Strangers meet, romance blossoms. But there's a test...A classic fairytale retold. Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome. Cleverness isn't important. Daughters in limited quantities are fine so long as they are pretty. Bastards are inconvenient and best ignored. It's not a big problem, unless you are one. Unfortunately, Sophy is.

Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail.

Story
Best-selling author Jane Feather brings to life the glamour, sophistication, and intrigue of Regency-era London in this captivating novel of unexpected passions and dangerous secrets. Pooling their meager resources, Lady Cornelia Dagenham, her sister-in-law Aurelia, and their friend Liv Lacey arrive in London's Cavendish Square to spend a month at the home Liv has just inherited. But why anyone would show a fervent interest in purchasing the rundown property - particularly the arrogant Viscount Bonham, who clearly could afford the finest of homes, is a puzzle.

Part of a series, but could be read alone
This is the first book that I've read in the Numinous World series and the first of Jo Graham's novels as well. I had no expectations going into the read and was happy to have enjoyed the tale as much as I did.
The book revolves around Elzelina Versfelt during the mid to late 1700's, who finds herself in a string of situations that tests her character and her will. Elzelina is a strong-willed female who bends and shifts with the various fortunes and misfortunes that come her way. She is vastly flawed and unapologetically so, but that is what makes her a realistic and likable lead. I enjoyed the way this tale unfolded. It is passionate and dangerous as well as it is sensual and taboo. This is not a fluffy romance because the main character does explore her sexuality, sleeping with many men and a woman. Also there are a couple of strong situations that might offend some people. However Graham writes it in a way that you understand the severity of the situations, but you also don't feel like it's distasteful or excessive.
Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot. There were some parts that could've used some tightening in the plot or the flow of the scene, but in it's entirety, the tale is beautiful and slightly tragic.
Narration
Narrator: Arika Rapson
Performance: 4/5
Speed: 1.25x
Rapson did a great job with the narration, her voice was appropriate for the main character whose POV is throughout the book. There were a lot of characters in this book and Rapson was great with distinction and consistency between the various characters. Her tone and pace were consistent as well allowing me a hands-off on the volume dial as well as a constant speed that I could play the recording at.

Trying hard to find something good to say.
This was bad. From the vague descriptions of possible reincarnation that went nowhere to weird sex scenes, this was just a strange book. Initially Elza dresses like her dead brother Charles to comfort her mentally troubled mother. Then she dresses like Charles to travel safely, etc until she developes what I guess is a bit of a conflicted identity. That's one storyline. Right off the bat, Elza abandons her children to her cold and politically ambitious husband. That took away any possibility for sympathy for the "heroine". I've tried to find something positive to say..I did like Mechelle, a gallant General of the French Army who becomes an obsession for Elza, but that's it. I only stuck it out and finished the book because I was sure she'd do something climactic with the reincarnation story or whatever she was hinting at. That did not happen.
The narrator was not pleasant to hear. I felt like I was listening to a book club reading.
My recommendation on this one is to save your money.
