    About this audiobook

    April 1831. Lord Julian is a widower whose mother wants him to marry her best friend’s daughter, Miss Sophie Wilkie, whom he last saw as a silent and skinny twelve-year-old. However, his mother is nothing if not persuasive, and Julian reluctantly accompanies her to London to meet the young lady.

    Lord Devlin Monroe, Julian’s nephew, is enjoying an extraordinarily pleasant bachelor life until Miss Sophie Wilkie and her aunt, Miss Roxanne Radcliffe, appear in London society, and he suddenly finds himself wondering how he could have enjoyed midnight alone.

    Julian and Devlin must discover what really happened three years earlier when Julian’s first wife was found dead. If they don’t find out the truth, their lives could be ruined. And there is another, even more perfidious, danger that lurks in the shadows, waiting.

      Catherine Coulter always satisfies my desire for long ago stories with strong women, sharp-tongued relatives, wealthy protective gentlemen and rescues! I never could stand the heroine that waited for a man to rescue her. It had a great storyline even if I did figure out the murderer well before the reveal but the why was a total surprise. If you're a fan of her historical romances, you'll love it and probably want to go back and read the Sherbrooke family stories like I do now.
    • 2/5
      I did not enjoy this book as much as her others, I found it hard to get into and a bit predictable. While the Sherbrooke series has many before this, you don't need to read them first. However, I much prefer her earlier works in this series. I did enjoy the characters but the plot was lacking.
    • 4/5
      Well. . .I have to say Catherine Coulter has done it again! Loved this story almost as much as the very first time I picked up one of her books! It made me remember why I loved reading her to begin with. Since we often have to wait MONTHS in between her books, sometimes longer, I tend to forget and get caught up in other authors! This story will make you laugh at some of the ridiculous comments, it will even make your head spin trying to keep up, but it will also make you cry! To me, that's what makes a great author, someone who has the talent to get more than one emotion at a time out of their readers! So, I will not go into the story and I will tell you that you should just buy it and then you could read it twice! Though I do wonder if she will give Wicked Tongued Leah and Vengeful Richard their own story??
    • 3/5
      The story was okay. I prefer the FBI series. I have read similar stories with the female characters finding true love in the end and the handsome prince falling head over heals for the young lady. I love C. Coulter, but I will stick with the thrillers!
    • 2/5
      I love Catherine Coulter's FBI series and I normally enjoy her historical romances as well. However, this one was not on the top of my list. It moved to slow for me and overall was just not an enjoyable book to read.
    • 3/5
      I enjoy her FBI series very much, and not much on historical romances, so I didn't know if I was going to like this book or not. I have to say it held my interest and I did enjoy it. She has an enjoyable writing syle. If you like historicals this is a certainly a must for you.
    • 3/5
      I generally enjoy Catherine Coulter's books, but this one was predictable and disappointing. The character development wasn't nearly as good as in previous books and I found it hard to like them. This one wouldn't be the one to read first if you have never read Coulter.
    • 4/5
      Have always really enjoyed Catherine Coulter, but this one was just okay for me. I had a hard time keeping up with all of the characters and their relationships. It was a "slow" read. Julian, accused of killing his wife, & his friend Delvin meet Sophie & Roxanne in London. His dead wife's brother, Julian's childhood friend & accuser, & family draws Julian back home to defend and/or end the riff. The rest of the trio, among others, follow and trouble begins almost immediately.Really no easy was to summarize it all because there is just so much going on - so many characters & so many plots. With that being said, none of it really captivated me either. Was I glad I read it? Sure. Was it CC at her best? In my opinion, no. If you are a CC fan, definitely worth reading.
    • 3/5
      Thought I would give Catherine Coulter a try, but this did not really work for me. Some of the characters were good, but the story was too far fetched.
    • 1/5
      I usually love historical fiction, but this book just didn't work for me. I found the characters and dialogue annoying. The interactions between many of the characters was just awkward. It also felt as if I was missing something. Is this a series? A standalone? It seemed a thorough backstory wasn't deemed necessary. I couldn't connect or bring myself to like the multitude of characters in the Prince of Ravenscar. I won't write this author off completely, but this novel just wasn't one I could bring myself to finish.
    • 2/5
      Parts of this historical romance were fun-and that is exactly why I read this author. But wow, some of the twists and turns were just ridiculous, making it very hard to lose oneself in the story. I usually enjoy the opportunity to escape with a romance novel but this time I could not keep myself from rolling my eyes....
    • 3/5
      Have always really enjoyed Catherine Coulter, but this one was a little more difficult to get into. I found that the story line seemed to bounce around a bit too much for me. The characters where ok, but I found myself having a hard time getting emotionally involved in the story of them. May have just not been in the mood for this story, I may try to go back and re - read it at another time. I am still a big Coulter fan, but this one just didn't seem to live up to the standards.
    • 3/5
      Ingenue Sophie is enjoying her first season chaperoned by her twenty-seven-year old aunt Roxanne, a lady who's quite happily on the shelf. Enter their love interests the "prince" of Ravenscar, whose mother intends he should marry Sophie, and his step-nephew Devlin. Thrown together a fair amount in London, the action heats up quickly when the quartet and a few supporting characters return to Ravenscar. Smuggling, arson, murder (or is it suicide?), mysterious comings and goings in the night, and plenty of intrigue and snide comments galore: it's a fairly typical Coulter novel.One complaint, which may be cleared up by publication time - I periodically confused Sophie and Roxanne. And honestly? I think Coulter's resting on her laurels a bit with this one. The plot has very little new to offer, and if you don't see the ending coming.... Final verdict? Much like sugary bubblegum, it's fun to chew initially, but loses its flavor pretty quickly.
    • 3/5
      This was my first book by Catherine Coulter and I have to say that I was very underwhelmed. Throughout the first half of the book I kept waiting for more to happen and nothing major ever did. The book sort of coasted through to a mild mystery which was resolved rather predictably. Also, I figured out who killed Lily the first time that character was introduced. I can't really recommend this one unless you've read and loved the first 10 books in this series.
    • 3/5
      It's been awhile since I've read a Coulter. About how I remember it, light on the sexy times, heavy on the "danger" and mystery. Not sure how well the intrigue portion worked here but the leads were okay.
