Resumen del Editor

Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle, may have survived the deadly perils of Egypt, but back in Regency London, he faces the most dire threat yet: his irrational, emotional family...and the completely uncontrollable Miss Olivia Wingate-Carsington! Descended from a line of notorious - but very aristocratic - adventurers, Olivia has a long history of driving Peregrine to distraction, and her debut into polite society hasn't lessened her flair for drama, or her ability to drag him into her scandalous schemes. All Peregrine wants to do is escape back to his research and the lesser evils of poisonous snakes and tomb robbers, but his family has guilted him into an impossible mission in the Scottish wilds; and Olivia - who is keenly aware that a respectable future of marriage and rules and propriety looms - decides that accompanying him will be the perfect chance for one last adventure. Besides, she really only wants to help, which is why Lisle and Olivia find themselves in a gloomy Scottish castle inhabited by grumpy servants, spiteful ghosts, and craven murderers...and possibly the greatest peril of all: the wayward commands of their very unruly hearts!

Another charming winner...

I love when a heroine has brains and demand their man lets them use it. I love when the hero relishes their sexy and smart heroine.
Kate Reading is a fabulous narrator, easily handling both men and women voices. Her inflection, pauses and interpretation bring the authors work to life.

One of my favorite romances!

Loretta Chase outdoes herself in an historical romp that sparkles with wit and humor! Olivia is a delightful heroine and her scenes with Lord Lyle are saucy and hilarious. The Carsington series is one of Ms Chase's finest, but this is, in my opinion, the crown jewel.

Should read these in order....

This continuing saga of characters is just delicious to listen to during dreary winter storms. LC must travel for research regarding this continuing saga of British artifact hunters. Fun all the way back to Scotland.

What a fun read!

The story is entertaining, the characters are hilarious and the reader brings it all together. Great book!

Wonderful and delightful

I have enjoyed this story emensley . The characters are more than charming and I laughed out loud and missed more than one highway exit during the love making scenes!

A smart laugh out loud kind of love mixed with wit

The best type of book that leaves one feeling love and laughter! The chemistry is palpable.

Good but not my favorite

This started out so well. I just love the correspondence between Olivia and Lisle and I have since they first met in an earlier book. Their characters are wonderful and their dialogue is delightful. I laughed aloud more than once. The story was good, not great. And the narration was a bit sub-par for me. The whining was a little too much. And I felt Olivia's "voice" was inconsistent.

But the series is fantastic and I hope there are many more books in this family's future.

the return of fun

I like Loretta Chase'e writing and her work is read very well. This book is the return of characters from another book. In general, this is not the book likely to start the addiction for Loretta Chase books, however, I have the addiction and enjoyed the play and plot twists. Personally I think this return of characters was done very well and the resolution of temperament on both sides, as usual, is fun and sexy.

Hilarious

Loretta Chase is a dialog genius. Her characters are entertaining and witty. Kate Reading does an amazing job with narration and all the “he said” “she said.” I loved the entire series, but Olivia and Lyle are my favorites. Not to mention the Harpies and great Grandma Carsington. 🤣

Childhood friends to lovers

If only real life childhood crushes could end this way....I enjoyed this story and rounding up to 4 stars--not quite with the feels and the conflict was weak but the banter between the characters was charming and satisfying. Nice wrapping up of the series.
