Magnetic and educated, Marianne Simpson has the manner of a lady and the looks of a lover, not a fighter. Neither of which explains her occupation as a boxer in her uncle's circus, Farnham's Fantastical Female Fayre. Nonetheless, when St. John Powell, the exquisitely handsome Duke of Staunton, begins turning up at her shows, she finds herself dangerously distracted by the powerful peer's mysterious presence. With her safety at stake, Marianne's days in the ring are numbered. But how long can she fight her attraction to the man the ton calls Lord Flawless?

St. John Powell doesn't just want Marianne Simpson, he needs her . . . to rescue his brother, who is being held for ransom by a treasonous English baron—the man all of Britain knows as the Rake of Rakes. No matter how little Marianne wants to see her duplicitous ex-lover, the man responsible for the humiliating nickname the Boxing Baroness, St. John must convince her. Even if it means climbing into the ring with the beautiful boxer and taking everything she's got . . .

Contains mature themes.

I had a difficult time listening to the narrator but I got used to her… the story had good “bones” but many sections seemed to drag on and on. There were funny sections also. The plot did many twists so you had to pay attention to the many characters as well.

Very creative premise, and really interesting plot, but sometimes the execution of the story was less inspired....many conversations sounded way too unnatural, obviously written to inform the reader of what was going on, but it was too obvious. Narrator had a beautiful voice, but mispronounced so many words it was distracting and often her tones during conversations sounded...wrong. Overall it was a creative and interesting plot, but needed better editing and naration.

The story was clever and the forbidden romance was very sweet (and steamy). I didn’t care for the narrator and sometimes had a hard time distinguishing the characters, but wanted to finish to see Marianne and Sin’s story to the end.
