Well, if anyone had a good reason for revenge ‘tis Ian Wentworth in The Duke’s Captive.
And, if anyone had a good reason to not be found it’s Lady Viola Bennington-Jones in The Duke’s Captive.
Shall we start for his motivation for revenge? Five years prior, the duke, hell-bent on self-destruction finds himself captured, drugged and left for dead by a group of women he only now remembers partially. To date, he finds he still struggles with the psychological aspects of his captivity, but, occasionally recalls minute flashes. Those flashes include Viola, as she is of the family who had him kidnapped in the first place.
Yes, not only is Lady Viola one of the kidnappers, but she also harbors another secret that will ruin her and mark her young son for life should she be discovered. She is the artist of a very exclusive and explicit set of nudes displayed in various men’s clubs and bordellos.
Now, on the forefront of this story, a reader must ask herself, how on earth said Lady could redeem herself from such nefarious obstacles? But then said reader finds herself drawn in to this story and loses any sleep she attempts by not being able to set said book down and, well, sleep. Enjoy.
Another great historical romance review. Interesting that even though it’s historical, you could easily see that predicament in modern times’ – pictures that could ruin people’s reps.
Oh, man I would probably love these stories, but I blush just looking at the covers! I’ll have to get me a grocery-bag dummie cover to wrap around it. That, and a cold wash cloth for my head. ; )
Happy Friday everyone!
Keep it up Kathy, and I’m going to start reading historical romance.
