Skylark

Skylark, the tenth Company of Rogues novel, brings back Lady Laura Skylark to find her son endangered by forces connected to the man she married instead of Stephen Ball — the neighbor she chose over his proposal long ago. Now Stephen is the only person who can help her, and the mission forces them both to confront feelings neither has moved past. Jo Beverley writes Regency romance with the procedural precision of someone who has studied the period, and Skylark honors the series' established emotional investment in its characters.

Jill Tanner narrates the Regency setting with the period fluency Beverley's novels require. Her command of the social register distinctions that define the era gives the novel's emotional stakes their proper context. At just over twelve and a half hours the audiobook gives the reunion romance room to develop through genuine risk rather than contrived misunderstanding.
