About this listen

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.

Empty story and overplayed performance

The story is quite empty, nothing like the intrigues and adventure of the glass series. The performance is overplayed and clunky, so hard to listen to.
Refund

Don’t bother

The narration was appalling and the story didn’t seem to go anywhere. It was a struggle to get through the book. I won’t be reading the rest in the series
