Add To

A fiercely independent duchess and a brooding, reclusive earl are tested by the demands of desire in this unforgettable romance from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Liesand A Night of Forever.

For Rose Deverill, one husband was enough. As the wealthy widow of the Duke of Roxborough, she has cultivated an unsavory reputation meant to discourage wife hunters. Thanks to a string of steamy affairs, Rose is perfectly content to be known by polite society as the “Wicked Widow”—until she’s reunited with the man she fell in love with at age fifteen. Their bedroom encounters are scorching, but it breaks Rose’s heart to wonder whether her reckless behavior ruined her for Philip Flagstaff.

The second son of the Earl of Cumberland, Philip never wanted the title. But after Philip’s older brother, Robert, follows him into the Battle of Waterloo, his worst fears come to pass. Now Robert lies in a soldier’s grave, and Philip is determined never to pass on the inheritance to children of his own. Then Rose appears, soothing the pain with her delightful curves and passionate kisses. The notorious Duchess seems to want nothing from him—and yet Philip has never ached to give a woman more.

Philip Flagstaff,  the Earl of Cumberland inherited his title from his brother.  It was his fault his brother died, so he is determined not to benefit from what happened.  He has two younger brothers so he doesn't need to marry to ensure the title.  He will just make sure everything is safe for those that depend on him. 
Rose Deverill,  the Duchess of Roxborough is called the Wicked Widow.  Her much older husband died just after his son was born,  and she has plenty of money so she can do as she likes. 
Her lover has no more need for marriage than she,  so they are happy as they are.  Aren't they? 
Pressure starts to increase on our hero to do the right thing,  but he has a very good reason not to. When someone's life is in danger some old friends are called on to help. 
A tense and emotional story with lovely strong characters.  There are lots of exciting and unexpected things happening. You will meet old friends from previous stories.  If you haven't read the others this will tempt you.  I have loved all of them.  The stories just keep getting better and better.  I loved it.

Addicted To The Duke (Imperfect Lords #1) by Bronwen Evans. Historical Romance ARC Review.


Add To

A lovestruck lady charms the duke of her dreams during an expedition on the high seas in this sexy, swashbuckling novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans.

Alexander Sylvester Bracken, Duke of Bedford, has a mission: sail to the Mediterranean and track down Lady Hestia Cary’s missing father. It is a straightforward task, but for two rather vexing complications. First, the sea holds painful memories; second, for her own safety, Hestia is to accompany him. As Alex battles the demons of his past, he must also resist Hestia’s surprisingly skillful attempts at seduction. After all, Alex has sworn to leave her untouched, and he intends to honor that vow—until he can properly ask the Earl’s blessing.

Ever since His Grace rescued Hestia from the arms of a Turkish pirate six long years ago, her heart has belonged to Alex. So when he agrees to help find her father, Hestia is thrilled. Although Alex tries to hide it, there’s passion in his eyes—and a frisson of desire in the air—whenever they meet. On board ship, miles from home, Alex won’t be able to deny her any longer. But with scoundrels lying in wait, she may not live to tell the tale of her conquest.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


A few years ago Alexander Bracken,  now the Duke of Bedford rescued a young girl from a man he knew all too well .
Now she needs his help again.  Can he return to face the darkness of his past ?
Lady Hestia Cary is used to life without her father, the Earl of Pembroke,  but when her distant cousin declares the Earl dead and himself the heir Hestia knows she is in trouble. 
Our hero is a recovering addict forced to take a hard look at himself and how he is dealing with the past.  The islands in the Mediterranean hold lots of danger and extremely unpleasant memories.  Our heroine knows how dangerous the Mediterranean can be,  but England could be just as bad for her.  There is only one man she can turn to. 
A difficult and emotional journey for our characters.  You can't help but feel for them,  even if you want to tell the hero to get his head out of his butt. 
A story that will catch your attention straight away and keep it all the way through.  A thoroughly enjoyable story.

A Night Of Forever (The Disgraced Lords #6) by Bronwen Evans. Historical Romance ARC Review.

Add To 

Distrust is no match for desire as a proper young miss and a self-professed rogue hunt down a murderer in this thrilling Disgraced Lords novel from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A Taste of Seduction.

Arend Aubury trusts no one besides his fellow Libertine Scholars. After his family escaped from France, penniless and persecuted, only the Scholars took him in. So when the stepdaughter of the villainess who has been plotting against them approaches Arend with allegations against their enemy, he suspects a double cross. Yet Isobel is a tantalizing prize, with lips as sweet as champagne and skin as creamy as Camembert. Is she a feast for the senses—or a bitter trap?

Lady Isobel Thompson dreams of marrying an honorable gentleman with a spotless reputation, a trait that Arend seems to lack completely. But Isobel believes that her stepmother is responsible for her father’s death, and only Arend has the skills to uncover the truth. As a cover, Arend suggests a fake betrothal—and soon Isobel finds herself forgetting that their courtship is a ploy. He’s so different from the man of her fantasies, and yet he’s so terribly handsome, so dangerously intoxicating—and all Isobel wants is more.
 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


Arend Aubury, Baron Labourd is part of the Libertine Scholars, but feels himself to only be on the outside because he doesn't deserve to be a part of the group.  There is a woman set on destroying all of them because of the actions of their fathers.  Now they know who she is but need to prove it. 
Lady Isobel Thompson believes that her stepmother killed her father but needs help proving it.  Her new friends could help because they also have reason to hate the woman. 
Our hero is very emotionally damaged by his past, and has serious trust issues.  Our heroine is totally innocent and can't understand why those closest to her can't trust her. 
This is part of a series that is better read in order, although you could read any one of them on it's own and enjoy it.  There is a lot of danger , intrigue and some very sexy scenes.  Our villains are very dangerous and have no scruples.  Anyone who gets in the way will be killed or used to get revenge. A very exciting and surprising climax to the series.  I have read most,  but not all of them and loved every one.

A Taste Of Seduction. (The Disgraced Lords #5) by Bronwen Evans. ARC Review.




The flames of desire fuel a torrid reunion as bestselling author Bronwen Evans returns with another captivating novel of the Disgraced Lords. See why Jen McLaughlin raves, “Bronwen’s historical romances always make the top of my reading list!”

Lady Evangeline Stuart chose to wed a tyrant with a title, or so society believes. That was five years ago—five long years she could have spent with her first and only love: Lord Hadley Fullerton, the second son of the Duke of Claymore. Now Evangeline is a widow, and her soul cries out for Hadley. But when they see each other at last, everything has changed. The passion in his eyes has been corrupted by betrayal. Somehow Evangeline must regain Hadley’s trust—without revealing the secret that would spoil the seduction.

Hadley is determined not to be distracted by Evangeline. He and the other Libertine Scholars are in pursuit of an enemy who has been striking at them from the shadows, and Evangeline’s mere presence could be dangerous. But with one smile, one touch, one taste of Evangeline’s lips, Hadley’s resolve is overpowered by much more pleasant memories. As the two enter into a discreet affair, Hadley vows to give her his body, never his heart. That she will have to earn.
 


This is part of a series that must be read in order.
Lord Hadley Fullerton is all set to elope with the love of his life.  Until fate steps in and now it's five years later. He and his friends have someone out to destroy them all. They have someone they suspect but no proof.
Widowed Lady Evangeline Stuart has come down to London to find a reliable man of affairs to look after her young son's estate.  At least that is what she has told herself. She also has unfinished business to discuss with the man who abandoned her.
Our hero has always protected those he loves. The very idea that he failed is torment to him. Our heroine has suffered since she was married off to a monster. Will the real truth come out or will someone's need for revenge cost them everything ?.
An all action, sexy adventure. You can't help but feel the emotions that pour off the page. Our Libertine Scholars have a very dangerous task to complete.
I need the next book desperately.
