Resumen del Editor

Behind the doors of the Clifford Charity School for Wayward Girls there lies a secret society of brilliant, fearless women who are bringing justice to London's most corrupt aristocrats, one nobleman at a time....

Other young ladies might occupy their spare time with drawing or needlework, but Sophia Monmouth spends hers scaling rooftops and shadowing suspicious characters. Her objective: to gain information that will free a friend wrongly accused of murder. She hasn't bargained on being spotted and followed back to the Clifford School by a mysterious earl who holds almost as many secrets as she does.

Tristan Stratford, Lord Gray, earned the nickname the Ghost of Bow Street because no man has ever escaped him. Sophia - all soft curves beneath her disguise - is a unique challenge. Determined to learn the truth about the Clifford School, he joins Sophia in a scheme that leads from Newgate's cells to the pinnacle of power. But when desire is at odds with justice, succumbing to temptation may lead them both into the heart of danger.

Contains mature themes.

Story was interesting but...

I liked the underlying story. The romance felt like a slow burn, but the class differences really irked me.
Also, I wish these explicit sex scenes were labeled in the genre as erotica... I'm definitely not a prude, but a blow by blow of the anatomy definitely detracts from the romantic aspects of a "romance" novel. I mean, seriously, the sex scene is over 25 min in length - no sensuality or mystery - zzzzzzzz, - enough! we got it, and it's not arousing.

I'm not a fan of this narrator, but she is not terrible.

Great story

Suspenseful story, characters were realistic and the story had a happy ending. Romance as well.

Loved this!!

Great bantering between Sophia and Tristan. I enjoyed the love story and the mystery!!! Can't wait to read more in the series.

Romance sizzle

The plot itself was very good. It was a bit slow at times but all the pieces fit together well in the end. I was only upset if the name… not true. Grr

more then just a love story

good plot..i like the mystery..but i did figure out it was pool from the beginning when he was in the office

Fantastic

I enjoyed the story and the narrator did a great job!
I loved the ending also.

She’s not a virgin so I don’t know why this book is in this Series!

My title brings up one point. This is a misplaced book!

I loved the special name he started calling her about halfway through the book - Pixie. So cute. She is described as being small so it is appropriate.

This book is not only a good romance novel but also a murder mystery. Both aspects are well written with great character development. It is very enjoyable to listen to because the narrator is so talented. Very good.

I like that it was a murder mystery...

it was interesting. Love scene a little long. And spoiler alert, she wasn't a virgin, which he did not seem to mind, but it is in the title.

MISLEADING TITLE THERE ARE NO VIRGINS IN THIS STOR

Listen to Audible Edition 5 stars for the narrator Jessica Bright.

This reads more like a Modern Day Lady Spy story. But we as readers or listeners are suppose believe this is 1793 Georgian England. No way!! The Characters and banter between them is to Modern!

The other problem I have with the story is the title "Swooning Virgins". Sophia is no Virgin from what she says she has had many lovers!! I don't think none of her colleague are virgins. So why would the author deceive the readers implying you are reading about Virgins?

This is more of a Modern Day Spy story. It definitely NOT Historical Romance story!!
