    About this audiobook

    When scholarly Miss Ivy Wareham receives word that she's one of four young ladies who have inherited Lady Celeste Beauchamp's estate with a magnificent private library, she packs her trunks straightaway. Unfortunately, Lady Celeste's nephew, the rakish Quill Beauchamp, Marquess of Kerr, is determined to interrupt her studies one way or another . . .

    Bequeathing Beauchamp House to four bluestockings-no matter how lovely they are to look at-is a travesty, and Quill simply won't have it. But Lady Celeste's death is not quite as straightforward as it first seemed, and if Quill hopes to solve the mystery behind her demise, he'll need Ivy's help. Along the way, he is surprised to learn that bookish Ivy stirs a passion and longing that he has never known. This rogue believes he's finally met his match-but can Quill convince clever, skeptical Ivy that his love is no fiction?

    Contains mature themes.

    Manda Collins

    Manda Collins grew up on a combination of Nancy Drew books and Jane Austen novels, and her own brand of Regency romantic suspense is the result. An academic librarian by day, she investigates the mysteries of undergraduate research at her alma mater, and holds advanced degrees in English Lit and Librarianship. Her debut novel, How to Dance with a Duke, spent five weeks on the Nielsen Bookscan Romance Top 100 list, was nominated for an RT Reviewer's Choice Award for best debut historical romance, and finaled in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence contest. Both How to Entice an Earl and Why Dukes Say I Do were selected for inclusion in Eloisa James's Reading Romance column. Why Earls Fall in Love, the second book in her Wicked Widows series, was called "sparkling romance" by Publishers Weekly and is set in Bath, England, one of her favorite cities in the world.

      Received an ARC for voluntary review for netgalley. This was a good regency romance. We have murder, mystery and of course the romance. Ivy and Quill meet, and start off with a rocky relationship and they do not like each other, but that changes as they spend time with each other discovering who killed Quinn's Aunt. Ivy is not the detested blue stocking he started out thinking of her as. There are four other blue stocking as they are referred to, and each have their own special traits. Good start to new series.

      I enjoyed the premise and the strong female characters. I also liked having a mystery and romance in one novel. But, the pacing was slower than I would've like and there wasn't enough romantic tension or anticipation. The hero and heroine fell into bed less than 24 hours after meeting without any hesitation or preamble. Also, the mystery failed to fully gain my interest and held only a couple of mild surprises. Even so, I enjoyed the read well enough.

      Ready Set Rogue by Manda CollinsA Studies in Scandal Novel #1Quill, Marquess of Kerr, believes his recently deceased aunt was duped by four females into bequeathing her estate to them. Quill sets off to make things “right” and in so doing steps on a few toes, including those of Ivy the heroine of this story. The other three bluestockings are introduced along with the cousin and sister of Quill, a murderer provides a mystery to be solved and of course there is the romance between Quill and Ivy that takes place.From me this gets a three. It was okay but did not wow me. The meet-cute was so-so, I did not feel a true connection between Quill & Ivy or how he so easily and quickly compromised her, the conversations were a bit stilted between the couple and perhaps it was a wee bit predictable. That said, I did enjoy the story and am very curious about Daphne the mathematician. She intrigued me more than any of the other bluestockings. This is the first book I have ready by this author and I would be willing to read another since so many have rated her books highly. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the copy of this boo. This is my honest review. 3 Stars

      The beginning of this book was a hoot. Lily and Quill's first interaction with each other was entertaining. I liked that Lily was ignorant of Quill and not impressed by his status. She was more worried about her books and not afraid to speak up. I would have done the same thing in her situation. I don't like it when people touch my books. So I especially would not have put up with leaving them behind because my ride had no room. I would have found another way to get to my destination. Yet, after Quill and Lily's first meeting. I had lost some of my luster for this book. The mystery aspect of this book was a nice touch but it was lost by the uninteresting other characters in this story. After, a while Quill and Lily were thrown into this category as well. Although, as stated this book did have some good features about it that did keep me reading.
