This is the fifth book in the series and the third I’ve read so far. If you haven’t read the third book in the series, Denying the Duke, I suggest you do so before jumping into this one. The villain from book three left behind a daughter, Lady Elizabeth Munro. After his deeds were exposed, Lizzie fled with the help of a friend and became a governess under the alias of Lizzie Moore.
When her employers cousin, the dashing Lord Hawkins, visits, Lizzie is terrified he might recognize her from their one dance during her first season. Hawk is drawn to Lizzie immediately, but doesn’t remember her outside of her current position. Lizzie relaxes a little, but an attempt on her life sends both her and Hawk’s lives into an intertwined spiral that won’t stop until a traitor is found.
Hutton takes us on another journey into romance and peril. Hawk is dynamic but flawed, making him more real than your average hero. Lizzie is incredibly resilient after all that Hutton puts her through. Hutton puts Lizzie through her paces as she struggles to survive falling in love while fighting for her life.
You know how people sometimes scream at the TV? I was screaming at this book at times when Hutton threw one curve ball after another. But you know I loved it and I’m sure the historical romance lover in you will too!
I received this book for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
