About this audiobook
It isn't easy making a living as a lady's companion when one possesses a sharp tongue and an original mind. That's why Emma Greyson has gone through three such positions in six months. Her current post at a tiresome country house party has her bored to tears-until an extraordinary encounter with the legendary Edison Stokes leads to a secret position as his assistant.
Stokes is on a peculiar mission, searching for an anonymous thief who has stolen an ancient book of arcane potions. He suspects his quarry is among the party's guests-and that the villain is looking for an intuitive woman on whom to test a certain elixir. A woman just like Emma...
For Emma, the new post brings unexpected passion and chilling danger. But when murder strikes, she realizes the awful truth. Unless she and Edison devise a scheme to outwit a merciless killer, she could forever lose the man of her dreams-and even her very life....
From the Paperback edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5loved the suspense.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5BORING! The characters had NO depth. Poorly written and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amanda quick did it again. enough love story and mystery
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Couldn’t get past the reader. Added her to my list.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sort of part of a series, but only loosely linked. Basically a stand alone, and one of her better ones, I think. Emma is quick witted and resourceful, Edison is wrapped too tight but driven. The blurb gives clues. I find it to be a nice, non-demanding read about once a year or so. Enough suspenseful and sensual tension to keep one's interest without being gory or a bodice-ripper.Barbara Rosenblatt is a good audio performer and doesn't overplay the roles.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While I enjoyed the book, it was not one of Amanda Quick's better novels. The beginning is interesting with the characters meeting while hiding entangled in a wardrobe. Edison Stokes is charming, eccentric and has some witty lines. Emma, on the other hand, is just down right annoying. All she seems to ever talk about is needing money and references, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what about her Edison likes. She is stubborn, bossy, and all about herself and her post. She does not possess too many redeeming character traits. Most of her comments I found grating. I do like how Emma handles Edison's grandmother and the grandmother's role in the story. There were a few funny moments, but overall, I think the book was merely average and that Emma's character developed poorly. The love interest was weak and the Vanza scheme was weak. But it was an easy read and interesting enough for me to finish the book.

Series note: There is no tangible link between this book and With This Ring and it can be read as a standalone.
Emma Greyson is independent, intelligent and spirited, which makes her unsuitable for her chosen profession as a lady’s companion. The latest is a string of positions finds Emma at a country house party where the mundane activities of the ton take an interesting turn as she encounters the enigmatic Edison Stokes, a former member of the Vanzagarian society, who is in search of a secret manuscript and a killer who seems to have set their sights on Emma.
The Vanzagarian storyline shares many similarities with Krentz/Quick’s Arcane Society series - a secret society, a strange formula, a villain with nefarious motives, etc. This in and of itself is not a bad thing, but for those who have read the Arcane books, the mystery ultimately lacks originality and the suspense is diminished.
The romance fares better as Emma and Edison have strong chemistry, their banter is witty and their relationship relatively angst free. Edison’s backstory adds depth to his character and it is impossible not to feel for him. Emma is an engaging heroine and her relationship with Edison’s grandmother is one of the highlights of the story.
All in all, a quick and pleasant read for those times when one just needs to relax with a bit of fluff. On a side note, the Kobo version has several typos and formatting errors. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This one wasn't quite as good as the first in this series, but still quite enjoyable. Amanda Quick's novels are a notch above most historical romances. I love the mystery and intrigue in this series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed this light read. Liked the humour and the characters. The romance didn't make me want to vomit over it's mushiness like some of this genre does. Happy to read her again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a romance. Fast read, simple (and totally predictable) plot, nominal suspense (which the predictability vitiates). It may be set in the Regency period, but the characters are more like 20th C. people time-warped back to then (scandalous language and behavior! Simply scandalous!).In other words, typical romance. The plot revolves around a mystery but I think if you read it for the mystery you'll be disappointed, because it's just a plot device for getting Mr. and Miss into each other's..."arms." Yeah, "arms."
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Emma lives as a ladies companion, having lost previous jobs because she's too opinionated. She's an interesting character and fun to read about particularly when she meets Edison Stokes. A man born illegitimate he's faught his way up through society and is now pretty much accepted.Both of them are hunting the same goal, but in different ways and they're not sure where they both fit into each other's worlds.Fun, light with some paranormal overtones.
