About this listen

In the first novel of an explosive new series from K. J. Charles, a young gentleman and his elegant mentor fight for love in a world of wealth, power, and manipulation. When he learns that he could be the heir to an unexpected fortune, Harry Vane rejects his past as a radical fighting for government reform and sets about wooing his lovely cousin. But his heart is captured instead by the most beautiful, chic man he’s ever met: the dandy tasked with instructing him in the manners and style of the ton. Harry’s new station demands conformity - yet the one thing he desires is a taste of the wrong pair of lips. After witnessing firsthand the horrors of Waterloo, Julius Norreys sought refuge behind the luxurious facade of the upper crust. Now he concerns himself exclusively with the cut of his coat and the quality of his boots. And yet his protégé is so unblemished by cynicism that he inspires the first flare of genuine desire Julius has felt in years. He cannot protect Harry from the worst excesses of society. But together they can withstand the high price of passion.

I was already a big fan of KJ Charles' work. She delivers once again a beautiful and suspenseful romance. Definitely worth a read!
I was hesitant to pick the audiobook instead of the written version, but, dear god, am I happy to have picked it up. The narration is amazing. Matthew Lloyd Davies does a great job of giving each character a distinct voice and of transmitting the emotion. The performance really adds intensity, so do yourself a favor and try it!

A beautiful romance and a delightful narration

I have read and loved KJ Charles for years. Discovering this series (and others) in audiobook format has allowed me to enjoy these books all over again as if new. Mathew L Davies has become one of my favourite naarotors. Perfect match!

K.J Charles & Mathew L Davies are a perfect match!

I acknowledge the narrator's dedication in keeping the characters separate through the way he speaks, it really did give the audiobook a little extra. The romance in the story was splendid, and I love how the story ties into different stories that will be upcoming and gives depth to this world that KJ Charles has created. Can't wait to listen to the next one, I'll be sure to wear more loose fitting knickers... oh heavens! lol.

Engaging story, beautiful romance of two people

After two attempts to read this on my kindle, I was delighted to see if offered by Audible Plus. I just had to get to chapter 3 and was thoroughly hooked!

I found the initial premise of the first two characters a simple set up, high born young man discovered working in the slums of London, who is tutored in the ways of high class regency England. But it is more than that. While it missed the humourous wit from the Magpie series, I found I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and was fascinated by the background of the perils of the "seditious" politicial press.

And the narration was spot on!

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Quite Splendid!

Enjoyable enough, though the plot made no sense and was full of deus ex machinas and childish "good guys win, bad guys lose" resolutions.

Extremely average
