About this listen

Who is the villainous Lord K? New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath’s next novel in The Chessmen: Masters of Seduction series where revenge is best served hot…

A scandalous book by an anonymous author takes London by storm, and everyone is convinced its villainous “Lord K” is the greatly admired Earl of Knightly. Heartbroken that he left her at the altar, Miss Regina Leyland impulsively sought revenge by revealing the true Knightly to the world but never expected the uproar to bring enemies to her door. To keep her identity hidden, she must trust the one man with the power to destroy her.

Furious to be the object of notoriety and gossip, Knightly confronts the lady he suspects of penning the tome only to discover she is no longer the naïve innocent he was forced to betray, but a woman of strength and conviction, who will bow before no man.

Knightly and Regina pretend a reconciliation to salvage their reputations and throw the ton off their scent. But false friendship soon turns to powerful passion. When truths emerge, threatening all they hold dear, they must face the consequences of their past if their story is ever to deserve its happily ever after.

The reading of it.

The story was unique. The switching of time spans was confusing at 1st. The full characters were absorbing.

Lovely story, interesting characters

Oh how I love a good love story and this was one of the best. The characters were strong and engaging. Thanks to Kate Reading's voice and portrayal of the characters, the listener is pulled in from the very beginning. Lorraine Heath is one of my favorite romance writers and she delivered another favorite book. Thank you ladies, for another great listen.

An unimaginable choice....with a happy ending

Kate Reading...BRILLIANT performance as always.
Knight & Regina are MAGIC. I loved this book...it had me hooked from the start. I wish it had been longer because I hated the story to end.

A story of passion read with emotion and expressiveness that never got tiresome.

The writing and storyline is a cut above the myriad of regency historical fiction novels out there. I don’t mind some explicit descriptions of the sexual act and this book struck a nice balance between sensuality and explicit language. The plot was not as formulaic as a lot of regency romances, with enough suspense to keep me listening. The weaving of excerpts from the memoir the main character allegedly penned provided additional texture to the storyline which lessened any monotony of the regency era’s common tale of royalty, the judgement-riddled ton, and how women are at the mercy of the conventions of the time.

So lovely

This lovely story was so sweet and tender. Every woman should have the opportunity to experience this kind of love; one that will last forever. However getting their HEA took forgiveness and a dynamic, scandalous book of secret love full of sexual revelations. The narration was perfect and there were times I thought I could see into the lives of Knight and Regina. Be prepared for lots of tears.

Kate Reding

I buy whatever books Kate Reding narrates (except the supernatural kind). She can make any story entertaining. The author did a good job too but these type novels are pretty similar…even though i keep getting them.

Oh Did She Hate What He Did

Oh Did Regina hate what Knightly did, and wanted to punish him without knowing all of the facts. However, this was such a great second chance romance once she knew why he jilted her at the altar. I understood why she kept her secret too, and it was a beautiful romance even when it was frustrating at times.

10 out of 10

This series has not disappointed. I loved the memoir readings. They were steamy and sensual without being overly sexual. Loretta’s prose NEVER fails to leave me enraptured. So far this is been one of the best theories I’ve read, and I look forward to the next one. This story has a lot of time hopping. It probably makes sense in the book, but caught me off guard a few times while listening. However, it does not take away from this book in the slightest. It’s basically giving us a backstory of what happened to the couple and how they got to where they are. It was very well done. All in all I enjoyed how complete this story was.
