BLURB:
In the latest Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, a vivacious thrill seeker clashes with her dutiful defender—causing irresistible sparks to fly.
Independent and high-spirited, Lady Portia Flagstaff has never been afraid to take a risk, especially if it involves excitement and danger. But this time, being kidnapped and sold into an Arab harem is the outcome of one risk too many. Now, in order to regain her freedom, she has to rely on the deliciously packaged Grayson Devlin, Viscount Blackwood, a man who despises her reckless ways—and stirs in her a thirst for passion.
After losing his mother and two siblings in a carriage accident years ago, Grayson Devlin promised Portia’s dying brother that he’d always watch over his wayward sister. But having to travel to Egypt to rescue the foolhardy girl has made his blood boil. Grayson already has his hands full trying to clear his best friend and fellow Libertine Scholar of a crime he didn’t commit. Worse still, his dashing rescue has unleashed an unforeseen and undesired consequence: marriage. Now it’s more than Portia he has to protect . . . it’s his battered heart.

MY REVIEW:
Disgraced Lords Novel. #3
★★★★★
This story starts in 1813. Lady Portia is at a Cyprian ball in disguise. If she was discovered her reputation would be ruined, but her natural curiosity often got the better of her. She is 22 years old and the man she has loved since she was 16 sees her as a sister . Portia believes she will likely never marry if she cannot have the man she wants.
Grayson is the best friend of Portia's older brother. He has been part of the family since his family died when he was a boy. He would do anything to protect all his friends including go off to war with them.
After the war Portia finds herself in big trouble and it is Grayson
and one of her brothers who rush to the rescue.
This series is about a group of men who have been friends since college. Someone is out to kill or ruin all of them and they have no idea who. There is some exciting adventure and a few sexy scenes. A hero who needs some sense knocked into him, and a very strong and intelligent heroine. A series well worth reading.
