Publisher's Summary:

Scandal can be handled....

Captain Maximus Harcourt, the unconventional tenth Duke of Alderidge, can deal with tropical storms, raging seas, and the fiercest of pirates. But he's returned home from his latest voyage to find a naked earl - quite inconveniently deceased - tied to his missing sister's bed. And he has only one place to turn. Now he's at the mercy of the captivating Miss Ivory Moore of Chegarre & Associates, known throughout London for smoothing over the most dire of scandals.

Miss Moore treats the crisis as though it were no more serious than a cup of spilt tea on an expensive rug. As though this sort of thing happened on the job every day. Max has never in all his life met a woman with such nerve. Her dark eyes are too wide, her mouth is too full, her cheekbones too sharp. Yet together, she's somehow...flawless. It's just like his love for her, imperfect, unexpected - yet absolutely true.

Members Reviews:

Awesome read..

I just love having to stop long enough to laugh out loud again and again. BUT mostly I love, love, love sexual tension in a book, and this one has a lot. I dont even care if theres sex as long as the tension is there. I absolutely, positively hate it when theres no desire, no lust, no thoughts, no nothing, then theres an explicit sex scene or two. AND some reviewers call that hot and steamy. Umm, no its not! Its sex thrown in because sex sells. BUT theres NOTHING that led up to the sex so that makes it boring.

Anyway, this is my first book by Ms. Bowen but it wont be my last. I like sex in my books and Im always looking for authors who can write sexual tension. So far Ive found Samantha Holt and Katie Reus, and 1 other that escapes me right now.

I really like Max and Ivory, and everything that happened in his sisters bed chamber. And I loved how Ivory kept giving Max orders and he fought her every step of the way then ended up agreeing with everything she said. It really did remind me of Olivia Pope, of the TV show Scandal. If you like the show you would like this book, and the way Ivory and Elise solve problems for the TON. I have to admit I was getting more and more interested in what happened to Beatrice. AND after I did find out, I realized she was just a normal, non-thinking teenager, as dumb as a box of rocks. I wish the author would have handled that a little bit different. I was hoping I would like Beatrice but I didnt when the truth came out. It almost ruined the book for me. But not quite.

There was, as I said before, sexual tension throughout this book and some great sex scenes. There were a couple of dammits but thats about all. So, for all of you who like explicit sex but absolutely NO swearing, this book is for you.

As to the narrator: Ms. McNab does a good job on the male and female voices but she doesnt have much emotion when she reads. She doesnt laugh at all, when its called for. She just reads it like normal. Ashford McNab used to be one of my favorites but lately so many narrators seem to be looking at reviews and listening to what people have to say about whats wrong with narration. For example, Eric G. Dove was just OK for me but I just borrowed my daughters iPad and listened to him do Tessa Dawns Blood Curse series, and OMG he was phenomenal. He did all the things he never used to do. The same things Susan Duerden ALWAYS does. Things I wish A.M. would do.
