Can they let the past go ...
It has been a while since I have read this author, the usual too many books to read and not time enough. Why I decided to not let this upcoming pass by me without reading it.
And I am glad I did it.
It is much different from the novellas I last read, first it is a full length story, second it is with more mature characters.
Chastity thought she married for love, but what a sixteen year old truly knows about love. She soon discovered only her breeding, beauty were an asset in her husband’s eyes.
Left widowed rather young, she now enjoys her single status and has no plan to marry again an put her self respect under someone else thumb. Plus she is quite proud of the work she does for their investigation society, as she is not one to sit idly.
Valentine is quite the recluse, he has forsaken society a long time ago, unable to forgive the gossip mongers their cruel hearsay and what it pushed his father to do. He is a simple man of simple needs and is back in the city only because he can’t refuse a Duke’s invite.
They meet, well they clash upon their first encounter. On the same night, Valentine’s nephew is found dead, a supposed suicide and the blame points toward Chastity’s half sister.
To restaure her sister’s reputation, Chastity sees not other way than instigating it under a maid’s disguise.
This was a fun read, with a lady not afraid of hard work and a grumbling Earl who is more bark than bite. Their chemistry scorches the pages, yet their past still stand between them, between her bad marriage and his secrets, they are oft at loss about what they feel and how to act about.
