About this audiobook
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan continues her bestselling Rogue Files series with this captivating romance that will thrill her many fans.
She doesn’t care about love…
Despite being surrounded by her happily wed sisters, Nora Langley prefers botany to ballrooms and would rather spend a lifetime in her laboratory than consider affairs of the heart. An expert herbalist, Nora has been masquerading as her late physician father for years, dispensing invaluable medical advice. She corresponds with people all over the world, including an old army colonel. But when the man shows up on her doorstep, he is nothing like she expected—he is a young, handsome heir to a dukedom who suddenly threatens everything she holds dear.
He only cares about duty…
Constantine Sinclair arrives on the Langley doorstep in a desperate bid to save the woman who raised him, the Duchess of Birchwood … only to discover that the venerable doctor he expected is a bold and lovely charlatan. Furious at the deception, he vows to reveal her secrets. Determined to prove her skills, Nora promises to save the duchess in exchange for Con keeping her secret. Con reluctantly agrees… and soon Nora’s brilliant, headstrong ways are throwing his carefully controlled life into chaos. What happens when the rigid soldier begins to lose his grip on his heart?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I ended up listening to the book instead of reading it through a different app bc of the poor reviews I read for it. The poor reviews were totally undeserving. If you liked the previous 2 novels in this series, you will enjoy this one.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am a little surprised by how good this was especially after reading ‘The Virgin and the Rogue’. Nora was a strong heroine that was outspoken, cared little for what others thought of her, and was true to herself while Constantine was always supportive in all of Nora’s endeavors, even the idea of her furthering her education in medicine and becoming a physician despite the views of women and medicine during that era. I thought her and Constantine (brooding hero in all its many shapes and forms) made a great duo, and what I enjoyed the most was how unrushed their romance was. The slow-burn of these enemies turned lovers' historical romance was everything, making a small piece of me wishing their story never ended.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really did like it, though the hero was a bit more clueless about love and communication than I could take. And the heroine was more than a bit immature and didn’t develop out of it. And while I love most of Caroline Morris’s reading, she makes the male characters sound like they have a dreadful sore throat, and sometimes he sounded whiny. As a vocalist, I wanted to sit her down and get her to relax her throat. All that said, worth a read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Beware the experimental herbalist!It's that Nora ... again! The Nora Langleywho's happiest concocting various healing substances, setting bones, and generally physicking those around her. The same Nora who in 'While the Duke was Sleeping' had inadvertently given her sister something to alleviate her menses pain that ended up having an aphrodisiac effect. That was an interesting factor in the mix!Well Nora's still using her healing abilities. This time however she ends up using ducal heir Constantine Sinclair with as a test subject using just a touch of her ahem! pain medicine, and once again the path of mischief opens up in unexpected new ways.Con, formerly an army colonel had been communicating with Nora's father so imagine his horror when he realizes he's been bearing his worries to a woman! Not the feted Doctor--but his charlatan (in Con's eyes) daughter.He does give her the chance to assist with the problemsof chronic pain debilitating the woman he looks upon as a mother, the Duchess of Birchwood. That experience, taking Nora from her laboratory to polite society does leave some in doubt. And testing the mixture on Con, well that's not something that was planned, but then even the best of plans can go astray, and after all this is Nora!Nora's story is highly amusing, as one would expect.An enjoyable read!A HarperCollins ARC via NetGalley
