Publisher's summary

Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man?

Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he's tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of society's most harmless - and idiotic - bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they're not the only ones with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon - and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives - can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won't be denied?

Perfect pairing

It doesn’t get any better, Sherry Thomas and Kate Reading! 2011 RITA award winner. A very good year!

Intense

After I started listening, I realized that I had listened to it once before. It was worth listening twice. I missed a few things the first time. I laughed out loud a couple of times especially when she was trying to trick him into marriage. The author made you see the tripping and tangled curtain and limbs. It was quite intense several times too without gore

Who need whom

Great story about going undercover for the crown. The need to escape was great. A few days to plan it. Luckily the right man was there to be capture.

Lovely

One of the nicest romances I have hear in ages. Great narration. Well worth while.

Great read

The book is. Very good and while the hero’s facade might be far fetched, it is very well developed. The title is misleading but the narrator is outstanding.
This is my first book for the author and narrator, I look forward to more of there books

Good story. Great narrator.

The story was pretty good. I got a little confused at time with the background info but yeah it wasn’t bad. I liked the characters and felt they acted like real people. The best part is the narrator, she had great voices, they were consistent and didn’t distract from the story ever.

Unique

I like this story, it was unique in a lot of ways. I give it 1 out of 5 for steaminess, but good story

Great storyline!

I really enjoyed the storyline. The characters were engaging and I was invested. There's two things that would have made me give the book 5 stars across the board. 1. The two main characters should have had much hotter intimate scenes. 2. The beating scenes went on too long. That aside, I look forward to reading more by this author. I found the novel because I will listen to Kate Reading narrate a phone book so hopefully she will be linked to more of this authors work.

Audio editing has some mistakes

There’s a couple of places where the audio files were misplaced. One minute you have two characters talking, then the next line is a totally different character, then the next line jumps back to the previous two characters continuing their conversation. There are at least two places where this displacement occurs. The narrator is wonderful so if you’re listening well, you’ll get a bit confused when you hear it.

Romance, adventure, mystery, and a happy ending

This is the first Audible rendition of a Sherry Thomas novel I have listened to and I was not disappointed. The story was captivating and beautifully presented. Ms. Thomas’ stories are compelling and the growth in the characters over time is skillfully developed. The love-making is quite steamy but is not the main focus of the storyline as many historical romances are today. I ran the battery down on my iPad because I couldn’t stop listening to story. I highly recommend “His at Night.”
