Publisher's summary

Handsome. Charming. Devastating. He was the last man she needed, but the only one she wanted.

Elizabethan England: Orlando Holt has never assassinated a woman before. The lovely, feisty Lady Lynden will be his first. She's supposed to be a vicious murderess, but when Orlando begins to have doubts, he sets out to discover the identity of the person who hired him. What he learns will turn his world upside down and propel him headlong into love with a woman who's immune to his charms.

Twice widowed by the age of 24, Lady Susanna Lynden has had enough of charming men. Her last husband knew all the right things to say to get her to the marriage bed...then made her life miserable.

Money may be scarce and her house falling down around her, but the exotic fruits from her orange trees will keep poverty away. Except, someone is thwarting her at every turn. Someone who may even want her dead.

Good story ok performance

I enjoyed the story and male narrator was great but the female character sounded robotic at times and over acting at other times. it was a little difficult to enjoy.

Great story

CJ Archer never disappoints! The narrators were not the best choice for this one but it was still good.

Good Story

Good story. I liked the characters. The voice actors took away from the story and should be rethought.

Couldn't make it through...

The Dutchess is just too much. She reads like she's getting a pedicure. I've never heard the word "said" pronounced the way she does - I'm from the South and even I know that's way too many vowels.

Mostly ok

The male voice was great, female voice grated on me, everything came out as wining, and the way she said Orlando! Swear I rolled my eyes every time

Fun story, wish the accents were better.

CJ Archer does a nice job creating light, enjoyable stories with a nice mix of intrigue and romance. The male narrator did a decent job; the female narrator’s accent was inconsistent and clunky which could be distracting and pulled me out of the story at times. I still enjoyed it, though, and I’m listening to the next one, so clearly not a deal breaker.

Weak story

4 hours of noise, 60 seconds of hot and heavy love making then 4 hours of noise. Staying this is an assassins guild I expected more action and suspense. Instead it was meeting townsfolk and visiting buildings with the vail of who could the villain be. The graphic sex was out of left field to the level of detail compared to the boringness of the rest of the story. Not sure I could stand next in the series.

Finally, some spice!

I've been waiting for this series. Finally some sexy scenes. Excellent team reminiscent of India & Matthew. Narrators are great. I'm excited about CJ again.

Very good book with great narration.

Very good book with great narration. Enjoyed the story & characters. But the narration, the two narrators were excellent. Their timing made it fold together seamlessly. It was a joy. Thank You.
