Summary
Handsome. Charming. Devastating. He was the last man she needed, but the only one she wanted.
Elizabethan England: Orlando Holt has never assassinated a woman before. The lovely, feisty Lady Lynden will be his first. She's supposed to be a vicious murderess, but when Orlando begins to have doubts, he sets out to discover the identity of the person who hired him. What he learns will turn his world upside down and propel him headlong into love with a woman who's immune to his charms.
Twice widowed by the age of 24, Lady Susanna Lynden has had enough of charming men. Her last husband knew all the right things to say to get her to the marriage bed...then made her life miserable.
Money may be scarce and her house falling down around her, but the exotic fruits from her orange trees will keep poverty away. Except, someone is thwarting her at every turn. Someone who may even want her dead.

A departure from her usual style
I have read many books by C J Archer and so far have enjoyed them all. However, The story was far more explicit than previous books by the author and did not captivate me. It was without much intrigue and was easy to put down. Whereas previously I wanted to know what happened next.
The narration left a lot to be desired. Particularly the female voice which at times was shrill and annoying.
Unfortunately this was not worth a credit.

effective for convincing ambient and period.
My only objection was in the story telling of Dianna's experience and character. The voice sounded fake, affected for such a sincere naive unworldly and trusting person. she should not have sounded as if playing a part.

Awfully funny.
The female voice was distractingly artificial, the sec scenes made me laugh and the plot was unconvincing. So bad it was entertaining.

Great Listen
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As usual C.J. Archer’s characters are well written and you are engaged from the very start.
The male Narrator was very good, not so much the female Narrator but, she wasn’t bad enough for me not to continue listening.
Downloading the second in the series right now.
Absolutely love this Author’s books. Great listening.
I would totally recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy romance…..it was even a bit racy in parts!
