Madams and Mischief Series

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Music isn't the only thing that can heal a broken soul.

In 1892 England, Clair De Lune is a courtesan providing intimate services at Madam Tansley's, and she's never compromised her principles—until now. Hired to rehabilitate the renowned pianist, Julian Cassidy, she finds herself drawn to the bitter, isolated man who's lost more than just the use of his legs. As their therapeutic sessions ignite an all-consuming passion, Clair must choose between protecting her heart by walking away, or continuing her duty even as she falls desperately in love with a man who can never belong to her.

Julian Cassidy's world ended the day his piano crushed not just his body but his spirit. Now wheelchair-bound and furious at fate, he reluctantly accepts help from a woman who refuses to treat him like an invalid. As Clair awakens feelings he thought long dead, he discovers she's stirring more than just his desire to play again. But when his growing love clashes with the reality of who she is, Julian must decide if social and professional ruin is worth following his heart.

When the final notes fade away, will love be enough to bridge the chasm between their worlds?

The virtual voice ruins the experience.

The story line was really interesting and had potential to be great. But there were parts that were rushed through which made some of the scenes feel disjointed. And the narration was filled with so many errors it added a layer of frustration to the story. Also hearing a robot voice attempt to moan was like being doused with a bucket of ice water. 🥴
