About this listen
The first book in Amanda Scott’s acclaimed Dangerous series journeys from the battlefields of Waterloo to the ballrooms and boudoirs of London, where a deadly deception unfolds....
Engaged by proxy to a man she’s never met, Lady Daintry Tarrant is dismayed when the war hero returns, introducing himself as her fiancé, Lord Penthorpe. She cherishes her independence and has turned away many suitors, but this one she must marry. Penthorpe is completely captivated by Lady Daintry - but he’s not who he claims to be.
Penthorpe and Lord Gideon Deverill fought together at the battle of Waterloo, and when Penthorpe fell, Gideon assumed his identity in order to see the beautiful Lady Daintry. Gideon knows there’s bad blood between Lady Daintry’s family and his own, but he’s smitten with Daintry and determined to reunite the bitterly feuding clans. When a ghost from Gideon’s past appears, he could lose everything - including Daintry’s love.

Sexual Abuse Content Warning Required
Unfortunately this book has a lot of gaslighting, physical and sexual abuse content. For anyone looking for a light recency romance this is not it. the plot is dark and can be triggering for some people not matching with the short blurb for the book. if you are looking for something darker great choice, if not move on.

Interesting story
This well-narrated story had an interesting plot line driven by the antics of diverse characters most of whom I found to be overbearingly opinionated, selfishly self-absorbed, or cruel and misogynistic. Thankfully there were some good or well intentioned characters in the mix.
This is yet another HR that really pushes the reader/listener to confront the ugly reality of women’s rights of the time, or rather the lack thereof. Where, women transition from the responsibility and ‘protection’ of their parent/s to that of their husband, with their happiness depending greatly upon the love and values within the home and whether they’re luckily enough to find a love match (or at least a decent human being) once introduced to society.
There are no examples of happy marriages in this book but there is the potential of one for Daintry- if only she can overcome her doubts of Gideon’s intentions which have been shaped by her exposure to her family member’s marriages, the influence of her great aunt and an old rift that runs decades deep.
Truthfully, I found Daintry frustrating at times, but when I put her situation into context, I very much see where she’s coming from. Her family were toxic and despite this she was a wonderful influence on her young nieces in an environment that seemed to lack much joy. In hindsight she composed herself amazingly. I would’ve thrown my toys of the cot if it were me! Thank goodness this story had a few good men!
That said, I am pleased with the ending and am eager to listen to the next book in the series. I recommend.

Another cracking story
I definitely disliked Sir Jeffery or is it Geoffrey? That’s the trouble with talking books-one cannot always get the spelling correct. However, kin the taster for book 2 there was no denying voice representing the villain. It looks like it’ll be as good as Book 1 which kept me interested to the end. As for feisty females there was plenty of examples shown by a couple of the characters. Well done.

The story had possibilities however…
I’m not sure if it was the dialogue or the narrator but couldn’t get past chapter 5. Awful 😞

it was an assassination
I cannot tell you if this was a well written story or not. the narrator just shouted in monotone through the entire thing, not did she respect sentence structure.. it was an assassination of the written word! I kept thinking she will calm and I will be able to focus... but no, in that she was consistent to the end. just horrendous
