À propos de cet audio

Meet Her Majesty’s Rebels: three brilliant women who run King Co., London’s most exclusive investigative agency …

The wedding-night death of her much older husband left Tess Townsend the Dowager Duchess of Wansford—and still a virgin. Now she and her two best friends investigate London’s most scandalous crimes, and while Tess longs to experience physical pleasure for herself, she can’t risk losing her treasured independence …

Cynical shipping magnate Justin Thornton never expected to inherit a dukedom, but he’ll do his duty. When the ravishing woman he kissed at a party turns out to be the Dowager Duchess, Justin sees an obvious solution: a marriage of convenience that will suit them both.

But the passion that sparks between them is anything but convenient. As Tess works on a new case at the request of Queen Charlotte, her increasingly suspicious behavior makes Justin question her motives—and her past. The infuriating woman clearly can’t be trusted, but Justin doesn’t believe in love, so there’s absolutely no danger of him falling for his own wife … is there?

KATE BATEMAN’s writing is: “Brimming with intrigue, passion, and humor.”—Publishers Weekly “Pure fun.”—BookPage

I quite enjoyed this book. I loved all the characters and appreciated the witty discussions about men between the three ladies—sometimes disparaging and always risqué.

I don’t like it when the male protagonist is borderline mean to the heroine, so I was glad that was not the case here. Justin could sometimes say hurtful things, but he never intended to be that way; there were just, as usual in these books, too many secrets and misunderstandings to get through for the wrong things to not be said sometimes.

I think the author has some real talent, not just in terms of story-telling but also in her phrasing and sensitive descriptions of the perceptions the main characters had of each other.

There was just enough glorious smut in the story to be satisfying, and we weren’t driven mad by a burn that goes on just a trifle too long. I love the premise of a virgin becoming wanton once she discovers the joy of sex, and this book delivered.

If you are into regency romances that are not entirely innocent in the telling, you will likely love this one.

Enjoyable listen
