Despite the slanderous rumors about Arabella, William of Blackleith wants her when no other lord will.

Joanna Sherwood, the Countess of Carew, has always been wildly in love with Adrian Delacourt, the darkly handsome and devastatingly charming Duke of Roxbury. When they wed, it was her dream come true - a dream that quickly turned to a nightmare as her husband accused her of infidelity and sullied her good name in Regency society.

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there's one problem: She's far more interested in publishing her women's journal than getting married - especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere - along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Sweeping medieval saga continues ...
This is my second reading of Fire series and this book is still my least favourite, purely because I really disliked main heroine,
She is spoiled, self centred and full of her own consequence, it was hard not to be irritated every time she had a speaking part.
Saying that, Fire and Steel is still beautifully written five stars story and even unlikable heroine didn’t diminish my enjoyment and I couldn’t stop listening until the very end.
Don’t understand the critics of the narrator, in my opinion, she did a fantastic job.
Overall, fantastic listen, highly recommend.

Awful narrator spoils the story
I tried the first book in the series 3 times but never got beyond more than 5 min of listening because the narrator is terrible. I'm determined to power through this one.
Why is the narrator so unsatisfactory? First of all, it is strange to have a narrator with an American accent narrate a tale of Medieval England and France. Then the delivery itself, which is absolutely flat. There is no distinction between the narrative and dialog, nor between the different characters. Her young girls sound like 50 yr old women. Ms. Caldwell's pronunciation of the few French words is execrable. You would have thought she could have made some effort to find out how they are pronounced. Additionally, she insists on pronouncing the chief villain's name "Belleme" when in actuality it's Belesme. Her dismal performance in the Fire series, unfortunately, could not be attributed to her inexperience, since these are the last ones credited to her as Sarah Caldwell (apparently she also narrates under the name Aimee Jolson). At this point, I've listened to over a hundred different narrators and I regret to say that Ms. Caldwell ranks in the bottom 1%. I can only conclude that Ms. Caldwell has no real interest in being an audiobook narrator since she obviously hadn't bothered with doing any homework before she plowed through the book, showing no hint that she even knew what she was reading. A narrator like Nicholas Boulton shows more animation when reading the phone book than Ms. Caldwell.
Except to say that I have enjoyed Anita Mill's storytelling when narrated by other performers, I can't really critique this particular story based on Ms. Caldwell's rendition. It's too bad because it's hard to find interesting Medieval romances with sufficient historical details to hold my attention.
