About this listen

Anthony Blake is in love with his best friend's sister, Sophia Elliot. But his plans to court her are put on hold when he is forced to resume his role as an undercover spy for the Crown. A secret document listing the names of the entire network of British spies - including his own - has been stolen. To protect Sophia, Anthony cuts off all ties to her and exchanges his life as an honorable earl for the facade of a flirtatious playboy.

Heartbroken and confused, Sophia travels to India, hoping to find healing in one of the most exotic regions of the British Empire. But the exotic land isn't as restful as she had hoped. Instead, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery of a missing sea captain, a possible murder, and a plot that could involve the prince of India. And when Anthony appears at the British Residency, asking questions and keeping his distance from her, she is stunned.

She still loves him, and, in her heart, she knows he loves her too. But how can she rebuild her relationship with him if he won't confide in her? Does she dare offer her heart to him a second time, or will their love be lost under the India sun?

The narrator appears to extend all words ending in R in an annoying way. It is quite distracting. It is a shame as the story is wonderful.

Narrators voice is irritating

I only have one peeve about this performance and that is the narrator. Don't get me wrong she has a great voice, but she also has an annoying habit of finishing nearly every sentence on a high note. Now and then is okay but a whole book. Sorry, but I'm just saying.

My only peeve is...

Enjoyed it. Fast moving story right from chapter one. Clean romance with a mystery entwined. Twists & turns keep you guessing as to 'who done it'.
Some violence in the mystery part of the story but not gory.
Good narrator - male & female voices, accents including Indian & British.
