An Irresistible Alliance

De: Stephanie Laurens

Narrado por: Matthew Brenher

With his older brother's betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed of all familial expectations. But the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother and his fiancée have been assisting with and volunteers to help by hunting down a hoard of gunpowder now stashed somewhere in London.

Michael's quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where his sole source of information is the fetchingly attractive Miss Cleome Hendon. When Michael asks about the carters who transported the gunpowder, Cleo offers him a bargain: she will lead him to the carters he seeks, but only if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission.

But their investigation proves dangerous, and the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. Soon Michael and Cleo find themselves tangled in a fight for their lives - one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all: a shared life, a shared future, a shared love.

Disappointed in the ending

I was disappointed in the ending it did not have enough closure to the story it just abruptly stopped

This is a interest book but I was waiting to find the rest of the book?

I enjoy the Book. Is there another book that I could buy. To me it was just getting started. Two brother were going to get Married. Did they ever find the
Gun Powder. I would like to know. If I had of know this I would not have listen to it.

Not My Cup of Tea

This performance by Matthew Brenher was not my cup of tea. While he has a wonderful speaking voice, the reading was rather boring and yet imperious. I appreciate that he had a British accent, but there was not enough difference in tone to keep me interested - and I've read the book before! I stopped this one after only a little while.

continue to thrill

welldone,

women'svoices continue to bt a issue. of comcern. still wonder why a woman and a man can not do the books together. the women voice are at times even funny and distracts from the story.

Enjoyable Series

Following in his brothers footsteps, Michael is trying to find the missing barrels of dynamite. On his mission, he meets Chloe Hendon of the Hendon shipping yard. Chloe, knowing the shipping business is exceptional in helping Michael find the missing barrels of dynamite. Along the way, she is determined to find the culprits killing innocent people. Has she and Michael work together, they find that they are attracted to each other and want something more from each other. Enjoyable Romance and mystery. Narrator was good.

Series Continues

Enjoying the series and the continuation of the family stories. Have been following this series from the beginning.

A resist able attraction

Narrator spoil much loved characters in a so so story.
The Cynsters deserve better than this

Good Mystery

I liked that the bulk of this book focused on the story rather than on sex.

Story too long

Started out well, but plot stagnates and never really picks up again.

Also, what is up with using “female” for woman? Please please stop this!

The ending was rather abrupt and didn’t wrap the mystery up

Forcing you to go to the next book in the series, which I did, but I (incorrectly apparently) thought this was a stand alone novel.
