About this listen

In this stunning series debut from New York Times best-selling author Madeline Hunter, a duke's mysterious bequest brings fortune - and passion - to three young women....

Minerva Hepplewhite has learned the hard way how to take care of herself. When an intruder breaks into her home, she doesn't swoon or simper. Instead she wallops the rogue over the head and ties him up - only to realize he is Chase Radnor, the man who nearly got her convicted of her late husband's murder. Now, he's insisting that Minerva has inherited a fortune from his uncle, a wealthy duke. Only one thing could surprise her more: her sudden attraction to this exasperating man....

Chase can't decide whether Minerva is a wronged woman or a femme fatale. Either way, he's intrigued. Since the scandal surrounding her husband's death, she has set up a discreet detective business to rival Chase's own. She may be the perfect person to help him uncover the truth about his uncle's demise. But as proximity gives way to mutual seduction, Chase realizes he craves a much deeper alliance....

Truly enjoyed listening to Minerva and Chase’s story. A great pace and well written story of three women who become beneficiary of a stranger’s generosity. Will be listening to the other stories in this series. Great narration by Beverly A Crick.

A great story

I like the characters and the way they mix skills.

Although the narrator is good after a while it feels like there are about 7 uses of the word ‘inquiry’ per ten words and the pronunciation is completely bizarre. I think the narrator should pronounce it properly since the author doesn’t seem to know any other word for ‘inquiry’ (it’s not an INK-worry a it’s an ‘inqu-I-ry’. I as in ‘high’ not ‘uh’. Weird.

If you’re going to read it in British accents use British English- this strange style is disorientating and irritating.

Otherwise the voices are good.

Interesting plot

I really liked the performance. I liked her tone and how she let the story roll. I read the reviews about her pronouncing the word inquiries (thats the spelling in the book). I guess it can be a bit annoying to some listeners as the word is used so many times, but for me I liked her way of reading. The story is also interesting and does keep onw wanting to know what actually happened.

I enjoyed the characters and the plot is plausible and well thought through. I did not enjoy 'enquiry' being pronounced as 'in kwerrie'. The word is used repeatedly and became irritating in the extreme.

Much better than expected
