The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan

The Countess Conspiracy (Brothers Sinister, #3)

by Courtney Milan

Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he's not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he's outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He's desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised--and he laughs through it all.

Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, is entirely respectable, and she'd like to stay that way. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous, one that ties her irrevocably to England's most infamous scoundrel: Sebastian's theories aren't his. They're hers.

So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long conspiracy, she'll do anything to save their partnership...even if it means opening her vulnerable heart to the rake who could destroy it for good.

Courtney Milan has crazy skills!!!

I really enjoyed this story and it was the best in this series in my opinion. First off, I absolutely loved the authors notes at the end of the story about the history of women in science and how many were probably not acknowledged for their work.

Both Violet and Sebastian were so lovable, when in the previous books I didn't particularly like them. It was great to get to know the 'real' them and how they got to be the people they were. A few times in the story, I struggled with near tears for the way they were treated by the ones who supposedly loved them.

My favourite part of the story was Sebastian's love and support for Violet. It gave me warm and gushy feelings and now I want my hubby to tell me he adores me just like Sebastian said it.

Really enjoyed this story and I will definitely be reading more from this author.
