About this listen
Some secrets should never be revealed....
As far as Lady Helena Carter is concerned, it isn’t bad to be a wallflower and a bluestocking. She wants nothing more than to be independent. Her father hasn’t made her life easy, and all her mother wants is her to find a husband - any man will do. In order to achieve her goal, she comes up with a foolproof plan to achieve her greatest wish. There is only one problem, and a man is at the heart of it.
Some secrets can’t be kept....
Lord Oliver Hunt, the Marquess of Dashville, has been plagued with rumors and innuendo for five years, and it’s all that dratted Lady X’s fault. He made one wrong move in his wayward youth, and he’s been paying for it ever since. Determined to make the Lady of Whispers see him differently, he devises a scheme to make amends to the first lady that Dash slighted. He seeks out Lady Helena for that purpose, but she won’t have anything to do with him.
Unraveling a secret can be sweet....
As they continue to cross paths, desire sparks between them. Their budding romance is tested as secrets are uncovered, and the revelations will either bring them closer together or tear them apart forever.

Story
Jonas Parker, the Earl of Harrington has no desire to marry. He rather enjoys being unencumbered. Lady Marian Lindsay rather likes being a spinster and embraces her bluestocking ways. She's studying to be a physician and wants to be a proper doctor. After careful deliberation she devises a scheme but she needs help. Harrington is appalled at Marian’s request but she somehow manages to charm him into saying yes. Before he realizes it, he’s escorting her to Kent and a house party. Propriety must be met at all costs because he will not be wed at the end of her expedition - or will he?

Adair Thorne has just watched his gaming-hell dream disappear into a blaze of fire and ash, and he’s certain that his competitors, the Killorans, are behind it. His fury and passion burn even hotter when he meets Cleopatra Killoran, a tart-mouthed vixen who mocks him at every turn. If she were anyone else but the enemy, she’d ignite a desire in him that would be impossible to control. No one can make Cleopatra do anything. That said, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her siblings—even if that means being sponsored by their rivals for a season in order to land a noble husband.

Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home...so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister!

From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride...and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her.

Lady Pearyn Treedale has been affianced to Cameron Spencer, the Duke of Partridgdon, since she was eight years old. An archaic practice, but a situation she’s come to enjoy. At her formal introduction to society, she wasn’t like the other debutantes. While they all searched for husbands, she made friends, had titillating conversations, and did whatever pleased her. Her fiancé had the good grace to be absent most of her life. Then, the duke went on his world tour, and decided never to return to England, allowing Lady Pear a freedom most ladies never experience.

On her way, she rescues Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been "ruined" and abandoned on the streets of Rome by her lover. With a typical disregard for convention, Amelia promptly hires her fellow countrywoman as a companion and takes her to Cairo, where strange visitations and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn.

A Lady Hoyden's Secret
I love lady X she brings such a great mystery to this series (or at least to the ton). Lady Helena is determined if she can't have the only many who has her interest then she will remain single. She only must make it to her 30th birthday to receive her inheritance. But she has a few year more to go when Lord Oliver Hunt sets his sights on her. The story is a fun easy listen. Price Waldman is easy to listen to but his mispronunciation of key words for this time period drives me a bit crazy.

Lady X Helps the Hero Be His Best Self
This is a thoroughly enjoyable Regency romance. Though written before the Bridgerton Netflix craze, the heroine is a secret gossip columnist in the vein of Lady Whistledown. One of her frequent targets is the hero, whom we meet in a somewhat disastrous scene that has a ripple effect over his life for the next several years. I very much enjoyed listening to their romantic dance. He slighted and maltreated the heroine in that dance, yet years later, he cannot seem to look away from a woman most people ignore. They are actually surprisingly well matched—once they get beyond their differences and he grows up a little, with some nudges from her column about his infamous exploits. I don't know if I would actually call her a hoyden, as the title states, though. And her plan for the future isn't quite as well thought out as it should have been. But if you take the story for what it is—a little Regency lark—it's a fun, quick listen.

Short and oh so sweet
This is becoming a delightful series, it is filled with lovely characters, love the plot and the romance. I really enjoy a story about strong woman and men and their con flex . Ms. Brower knows how to really match her characters giving you a highly entertaining listen. I love the sparring between and how they were put at each other at every turn. I love how the lady got her revenge. It was truly a fun listen that had me chuckling from time to time
The narrator did a great job, but as in the last book there is one place he was out of character but it is hardly noticeable. He has a very pleasant voice and gives true emotion to the characters. There are no background noises, no repeating of words, no volume changes.His character voices both male and female are very nice and blend well with the character.
I really enjoyed this book and can't for more in this series.

Excellent!!!
My favorite historical romance books to read or mail order bride stories. When I got this one for free it sounded OK, but The more I read it the more I realized I loved it. It was so good! I now cannot wait to read more books by dawn Brower she is historically correct which is a pet peeve of mine and she makes the women independent for their time not like 21st-century women. This book was awesome I loved it!

Lady X's secrets
Regency Romances have always appealed to me. Dawn Brower has an engaging style of writing humor and great imagery into her books. The storyline was fun and realistic. The characters were endearing. I thought the narration was very well done. Price Waldman is a new to me narrator and did perform the book great. I would definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.
