Synopsis:
From the New York Times bestselling author of To Desire a Devil comes this thrilling tale of danger, desire, and dark passions.
A MAN CONTROLLED BY HIS DESIRES . . .
Infamous for his wild, sensual needs, Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, is searching for a savage killer in St. Giles, London's most notorious slum. Widowed Temperance Dews knows St. Giles like the back of her hand-she's spent a lifetime caring for its inhabitants at the foundling home her family established. Now that home is at risk...
A WOMAN HAUNTED BY HER PAST . . .
Caire makes a simple offer-in return for Temperance's help navigating the perilous alleys of St. Giles, he will introduce her to London's high society so that she can find a benefactor for the home. But Temperance may not be the innocent she seems, and what begins as cold calculation soon falls prey to a passion that neither can control-one that may well destroy them both.
A BARGAIN NEITHER COULD REFUS

My Opinion:
I thought this was a very good book for a first in a series. I am definitely eager to read more about these characters and from this author. Very well-rounded storytelling, left me satisfied with the way it was presented, and the effect it had on me. Any romance lover would really enjoy this read! A little different than an everyday romance.

I've been seeing this one around a lot. Sounds like a good one next time I'm in the mood for a historical romance.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds deliously wicked. I like historical fiction so this one could make my reading list.
