About this listen

With his older brother's betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed of all familial expectations. But the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother and his fiancée have been assisting with and volunteers to help by hunting down a hoard of gunpowder now stashed somewhere in London.

Michael's quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where his sole source of information is the fetchingly attractive Miss Cleome Hendon. When Michael asks about the carters who transported the gunpowder, Cleo offers him a bargain: she will lead him to the carters he seeks, but only if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission.

But their investigation proves dangerous, and the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. Soon Michael and Cleo find themselves tangled in a fight for their lives - one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all: a shared life, a shared future, a shared love.

The soft porn was not original as Michael’s lovemaking was just like his brother’s. Almost a direct lift from the first book, I’d suggest. Also the narration is monotonous. No feeling. But they were both free, so who am I to complain.

Still don’t know who did it at the end of book 2

Rather long winded and boring but it was free. Narration did not suit story

Not for me

I went along with it until the hero invites the heroine to call him by his first name at their first meeting. I had already gritted my teeth at the heroine - a young unmarried lady - being left alone in charge of the family business while her parents were in the country and her brothers in the Americas. It became even more outlandish and I threw in the towel.

Ridiculous

This is a continuation of a “who done it” at the end we still don’t know but it’s an easy listen with good authors and complex story that keeps you guessing… I still have no idea but like how this is a sequel to another book of the authors I heard before! Going to go hunt for next in series!

Slow burner but not typical romance
