A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel is a feast of twisty, gothic, atmospheric mystery and hot, forbidden love on the marsh. It is the second of The Doomsday Books duology, and an excellent follow-up. I did like it quite as much as The Secret Life of Country Gentleman, but it is still a good mystery with twists and turns and two hurt men who find comfort and ultimately forgiveness. I won’t say more because the journey is the best part of the book. 

I listened to the audiobook. Martyn Swain did an excellent job in characterization and interpretation.

KJ Charles continues to be a favorite historical author for me. I look forward to (and try not to be impatient for) her next book.
