Summary

When Miss Elizabeth Waterstone encounters the enigmatic Duke of Diable Delamere in the most shocking of circumstances, she is determined to exploit his rakish expertise to the fullest extent. The duke agrees to teach her everything she needs to know but in return expects to receive her unwitting cooperation to uncover an assassination plot against the monarchy. But Elizabeth is hard to deceive, and the duke finds himself needing more than her innocent skills in his bed. Together they must use their remarkable abilities to thwart a villain, save the Prince Regent, and accidentally and inevitably fall in love.

I just couldn't

Pros- the narrator is better than average for a period drama audiobook. I would listen to her again. It's also not the worst story I've ever listened to and if you're very interested in lots of steamy scenes, you'll love this.

Cons- lots of plot holes! Why doesn't the main character just say her brother is an invalid who needs a nurse?! who knows - it's not like it's a secret. Certainly would have cut out a good couple of hours of this book!

The premise is ridiculous so no I won't be listening to the others in this series.

SOFT PORN - B-MOVIE STYLE ....

I am terribly sorry to say that THIS BOOK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HISTORICAL, NOR REGENCY NOVEL ....
The story line which intrigued me - which could have been good is spoilt by Sex, Sex and more Sex - not even well written ...

It reminded me of a BAD B-MOVIE TYPE SEX PLOT -

Anyone who loves real Historical Regency Novels will be very disappointed as the author, Kate Pearce, fails as such - sorry to be so blunt!

The performance of Julie Maisey cannot be criticised, as she only narrated what was in front of her - and she did a great job but it doesn't change the fact that THIS BOOK IS AWFUL.

I am writing this review so blunt for one simple reason, to prevent others to lured by the storyline, like I was.

I certainly will not bother looking up any more books written by Kate Pearce - WASTE OF MONEY & WASTE OF TIME...

Not bad.

Once you have suspended belief that the two main characters would have come to such an agreement in 1814, the story is not bad. The narration is first class.

Liberal sprinklings of sex

Kate Pearce writes well and Juliet Maisey 's performance is good. It's an unlikely story but still quite enjoyable.

An enjoyable read

Elizabeth Waterstone, complying with her stepfather’s command, has to work in the household of the Duc de Diablo Delamer to pay off his gambling debts. Once the Duc discovers she’s not been sent there as a prostitute they find another way in which she can comply with her stepfather’s wishes, one involving spies, codes an assassination plots.
I found the story a little flimsy at first but it got better.
The narrator’s use of accents was good and the whole narration was well done.

Absolutely Brilliant

I loved this book. Everything from the plot & the different characters.
I figured it was a good book when I found myself shouting my frustrations into mid air. if a book can get me that animated, then it must be good.
I'm now off to listen to the next book to see where the story goes next.
I would definitely recommend it.
