In audio.Have you ever wondered what the other characters in a story were getting upto as the plot went along? This story starts as a fill in the gaps from The Countess from Daniel and Sussette's point of view. While I notice alot of the reviewers did not appreciate the same scenes and conversations, I found the inner monologue that went with many of those key scenes so amusing. The naughty nanny fantasy, how one gets into and then stops a passionate embrace whilst in a carriage with a corpse and the disturbing banned book from which all knowledge is gained. After which the story becomes their own and lacks the humour of the first part of the book. I did find the distraction by kissing a bit overdone and as long as you accept that these are simple uncomplicated characters it is very entertaining. I checked this book out from the library. As the second book in the series, it is a continuation of the first book, "The Countess." I would not recommend reading this book without reading "The Countess" first. The first three quarters of the book follows the first book closely, only from a different point-of-view. I found myself skimming the book and not enjoying it as much. Suzette, the heroine, and Daniel, the hero are great. Suzette keeps Daniel on his toes and he seems to enjoy it. But the humor, laughter, and on-liners that made the first book so great fall flat for me in this book. The mystery seemed to drag on as well. The action parts of the book also didn't excite me. I liked the conclusion, however the journey there was very flat. Overall, read this one to find out what happened to the characters after the first book, but this can otherwise be skipped.
What do You think about The Heiress (2011)?
The story was mediocre but the sexual tension was delicious.

I like how independent Suzzet was in this book.
