"We all have our top ten list of favorite romances. It has been forever since I have read something that enthralled me enough to add to my list. The book must be unique, something that resonates with me on an elemental level; it must have a beautiful storyline, intense passion, and unforgettable characters. Pippa and the Prince of Secrets checks all those boxes." -Reading Rebel Reviews

A Widow Gone Wild

After the tragic ending to her marriage, Pippa, the Countess of Longmere, vows never to fall in love again. The former paragon decides to live life by her own rules, finding new purpose as an agent with Lady Charlotte Fayne’s investigative society.

A Brute with a Noble Heart

After surviving brutal beginnings, Timothy Cullen has become the powerful leader of the mudlarks, a gang of scavengers dealing in goods and information. Known as the Prince of Larks, Cull is a feared and mythical figure in the London underworld, and he lives in the shadows, using his mystique to protect those under his care. Yet beneath his scarred façade beats a secret longing: to be seen by the woman he has loved from afar since he was a lad…

A Love Written in the Stars

Brought together by a deadly mystery, Pippa and Cull discover fiery passion and all-consuming love. Yet their enemies, past and present, are closing in. In order to survive, they must surrender their secrets and trust in love…before time runs out.

Review

"SWOON! I need a Timothy Cullen in my life right now! Damn, Grace keeps hitting us right in the feels...putting so much intensity and passion into her books. I constantly feel as if I'm alongside the characters, experiencing everything."-Raendrop Books ★★★★★

"We all have our top ten list of favorite romances. It has been forever since I have read something that enthralled me enough to add to my list. The book must be unique, something that resonates with me on an elemental level; it must have a beautiful storyline, intense passion, and unforgettable characters. Pippa and the Prince of Secrets checks all those boxes." -Reading Rebel Reviews ★★★★★

"I LOVE a hero that is from the streets like Cull. Gives me Derek Craven vibes....There's a lot of chemistry and attraction between the couple, but Pippa is scared of trusting Cull. Eventually they begin to trust each other with lots of sexy times, too! The mystery is really good and surprised me. I love a book with adventure and mayhem, where the MCs work together side by side... Once again, Grace Callaway has written a quality, sexy, mysterious historical romance!" -Nancy, Goodreads ★★★★★

"This re-telling of a Beauty and the Beast love story focusing on tender acceptance and loving empowerment is heart-stopping. Mixed in are a dangerous mystery and charismatic secondary characters. The power of the love between the couple isn't something you read every day; this includes the exquisite physicality of the novel. The story stirred my emotions and delighted my imagination." -Jenna, BookBub ★★★★★

"There are so many things to love about this story. First, the mystery is actually a mystery. Often times I can figure out the mystery well before the end of the story. Not this time. Grace Callaway has delivered a plot that keeps you engaged the entire time! Next, the MCs are both flawed, but likeable people that you can't help but cheer for from the beginning. Finally, I absolutely love the way Grace Callaway revisits characters from previous books. Her Wanton Wager is one of my all time favorite stories. To have the chance to see how Gavin Hunt behaves as a father of a grown daughter is priceless. If you are looking for a sexy romance and a really great read, I HIGHLY recommend this story!" -Michelle, Goodreads ★★★★★

I loved & enjoyed this book immensely - so far the best in this series! Pippa, the widowed Countess of Longmere, vows never to love again. After a disastrous marriage to Edwin, an upcoming artist, she is disillusioned. All changed after her marriage, nothing she did was acceptable. Her inner light and strengths were dimmed by her arrogant, insensitive husband, who was intimated by her beauty and charms. She allowed him to keep her from her family and loved ones and question her own abilities as a person and artist. With his untimely death due to drugs, Pippa slowly rediscovers her true self as an agent in Lady Fayne's Angel Society - a secret investigative society to help women in the unfair world of men. Little by little Pippa regains her confidence especially when she meets again a boy from 14 years ago, whom she never forgot. Timothy Cullen, "Cull" born out of wedlock, is now the Prince of Larks, the powerful leader of the mudlarks. Cull is feared in the London underground, living in the shadows to protect those under his care, while conducting a lucrative information business. His scarred face, protected by a mask, but he never forgot the young girl who befriended him 14 years ago and with a sweet kiss, has loved ever since. Secretly he has looked after her, until a deadly mystery brings them together. But how can he hope for any life with a society Countess when his duty is to the ones he protects? A wonderful story of how we are the product not of circumstances, but our choices in life. Cull is a noble, loyal, and peaceful man who will not resort to violence - except as a last resort. Pippa is learning that love is not changing who you are, but being accepted and celebrated for your abilities. Love does not diminish you, but allows you to grow to your potential. A romantic love story of acceptance intertwined with murder and mystery that will keep you intrigued! Captivating tale especially since this series is a spin off with the children from MAYHEM IN MAYFAIR, another exceptional series of Ms. Callaway!! Get ready to fall in love!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.25 steamy, suspenseful, second chance stars!
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021
I love everything that Grace Callaway writes because it always hits on my "must have" list for a good story: 1. Actual Plot 2. Some kind of mystery/intrigue to keep things interesting 3. Likeable characters with depth 4. STEAM... And this book delivered on all of those! I also love that her series link with each other (common characters, off-shoot of a book into a separate series, children of couples from earlier stories).

Pippa is the daughter of previous main characters from the Mayhem in Mayfair series (book 2 - Her Wanton Wager) that was widowed a year ago and is still technically in mourning, though she had fallen out of love with her husband well before his passing. When they first met, she was a starry-eyed young woman who romanticized a relationship with a fellow artist, but after they wed, she realized he was not the man she believed him to be. One of the areas of their marriage that she felt disappointment in was their marital relations: Pippa is a passionate woman, but her husband insisted she suppress her desires as it was not "ladylike;" thus, Pippa's sex life was very dissatisfying. She longs to feel like she did once as a teenager when she kissed a boy under the care of her parents: Timothy Cullen. In that one moment, she felt more passion in a single kiss than she felt during her entire marriage. But "Cull" (as he is known now) assumed the role of Prince of Larks, caring for children without homes just as he was in his youth. As a societal lady, it is expected that Pippa either continue in the role of the demure Countess of Longmere or she remarry an upstanding member of the ton. There is no chance she could ever explore the attraction for the man that makes his living trading in the secrets of her peerage.

A street urchin in his youth, Cull felt compelled to assume the role of the Prince of Larks when his predecessor passed away to ensure that the larks had a safe place to call home. The timing, however, was unfortunate as Cull had just shared the most passionate kiss of his life with Pippa Hunt, the daughter of the man that took him in when he was injured and helped him recover. Though Pippa has not seen Cull in many years, he has always kept tabs on her whereabouts (it is his job, after all) and has protected her from afar when necessary. One of the main reasons he has remained hidden is the very visible scars that he received when protecting his charges, and though some mystery is good for business, it is not the only reason he always wears a mask.

But since Pippa decided to join Lady Charlotte's Society of Angels, a charity organization that secretly accepts "missions" from women in need of investigative help, Cull has been more concerned than ever that Pippa will be harmed and has stayed even more involved in her protection than usual. When she chases down the children that unexpectedly rescue her from discovery by a mark, she spies them returning to their leader.... Cull. When she confronts him, the passion between them reignites, but their social standing remains the same. Will they be able to find common ground? Will Cull allow Pippa to see his internal and external scars? And can they unravel the mysterious death of Pippa's client before it's too late for either of them?

What I liked:
--- As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, this book hit all of my "must haves"
--- The mystery was definitely engaging and kept me interested in finding out what would happen next
--- I love that the characters connect back with previous stories so I can revisit some of my fave couples!
--- Steamy goodness!

What I didn't like as much:
--- Sometimes the love scenes were a little over the top for my taste
--- The ending seemed to wrap very quickly; I kind of wanted a little more "connect the dots"

Overall, this was another fun and interesting story with likeable characters, intrigue, and steam!

(Please note that I received an advance copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.)

Plot --- 4.25/5
Main Characters --- 4.25/5
Supporting Cast --- 4/5
Steam Level* --- 3.5/5
Violence --- nothing overly graphic
Language --- not egregious
POV --- 3rd

*Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild (nothing descriptive); 2/5 - 3rd base action/1 home run; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere (a couple of full-on steamy scenes); 4/5 - yes please! (erotica territory); 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all

So much heat and emotion plus a great plot.. I love how Callaway's books are all in the same world and now the next generation is getting their HEAs. Plus we get to see our older favorites and get glimpses of their extended HEAs as parents. (I still love Gavin Hunt!) And I love that Cull got a story. He and Pippa have been through a lot and deserve the all-consuming and uplifting love of a lifetime they find with each other. I really liked how who they are and what they do was never an issue with the other. They supported each other and worked well together, they just had to come to an understanding of their own mind. Also, there was a good mystery with some hints/clues for you to follow but also quite a few twists and surprises. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am never disappointed when Grace Callaway releases a new book. Her characters have depth that pulls me in to their personal history. They feel like real people, warts and all, not just paragons of perfection. These are characters you can fall in love with.

This book is a standalone, but you meet her characters for the first time in other books. This is a new generation, and couples you knew and loved from her other series may make an appearance. This all contributes to a rich, family, backstory feel that keeps me coming back for more.

Hotness Warning ⚠️
These books are steamy, a little naughty, and not for the faint of heart. There is no glossing over the intimacy. The scene is set and you feel the heat.

4.0 out of 5 stars A swoontastic childhood friends to lovers romance!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2024

Pippa and Cullen were an adorable couple. There was so much positivity, encouragement and growth in their relationship and as corny as it sounds, the richness of their love helped them grow as individuals too. Pippa is a widow and her former marriage to a gaslighting nob made her feel like something was fundamentally wrong with her when in reality, everything that was wrong came with the (ex)husband. I loved that she became a part of Lady Charlotte's Society of Angels and how it reunites her with an old "friend" and the man who gave her her first kiss, Cullen. He's the Prince of Secrets, the one who oversees the Mud Larks and their extensive information network. Cullen has also secretly never gotten over his infatuation turned love for Pippa. He's watched over her (in a non-stalker way) over the years and when they finally reunite due to their connecting cases, the chemistry between them is explosive. I loved how smitten he was over her (a total simp) and how he helped her see that there was nothing wrong with her all this time, especially not in the bedroom. 😉 I love how she grows more confident in herself and how her happiness returns being around him and the Mud Larks. Their steamy moments set my Kindle aflame—let's just say that Callaway knows how to write dirty talkers well! 😂 Seriously, their steamy scenes were great and added so much to their relationship, too. Overall, I love this series so much and Callaway's writing in general.

Lead female was annoying, start to finish. The whole ‘We are Charlie’s Angels and stay out of our way’ mentality was tiring.
Lead male was decent, but considering he likely comes with a disease from all the whores he’s ‘more than satisfied’ from his friends brothel, I don’t think he has a right to get possessive if the lead female chooses to sleep with men other than him. Totally hypocritical…and the TSTL lead female doesn’t even ask, or call him on it!

Likeable characters and a mystery too. I really like this series. The reason for the 4 stars is that some of the sex is just a bit too graphic for me. Plus there is a bit too much of it! Otherwise worth reading.
