Now the new Duke of Hollinburgh, Nicholas Radnor has two duties to fulfill: locate the mysterious woman mentioned in his late uncle's will and acquire a suitable bride. When bedazzling, unconventional Iris Barrington shows up at the estate, Nicholas believes he may have found the missing beneficiary—unless she is a charlatan, or worse. But as for his second duty—he is finding it difficult to think of any other woman while tantalizing thoughts of Iris occupy his mind. He agrees to fulfill the late duke's promise to her, even as he grows suspicious of both her motives and the danger that seems to surround her. All of which keeps her temptingly close at hand . . .

Iris will do anything to restore honor to her beloved grandfather's name. Even tangle with the likes of Nicholas, a man whose formidable intellect and good looks lure her like no other. But all her years on the continent have not prepared her for the sensual onslaught she discovers in his embrace—or the devastation of almost losing him to malicious intentions. Now Iris's desire to unearth the scandal behind the dukedom burns ever brighter: for doing so might also protect the man who has stolen her heart . . .

Contains mature themes.

We should have had an epilogue. Needed a little more of their story. Feels unfinished to me.

As I was reading this series, I was surprised to realize that this last book was not released. Then, the next day it was available, I snatched it up, and I couldn't help feeling auspicious about it. This book was very intriguing as Iris's whole family history was wrapped up in the plot. There were repeated attempts to kill these two and an unlikely cat to the rescue! In the end, all the mysteries are explained including the old duke's death. I was most impressed by the fact that Iris would not borrow money for any reason, even while waiting to receive this inheritance.

Iris is an enjoyable, sensible character

Strong smart and loving characters. Some wonderful and some irritating family. Mystery, romance, friendship, and lust is told through 3 great stories. The characters and friends move through out the telling.

Excellent series— great story & characters!

I really enjoyed all three books of this series. Each story was different, but loved how the past characters were brought into the next story.

Great series

Liked the characters and the setting. Lacked having one good, physical love scene. Overall, enjoyable.

Good story

The mystery wraps up okay, if a bit lackluster. The biggest problem with the book is there is absolutely no reason that Nicholas should be so in love with or enamored of Iris. Yes, she is beautiful and independent, but her character is so one-dimensional that I have a lot of trouble believing someone like Nicholas would be so in love with her to want to marry her. Nicholas' character was a bit better fleshed out but he too lacked some depth. Iris lacked the dimension that both Minerva and Rosamund had in the previous books. Narrator was fantastic as usual. the only reason to use a credit on this book is to wrap up the mystery of who killed the previous Duke.

Weakest of the series

I loved it. I do wish there had been an epilogue since this was the end of the series. It
would have been nice to have the three heiress together with their husbands.

As always I enjoy this writer and this series. However. I felt the ending to the book and series was a bit rushed and abrupt.

Abrupt series and book ending

An excellent end to an entertaining series. While the story lines in all three books are very similar, each book has its own little twist. I really like that the heiress in each book is a commoner, In this book, the author did a great job of pulling together all the strings from the previous books. The characters in this book are rich in character, making for delightful dialogs. This will be a repeat listen for me...for sure.

Excellent listen - great story
