A Reckless Courtship

A Regency Romance (A Chronicle of Misadventures, Book 3)

By: Martha Keyes

Narrated by: Vicki-Jo Eva

He already lost his good name. Can he afford to lose his heart as well?

Silas Yorke is in hiding. After being falsely accused of murder by one of the most powerful peers in England, he has no other choice. But he itches for freedom. Concealment in the countryside was difficult enough, but to clear his name, he must assume a new identity and go to London. There, he courts real danger—the last thing on his mind is courting women.

Until he meets Miss Easton.

Arabella Easton has been raised with wealth and position—and no opportunity to make choices of her own. When her father allows her to join her cousin in London, she hopes to make the most of her opportunity. Her father might intend for her to make a match, but Arabella wishes to experience life rather than cede her freedom to another man.

Yet, she is drawn almost immediately to the mysterious gentleman she meets at a masquerade. Being with him is exhilarating in ways she has never known. But is he the man he says he is, or is their romance doomed from the start?

A Reckless Courtship is the third in a series of Regency romances, full of banter, a touch of suspense, and all the swoon without the steam.

Love Silas!!!!

I absolutely love this book!! The second book is also my favorite with William and Clara. Silas is so different than William, but so lovable, kind and considerate. I love the sense of humor that Martha Keyes infuses into this book. I wish I had an aunt Eugenia! She is absolutely wonderful! Clean and enjoyable!

Romance and intrigue

Each character had beautiful personalities
Each chapter made you want more. Exciting story. Thank you.

Intriguing and romantic

Romantic, Suspenseful, and Utterly delightful. I was charmed by Silas in “Secrets of a Duke.” Silas’ endearing and fun-filled personality, even while he was enduring such hardships, simply stole my heart — and Arabella was obviously his perfect match, in spite of the major obstacles to be overcome, some of which are not revealed till later in the story. Highly recommend.

The audiobook was also very well narrated.
