The audiobook was a dud for me.  Mostly I'm not a fan of the narrator.  The way he portrays intense emotion or passion is not it, in my opinion.

It's a typical romance with a detective who specializing in going under cover and a bartender at a certain kind of bar meeting and sparks flying.  Problem is they're in (I believe) Victorian era London and their relationship would be a crime.

Of course there's plenty of side drama happening too with family, work, and societal expectations.

It's fine.  If you like romances, particular those by KJ Charles or The Last Binding series, you'd probably really enjoy this.
