About this listen

Nathaniel, the new Baron Felston, awakes from a fever to discover he's a prisoner on his own estate. At first, certain he's gone insane, Nathaniel learns potent opiates are the cause of his strange vision. But, barricaded in a small room, he can't outwit his mysterious jailer.

Determined to steal back one of her father's swords, Florrie Cadero gets more than she bargained for when she breaks into the baron's mansion. The dashing, drugged man in the locked room soon sweeps her into his story - and his bed. When she discovers they're trapped together, she devises a clever escape. Addicted to his captor's drugs and bent on revenge, Nathaniel seeks out the feisty thief who freed him. Florrie, now a shopgirl, has foresworn her life of adventure. But Nathaniel's offer of employment intrigues her. Together they must break his addiction and expose the villain who would destroy his life.

Originally published as The Mad Baron by Summer Devon. This version includes the first chapter of The Powder of Love.

The storyline started off really interesting but then became more about them. If you’re looking for something with a lot of sexy scenes then this is a good one but if you want something with more of a storyline then maybe miss this one. Overall I did like it but not a favourite.

Liked but more sexy than story.

The best thing about this audiobook was the narration. I too agree that the premise was really interesting. It all started out strongly but then fell way short of its potential as it progressed. By ch.12 I was questioning whether I liked Florrie and beyond that I was sure I didn’t. She seemed to blow hot and cold which saw Nate walking on eggshells and hoping that she wouldn’t run. Despite his emotionally austere upbringing and the harrowing ordeal experienced he seemed to have more emotional intelligence and self awareness of his own behaviour than she did. As such I found her increasing annoying. These two seemed to use sex as the means to address their angst. It too got really tedious and I found myself rolling my eyes towards the end or forwarding through to the next bit in the hope the story would take an interesting turn. Sadly for me it didn’t.

Not the best work by this author.
