When she meets the hero, she finds the place where she actually can be her truest self. She is growing beyond the bounds of the aristocratic world while yearning to be part of it. In fact, I think what is probably the big set up in the story is a drag on this story because I was more interested in the secrets yet to be revealed than the romance here.įelicity is an interesting character. I believe the set up of the overarching story has definite possibilities.
The seedy side of London and the aristocratic world are combined in interesting ways.
On the positive side, I really connected with the world that MacLean has chosen to explore.
I enjoyed this book, but because it feels like the first book in the series which is setting up relationships and because there is much unresolved at this book, it doesn’t feel complete. Her characters have complex emotional lives and the emotion is strong and deep in the relationship. OPINION: MacLean has a deeply emotional and dramatic style of writing that I always enjoy. A bastard and the king of the dangerous streets of London, Devil intends to use Felicity for his own purposes to destroy his enemy, but Felicity might be Devil’s own downfall. A mysterious and dangerous man, Devil, comes to Felicity and promises that he will make all her dreams come true - for a price. Impulsively, she claims to be engaged to the catch of the season - a reclusive duke. THE STORY: Lady Felicity Faircloth keenly feels the loss of her social position. There is clearly an overarching storyline so this book misses a complete resolution. You are no kind of ordinary.”įINAL DECISION: Enjoyable book with an emotional center, but suffers from introducing all the conflicts and thus loses a bit with the couple in this book. “Felicity Faircloth,” he said, “in the few days I’ve known you, I’ve learned one, unimpeachable truth.
