About this listen

Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised - and he laughs through it all. Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, is entirely respectable, and she’d like to stay that way. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous, one that ties her irrevocably to England’s most infamous scoundrel: Sebastian’s theories aren’t his. They’re hers. So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long conspiracy, she’ll do anything to save their partnership...even if it means opening her vulnerable heart to the rake who could destroy it for good.

The books in the Brothers Sinister series:

  • ½. The Governess Affair (prequel novella)
  • 1. The Duchess War
  • 1½. A Kiss for Midwinter (a companion novella to The Duchess War)
  • 2. The Heiress Effect

Each audiobook stands alone, but those who prefer to read in order might want to start at the beginning.

Courtney Milan does it like no other!

She writes fierce and complex femme protagonists and just as nuanced considerate romantic heroes-all without feeling contrived! Plus her subplots are rich and real as well! Add the treasure of Rosalyn Landor and you have audiobook perfection!!!

wonderful narrating, smart romance

I truly enjoyed this historical romance! Only Courtney Milan could make the inheritance of traits interesting! The characters, favorites since the first in the series are colorful, endearing and thetheir relationships and stories are believable and at times painful. The journey is a scientific delight, the ending worth the struggles and wait. The parts about Rakus Erectus and associated scientific names cracked me up! But the author's note at the end had me bursting into tears...the historic representation of the Violets of the world and untold stories touched me. This book took extraordinary research, it shows. Worth the credits, and Rosalyn Landor is flawless as usual.

Best so far

I LOVED this book. I'm enjoying all the books in this series but this has been my favorite so far. It has the heat I was missing from the first two, and I love the dynamic between Violet and Sebastian. This book made me laugh and cry.

Interesting plot & a touching romance

Although it says in the Publisher's Summary that Sebastian is a Rake there is absolutely no actions in the book to warrant this title other than he was forced to quote the number of women he'd had which was during an argument. Rather than a Rake he's a kind, thoughtful, charming, intelligent, patient, funny, loving friend, brother and Uncle and greatly misunderstood by all (and I loved him).

Widowed Violet, on the other hand, came across as cold, manipulative and was focused on her groundbreaking Scientific research at the cost of other's feelings and I think it was for this reason that it took me a while to get into this listen because I hated what she was putting poor Sebastian through. There were hints as to why she was like that and later in the story it was revealed but it made the first part depressing.

However, in Victorian times sexual equality was non existent and this book aptly describes the roles women of the day were expected and allowed to undertake and the lengths others went to in order for their thoughts, opinions and research to be heard. Violet needed Sebastian for her research..... but he needed her much more but he knew that it was going to be an impossible challenge to break through Violet's shell. There was heartache, secrets, misunderstandings, passion, sex and a hard won touching, tender romance. There was also characters from the previous books as well as family members who were either kind, supportive or thoughtless and amongst it all were funny moments especially when Sebastian describes 'Rakeus Perfectus'.

Worth a credit? I have all of CM's books that are available on Audible and have enjoyed others more but I haven't yet come across any of her books that weren't creditworthy - so YES if you love a good well-written and thought out HR then I'm sure you'll agree. This could easily be a stand-alone listen.

Let’s hear it for the smart women!

I’m so glad we are not stuck back in the old times when our own women degrade other smart women...or are we? I would get so upset at some of the characters for not appreciating their own family members for their work for society. This was a good book and so is the entire series.

One of Courtney's Best

Love this whole book from the dedication to the author's note at the end. Such a lovely story about life, while also being hot and sexy.
