About this listen
Sparks fly when a daring diva clashes with an ice-cold war hero in the newest thrilling romance in USA Today best-selling author Julie Anne Long’s Palace of Rogues series.
She arrives in the dead of night, a mob out for blood at her heels: Mariana Wylde, the “Harlot of Haywood Street,” an opera diva brought low by a duel fought for her favors. But the ladies of the Grand Palace on the Thames think they can make a silk purse from scandal: They’ll restore her reputation and share in her triumph...provided they can keep her apart from that other guest.
Coldly brilliant, fiercely honorable, General James Duncan Blackmore, the Duke of Valkirk, is revered, feared, desired...but nobody truly knows him. Until a clash with a fiery, vulnerable beauty who stands for everything he scorns lays him bare. It’s too clear the only cure for consuming desire is conquest, but their only chance at happiness could lead to their destruction.
The legendary duke never dreamed love would be his last battleground. Valkirk would lay down his life for Mariana, but his choice is stark: Risk losing her forever, or do the one thing he vowed he never would...surrender.

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary. Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it.

After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma, and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. But one person isn't fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn't sure what she wants more: the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her.

Loved It
The narrator almost ruined this one. Luckily I persisted because this ended up being one of my faves. I actually saw why they fell for each other. In some books, you just have to trust the author when the narrative says two characters have a passion for each other. And did I say passion? Good lord!!! He said “I haven’t kissed you yet because I’d ruin you for any other man” might be the cockiest yet sexist line I’ve read in a regency novel. And love love scenes deliver! 🥵
This one is going on heavy rotation in my library.

Wonderful
This book enthralled me from the first paragraph. The characters were fully developed and delightful. I will listen to this one more than once. The tenderness of the love story is palpable and heartwarming. The HEA ending is perfect. The narrator is flawless in her performance; so much that the listener only hears the characters speaking not a reader.

I’ve loved every book in this series and this one was super fun. The banter between the duke and Mariana had me giggling out loud. And Justine Eyre is such a talented narrator.

excellent book but the narration worsens the story
I am generally a huge fan of this narrator, and I absolutely love and adore this author and this entire series. I strongly recommend reading this book instead of listening to it however. The heroine as interpreted by this narrator comes across as snarky, annoying, and rude. I did not like her at all when Iistened to this. As words on a page, however, she is much more sympathetic.

Narrator put a lilt at the end of almost every sentence
The lilt was especially pronounced when she narrated Mariana’s parts. It made her sound frivolous.

Not as good as Book 3
I didn't care for this one. The story was far-fetched to the point of being silly. I do tire of the whole "middle aged man beds 25 year old woman" theme. I didn't see anything in their relationship that caused them to fall madly in love. Yes, the sex scenes were hot, but that does not translate into love. I just didn't like it. Narration was excellent.
