A man of such dubious reputation…
that he was called Devil Blackbourne!
When Lord Deveril Blackbourne meets Selina Wynter, he is intrigued. For she has all the accomplishments of a lady, but the fiery temper and spirit of a tavern maid! Then she is abducted by a dastardly suitor, and Deveril—for all his roguish reputation— can’t stand idly by…
Lord Deveril is Selina’s least likely rescuer, but when they’re stranded together in a snowstorm and her reputation is at risk, he surprises her with a gallant proposal! Deveril’s no honourable suitor, yet his actions say otherwise…
Just who is the real Devil Blackbourne? Selina’s determined to find out!
A Five Star Read
I really enjoyed this story. The characters are fresh and brilliantly executed.
It’s just such a satisfying romance to read. I loved the dynamic between Selina and Deveril—he has that classic rakish reputation, but there’s clearly more to him, which makes him really appealing as a hero.
Selina is just as strong in her own way, and I liked that she could hold her own. Their relationship has that nice balance of tension and warmth, and it’s easy to get invested in them.
It has all the elements you want from this kind of book, but it never feels overdone—just a really enjoyable, well-written romance you can sink into.
*engaging, likeable characters
* strong romantic chemistry
*classic feel without being too heavy
