The Countess Conspiracy

The Brothers Sinister, Book 3

De: Courtney Milan

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised - and he laughs through it all. Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, is entirely respectable, and she’d like to stay that way. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous, one that ties her irrevocably to England’s most infamous scoundrel: Sebastian’s theories aren’t his. They’re hers. So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long conspiracy, she’ll do anything to save their partnership...even if it means opening her vulnerable heart to the rake who could destroy it for good.

The books in the Brothers Sinister series:

Courtney Milan does it like no other!

She writes fierce and complex femme protagonists and just as nuanced considerate romantic heroes-all without feeling contrived! Plus her subplots are rich and real as well! Add the treasure of Rosalyn Landor and you have audiobook perfection!!!

I adore this installment of the series!

The story was intriguing, but I especially love the dedication. Really got connected to the characters.

wonderful narrating, smart romance

I truly enjoyed this historical romance! Only Courtney Milan could make the inheritance of traits interesting! The characters, favorites since the first in the series are colorful, endearing and thetheir relationships and stories are believable and at times painful. The journey is a scientific delight, the ending worth the struggles and wait. The parts about Rakus Erectus and associated scientific names cracked me up! But the author's note at the end had me bursting into tears...the historic representation of the Violets of the world and untold stories touched me. This book took extraordinary research, it shows. Worth the credits, and Rosalyn Landor is flawless as usual.

Best so far

I LOVED this book. I'm enjoying all the books in this series but this has been my favorite so far. It has the heat I was missing from the first two, and I love the dynamic between Violet and Sebastian. This book made me laugh and cry.

Amen!!!

Thank you for recognizing women and their contributions to the sciences. Absolutely fantastic book and stay tuned until the end!

A different kind of romance, one for 'smart girls'

Even though the author obviously used some artistic creativity with the history, this story really makes you think about women, their roles in society, and how far we have come. The romance is great, love Sebastian, his personality, how he treat Violet, and the interaction between these two. There is so much to Violet and her history, her accomplishments, and what women went through before any academic freedom was available. Even with that serious side, this is a fun book and a great listen. As one of those 'smart girls' who has raised three smart girls, I could really relate to this character. I only hope history did have some good outcomes like this story, although I imagine more of the outcomes were lost names and faces of women who worked really hard. As usual this narrator is superb. I love this series, all the characters are unique and I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Eureka!!

I have listened to all the books in the series and have loved them all on their own merit. This one was different though. There is a true meaning behind the story. The dedication in the beginning was a bit ominous but the author explains at the end of the book and it all makes perfect sense. A lot of research appears to have gone into this book and I appreciate it all.
I love Sebastian and Violet. I love Rosalyn Landor.
I know in reading the authors page she really didn't plan on making this a series that went on and on. There are two more books in the works. I for one am extremely happy to know it isn't ending here.
You'll enjoy this but start from the novella...

A Dazzling Violet Intrigue

Both the sex and the science in this book rocked my world equally. I’m so thrilled to write that sentence. Historical romance has been my guilty pleasure for the longest time and it’s never felt less guilty and more exciting. I swooned and cheered and my husband sat up with listening late into the night ( with some Stategic Pauses where our inspiration carried us away) . As a survivor of sexual assault, this book is an affirmation of a gentle and generous return to pleasure. As a Botany Nerd I swooned over greenhouse dalliance and propagation discoveries. You have no idea how good period romance can get until you read this book
