Publisher's summary

The widowed Duchess of Sailer has desires that are hard to fill in polite society. To that effect, she visits a brothel to have her bottom reddened. If word got out, her reputation would be ruined. So, when a member of society is murdered, and her name turns up in the books he is using to blackmail people, the metropolitan police show up on her doorstep. Olivia does the only thing she can to keep her name from being dragged through the mud: she agrees to take the investigator into her life so she can help him find a killer.

Inspector Rupert McKinley expects to get in and out, and figure out who killed Lord Ethan. He doesn't care about Olivia's desires...until he starts to spend time with her, and realizes she's more interesting than he ever expected her to be. When their business relationship turns into a personal one, Rupert is determined to find the murderer before someone else - like Olivia - is killed.

Is Rupert strong enough to protect Olivia? Will she be able to follow Rupert's lead to remain safe, or will he have to lay down the law? Is their personal relationship going to blossom or weaken amidst the danger surrounding them?

Well performed!

I enjoy historical romances from time to time, and thought this book was very well performed. I liked parts of this story and other parts not so much. Typically I do not associate spanking and regency romance. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I thought the author did great with her imagery and details, along with character development.

Pretty good

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Entertaining and kept my interest all the way through. Not a complex story but still good.

Decent

Enjoyable enough. Good narrator. The story was a little shallow--no depth to the relationships or the mystery--but it flowed well. Fiesty heroin. “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”
