A good clean regency romance

I liked the story. There weren’t any big sparks or anything. I loved the 2 guards’ shenanigans! However, the dialogue was a bit weak and the sister was annoying. Also, the servants seemed inappropriately opinionated.

The narrator did a great job with accents and different genders.

Good Book

I enjoyed it but felt her other books have been better. This seemed to be a lot like many other of the books. Excellent author nonetheless.

Exciting storyline and narration was very enjoyable.

I liked the suspense and interaction of characters. I was captivated by the story and will continue to listen to this series.

Great storyline but?

The story is engaging and the narration was suburb. However, the two main characters have a hard time expressing deep felt love for one another. It wasn’t believable, both main characters lacked something I just couldn’t put my finger on. Anyway, the story was really good but, I had to take a star away from the characters. I would still recommend -make you own mind up

Love this !

What a delicious treat and a real page turner. I love the characters who unfold from cold aristocratic to more emotional beings. It’s a great storyline with a few surprise twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kudos to Ms. Beers!
Karen Cass did a nice job narrating the audio version.
