Blurb
Perdita, the widowed Duchess of Ormond, keeps a dangerous secret—the truth of how her brutish husband died. But a mysterious avenger seems to know it, too, and when anonymous threats turn into public attacks, there’s only one friend she can turn to for help—her husband’s former secretary, Lord Archer Lisle. The man who witnessed her every heartache. The kind of man whose love she can only dream of…
Will His Love Save Her?
The youngest of the Duke of Pemberton’s five sons, Lord Archer Lisle is used to waiting his turn. For years, he could only stand by, seething, as Perdita suffered at the hands of her husband, but now she’s under threat from another source—one who will stop at nothing to make her pay for the late duke’s death. But the good-natured Archer can be dangerous when crossed—and he’ll do anything to keep the woman he’s adored for so long safe in his arms…
My Review
Lord Archer Lisle, is the youngest of five sons, and has to
work for a living. But there is one reason he has stayed at the same position,
even though it was a fun job to begin with, Perdita. Perdita is the widowed
Duchess of Ormand, has suffered from an abusive marriage, but when it defending
her life, her husband is killed, she knew that this secret must never get out,
for there is only a few that know; her family and Archer. She has always felt a
kinship toward Archer, and now that she is free from her husband, the last
thing she needs is entering a marriage with her heart involved. She doesn’t
believe that she can trust her own judgment, and when Archer starts to be a bit
more progressive in relaying his true feelings for her, Perdita has no idea how
to handle these feelings inside of her, but when a danger threatens her, and
she is constantly having her life put at risk, Archer decides to take action
and protect the woman he loves at all costs, even risking the anger and wrath
of the Duchess herself. But will they be able to resolve matters of the heart
before the danger closes around them and threatens to destroy everything…
Why Lords Lose Their Hearts is the third and last
installment of the series. And oh my have I had such a fun time with this
author. Don’t you just love it when you discover an author and every book you
read is better than the last? Well that is how I feel about Manda Collins, I
just can’t get enough of her. Now this is the last installment of the Wicked
Widows trilogy, but don’t look so sad guys….because I have great news; she has an
upcoming series, the Lords of Anarchy which are closely related to this book.
Which I am super excited for, since in this book, we see four other unattached
brothers….oooh I just can’t wait. This family was a jolly good fun, and I just
wanted to jump in the pages and join in the circus. Despite the fact that they
are all grown men, they still act like five year old. The teasing and gestures,
and oh boy, the parents sure had their hands full with these boys.
The story is enchanting and oh I just love the writing style
of Manda Collins. It’s the type of writing style that has you hooked from the
beginning, and I am amazed that I just discovered this author last year…I
should get grounded or something….LOL…but I have repented of my grave sins, and
Collins is at the top of my reading list from now on. The story itself is at
first seems to be predictable, but that is far from the case. This plot went
different ways and led me on a merry chase, with a couple of adventures,
sensual engagements, and a suspenseful element that added even more depth to
the story. The character development were done pretty well, and I love the
strength and passion of these two, they complimented each other so well, and
you see what a spark they have from the beginning of the story.
Overall a story that had me enthralled from the first page,
a story to enchant, mystify and captivate!! A story with flair and beautifully
drawn characters….a book you don’t want to miss! And that cover: just gorgeous, I love pink and you don't see that color as much, so I always love it and that pose is delectable...I could eat the hero up. :) A SPARKLING GEM!!
