Jack would rather be at sea than fixing the mistakes of his grandfather, the late Earl of Stansworth. Instead, he finds that inheriting his grandfather's wealth and title and securing the welfare of his sister and mother means joining the ranks of high society and living with the aristocracy. Luckily, Ivy Carslisle, the granddaughter of a dear friend of Jack's late grandmother, is willing to teach him etiquette and properly introduce him into society.

As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and lives a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome. She’s instantly drawn to him, which is why, rather than stopping him from kissing her, she finds herself kissing him back, reigniting a nearly forgotten passion in her. But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales—never to an ordinary woman like her.

After five years of tracking and capturing spies on English soil, Philip Jonquil, Earl of Lampton, is in pursuit of his last quarry. But at a traveler’s inn, he encounters an unexpected and far more maddening foe: Sorrel Kendrick, a young lady who is strikingly pretty, shockingly outspoken, and entirely unimpressed with him. Indeed, Sorrel cannot believe the nerve of this gentleman, who rudely accuses her of theft and insults her feminine dignity. Doubly annoyed when they both end up at a party hosted by mutual friends, Philip and Sorrel privately declare war on one another.

Resumen del Editor
Anthony Blake is in love with his best friend's sister, Sophia Elliot. But his plans to court her are put on hold when he is forced to resume his role as an undercover spy for the Crown. A secret document listing the names of the entire network of British spies - including his own - has been stolen. To protect Sophia, Anthony cuts off all ties to her and exchanges his life as an honorable earl for the facade of a flirtatious playboy.
Heartbroken and confused, Sophia travels to India, hoping to find healing in one of the most exotic regions of the British Empire. But the exotic land isn't as restful as she had hoped. Instead, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery of a missing sea captain, a possible murder, and a plot that could involve the prince of India. And when Anthony appears at the British Residency, asking questions and keeping his distance from her, she is stunned.
She still loves him, and, in her heart, she knows he loves her too. But how can she rebuild her relationship with him if he won't confide in her? Does she dare offer her heart to him a second time, or will their love be lost under the India sun?

She suspects it’s because she is far too quick to speak her mind to men who are put off by her opinions, her intellect, and her unconventional ideas. Besides, Caroline thinks there will always be next season to find a husband. However, her family’s dwindling income leaves Caroline with only one choice to secure her future: a one-way ticket to sail with the fishing fleet to India, where the son of a family friend waits.

An Enjoyable Proper Romance Mystery
The Secret of the India Orchard by Nancy Campbell Allen is the second in a series, though the name of the series has not been given. I did not realize this until after I began reading, though, you don’t need to have read the first book (My Fair Gentlemen) to enjoy this book. The book is part of the “Proper Romance” sub-genre which are romantic stories without any sexual content.
We then meet our young heroine Sophia traveling to India to get away. She had formed an attachment with her brother’s best friend Anthony, but he ends their friendship unexpectedly and leaves the country soon after, leaving Sophia confused and upset. In India, she runs into Anthony. There they rekindle their friendship while also getting involved in a pretty decent murder mystery. At the very beginning of the story, we learn that Anthony had intended in courting Sophia, but he’s forced to leave England immediately when his former boss and spymaster recruits him for an important mission.
Anthony’s mission because a central part of the story, as the documents he’s perusing have come into the ownership of a guest of the house Sophia is residing in while in India. The murder mystery is engaging as well as the description of the English colonization of India in the mid-1900’s century. Sophia is aware of the cultural misconceptions perpetrated by the British Empire and while she’s socially enlightened it’s not to an extent that would be incongruent with someone who had lived at that time.
The obstacles to the romance are not the focus of the story, the narrative is being pushed by the outside forces such as the murder and the search for the documents that are driving the narrative and are driving the interactions between the two characters. The romance eventually resolves itself in an organic way and we get very nice interactions between Sophia and Anthony. They had been best friends and we see why they had gotten along so well in the past.
I’ve noticed that the Proper Romance novels focus more on the social and cultural aspects of the story. It has a tinge of Jane Austin and the social commentary that she provided throughout her novels. And while these are not at that level, they still give us an interesting, though sometimes superficial, view of Regency culture.

LOVED!
A very, very charming and suspenful story. I loved the female characters and the friendships that they developed. My only, and very small, bit of confusion came from anticipating more of a connection to orchids all throughout the story.

I would have liked more description of India and the sea voyage, the markets and ruins and clothing appropriate for the temperature. But I enjoyed the story and the characters. The narrator was excellent.

Dramatic and lovely
I loved this story. All the classic recency romance elements, but with exotic additions and tons of extra drama. Lots of great characters and all their stories are beautifully intertwined.

predictable but good.
The narrator was great. The story was predictable but it was a good book to listen to.

Loved this & the 1st one! SO LOVELY!!
This was my 1st listen w/this author (2nd bk) but won't be my last for sure! Both books in this series were truly lovely. It the only word that seems to best describe each story. I especially liked taking a break from the other Royalty Romances which are very worthwhile, wonderfully written & narrated also, but are SO full of (or sometimes not full of enough - ha!) hot, steamy, VERY descriptive love-making scenes (especially when, as an example, I'm listening to a book while cooking, & others are in the same room & are trying to talk to me (yes, I do wear a Bluetooth! ha!)...but I can feel myself blushing & pulling my earbud(s) out JUST to make sure no one can accidentally hear it. It'd be a huge "Grandma!!! What ARE you listening to?"...or...."(fill in your person)" in shock that "you're too old to listen to that! Ha, Ha! Ha! Ha!" Or God forbid if I fell asleep w/1 of those exotic Royal books & my dear olfer hubby pulling out 1 earbud just to hear what I'm listening to...which I think happened once as later 1 day my dear hubby suddenly was VERY interested (for the 1st time!) in me describing what my "books are about." NO worries about that happening with the 1st or this book in this beautiful series! The 1st & this book were VERY well written & I also loved the narration! Both love stories had such heartbreaking things in a person's past you can't help but want to clap, shout "PTL!!", or just feel like you want to cry with happiness for the good that happens to the well deserving person or people!! I couldn't help but long to be in their shoes, well...not during the hard part, as we'll all had enough of that, but when suddenly your entire life's turned upside down & stood upright where you always wanted it to be but thought "it only happens to other people....never me." These were so very interesting from start to finish all I can say is I pray there are more either in this series as a book 3, 4, through 107 (TRULY!) or another series by the same author & wonderful narrator! That these were included in my Membership & I didn't have to use a credit, or pay extra, was an even bigger blessing! THANK YOU AUDIBLE for this treat of FREE books which HELPS SO MANY PEOPLE these days (2022) I'd imagine due to the prices of, well, just about EVERYTHING under the Sun, skyrocketing, it GREATLY helps & also aides us in finding NEW authors to follow!! I gladly buy more credits if needed or when I just cannot wait for my next credit to get the next book in a series, & have done so a LOT in my long history with Audible books. Again, thank you Audible!! Without you I'd never find time to read!

The end got fantastical
I loved this story and I was so happy to hear Sophia and Anthony's story continued from the first book.
The storyline was great until the end. It got a little far fetched. I still recommend the read though. It's a nice escape.
I love that proper romances are so clean.
