by Madeline Hunter
Publisher ~ Kensington Books
Genres ~ Historical Romance
From New York Times bestselling author Madeline Hunter comes the latest sexy tale of three untamable dukes and the women who ignite their decadent desires . . .
HE MAY BE A DEVIL
He's infamous, debaucherous, and known all over town for his complete disregard for scandal, and positively irresistible seductions. Gabriel St. James, Duke of Langford, is obscenely wealthy, jaw-droppingly handsome, and used to getting exactly what he wants. Until his attention is utterly captured by a woman who refuses to tell him her name, but can't help surrendering to his touch . . .
BUT SHE'S NO ANGEL EITHER . . .
Amanda Waverly is living two lives—one respectable existence as secretary to an upstanding lady, and one far more dangerous battle of wits—and willpower—with the devilish Duke. Langford may be the most tempting man she's ever met, but Amanda's got her hands full trying to escape the world of high-society crime into which she was born. And if he figures out who she really is, their sizzling passion will suddenly boil over into a much higher stakes affair . . .
In the second book to the Decadent Dukes Society series author Madeline Hunter creates a story of intrigue and star-crossed love that takes the reader into a roller coaster of emotions.
Amanda Waverly is an extremely strong woman in an impossible situation of saving her thieving mother from unknown circumstances. She is a woman with a sense of morality unlike her parents. This causes a conundrum for her because she hasn't been around her mother in a long time, but she feels obligated to save her. Raised to be resourceful like her mom and dad she is called upon to use skills taught to her when she was a child.
Gabriel St. James, Duke of Langford is worried about his brother and gets caught up unwilling in Amanda's drama. Their meeting intrigues him and since he always gets what he wants he continues to pursue her against all her protesting. As the story progresses the reader will see there is more to him than meets the eye.
Throughout the book the reader is taken on a lively hunt to find select items required to save Amanda's mom and the reader will be puzzled with WHY. More importantly is the development of the relationship and the steamy love scenes between Gabriel and Amanda. Throughout reading this book it is emphasized that the relationship is temporary, and it kept me quite emotional because they really were perfect for each other.
I give this book 4 STARS for dealing with maternal love not deserved, living in integrity and making decisions based on caring and love not based on what society dictates.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
