An Omnivoracious Pick for Best Romances of February 2016
A 2016 Publishers Weekly Best Books of the Year Selection for Romance
Captain Maximus Harcourt, the unconventional tenth Duke of Alderidge, can deal with tropical storms, raging seas, and the fiercest of pirates. But he's returned home from his latest voyage to find a naked earl—quite inconveniently deceased—tied to his missing sister's bed. And he has only one place to turn. Now he's at the mercy of the captivating Miss Ivory Moore of Chegarre & Associates, known throughout London for smoothing over the most dire of scandals.
Miss Moore treats the crisis as though it were no more serious than a cup of spilt tea on an expensive rug. As though this sort of thing happened on the job every day. Max has never in all his life met a woman with such nerve. Her dark eyes are too wide, her mouth is too full, her cheekbones too sharp. Yet together, she's somehow ... flawless. It's just like his love for her, imperfect, unexpected—yet absolutely true.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Wonderful! A charming, clever, and engaging storyteller not to be missed.” —Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author
“Bowen begins her Season for Scandal series with a nonstop murder mystery that sizzles with sexual tension. This suspenseful tale unfolds quickly, and readers will be captivated by the well-drawn characters who move Bowen’s inventive plot forward. Readers will savor this unconventional romance.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
“Bowen’s irresistible Regency is…pretty, witty, mysterious, and full of coquettish allure. From the first line to the happy dénouement, Bowen builds enough romantic heat to melt midwinter snow…Max and Ivory conduct a merry tug of war over who takes the reins of investigating Bea’s disappearance while pleasantly losing their battle with mutual attraction. Good reading is assured as Bowen weaves wonderful romantic fiction.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Ashford McNab provides a delightful reading of this Regency romance mixed with mystery…Ivory’s voice sounds clear and calm, while McNab gives Max’s voice a deep, harsher quality… McNab provides unique voices to messenger boys, sea captains, and even black market dealers that reflect their less polished speech. As the story alternates between mystery and romance, McNab doesn’t miss a beat and provides a satisfying reading for those who enjoy romance with a touch of adventure.” —AudioFile
