Resumen del Editor

At the end of his Grand Tour, somewhere between Athens and Constantinople, Christian Selwyn, the young Earl of Hazelmere, vanished—seemingly without trace.

Time passes. In London, his uncle and cousin move into his home, while his unofficial fiancée, Sophia, is left desolate and in limbo.

Finally, his friends–loyal and close as brothers–set out to search in person, determined to find him and bring him home.

Christian’s startling re-appearance at a grand ball hosted by his uncle takes society by storm, fueling endless speculation. Where has he been during these three missing years? What happened to him? And more importantly, how did it happen?

Only one thing is clear. The earl who left England five years ago has returned a changed man. A man with secrets....

Excellent

Stella Riley does it again! “The Shadow Earl” is another great audiobook and when Alex Wyndham is the narrator, I will listen!

Amazing story

This is my go to author and narrator when I need an emotional boost. I like a bit of mystery and intrigue but really want the HEA. I was a bit surprised thinking this one might take a darker turn but was surprised when we found out what really happened in captivity. It also brought to light that what is very traumatic and devastating to us may be perceived differently by others. She didn't less his feelings or emotions from the trauma but had his support system step up and be understanding. Great job Stella. Can't wait for the next book.

Stella & Alex

Charming story. The writing and narration superb once again in this new series. I enjoyed that it connects with previous characters.

How well the book was narrated.

Liked it all. The characters were well described and I could picture them all as if in a movie.

Clean love story set in 18th century England.

Stella Riley never fails to deliver excellence and this is no exception. It is written in the “Rockford” style and the characters from her other books made a cameo appearance.
Alex Wyndham does a great job narrating this book.
I highly recommend this book.

Good story!

This is my first Stella Riley novel, and it won’t be my last. Hopefully she’s written more concerning some of the secondary characters.

Fantastic narrator

A fun and sometimes gripping story that gives you the sensual juiciness of the time period. The narrator was a perfect choice.

Another delightful story from Stella Riley!

Since 2020, when I flew through Stella Riley’s Rockliff series during quarantine, I have eagerly awaited each of her subsequent novels. As an American myself, Stella’s detailed descriptions of life among the English aristocracy are fascinating. Her characters are unique, endearing and the plot twists pull me in. In The Shadow Earl, I was delighted to meet new characters. I hope to hear from them again in future installments. Alex Wyndham’s narration as always, brings the tale to life beautifully.

Excellent listening

It was a real surprise to receive an email from Stella Riley telling me of this new book. I immediately bought it and oh my....what a lovely surprise. It's the perfect blend of romance, intrigue and revenge. Christian and Sophie are delightful characters whose love survived years of separation. The supporting characters are like old friends returning from previous books. And of course the great Alex Wyndham gave life and voice to all those characters. Wonderful listening experience.

Wonderful

Stella Riley is incredible and so is this novel. The writing is witty and the story is gripping. One of the aspects I enjoyed most was her incorporation of old friends from her Rockcliffe and Brandon Brothers series. It looks like there is a lot of potential for sequels with the new cast of characters to which she introduces us in this book. I hope she continues on this new series for a long time.
