When a blackmailer threatens her Aunt Zoe, Iphiginia knows she can ferret out the villain. A 26-year-old vixen with the intellect to match her beauty, Iphiginia descends on London society as the dazzling mistress of the missing Earl of Masters—another supposed victim of the blackmailer. But when the missing earl suddenly reappears at a ball, Iphiginia is caught in her own clever lie.

I love the charming historical novels of Amanda Quick. Her female leads are always strong and self sufficient yet not afraid to get a little cuddly with a man. They are intelligent and it's fun to how they go about solving a problem. I first listened to her "Paid Companion" and haven't been disappointed yet. Talent like Amanda Quick's is a rare find!

Steady Amanda Quick, Never goes wrong

This one was absolutely terrific. I was completely engaged from the beginning. It was a smart, fun had a heroine who was charming and innocent at the same time. I don’t know how Quick managed it. I thought the hero was great — little rough but still had plenty of charm. The chemistry between the hero and heroine was tremendous and the side characters were fairly cute although not quite as well developed. The story took enough turns and twists and was very fun so it kept my interest all the way through. I would highly recommend it. I spent a credit and I’m perfectly happy to have done so. I’m going to look for another Amanda Quick right now. One or two of her others and I like them a lot but I think I like this one the best.

Loved it

Ms. Quick succeeded again in creating a delightful, interesting mystery and romance. This is my favorite book by AQ and I have read and listened to it quite a few times over the years. It is lots of fun to imagine the character's facial expressions in the comical scenes. Thank you Amanda for lots of smiles and lifted spirits!

Fun, original, clever story and characters!

Based on the reviews, I was expecting to be riveted, but at no point did the story grip me. The female lead was supposedly written as highly intelligent, witty, strong willed and funny, but she often came across as ditsy, obsessed, and a little annoying with all the "running into his arms". A good book captivates and this one didn't with the very predictable plot at certain points. I knew who the villain was at least 5 chapters early. I fully expected the female lead to gladly give up all aspirations and her business plans just for the love of her man. That is the direction the story seemed to go in. Barf.

Disappointed

A+ for the story, A++ for the narration! Now, I can't decide if I'm going to read another Amanda Quick book or a Barbara Rosenblat narration next! What a wonderful problem to be faced with!

10/10!

The book: Good interesting leads, plus the side characters were given some fleshing-out, not mere two-dimensional nothings.

The narration: Typically, I love Barbara Rosenblat audio but this book had a couple of jarring notes, and repeatedly!
The city of Reading (one assumes that's what Reading Library is named for) is not pronounced reed-ing.
No, it's pronounced as redding; it's the same for the city in Pennsylvania and the UK one in Berkshire. Mispronounced it as if, "I was reading a novel," instead of as REDD-ing.

Secondly, the female lead's name, Iphigenia. I may be uncommon, but it is a real name.
Several pronunciations have been used in various real-life times and places, but Rosenblat annoyingly kept skipping around from one to another!
No, she should've picked one pronunciation and STUCK WITH IT!

Maybe what annoyed me so often might not bother other readers.
Try it for yourself and see.

Pleasant, though it isn't my fave Amanda Quick

I have not listened to a book by Amanda before but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Well done 👍🏻.
Barbara, I also do not believe I have had the pleasure of listening to you before either; another well done 👍🏻.

Well done

When reading for Marcus, the lady reading occasionally slips Marcus's voice from an English accent into what sounds like a Scottish accent. Very distracting.

Great story, as are most of Amanda Quick's during this decade.

I have never cared for this narrator. The characters are so unbelievable or maybe it is the presentation.

Not my favorite

This is my second book by Amanda Quick and I have to confess I'm not a big fan. I loved the plot but I don't care for the writing. I find her books to be really slow moving and too much of the story was told through narration rather than through the characters themselves. I just wanted to skip pages but on audio that's not quite so simple. At Ch. 6 I was ready to put it but instead decided to push through it.

The audio book is narrated by Barbara Rosenblat. I'm not quite sure if I'm a fan of Ms. Rosenblat. The characters were clearly distinctive and she did an awesome job with the many characters but I didn't care for the husky voice of the males and I thought the female voices were a bit too sweet... high pitched. I do plan on listening to another one of her narrations as I've heard really good comments from others listening to Ms. Rosenblat.

I purchased both the Kindle ebook to get the audio at a reduced price for a total of $11.98 - money sadly wasted.

Not a big fan of Amanda Quick
