Story
Lady Henrietta Maclellan longs for the romantic swirl of a London season. But as a rusticating country maiden, she has always kept her passionate nature firmly under wraps - until she meets Simon Darby. Simon makes her want to whisper promises late at night, exchange kisses on a balcony and receive love notes. So Henrietta lets her imagination soar and writes a letter...a very risqué love letter that somehow becomes shockingly public.

Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, needs a wife - so his sister hands him a list of the very best young ladies on the market. And then, because he refuses to tear himself away from the stables where he trains Arabian racehorses, she invites all those ladies to a house party, along with some other bachelors, of course. So who will Hugh choose? The Botticelli-esque, enchanting Gwendolyn? The outspoken, delightful Katherine? If he doesn't work fast, he'll lose those ladies to his closest friends, and then where will he look for a wife?

Writing in a voice that will remind listeners of Julia Quinn, RITA Award-nominee Linden spins a wonderfully sensual yarn about a blackmailed nobleman facing the loss of his birthright and bent on revenge, and the willing heiress he intends to marry for her money - a lady who has loved him from afar for years.

William, the sixth Duke of Pelham, enjoys his punctual, securely structured life. Orderly and predictable-that's the way he likes it. But he's in the public eye, and the scandal sheets will make up anything to sell papers. When the gossips link him to Juliette, one of the most beautiful and celebrated courtesans in London, chaos doesn't begin to describe what happens next....
Summary
Gina was forced into marriage with Camden, the Duke of Girton, at an age when she'd have been better off in a schoolroom than a ballroom. Directly after the ceremony, her spouse promptly fled to the continent, leaving the marriage unconsummated and Gina quite indignant.
Now she is one of the most well-known ladies in London and living on the edge of scandal....

Enjoyable but a bit confused at points
I enjoyed the story but as others have said it did go on a bit too much. The ending could have quite easily been cut down by two scenes having the ship as the last and an epilogue in Greece perhaps!
I also found the inclusion of the other characters stories a bit much, and not enough. They were not tied up satisfactorily at the end.
One note on the otherwise excellent narration, Beatrice is not Be a tree shay. But simply bee a triss. This grated!

Tedious and far too long
Far too long and far too much angst.
There were too many characters that I wasn't interested in hearing about. It would nice to be introduced to them, if they are part of the series, but not their life stories!
The heroine's "fiancee" was too far fetched with his priggishness and he would never end up doing what he was supposed to have done.
Justine did the best she could with the narration but sorry, what a load of nonsense and I won't be reading anymore by this author.

A good story but sadly not very historically accurate. Too many anachronisms for my liking like a darts board in a pub 100 years before the game was invented.

Fun but flawed.
I enjoyed this book immensely because I enjoy Eloisa's style but I imagine it must have been one of her early works as it has several anachronisms in it that jar a little. However her characters and dialogue are always enjoyable and Justine Eyre's delivery is spot on. Definitely worth a listen.
