review 1: My first read with this author and I've already started on the second book. I love historical romances and I looked forward to seeing if My Evans would be added to my faves. Glad to say, she was added. At first, it was a little slow to get to the action, but once we got through the mutual attraction that each of the hero/heroine wasn't aware that the other felt it was smooth sailing. The physical description of the scars on Christian made me wince at times such was the author's ability to be precise without becoming morbid. We begin with our hero, Lord Markham, an Adonis come down to earth, returning from the battle at Waterloo, shunned by the same society who once worshipped him, he now has to pay for his pleasure. During one of his forays, he's accused of a heinous cri... moreme against a debutante. Forced to flee, he vows to return to England and clear his name. Lady Serena Castleton, daughter of a duke and a beauteous debutante, is literally "sold" in marriage to settle her father's numerous gambling debts. She finds out the hard way, that her marriage is no fairy-tale as he subjects her to heinous acts of depravity. Knowing she has to escape or die, she makes a break for freedom and answers an add for a governess to Lord Markham's ward..Lily. The author skillfully takes us on the journey back to England which is not without it's dangers. Lily cannot allow him to know who she really is especially since she has loved him from afar for as long as she can remember. The emotions that are evident between these two are so steamy as to make one blush. You can almost envision being an actual witness as they fight to protect each other, Christian from whomever wants to ruin him and Serena from a man bent on reclaiming his property. With friends who stand by them, Ms. Evans takes you on an enjoyable ride and lets you peek into the world of the titled and wealthy. A delightful read and I definitely recommend reading the follow up as it's a true "Who done it" Only time and cunning will allow them to outwit their enemy.
review 2: This was an amazing book! I loved it! The disgraced hero, the torn shell of a man, the beautiful, smart woman who loves him. This sad, sad story was heart wreching yet wonderful. I couldn't put it down! A lovely story that isn't your average marry for a title story. The depth of these characters and those around them, builds a great book! I'm already dying for the next story in this series! Well written, sinfully sexy and just a fabulous read! This is my new favorite Historical I've read in the last few years~! less
