About this listen

A long-held family feud reignites when two rival antiquities brokers arrive at the same house party in Regency England.

Olivia Brannon knows her goals are unconventional. As a young woman in Regency England, her best bet—according to society—is to marry well and secure a steady future for herself. But Olivia has never been interested in convention. She’d prefer to follow in her deceased father’s footsteps and journey to foreign lands in search of rare and valuable antiquities.

Eager to make a name for herself in the antiquities world, Olivia jumps at an invitation to join a wealthy widow at the famed Cloverton Hall to evaluate her private antiquities collection. Secrecy of the task is vital, and in order to conceal her efforts Olivia must pretend to be a house party guest to avoid suspicion and to explain her presence.

Lucas Avery, whose father was a rival of Olivia’s father, has also arrived at the Cloverton Hall house party, hired by the new master of Cloverton Hall—the widow’s nephew—to appraise the renowned Cloverton Hall collection. When Lucas discovers Olivia masquerading as a party guest while covertly conducting her own assessment, he’s keen to renew the family rivalry. But as their paths frequently cross, he’s unprepared for the effect the refreshingly honest—and beautiful—Olivia has on him.

Yet all is not as it seems. Both Olivia and Lucas are shocked by the astonishing discovery of counterfeit pieces, and when the unexpected occurs, everyone is a suspect . . . and Olivia and Lucas both must choose whom they will trust. Only the hidden treasure will allow Louisa and her sister to gain their freedom.

  • Sweet Regency romance set in the same time period as Bridgerton

Great all the way around!

The story was good. Enjoyed the characters.The narrator made the characters seem whiny and squeaky and nags. Some characters were accusatory and off putting.

Story good. Narrator annoying

It's hard to tell if the story is any good because of the narrator. Her delivery is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. She gets high-pitched and whiney, It's hard to be on the side of any character because they all sound so annoying. I don't understand her reading of these characters. It's juvenile in its delivery. The story seems juvenile as well, or maybe just the characters seem juvenile. I wish I had started to listen to this story before the return period expired. Unfortunately, i ordered three books in this series, and one is the same as the other. They are overly descriptive, too many adjectives, that are all repeated in all three books (Yes, I listened to all three because I paid for them). It just seems the story has a lot of extra word "noise." It detracts from the story, which could probably have been summed up in 5 pages, which is fine, I suppose, for a tween story. It somewhat reminds me of the Eragon series, which I read to my son when he was younger, however, those were enjoyable for what they were.
Also, I don't know why these books are in a series. None of the characters overlap. Why? That would have made these books so much more interesting. A missed opportunity.

Offensive to the ears
