New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan continues her bestselling Rogue Files series with this captivating romance that will thrill her many fans.

She doesn’t care about love…

Despite being surrounded by her happily wed sisters, Nora Langley prefers botany to ballrooms and would rather spend a lifetime in her laboratory than consider affairs of the heart. An expert herbalist, Nora has been masquerading as her late physician father for years, dispensing invaluable medical advice. She corresponds with people all over the world, including an old army colonel. But when the man shows up on her doorstep, he is nothing like she expected—he is a young, handsome heir to a dukedom who suddenly threatens everything she holds dear.

He only cares about duty…

Constantine Sinclair arrives on the Langley doorstep in a desperate bid to save the woman who raised him, the Duchess of Birchwood … only to discover that the venerable doctor he expected is a bold and lovely charlatan. Furious at the deception, he vows to reveal her secrets. Determined to prove her skills, Nora promises to save the duchess in exchange for Con keeping her secret. Con reluctantly agrees… and soon Nora’s brilliant, headstrong ways are throwing his carefully controlled life into chaos. What happens when the rigid soldier begins to lose his grip on his heart?

I loved Nora! She is funny, intrepid and is both self assured and insecure. Constantine’s character development was excellent as he struggled to find himself and Nora. Loved the performance as well!

Funny, romantic, historical

This is my second time reading this book series. I enjoyed it even more after the second round. This book is good but I feel like the ending was too quick and short. I wish that there was something that brought all the three sisters back together for Nora and Constantine's wedding. Possibly one more romantic scene with them would have been nice. again it was a good story and I enjoyed it but just the ending there could have been a little bit more to wrap up the whole series.

Enjoyed

It was a decent enough story that compelled me to listen in the first place. For such a smart and clever heroine, she really does not know the world at all. Maybe that was the point? There was so much over thinking on both characters parts, that they barely said anything to each other. All thinking and no talking makes for a very dull book. And the sex scene we waited for at the end was lack luster at best. Love the idea of the book, disliked the execution.

Too much thinking, not enough dialogue

I enjoyed this listen! I wish there was a bit more character development between the MMC and MFC, their love felt a bit abrupt and the sexual tension wasn’t as organically built up as I would have hoped but all in all the story was sweet and the narration good. I’ll try more of the author.

Cute and light
