A ONE SCANDALOUS SEASON NOVEL
A Deception Most Reckless
Lady Daphne Bevington would do anything for her maid Kate-including masquerading as Kate and sneaking around the wrong side of London to settle the poor girl's debt. Yet her innocent ruse takes a scandalous turn when "Kate" runs into a handsome gentleman on a secret quest of his own. A moment of passion could cost Daphne her reputation, but how can she ignore the stranger's searing kiss?
An Arrangement Most Wicked
Lord Cormack Northmore is determined to find the immoral peer who ruined his sister. So when he learns that the irresistible woman he knows as "Kate" is the Season's most sought-after debutante, Cormack plans to use her connections to help him set a trap. Now, the closer Cormack gets to uncovering the villain who haunts the ton's ballrooms, the more he realizes that the lovely lady is in danger herself. Will he abandon his quest for revenge-or risk losing his one chance at love?
My Review
Lady Daphne, lost her father in an accident that she blames
herself for. And has dedicated herself to her family and their happiness, and
has decided to never marry no matter how much her mother wishes to change her
mind. When she learns that her closest friend and maid, Kate, has gotten into
some trouble, from a debt for her family, she decides to go about London, in
the wrong part of it, and act the part of a servant to help pay off the debt.
But she doesn’t expect to meet Lord Cormack Northmore, on her adventure, and
after sharing some sizzling embraces, she knows that this will be the only
night that she will be able to enjoy a night in his arms, never to see him
again. But when Cormack recognizes her among the Ton, they engage in a battle
of sorts, of passion and discovering secrets…and before they know it, they are
uncovering a hidden desire that threatens to inflame them both…
I will say that this book just might be my favorite of the
series. After reading all three books, and I did love the third book, but this
installment, I just adored. I loved everything about this story, and it had the
type of story line that really intrigues me…which can be difficult to do when
it comes to regency romance. So many authors write in this sub-genre of
historical romance, so it’s always a delight, to find one that really gets my
interest from the beginning. Of course Lily Dalton, has the writing style that
is very engaging on each page. So you can’t help but get fully into the story
from the first few pages. But the way she develops the characterizations and
the building up of the story line, really had me. You see how inventive this
author is, and the way she puts some unique twists in the story. There is an
underlying mystery in play as well, which kept me guessing from beginning to
end.
The characters were just lovely, and I just loved both of
them. Cormack, was a delight, and boy did he throw some curveballs into the
story, but what a fun one he was. He definitely knows how to take Daphne in
hand, and doesn’t let her get away with deceiving him. Daphne, was just a good
one, and it can be hard to find in historical romance at times, but she is so
passionate and stubborn and a bit willful, but I enjoyed that about her. She
really seemed to brighten the story up and add some adventure into it too.
Never Entice An Earl is a well written romance, of engaging
characters, sensual delights, a beautifully crafted plot, and a story to keep
you fully satisfied…TERRIFIC!!
