About this listen

For Finlay Swinton, Viscount Firthwell and only son of a powerful earl, life has been a lark...until he discovers a terrible family secret that could ruin him. Determined to make a name for himself free of scandal's shadow, he runs for Parliament. However, he encounters Charlotte, the mysterious woman who disappeared after their one night together, and he finds it impossible to stay away, despite her working class status and Jewish faith that threaten to destroy his chance for success.

Widowed, penniless, and desperate, Charlotte Taylor secures a teaching position at a foundling home and relaxes into a predictable existence. That is, until Finlay, the man she shared one romantic night with, reappears, a specter from her past. He ignites her passion, even while he threatens the precarious foundation on which she's rebuilt her life. But when those from her past return to endanger her hard-earned security, she'll have to reveal his secret or go to prison.

Contains mature themes.

Outstanding! Beautiful, Heartfelt, & achingly Romantic!

My Goodness what an incredible book. This book includes everything. Superbly written to include... A clandestine meeting. A one night stand. A struggle through oppression & prejudice. Intrigue & mystery. A reveal of secrets along side a fight for personal and social justice. All this peppered with another swoonworthy romance. I absolutely adored this love story that was born of compatibility and passion and grew into friendship and deep love. What I like the best about the romance is that it was hot hot hot but not a bit crude. There always seems to be an extreme in most romance novels being either wholesome and void of any physical intimacy or full blown erotica. These sexual encounters fall somewhere in between. They balance fervent desire with reverent coupling. This is rare. The HEA is original and touching. Then, all narrated expertly. Truly a must read!

Enjoyable

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

General Thoughts This is the second series I've read by this author. I really enjoyed the other series, so I was excited to give this one a go. It was enjoyable. I liked the main characters and their relationship. I love how the author spotlights so many traditionally marginalized people in her books. It adds such an important spark to her books. Many regency novels are devoid of diversity, so I appreciate the author's purposeful inclusion and the research that underlies her books. An enjoyable read. I still prefer the other series (the Luna sisters), but I'm glad to have read these as well.

Spice Meter: ❤️‍🔥.5 Spicy, not the most detailed but definitely there.

Slow, lukewarm connections

Started off well enough but the constant victim mentality was wearing…then the dumb decisions she makes you wonder what exactly did he find attractive or interesting in her.
