Summary
The earl’s goal was to find his missing sister. The last thing he expected to find was love.
Having spent two years abroad to avoid his father’s schemes to see him wed, Oliver Darby returns to England to claim his inheritance. As Earl of Stanton and a confirmed bachelor, he expects to settle into a comfortable life. But when he discovers his sister, Rose, is missing and has not been seen for six months, it’s evident his father is capable of manipulating events from beyond the grave.
When Nicole Flint accepted the role of paid companion to Lady Rose Darby, nothing was as it seemed. Whisked away from London to a haunted manor that once housed the insane, the two ladies are kept prisoner, with no hope of reprieve. But when an opportunity arises for one of them to escape, Nicole knows she must be the one to stay. After all, her purpose for working has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the need to hide from her controlling brother.
Thrown together in a wild adventure full of lies and deceit, guilt forces Oliver and Nicole to search for the lost Lady Rose. The overwhelming attraction that exists between them only complicates matters. He’s a man driven by passion and lust. She’s a lady looking for true love. But on their journey of discovery, both must learn that the two are inexplicably entwined.
Features: A Regency historical romance with an emphasis on mystery. This novel contains some descriptive sex scenes.

Is there a story? Or is it sexual rubbish.
The weak story is wound between his "cock stand" and her "peculiar feels in her hidden parts". Most of the story is about their lingering sexual tension. Everytime they looking at each, it overcomes all. The narrator does her best to try and improve this rubbish, but fails.

A brilliant start to the series.
My favourite genre is historical mystery romance. The Mysterious Miss Flint fits the bill perfectly. There's plenty of suspense, a few twists and a good mystery for Oliver and Nicole to solve whilst falling in love with one another. I loved the Gothic feel to the beginning of the novel where Rose and Nicole were kept under lock and key in a former asylum in the countryside. It was quite an exciting start to the story.
Oliver and Nicole made an adorable couple. I loved how much care Oliver took of Nicole and how he always took her side in any argument involving her. The ending of the story left me wanting more. I am especially intrigued about Rose and I can't wait to find out what happens next. I'm also hoping to see more from Oliver and Nicole as well.
A very entertaining book. I will definitely want to read the rest of the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy.

A captivating story
This was an excellent start to a new series. There were many layers of the mystery that were slowly revealed, along with many twists and turns. It kept me engrossed until the end. The main characters, Oliver and Nicole, had an instant attraction and some very heated moments.
The narrator used different voices to bring the characters to life, not always easy for the male parts, but she deepened her voice accordingly.
I'm looking forward to the next in this series.

I Recommend this Book!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This was very well read, it was easy to follow and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
Which character – as performed by Liisa Ivary – was your favorite?
I liked the breathless voice of Nicole and the harder 'male' voice of Oliver. They worked well together.
Any additional comments?
This was the first time I had listened to an audio book, it was very different from reading, of course. I did enjoy that I could work while having the book read to me, my mind didn't wonder the way I thought it might. But I have to admit, I do prefer reading myself.

Had to be the two most stupid lovers ever
Had high hopes for this story (and series), but after listening to this one I won't bother with the rest. Both the hero and heroine were laughably stupid and insipid. Their conversations were trite and I got to the point where I just continued listening to see how much worse it could get. The hero arrives at an asylum to rescue his sister only to find her gone. Does he make finding her a priority? No. He takes one look at the heroine and all he can do is lust, and lust, and lust. It went down hill from there. I had hoped, based on the description, that this would be a mystery and a romance, with some sex. It was just too stupid. No problems with the narrator.

Can secrets and guilt keep two people apart?
This was a fun listen, and Liisa Ivary did a wonderful job of keeping me interested with her emotions as she narrated. Nicole has been through a lot but still has the ability to trust the right person. Oliver is full of guilt and does not want closeness with anyone. I enjoyed both characters and their journeys to finding themselves and true love. I recommend this story (book or audio) and look forward to the next in the series.

Clever mystery romance
This is a romantic mystery historical novel that rolls off the pages and off the tongue of the narrator beautifully.
Oliver has very set ideas on love and lust and believes only in lust. Nicole on the other hand truly believes that love (and trust) is an essential part of any good relationship between a man and a woman. She also is very honest and isn't shy to voice her beliefs. So whose ideals will win out? Guess you will have to read/listen to this story to find out.
Be prepared for many twists and turns that will will keep you guessing about what is to happen next. You might also find yourself first routing for one of the characters and later for the other.
I loved everything about this story and hope you do too.
Note: Although this is a complete story, it continues with another adventure in book 2.
I requested and received a free copy of the audiobook and this is my voluntary and unbiased review.

Mysterious Love that Fights a Ghost
This was an exciting adventure with several twists and turns. I loved how things came together. I liked that Oliver had to overcome his dead father's schemes. The chemistry between Oliver and Miss Flint was smoking hot. Miss Flint had her own past to overcome as well. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys mystery and love scenes.

ANOTHER HIT FOR MS. CLEE
Ms. Clee has seamlessly woven historical romance and mystery into one beautifully written novel. The protagonist of the story, Miss Flint, is a strong woman who stands her ground, yet has a softness that lends herself to romance. Lord Stanton is every woman's dream; rich, intelligent, brave, and honorable. Together, they sizzle. This book ends in a cliffhanger, but it is well worth the time to read. I intend to purchase the entire series, based on the quality of this book.
Ms. Ivary has narrated this book brilliantly. Her character voices are distinctly varied and believable. The emotion she puts into the story made it very real for me. I am looking forward to listening to more from her.

Great Mix of Romance and Mystery
Oliver Darby left London to escape his father's manipulating ways. When the old Earl passed away and Oliver returned to London as the new Earl of Stanton, he discovered his father was capable of controlling events from beyond the grave. Oliver's sister, Rose, was missing, and he knew his father was behind her disappearance.
When Oliver arrived at the place where his sister was held prisoner, he found Rose gone and a companion, Nicole, in her place. Oliver and Nicole set out to search for Rose, but matters were complicated by a stolen identity, spurned lovers, a savage relative, and their undeniable attraction to each other.
This was a great mix of romance and mystery! It's the first in the series, and was all about Oliver and Nicole. Rose's story is continued in the sequel. It's a steamy read with a set of main characters that can't keep their hands off each other. It had a suspenseful plot and kept me hooked through the entire listen.
I love a strong willed and intelligent heroine, and Nicole was both. She kept a level head and usually came up with the plans. I loved that Oliver recognized her intelligence and never argued with her for the sake of having his way. He respected her and it showed in their every interaction. I loved their dialogue and the way they teased each other. They really had great chemistry.
The narration was done well, she performed different voices for each character and read dramatically. It was a great performance, especially her voices for Oliver and Nicole. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

this was a great escape
Oliver Darby has spent the last two years in Italy in an effort to avoid his father's machinations. With his father now dead Oliver has returned to England as the new Earl of Stanton to claim his inheritance and settle into comfortable bachelorhood. When he arrives to find his sister, Rose, has been missing for six months, he realizes his father's duplicity went even deeper than he'd realized.
Desperate to escape her greedy, abusive brother and sister-in-law, Nicole Flint took on the role of paid companion to Lady Rose Darby. The position turned out to be nothing she expected, with both she and Rose held prisoner in a former asylum. When a chance arises for one of them to escape, Nicole knows it must be Rose who leaves. After all, Nicole merely needs to stay hidden from her brother, so it makes more sense for her to stay behind.
When Oliver arrives to save his sister only to find her gone, he and Nicole find themselves unraveling an elaborate web of lies. The attraction between them causes further complication and distraction they can't afford, especially when Oliver believes in passion but not love and Nicole is a romantic looking for her one true love. To find Rose, and themselves, they must both reevaluate everything they thought they knew about life and love.
I really enjoyed the gothic feel and mystery of this one. It was rather different and refreshing compared to what I've been reading as of late. I listened to the audiobook version and the narration was lovely and enhanced the book. This was a new to me narrator but I'll look for more of her work and continue this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
