From the acclaimed author of Compromised comes a tale of love and war among the ton.

Phillippa Benning is the unrivaled beauty of the Season. But when another lady challenges her for a marquis's attentions, Phillippa entices him to a secret rendezvous only to stumble upon The Blue Raven, England's most famous spy, lurking at the site of her planned tryst.

The Blue Raven has uncovered an enemy plot directed at upcoming society functions, but he's unable to infiltrate London society. Phillippa makes an offer: In exchange for entrée among the ton, he agrees to have his true identity revealed at the Benning Ball, guaranteeing her unrivaled notoriety. As the danger draws closer, the mysterious spy and Phillippa give in to mutual desire.

Great story!

fun, witty, engaging....Kate Noble's writing is a delight that captivates your imagination & plunges you into 1800s English Society. Her books are such a good read & Alison Larkin brings each moment & character to life!

Well done and recommended

I recommended this series recently when someone was asking for something "like Bridgerton, but a cozy mystery". I enjoyed it very much, and it's clear the author has a good sense of character development, pacing, and the rhythms of both mystery and romance.

This book is EVERYTHING

This is by far my favorite in the Series have now listened to it for the 9th time. Makes you laugh, cry and wonder.
All of Alliston Larkin’s work is brilliant 5 stars wasn’t enough to give.

Great story and narration!

Excellent story and narration! Second time listening to this series. The only thing I could have done without was the sex scene. Thankfully it was easy enough to skip over. Otherwise excellent! Looking forward to the next in the series, again I will skip the sex scene.

Narrator

Story was very good but the narrators voice made my ears want to bleed! Compromised was the first book I read and I was hoping for the male and female lead that compromised had. Instead a squeaky English woman does all the voices.

A strong female lead

As the title suggests the female lead is smart and strong so the book is a refreshing change from the usual silly and naive female leads.

Excellent narration by Ms Larkin.

I almost stopped listening after the first 2 mins,

I am thankful I did not. It was an enjoyable ride with intrigued and love.

Very well written novel

Revealed is my first audio book by Kate Noble and I enjoyed it. It's well written, the development of the characters and the plot has a nice flow to it and I particularly enjoyed the sense of optimism about Phillippa's character besides her intelligence.

Looking forward to listening other audio books by Kate Noble. As for narration, I found some adjusting to Alison Larkin's accent for the first few minutes. However, after that, I enjoyed her narration. Overall, it was a good listen!

An Entertaining Regency Spy Novel

I found this audiobook an enjoyable listen because it invested sufficient time in a story beyond the romance between the protagonists. I thought the main characters' personalities were commensurate with each other, and they made a complementary couple. Phillippa was strong and witty, and she used her strengths in a way that would be acceptable for a woman of the times. However, she was slightly imbecilic when it came to her own safety, which felt contradictory to her intellect. I liked the use of secondary characters and backstory for some of the characters, but it was bothersome that there were several loose ends not tied up by the end that I can only assume will be addressed in other books of the series. This book was like going to a fun wedding of people you barely know: The food and drink, music, and atmosphere are all great, but you realize you don't know as much as you'd like about many of the people there.

The narration was fine on some accounts, but I didn't care for how the narrator made Phillppa (and several other female characters) sound. Too shrill and childish for my taste for a female protagonist.

I recommend this to fans of the author and regency romances.

Not what you expect

I agree with an earlier review that Ms.Bennington is not your typical heroine but this book is simply refreshing and on point
