About this audiobook
Thorncliff Manor is the perfect setting for a masquerade ball . . . where the heart’s secret desires are about to be uncovered in this scintillating Regency romance from Sophie Barnes
Richard Heartly has exiled himself from society since the war, plotting his revenge for a terrible betrayal. A masked ball at Thorncliff Manor is intended to be a brief diversion. Instead, he encounters a fascinating young woman as entranced by the music as he is. He can’t reveal his identity to Lady Mary. But her siren song keeps drawing him back, and their clandestine meetings could be hazardous to his plan—and to her virtue . . .
Avoiding an unwanted marriage was easy when Lady Mary was ignored by the ton. Thanks to her dazzling appearance at the masquerade, she’s a wallflower no longer. Eligible suitors abound, yet the only man she wants is the brooding, seductive companion who keeps his face hidden. A man who tempts her to disclose her own shocking secret, one that could divide them forever . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best novel of the series so far. The Hero and Heroine are both wonderful, with deep secrets but a high sense of honesty. Also, there's a definite literary influence going on in this novel that, while I won't spoil, I will admit it gave me both a bit of a laugh and no small amount of joy. I didn't see the twist coming until more than halfway through the novel, so props for that. Overall, a really fun romance with a well-earned HEA. I do hope there are more novels in this series since the overarching mystery has yet to be finished.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Richard was wounded at Waterloo and has been hiding in his bedroom for five years, only speaking to his brother. Mary has a secret life. When the two meet at a masquerade ball, they are each intrigued by the other.I thought this was going to be a Beauty and the Beast tale, but it turned out to not really follow that mode. It was okay though I thought the plot wasn't fleshed out very well. For example, there's a cave with all sorts of discoveries under Thorncliff Manor, but Mary is the only one who finds it even though there's tunnels leading back to the house. Five years of Richard hiding in his room even if he's plotting revenge seemed just strange. The same with Mary being a wallflower in her third Season and now every man at the house party seems to want to marry her. It is a sweet story regardless and I enjoyed it, just not as much as I wanted to.
