Publisher's summary

Her pride.

His prejudice.

Their passion.

As headstrong as she is beautiful, Lady Cassandra Vernham defied convention when she refused to marry the man who had compromised her. Now, estranged from her family, Cassandra struggles to make ends meet. A recent auction of her jewels has brought her a modicum of relief, but one of the most valuable lots was never paid for by the highest bidder: handsome, rakish Viscount Ambury. Cassandra needs that money badly, and not to buy a new hat.

Ambury has only to look at Cassandra to begin imagining her in his bed . . . He has not settled that outstanding debt for a reason. He suspects that the expensive baubles were stolen, perhaps even by Cassandra herself. Erotic fantasies about her notwithstanding, the vixen is not to be trusted, for she has already destroyed his good friend—the man she refused to marry who later lost his life in a duel, which Ambury suspects was fought over Cassandra. But nothing is as it seems . . .

As the seductive lord and the scandalous beauty are drawn together, the passion that flares between them will illuminate shocking secrets that will change both their lives forever . . .

Better than the first in the series

I enjoyed the first book in the series and this one didn’t disappoint. The ending was a surprise so there’s that to look forward to. Looking forward to reading the next two in this series, especially Kendale and Mariel’s story. I like that she sets up the other characters story in the current story, it gives it a cohesiveness that really pulls you into their universe. Worth the listen.

The narration is fantastic

Alison Larkin's narration is just superb. She differentiates clearly between the characters and her voice is just such a pleasure to listen to. It's a good story and engrosses you and I really like the heroine Cassandra who is not typical, but has her own mind and there's enough suspense to keep you really engaged. Nothing boring here, as can be the case with Regency romance novels. Interesting political angle too. I came to it because I heard Larkin's Pride and Prejudice which I loved - saw this, thought I'd try it. I'm now going back to listen to the first book. Hopefully there will be two more - it does say Quartet!, right?

Good story. Should shorten for audio

The story was good. I enjoyed the repartee' of the characters. Too many inner thoughts and not enough action for 13 chapters. Real story began in the middle. First time listening to narrator Alison Larkin. I liked her. Not my favorite, but good.

Incredible narration!

I’m going immediately to look for more books narrated by Ms. Larkin. The story was cute but she made it such a wonderful wonderful listen.
