A past kiss with adorably bookish Miss Olivia Norley should be barely a memory for Marlowe Drake, the duke of Thornstock. After all, there are countless debutantes for a handsome rakehell to charm beyond a young lady whose singular passion is chemistry - of the laboratory type. But Thorn has not forgotten - or forgiven - the shocking blackmail scheme sparked by that single kiss, or the damage caused to both their names. Now Thorn’s half brother, Grey, has hired the brilliant Miss Norley for her scientific expertise in solving a troubling family mystery.

Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world - especially smart-mouthed harpies (with lips better suited to kissing than speaking) who brave his castle with indecent proposals. But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself.

Hudson gets his HEA!
And he is not the only one. This is another great book with a lot of mystery and many twists and turns. It's fast-paced and kept me enthralled 'til the very end. And what an ending it was! Be prepared for a big showdown on a foggy bridge. I love the author's imagination! You think you know who the villain is? Think again. Thank you for the wonderful journey you took us on, Ms. Clee. I just wish there were more books in this series. And let's not forget Liisa Ivary. Her narration is always great.

Romance, passion and friendship
Another great story from Adele Clee. Hudson Lockhart is the last of the friends to have his story told. The characters of Claudia Darling and Hudson Lockhart were engaging, Claudia would do everything to provide for her sister, she was caring but had a steel core when needed. Hudson was determined to clear his name. This was an engrossing story that has a number of surprises, some tender moments and moments where true friendship came to the fore. It also had a fascinating relationship between Claudia and Hudson that had humour and passion. I’m only sorry that this was the last on the series.
The narrator, Liisa read the story well and used different voices to bring the characters to life.

A total disappointment.
I was curious about the stories of the last two remaining characters.
However with rampant sex either doing or think, the whispery, breathy, dramatic style of the narrator, the plot becomes a side issue. It is a pity that to bulk up the book the author felt the need to thrown in alot of gratuitous sex. It becomes extremely tedious, especially when busy doing something else with no hope of fast forwarding. The need for so much sex is explained by the weak plot, the only highlight was proving just because you are blind, it doesn't make you dumb. However, this was portrait as a very small side issue.
