Summary

From USA Today best-selling author C. J. Archer, this romantic historical mystery will take your breath away.

Seven years ago a woman with too many secrets and a man with too many lies fell in love. Then she left him.

Isabel's quiet life as an assistant to one of London's famous apothecaries hides a deadly secret. A secret that could see her put on trial for witchcraft if the authorities uncover the truth. But when the authority figure who turns up at her shop is Sir Nicholas Merritt, she's at risk of losing more than her life. She could lose her heart and soul, and the man she loves.

Royal spy Sir Nicholas Merritt can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon Isabel during an investigation. He's been searching for her for seven long years and now he has her again, in his bed and his life. Except she's resisting all the way. Worse still, she's somehow tangled up with a plot to assassinate the queen. To hold onto her this time, he must find out why she left him while hiding a secret of his own that could tear them apart forever.

A good start to a new series

A good storyline.Furat one worked out villain, knowing now how Author's mind is working. Although I enjoyed book, just little too much sexual referral for me. Like the more heroic adventure.

Great listen!

Really enjoyed this book. It was full of action and romance. The narrator is one of my favourites. Finished listening in a couple of days.

enjoyed the first book

Good mystery, took a long time to work out the culprit, with some characters to love and some to lothe.

Cool intrigue set in medieval London

The main intrigue is very interesting and the way the red herrings have been placed was really well done. I thought I had it all figured out and then BAM! The steamy bits were a bit much and the constant asides of the characters INTEREST in each other at very inappropriate times was a bit heavy handed. The narrator has a lisp which was quite distracting

Really enjoyable!

Pleasantly surprised by this Audible Plus find - it was a good story with well developed characters, suspense and pace. Would definitely pick up other books by the author

Not the same quality as her other books.

Not for me, felt like listening to a smutty book a lot of the time. I prefer The Glass & Steel & Cleopatra Fox stories.

The story idea

Good god. This narrators robotic voice is difficult listen to. Lack of emotion lack of intonation, especially the sex scenes. But it’s a good story so I am ploughing on. If the same narrator does the sequel though I will have to give it a miss

Unanticipated erotica.

I thought I had read the blurb, I really don't recall it being made clear it was Jilly Cooper meets witchcraft. If that's your bag I'm sure you'll love it. First audiobook I haven't seen through to the end so am unable to comment on story, characters or narration. Just a no thanks from me.

A potentially great little mystery spoiled by pointless sex scenes

If I wanted to read about throbbing manhoods then I'd read 50 shades. I gave up when sex scene to chapter ratio approached 1:2 and got in the way of a good plot.
