Story
Gorgeous, stubborn Esme Brentmor, daughter of a disgraced lord, is used to a wild, dangerous life among the tribes of Albania, to whom her father is the legendary, controversial Red Lion whose death she's courageously vowed to avenge - even if it leads to her own. Instead, her quest finds her rescued by the most unlikely (and very reluctant) hero! Lazy and spoiled, Lord Varian St. George has gambled away his heritage and lives on his considerable looks, charm and wits.

Life for Victoria Lacey should be perfect. And it is - perfectly boring. Agree to marry a lord who has yet to inspire a single, solitary tingle? Why, of course. Smile as though this is not the thousandth time he's mentioned hounds and hunting? It's all in a day's work for the oh-so-proper sister of the Duke of Blackmore. Surely no one would suspect her secret longing for heart-racing, head-spinning passion. Except, perhaps, a dark stranger...on a terrace...at a ball where she should definitely not be kissing a man she has only just met.

Lady Olivia refuses to repeat her siblings’ scandalous mistakes. Instead, she will marry the lord rejected by her sister and help with his good works. When he resists, Olivia forms another plan: win his lordship’s admiration by helping his illegitimate best friend find a bride. How difficult can it be to transform the rakish Edward Wolcott into a gentleman? To ignore his virile good looks? To not kiss him in a moment of impulsive madness? Apparently, very difficult indeed.

But this proud nobleman also possesses a loyal, passionate heart - and it is this fierce loyalty that has brought Colonel Lord Aidan to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier's request.

Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety.

Summary
Devlin Markham, the notorious "Devil Duke" of Huntington, needs a woman. And not just any woman. If he can't woo one of the most eccentric bluestockings of the Ton within the month, he can kiss his hard-earned fortune good-bye. But he's always thought love a wasted emotion and marriage an inconvenience at best. And oddly enough, Lady Sophie Wolcott seems unmoved by his charm....
When Sophie learns her beloved orphanage is in imminent danger, she will do anything to save it. Even marry a ruthless rake who takes what he wants in business and pleasure - a man who's everything she's always feared most - but whom she reluctantly begins yearning for.
Then Sophie becomes the target of a killer lurking from the dark shadows of Devlin's past. And they find not only their lives in jeopardy but their very hearts.
Contains mature themes.

INTERESTING TWISTS AND TURNS
A very enjoyable story. I had not listened to a historical romance in a while, and I was glad to have picked this one.
Loved the main characters. Very stubborn the two of them.
Love comes slowly for two people who don’t believe in it, or don’t want anything to do with it.
Good twists and turns. I thought I had the villain figured out, but I was wrong which was a nice surprise.
The narration was excellent.
It was worth the credit, so I would recommend it.

refreshing combination, but..
Over the top, overly dramatic, and poignant, this love story was funny and heartwarming with interesting, strong characters you could care about. Fans of Amanda Quick will probably like this book.
This book has a suspenseful, twisty subplot that kept me guessing, but the violent scenes, especially juxtaposed against sweet interactions between the two main characters, made me cringe a tiny bit. I think some readers, not expecting, for example, a torture scene in a romance novel, might be unpleasantly surprised.
Overall, I thought it was a fresh combination of romance and well-developed mystery that I'd never experienced in a romance novel. This author really has a talent with mystery and I look forward to see what direction she goes with her writing in the future.

Ms. Michaels first novel is a winner in my book!
I love the suspense factor in this book! It is both a murder mystery as well as a historical romance. For a debut book Maddison Michaels has hit the mark. I can hardly wait for her 10th book if this is a sample of her early writings.
I was guessing until the very end on who the murder was. There is great chemistry between Sophie and Devlin. I adored the play between Devlin and Danial, Sophie's protective older brother. There is some violence. The killer has killed several times. I have read much more graphic torture scenes in Medieval romance.There is only one sex scene but it is done well.
Ms Michaels is one of my "Buy as soon as the book is released" authors.
I absolutely adore Justine Eyre. I think she is an amazing narrator. She does several different voices and dialect well. I can't praise her enough on her performance.
Definitely recommend both the author and the narrator.

I enjoyed this book. Had some twists and turns and kept me guessing who the murderer was. There is one bedroom scene. On a scale of 1 to 5 it’s a 3 for sizzle.

Great mystry & romance
This is the first time I have read this author and really loved the writing. It was alittle slow in some places, but I found the mystry great and did not guess the killer until the very end.
The H/H spent a lot of time together and when they evolved to the point where they felt love, it was believable. I liked both the H/H and they did not do the usual "stupid" things to move the plot along. They seemed to act in character.
I can hardly wait for the next book from this author. The story was so good I even liked the narrator, which I normally find a little problematic.
This book was worth the credit and I recommend it. A nice holiday read.

GREAT NARRATION BY JUSTINE EYRE
Devlin Markham Duke of Huntington needs to run telegraph lines across Queen Victoria's lands. So he goes to meet with her. In turn for her permission to run the telegraph lines. He must marry. Queen Victoria feels it time for him to marry and produce and heir to his Prestigious Dukedom. After all he is one of the most powerful and riches peers in all of England. The queen has also picked his bride. Lady Sophie Wolcott sister to an Earl.
Devlin had met Lady Sophie at his house party when she had fallen out of a tree and landed in the azalea bushes. Sophie works diligently at Greys Orphanage as a volunteer raising money and teaching the orphans skills that will help them gain employment. She had done so with one such orphan and who became a friend Jane. Jane has become a maid. But she overhears some disturbing nefarious plot that cause her to run. Jane is viscously murdered. This opens the plot for a pretty good "who done it" murder mystery and why three servants working in titled households have been murdered.
Devlin makes a marriage proposal that Sophie cannot refuse. There attraction grows and together they set out to find out who murdered Jane and who stole Sophie's mail. One of her footmen is found murdered too.
What I really liked was the way Devlin and Sophie grow into love. It's what I call a slow burn. Sophie is head strong and Devlin is trying to protect her from a murderer. But is the murder really just after Sophie or is there some other reason or person the murderer wants to kill?
This was a really entertaining story. I was surprised at how much I liked it. I am not a murder mystery fan. Its well written. A team of really good secondary characters. Like Aunt Mable. Unveiling the murdered was well written with a twist to it.

Enjoyable story, enjoyable characters
Satisfying growth of affection between the hero and heroine, with what we all love: fun banter and reparte. I had avoided the book based on a review that claimed Devlin was too harsh, giving orders, or something to that effect. I’m glad I took a chance because I personally didn’t have at all the same reaction. He did order her sometimes: to stay safe, etc. and Sophie was in no way a meek heroine, only obliging when he added a please. I would have liked to have had the murder mystery a little more explained towards the end, tying up the loose ends and explaining the point of murdering serving girls, etc. The bad guy is definitely a surprise, if nothing else.

A bit too graphically violent
Sophie is a well drawn heroine & Devlin an intriguing Duke. Well written but I really prefer less gory detail about murders. Because of this aspect, it’s not a book I will want to listen to again. Even though Justine Eyre reads it magnificently, I don’t like the visions of violence the author conjures in such detail.
