A new historical romance series from USA Today best seller Grace Callaway.

He saved her life when she was a girl. Now she is a woman determined to heal his heart...

Spirited debutante Lady Olivia McLeod, cherished daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Strathaven, has two interests: solving mysteries and winning the love of her rescuer and secret crush, the infamous Duke of Hadleigh. When Livy joins Lady Charlotte Fayne's charity for young ladies and discovers that it is a front for a covert investigative agency, she is thrilled. Livy dedicates herself to solving a deadly case. Little does she realize that the path to danger will also lead to her heart's deepest desire.

Notorious widower Ben Wodehouse, the Duke of Hadleigh, has only one goal in mind: redemption. After his tortured past, he channels his demons toward helping others, and the last thing he wants or deserves is innocence. Yet temptation taunts him by transforming the little girl he once saved into an alluring young woman. A dozen years younger than him and the daughter of his friend, Livy is everything he cannot have...and everything he needs.

Will perilous secrets, past and present, tear Livy and Ben apart? Will succumbing to their forbidden desires lead to their happily ever after? Find out in this steamy, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance filled with mystery and adventure!

Grace's books feature sizzling-hot historical romance, fun and feel-good happily ever afters, and exciting mystery and adventure. Her books are stand-alones that can also be enjoyed as part of her interconnected series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An exciting rollercoaster of a love story!

This book delivers on a variety of levels. A slow burn, friends to lovers story. The plot is intricate, intimate, and all consuming. The couple’s passion burns through the pages.

Ben and Livy’s bond was forged when Ben saved Livy as a child. It was a powerful bond of the strongest of friendships. Then Livy grows up and finds herself in love with the man she has known as her best friend for most of her life.

Ben is a widower that is jaded and damaged from a past full of mistakes. He fought a plethora of demons including violence and substance abuse. He pulls himself out of this, yet still feels his soul is too tarnished for the likes of Livy. He has to have control over all aspects of his life including his romantic relationships. I enjoyed his journey where at first he lets his past define him to his epiphany that he can be a good man. A man that can love and is worthy of love.

Livy is strong willed and fierce. She will not allow societal restraints determine what she does. She is in a constant battle between love and independence. All the while she stays true to herself. I loved her total allegiance and all encompassing love for Ben.

All the secondary characters were strong and well written. Especially Charlie. Charlie knows who she is and what she wants. She is a mentor and confidante. I liked Charlie for her sense of justice and loyalty to her fellow women.

The platonic friendship between the two main characters was haunting and beautiful at the same time. The friendship defined both their lives. Watching the platonic love blossom into romantic love was breathtaking. Both characters had such an emotional journey. Ben’s hatred of himself was palpable. But coupled with that is Livy’s desire for his salvation.

The plot was stunning. It floated through a long period of time. There was backstory through flashbacks, it wasn’t redundant and filled in the gaps. It showcased the beauty of the love from the couple both platonic and romantic. A slow burn, it moved at a good pace with plenty of story to fill in when the two main characters were not together. The secondary characters were vivid and three dimensional.

I loved everything about this book! It was haunting, even tragic at times. At other times it was an extremely passionate love affair. It is a very strong start to a new series. If you enjoy slow burn, intricate, and passionate reads about redemption with a great happily ever after, this book is for you!

Charlie’s Angels set in the 1800’s

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is ridiculous in the best way. It's Charlie's Angels set in the 1800's with trope heaviness that I just could not stop reading. It's a little bit silly, but I'm telling you, it's 100% fun.

I absolutely had to set aside my logic cap for a good portion of this book, because, I'll be real with you, most of it was ridiculously over the top. I mean, a leader named Charlie, a group of female investigators, and literal mustache twirly villains serving up mysterious new drugs to unsuspecting members of society? It's like Austin Powers and Charlie's Angels had a baby and time traveled back to England. The girls, including our FMC, train to fight, dress in disguises that are insanely over the top (circus performers, anyone?), and manage to solve riddles that I would have been scratching my noggin for days over. In no way is that realistic. But it is freaking fun. I'm telling you I didn't honestly pay half way attention to the romance (which was okay and pretty run of the mill age-gap, friends to lovers). I was just supremely entertained by the girl gang, insane shenanigans that were going on all over London.

Also, can we talk about the fact that the villain of this book is thought to be Chinese, a la every old school action movie where the villain is vaguely not American. But ya know what. He's not chinese. He is a white man in a bad wig and assuming get-up. Like, a thousand points to Grace for flipping that trope around. It's just such a nice change from the villain being a minority. Loved that.

This book was fun and if it wasn't written well, I probably would have hated it. But it made me go rewatch the OG Charlie's Angela with loml Drew Barrymore, so it's a winner in my book.

Overwrought

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

I felt the story line to be stupid and extremely unlikely. The prose was nicely written and the editing decent, but some details were way off. Livy is wearing a coronet at a formal dinner; the only time coronets are worn is at Coronations, so that would not have happened. Children eating at a formal dinner table; not done. The Duchess cooking something for her husband? Difficult to contemplate. I will not bother with this author again, even if she has won awards for her writing. One always suspends belief with a novel, but my imagination could not stretch enough to embrace this story. The author also kept harping on the age difference but in that era it was far from uncommon.

A really delightful first ion series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a really delightfully written first book in this very promising series. It is a story with plenty of suspense and emotion. All the characters are amazingly crafted and magnificently portrayed. This is a tale that gets a little steamy at times and will keep you enthralled all the way through.

Liked the storyline

Sadly a DNF for me. I just didn’t like the style of writing. I liked the storyline and the fact that it takes the reader into the darker side of life in that time period.

A Fun Historical Spin on Charlie's Angels

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was such an enjoyable historical romance that had everything! The story had excitement, romance, steam, friendship, and espionage. It was a thrilling adventure from start to finish.

When it came to the romance and the fact that there was an age gap introduced when the female heroine was younger, I was somewhat apprehensive. However, the way it was executed in this novel took away all of my original apprehension. There was a clear difference in the platonic relationship between the female heroine and male hero when they were both younger to when they discovered the romantic relationship as older characters.

I also loved the spin and twist with "Charlie's Angels" involved in this story. Surprisingly, it took me halfway through the story to discover that the coincidences were intentional.

This was my first Grace Callaway read but it certainly will not be my last! I can't wait to dive into more of her works!

Lady Charlotte's Society of Angels

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on June 29, 2021

This romance was a roller coaster. The parts I loved where 5 star, the parts I didnt were 2-3 star, so its averaged out to 4 stars. From the day Livy fell into the lake as girl and Ben rescued her, she was fated to be loyal to him. Now an adult, the puppy loyalty of her girlish self matures into something deeper and she encourages Ben to see her as the woman she has become. All the while London is plagued by a more deadly derivative of the Opium drug and investigations are needed to bring the culprit to justice.

Unfortunately, I didn't get along well with Livy. I don't like characters that are too perfect. An 18 year old with two months experience is the world's greatest investigator. Add to that Livy insisted first on lying to Ben about what she was doing, and then it was purely his responsibility to change his expectations. Livy didn't give up or compromise a single thing to make this romance work and I don't like the one sidedness of it. I mean the man told her upfront about all his clandestine activities and all his addictions, he deserves her to be honest with him too.

I did love that this was a genuinely interesting murder mystery alongside the romance. It was well structured with many twists and turns, it was perhaps a particularly deadly few months for the ton but you cant win them all. I like the inclusion of multiple riddles in their adventures, getting back to the infallibly spys I kind of wish I'd seen them mistep once and stumble backwards into a different clue. It was good overall.

This book was very steamy with multiple scenes sprinkled throughout, I thought it was very well balanced overall. These characters carry a very clear D/s relationship throughout their sexual exploits with Ben takingcharge, which is interplayed with their non-sexual life where Livy clearly rides rodshod over Ben. It does a very good job of ensuring the sexual activities always have enthusiastic consent even when their are other communication issues in the relationship.
