At the notorious Hell and Sin Club nestled in London's dark streets, Niall Marksman relishes taking the fortunes of the very same society that once disregarded his existence.

The Lady's Guard

Very good granted its important to read the first two at least the second one. Worth the money but it did suck that the last 2 were more $ than the first 2. I enjoyed Christi Caldwell never heard of her until Audible.

Great story..I love the look I to the different classes...

Loved the story.it is a nice history lesson. Pink beaches and sky blue water. Loved it

Great storytelling!!

Christi, I quite enjoyed the entire series. It is disgusting how we have treated our children in the past and frightening how we continue to do so today. Great twist on fate, that boys from the bottom of the foodchain would do well and enter the “nobility”. Loved the storylines. Great imagery and characters.

Tim Campbell was the perfect narrator. Tim you truly brought the characters to life. Great job on characterization and accents. Thank you 😊

TWO TORTURED LONELY SOULS

This is the first time I have given a book in Sinful Bride series 5 stars. The Lady's Guard was excellent. It picks up a year after bk.2 The Scoundrel's Honor. This is the story of Lady Dianna Verney the Legitimate Daughter of the Duke of Wilkinson.

Niall Marksman is co owner of the Hell and Sin Club a notorious gaming hell in St. Giles. Niall is head of the Security for the club. All of the owners of the club grew up together in the rookeries of St. Giles, stealing, killing and all sort of crimes to keep alive. They were also, badly abused by the older men who hired made them commit these crimes. But Niall's and his street brother got out and build a successful and very profitable Gaming Club.

I loved Lady Diana she is just a hurt and very lonely soul but she is rich, beautiful, very young and the daughter of a rich Duke. Diana's mother the Duchess of Wilkinson had tried to kill her husband The Dukes Illegitimate children Ryker Black primary owner of the Hell and Sin club and his sister Helena. Diana had no idea they existed. Once the Ton found out about it Diana and her father were of course ostracized from polite society. Diana's father has gone into a state of mourning, he loved his mistress and never knew what had happen to her and his children by her. He had never shown Diana that love and she felt it was because he never loved her mother. You can really feel Diana's pain she is just unwanted and this is a fact. She is so kind, intelligent and beautiful but terribly lonely and neglected. Some one is trying to kill her. Her father doesn't believe her but after the 3rd attempt she decides to seek the help of her Half Brother Ryker Black. Who she believes doesn't want to have anything to do with her. He has not contacted her or invited her to his wedding, so she is not sure if he will help. Especially after what her mother did to his mother and him and his sister.

Ryker helps her by sending Niall to guard her. Niall hates the peerage. He hates this job of guarding the Princess. But brave Diana breaks down his defenses with her kindness and bravery. Niall comes to see she is not a high minded lady of the Ton but is very much a mistreated soul like himself.

The build up to Naill and Diana falling in love is just beautifully done. There dialog is believable. They are two tortured lonely souls that find each other and a everlasting love. The ending was so perfect!! This is a Must Read but read the other two books first because they connect.

Sooo good

The only thing I dislike about Christi Caldwell books are the dry endings! We need epilogues for god sake woman!! I feel cheated. Surely you can muscle up 5 more brilliant pages to finish off these beautiful stories? Overall, breathtaking beautiful. On to the next one 😊

Brilliant

Another fantastic book by the Queen of Regency Christi. Loved it from the first page, grittier and exciting. Would define recommend

Great her

Without a doubt one of my all time favorite heroes ever. Haven't geared up over a romance in a long time. Two people who shouldn't be together but are perfect for each other! The voice performance is flawless as usual.

Intriguing story

I thought the story had some substance this time, but kind of went around in circles throughout, and then ended rather abruptly.

Delicious...yum 😉

I honestly don’t know how anyone could give this book ‘The Lady’s Guard’ a bad review? Let’s think about it real quick, this is Part 3, and it’s all about sinful delights.. So the characters don’t need ‘3 dimensions’ they need to come over as believable and they were! I loved it! I stayed up till 5 am to finish it, that’s how much I adored the characters and their story.

Plus and a big plus..I’m in love with Tim Campbell’s voice! Can he read to me daily!! Yum..yum 😘😘

5 stars ⭐️ plus!

Wonderful Story

A wonderful story about love and the realization of how not all people are what they seem. This is one of the best performances I have ever heard. Kudos to Tim Campbell.
