About this listen

New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean returns with the next Hell's Belles novel about a chaotic bluestocking and the buttoned-up detective enlisted to keep her out of trouble (spoiler: She is the trouble).

'Hooks you with its witty, seductive banter' People

'Sarah MacLean's books are fierce' JULIA QUINN

'I will read anything Sarah MacLean writes' EMILY HENRY

'Sharp, sexy, action-packed, propulsive escapism at its absolute finest. We are lucky to be living and breathing in the Sarah Maclean era' CHRISTINA LAUREN
................

With her headful of wild curls and wilder ideas, society has labelled Lady Imogen Loveless peculiar . . . and doesn't know she's one of the Hell's Belles - a group of vigilantes operating outside the notice of most of London.

Thomas Peck is not most of London. The brilliant detective has a keen ability to see things others miss, like the fact that Imogen isn't peculiar...she's pandemonium. If you ask him, she requires a keeper. When her powerful family discovers her late-night activities, they couldn't agree more . . . and they know just the man for the task.

Thomas wants nothing to do with guarding Imogen. He is a grown man with a proper job and no time for the lady's incendiary chaos, no matter how lushly it is packaged. Yet as the gruff detective becomes caught up in Imogen's world, they each discover an unexpected but fiery passion that threatens to consume them both.

'Sublimely sensual and passionate' Kirkus Reviews

'Everything MacLean does is perfectly on point' Booklist

'Romance readers can always rely on Sarah MacLean to bring the summer heat' Bookish©2023 Sarah Trabucchi

I’m writing this a couple months after listening — can’t believe I forgot to review! I wasn’t loving this series, though I’m a big fan of the author. This is better and I look forward to the next one.

Thoroughly enjoyable

A continuing story of the "vigilante women," made up from various classes. Added to the mix are the males who have been involved. It is true that money and rank carried the day. Also the poorly paid police force were open to corruption. I just am curious why the author states, that all this unrest was caused by having a Queen on the throne.

Fantasy Universe.
