About this listen

When faced with an unwanted marriage, Alice Rosemeyer accepts an invitation to the estate of Larkhall. Determined to earn her future security without a husband, she begins operating as the anonymous Ace of Hearts, writing letters and offering advice on behalf of the men eager to secure a match at the close of the London season. If she can manage to keep her identity secret, her reputation intact, and avoid the arrogant house guest, Mr. Thomas Herring, she might just call herself successful.

When Thomas Herring's sister marries an indebted man because of a love letter, he has no choice but to marry into money himself. Invited to stay at Larkhall, he sets his sights on the wealthy sister of his host. When she appears indifferent, he stumbles upon an advertisement: a gentleman offering assistance in matters of the heart. An ace, so he is called. But when he turns out to be she, and also a guest at the same house, his task is further complicated—especially as Alice proves herself to be as captivating as she is clever.

With reputations, secrets, and more than one heart at risk, Alice and Thomas become trapped in a game with no rules, a game neither intended to play. Had they been wrong to play love for a fool?

Annoying reader, tepid story. Mediocre at best.

The concept of Ace is intriguing, but the book fails on every other level. It’s another book where there’s no romance til the last 5 minutes when they declare themselves. Blah! The BANE of clean romance, but there are many clean romance writers who get the romance right and don’t need to wait until the last 5 seconds to wrap it all together with a nice bow.
Not sure I’m a fan of Ashtyn. Definitely won’t pay for one of her books unless they improve significantly.
