Handsome. Charming. Devastating. He was the last man she needed, but the only one she wanted.

Elizabethan England: Orlando Holt has never assassinated a woman before. The lovely, feisty Lady Lynden will be his first. She's supposed to be a vicious murderess, but when Orlando begins to have doubts, he sets out to discover the identity of the person who hired him. What he learns will turn his world upside down and propel him headlong into love with a woman who's immune to his charms.

Twice widowed by the age of 24, Lady Susanna Lynden has had enough of charming men. Her last husband knew all the right things to say to get her to the marriage bed...then made her life miserable.

Money may be scarce and her house falling down around her, but the exotic fruits from her orange trees will keep poverty away. Except, someone is thwarting her at every turn. Someone who may even want her dead.

Be a strong woman or don’t

Really, a very good story and excellent narration. My challenge was that the main character’s strength seemed to come from her loving sex and looking at her lover’s member. That’s just fine, but I would have liked her being more decisive and less maidenly day to day.

Good story ok performance

I enjoyed the story and male narrator was great but the female character sounded robotic at times and over acting at other times. it was a little difficult to enjoy.

OMG- Female narrator STINKS

Ugh!!! I love a ton of CJ Archer’s books. Her regular narrators are amazing. This female narrator is so unnecessarily dramatic. Every. Word. Is. Drama. Ugh. I’m not sure I’m going to make it through.

I enjoyed the two perspective storytelling

I enjoyed the two perspective storytelling immensely!! I work with my hands long hours and love to listen to books... CJ Archer is one of my favorites.

I'm sorry I can't listen to her...

I should have listened to her before I bought this book. I can't follow her... her inflections are off and the lilt in her voice is off-putting. he us amazing. She sometimes reads like she's teaching a child to read. she's ruined the book for me.
