About this listen

Miss Wilhelmina "Mina" Crawford is desperate. Having been ruined in the eyes of society years ago for one foolish, starry-eyed mistake, she spends her days secreted away at her family's crumbling estate, helping her brother manage the land but not able to truly live life the way she's always dreamed. When her brother admits to just how dire their finances have gotten, she takes it upon herself to procure employment . . . but the only one who will even consider the scandalous idea of a female secretary is the brilliant, ruthless, and infuriating Earl of Creswick.

Simon Loughton, the Earl of Creswick, needs help if he wants to finally pass the reform bill he's been championing for years and secure the vote for England's most vulnerable constituents. Too bad help comes in the form of a woman with breathtaking nerve, fiery red hair, and a sense of humor to match.

Now temptation—disguised as a lovely, clever-mouthed devil—lives and works under Simon's very roof. And Mina finally feels as though she's truly living life to her wildest dreams. But even the most incendiary of kisses can't incinerate Mina's past . . . or the shocking secret that could ruin them both.

Contains mature themes.

Loved every second of this story. I love all of Staving Reid's books her stories are so lovely. The narrator says OK. She was much better than of the narrator of the other series I listened to.

Struggled to listen to the end. Kept skipping large parts. Found it boring and tedious. And the narration didn't help. wouldn't recommend

Not great

I have enjoyed this book a lot and went through it quickly!

However, although it centers on all the right topics of equality of rights between men and women and the rich and poor, it falls on the most spectacular working cliche, the secretary-to-lover.
Moreover, the progressive and forward thinking act of hiring her as his secretary, is completely destroyed once the love blossoms, as it confirms the society’s conservative view that a woman working for a man will be more prone to dishonorable (for the time) acts like intimacy before marriage.

Nevertheless, it’s en enjoyable read!

Enjoyable book
