Critic reviews

"Risk, deception, and desire all come together brilliantly in Beverley's latest delectably, sexy, and wickedly witty Regency historical." ( Booklist)

Part of the Company of Rogues series

In their school-days at Harrow, a student with a natural leadership temperament had organized a club, so to speak, of invited fellow students. Now, though they're all more than ten years older and all are living quite different lives, those friendships are still steady, healthy rewarding elements in their lives. It's a great series!

The narration pulled me in!

Simon Prebble has such an elegant way of narrating that he captures you. With every twist and turn, you were plunged into the emotions, the details and flow of the story, that you forget you're in the present. Brava!!!

Surprise

I jumped in the middle of this series- always a risk- I enjoyed it. I usually listen with a timer to help me fall asleep but it few so intense that I found myself renewing the timer three times and was wide wake intently listening. One reason I liked it is because it showed a perfectly intelligent woman who although in love made good choices with her man- no manipulation or emotional sabotage The contrast with her cousin’s character was also significant.

Good but not satisfied

The storyline was different from other books which was a nice change but not really true to the description. I liked the book but didn’t love it. I wanted more depth in their love and the intimate scenes felt glossed over even though there were only two. One which was at the Very end.

Wonderful unique stories ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I laugh, cry, and wonder what is next with each unique complex characters.
I haven’t finished the whole serie yet; but in looking forward to listening to the rest of the books

Narrator was perfect

Story did not have enough romance dragged on about history of main characters not enough happiness a sad story

Excellent!!!!!

Absolutely loved this book, one of the best in the series. It gives you adventure, intrigue, mystery, murder and romance with the best narration ever !!

Good story overall

I enjoyed this book a lot. Simon Prebble was perfection as always. I liked that Thea was reluctant at first but then when she fell she never wavered after that. I felt so much for Derian. So hard for him to live with his family's past evil.

I recommend.
