A Bastion Club novel, and all of them are good and each is different.
Another romance novel, one where a misunderstanding years ago left each of them mistrusting the other (separated for many years until after Waterloo), but this one does have a real plot to keep you interested long after the gratuitous erotica has you yawning.
Aside from the romance aspect, there are murders, traitorous activites found out, help from fellow ex spies, and a lot of speculation and action throughout. No spoilers. Just enjoy it.
Jill Tanner does a pretty good job with this one.

Better than Excellent!

Great story, loved every bit of it. The sex scenes could have been less especially after their first reunion encounter. But otherwise it was very well written . Didn’t like the male voices but that’s difficult with just a female narrator. Thank you for the great entertainment!

It was alright

I love Stephanie Laurens and her Bastion Club novels but this one just dragged on i thought. did not hold my interest at times i just turned it off and came back to it later. no real "romance" and to me the plot was so-so. just not my cup of tea on this one

Prepare to grim-ace to the end

It could’ve been cut in half and I would possibly have found it enjoyable. So drawn out, especially the sex scenes. So much repetition. Some female narrators who attempt to perform in a “male” voice sound very irritating. But this narrator uses the same voice throughout, So Charles would be talking, but it was the same voice used for Penny so it was confusing.

Really slow with TERRIBLE narration

I like Stephanie Laurens but I found even the sex scenes too drawn out in this book. And that narrator is truly wretched. It might have been her fault this was so bad.

another great mystery adventure.

loved another of the Club's mystery adventure. Stephanie can take you away. I have a great drive to and from work listening to the story being acted out.

British pronunciation tiresome

What small portion of the book is devoted to action and plot is interesting but all the bedroom scenes put me to sleep. And this author used the word "grimace" way too often. Add to that the readers pronounce it as 'grim aces' - sounds like a bad poker hand. If you are looking for an easy listen to lull you to an easy nap this is the story for you.

Redo the chspters

There is something wrong with how the chapters are designated in the audible recording. They aren’t bookmarked correctly. I often use the sleep option and use the “end of chapter” option to stop listening. Several times the recording stopped mid-sentence and rarely stopped when it was the actual end of the chapter in the written book. Also, the numbering is off. I was listening the Chapter 17 when the narrator said Chapter 14.

all good, except the pronunciation of...

Grimaced. Say that to yourself. Then turn the 'a' into a hard a. ugh. With all the grim'a'cing in the story, it interrupts the flow and becomes increasingly disturbing. Not enough to lower my estimation of the story, but enough to have me writing this review.

Is that how the British pronounce the word? ugh
