No Life for a Lady (Ladies of the Order Book 5) Kindle Edition
♥ Read the final thrilling installment of the Ladies of the Order series! ♥
After almost a year spent playing chaperone to Mr Daventry’s female enquiry agents, Miss Trimble knows she must find a new position. All his agents are married, and so what other reason could he have for calling her to his office late at night? Except her employer is a master matchmaker, a man who has discovered her true identity, knows her real name and her darkest secret. A man who leaves her no choice but to confront her past and work alongside his client—the illegitimate son of an earl.
Alexander Grayson believes he knows who killed his brother. But he needs proof and cannot simply barge into a man’s home and rummage in his armoire. The perfect solution presents itself in the guise of a woman hiding from her past. But when the lady arrives expecting him to hire her as his enquiry agent, she is stunned to find he has a more shocking proposal.
Can a woman everyone believes is dead overcome her distrust of men?
Will the couple’s shared goals lead to more than friendship?

About the author

As a lover of history, Adele stumbled on her first historical romance novel after being lured by a title similar to a Shakespeare play. Consequently, she discovered a passion for the Regency era, for bucks in breeches and illicit midnight liaisons.
Adele lives in Shropshire. She spends her time writing, watching period dramas and wandering around stately homes looking for a time portal back to the 19th century.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseNo Life for a Lady, by Adele Clee, is the last book in her fantastic Ladies of the Order series set in England during the Regency period. Each of Adele Clee’s other series (wonderful reading, btw!) consist of four books. However, there are FIVE books in this series. Woven within an incredible stand-alone plot, the heroes and heroines in the first four books make appearances, giving the reader a pleasant look into how their lives have turned out. For me, No Life for a Lady is an amazing literary feast celebrating the series.
Having read all of Adele Clee’s books, most recently the Ladies of the Order, I have been waiting with great anticipation for this amazing book. No Life for a Lady surpassed all my wishes for a wonderful read. The emotions it drew from me were both bittersweet and joyful. Bittersweet because it is the end of a fantastic series, but joyful because two long-suffering, cruelly treated people find true love and despicable villains finally receive long overdue justice.
When the Order’s female enquiry agents (heroines) in the first four books are not investigating and actively working for the Order, they live in a home run by Miss Trimble. However, Miss Trimble is no mere chaperone or housekeeper. She is highly educated and becomes a friend to each woman. But Miss Trimble is not her name and she is hiding from her past in fear.
Mr. Daventry, the Order’s leader, introduces her to Mr. Alexander Grayson to aid them both with solving a mystery from the past that has viciously affected both of their lives. Surrounded by cruelty, lies and life-threatening danger, she and Alexander must learn to trust each other in order to protect themselves as they seek to learn the secret of the mystery.
In No Life for a Lady, Adele Clee has spun a thrilling mystery within a heart-warming romance. No Life for a Lady is an absolutely amazing book. I highly recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA beautifully written story. I absolutely loved Grayson & Olivia’s story. She was left for dead when she was rescued. Olivia lived a lie for seven years know Daventry wants her to resume he identity when everyone believes she’s dead.
Grayson is illegitimate and has known Daventry since school when he suggests marrying Olivia so they both can put closure to their dilemmas he agrees.
Olivia is shocked what he suggests but agrees.
They both believe her brother Hamilton is responsible for her beating and 2 deaths but things are not what they appear.
As Olivia and Grayson grow closure so does a manipulator and killer.
A wonderful story with a beautiful ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book had me reading most of the night. The plot was great and full of twists and turns I couldn't believe who the leader was. Love r
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI was under the assumption that this series only had 4 books, imagine my surprise to find one more. Another example of a well written book with intriguing characters, mystery and romance.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was a good ending to the series. From the previous books, Miss Trimble was definitely was too rigid, but it was nice to see her true character and to learn her story. I liked Grayson from the beginning. I love stories where the couple marries first with the love growing from honesty and friendship. Of course, there was mystery and intrigue, and a problem for the Order to solve, but there was happy ending for all.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWell this lady finally finds her happiness, but what a great journey!
With her signature mystery, suspense and wonderful romance, Adele has outdone herself with the last in this intriguing series!!
Finally Miss Trimble, the chaperone, gets her own story and we find out all about her!
She ends up with Alexander, who is expecting an inquiry agent but finds much more in Olivia!
You will not be able to stop until you turn the last page and sigh....
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really enjoyed the story. The blend of danger and romance make for an exciting tale. The hero falls in love despite not believing in it and the heroine falls in love even though she distrusts men. A satisfying tale.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLoved it and so sad for this series to end! Just when you think you know who the culprit is, Clee throws in a twist. I loved the relationship between Olivia and Grayson. After reading all the books in this series, I believe I will go back and read Daventry's story again. Heck, maybe all of them. They are all great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance and mystery
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWhat wasn’t to enjoy about this story, romance and mystery, two of my favourite elements in a story. I had been waiting for Miss Olivia Trimble’s story and I wasn’t disappointed. I didn’t solve the mystery, which is always a bonus. The two main characters were very engaging, Alexander hadn’t experienced love during his childhood and didn’t expect to experience it. The part I enjoyed the most was the relationship between Olivia and Alexander, I just loved the way it developed. Alexander was such a tease and had me laughing out loud on occasions. There were also little cameos of past characters which I always enjoy. I’m looking forward to reading the new series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely adored this installment
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFabulous and the perfect ending to this series - intrigue, mystery , murder and mayhem.
Alexander and Olivia are made for each other - their chemistry and banter make this a super awesome read. Ms. Clee is a master story teller and just keeps the readers thrilled.
Steam Level: open lovemaking scenes
Note : Please read the series in order to appreciate the characters development and gain maximum enjoyment from the series.
