. He has his own agenda to pursue, and a false fiancée will keep the husband-hunters at bay while he goes about his business. The simplest solution is to hire a paid companion. Finding the right candidate proves more of a challenge than he expected.

Story
Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Good story
The story and the plot were great. The narration though. Some of the characters and accents were very good. While others; like Penny and Leona’s were so high & nasal, it was totally annoying. I cringed with Leona’s voice. Penny and others weren’t as bad, but not very good either.

What happened to Clarissa's story?
I enjoyed Amity's story, the book was excellent, but it wasn't a Ladies of Lantern Street story (as far as I could tell) . I expected this 3rd. book would be Clarissa's story. Book 1 was Evangeline's & book 2 was Beatrice's story...both were very good, What happened to Clarissa's story? Left very puzzled, however Otherwise Engaged was very good.

Interesting
The storyline had quite a few unexpected plots, twists and turns which made it interesting and wanting to see what happened next. Unfortunately, the readers tone made me want to stop listening quite frequently. The tone of the men, sounded angry all the time. The tone of the women was much better. More normal. All in all it was a good story.

exceptional reading!!
A story of intrigue and love wrapped in a mystery involving spies and agents from England, Russia and maybe America. All pursuing a solar power invention. but will the notorious Bridegroom Killer that has London living in fear end the pursuit before the crime is solved? ,you really must read this. I love the interpretation of each character as the vocals were distinctive and differed for each one, making it fun and interesting following them throughout the story.

not my cup of tea
It is an interesting mystery with a little bit of romance. I prefer a lot of romance with a little mystery.

Amanda Quick is Back!!!!
I was so hoping this book would bring me joy like The Paid Companion and the Lavinia and Tobias trilogy. It does that and more!! I loved this book. Great characters! Great story! I did not want it to end. The original Amanda Quick books started my love for historical romance and mystery, and this book reminded me of that love.
Worth waiting for. Now I want more!!

Seems like I've heard this before.
I enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz regardless of what name her books are under. However, throughout this story I kept feeling that I had hear it before and I got so far ahead of the plot that I lost interest in the characters. Sorry but Louise Jane Underwood's narration didn't help. It wasn't terrible but it took awhile before I realized which was the male and which was the female speaker. Overall I give this two stars, I won't be asking for my credit back but I doubt I'll listen to this one again.

Enjoyable story with good narration
I enjoyed the story - murder mystery, evil antagonists, likeable protagonists, and good narration. I really don't understand why some reviewers complain they don't like the narration, but to each his own. I enjoyed so much I'm just starting another Amanda Quick narrated by Louise Jane Underwood.

Loved it
I think the people that reviewed this did not listen to it all the way through. It was very good. I Did listen to it on 1.35 speed, that always helps if it’s slow
