See all formats and editions

She wakes up in the arms of the one man she can never have...but is helpless to resist. Can their forbidden love survive all that threatens them?

Lady Maria has always done as she is told – until the former Diamond of the First Water faces a husband of unspeakable cruelty and escapes out a window and into the night, saved by the physician who affects her as no other man has.

When Lady Maria shows up on his doorstep, injured, frightened, and alone, Dr. Hudson Lewis cannot help but look after her – even if it means sacrificing his heart to resist temptation. For he, a duke’s bastard, will never be good enough for a woman like Lady Maria – especially after he has been accused of murdering his father.

To protect Maria, Hudson must set aside his pride and turn to his half-siblings, the Remingtons, for help. When danger threatens, they are all at risk, and must work together to stay safe and determine who is pursuing them. Will Hudson and Maria’s hearts be able to withstand all that is against them?

This steamy Regency romance series is best read in order.

Ellie has always loved reading, writing, and history.  For many years she has written short stories, non-fiction, and can hardly believe that she is now living out her dream writing historical romance.

 In every era there is the chance for romance, and Ellie enjoys exploring many different time periods, cultures, and geographic locations. No matter when or where, love can always prevail.  She has a particular soft spot for the bad boys of history, and can't help but write of strong, feisty heroines.

Ellie and her husband love nothing more than spending time at home with their two sons and Husky cross. Ellie can typically be found at the lake in the summer, pushing the stroller all year round, and, of course, with her computer in her lap or a book in hand.

Maria & Hudson were wonderful & Delightful characters.

I am hoping we find out who has been threatening the family in the next & last book in this series.
I am looking forward to reading Prudenc's story.

Married to the Enemy; 3.5 stars

This plot had potential. But the author chose to avoid the emotional drama that would have created more suspense, poignancy, and ultimately more connectedness to the main characters.

Spoiler alert, though it occurs in the first chapter.

In short, we learn from the accusations of a maid in the villain’s household that he is a very bad man who enjoys hurting women for sexual gratification. The villain himself confirms this accusation by bringing a riding crop to the wedding night. But he conveniently realizes last minute he must relieve himself before sexually abusing his new bride leaving her with the opportunity to flee out a window before the marriage is consummated.

If this were a RomCom, I could understand avoiding the dark realities of the underlying plot, but there wasn’t a funny bone in this installment. Instead, too-convenient remedies are the theme to developing the plot.

The writer is talented, and most will likely enjoy the journey, though some of you might feel like you missed some important destinations along the way as I did.

I will say that the teaser for the next book has me hooked. I hope that the characters as presented in the first chapter are given the rich character development they deserve.

How to get out of trouble…not easily!

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023

Wow! How Maria and Hudson got out of the mess they got into was a testament to how well this author writes! After reading the first couple of chapters, it was clear to me this was not going to be an easy task. I loved how this sweet, obedient daughter took steps to get herself out of the mess her parents put her in and though not strong, she learned to be. Hudson’s journey was not easy for him as well and it was good to see his growth and maturity within the Remington clan. Grandma, as always , is a hoot. There is a trigger to this story, but not spelled out, so it should not be a problem . The cliffhanger still hangs on, but soon to be resolved! Enjoy the ride!

Beautiful story!

Another clue to the mystery is found in this wonderful story of Maria and Hudson. A peek of their attraction was seen in the last book. Maria needs to marry to save her family. Her parents marry her off to a horrible titled man. Just as he comes to her with a riding crop she escapes! She is brought to the physician, Hudson. Here the love story truly begins! Secrets, fire, and seduction make this a book I couldn’t put down!
I received an ARC of this book and this is an honest review.

After Lady Maria is passed over by the Duke of Warwick, her parents marry her off to Lord Dennison, who turns out to be a sexual sadist. Warned by maids, she flees on her wedding night.

Dr. Hudson Lewis felt drawn to Maria the first time he saw her, but knew he would never be accepted by the her society parents. When she is brought to him after being found injured, he treats her and keeps her hidden for her safety.

The investigation into who is threatening the Remington family continues. Some suspects are eliminated, but other possibilities, including Lord Dennison, come to light.

Wonderful story with twists

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

We notice the attraction of Maria and Hudson in the previous books. The story takes a turn I didn't expect and had twists and turns throughout. We are a little closer to determining who is after the Duke but not a lot of progress. The love Maria and Hudson have for one another lead them on a chase for happiness.

Fate, Perseverance and Love

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022

Maria and Hudson's story does not follow your typical boy meets girl. It deals with some deep issues, arson and lots of emotions. What these two go through to be together is probably hard for anyone to go through and come out with a positive outlook. But they do and in the end the better for it. I read this story for an honest review.

Bumped it to a 4

This was a nice read. Sort of a bridge to the final book and end of story.
Little angst in the beginning and end.
Heat - 3
The bloodthirsty me wanted the villain to be dragged along the street by a raging bull. Spit on and flogged by all the “young maidens” he molested.
Ok. It really was a nice read.

The Clue of the Brilliant Bastard

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2022

I loved this book. It is the third series of Remingtons of the Regency. It tells the story of Hudson and Maria. Maria’s parents arranged a marriage between Maria and Lord Bradley Dennison.
Whom they thought was a kind, respectable Lord.
He was in fact a very cruel man and slapped Maria in the carriage from the wedding breakfast to his home.
Once they arrived at his home she was sent to undress and she wanted nothing to do with him.
He arrived at their bedroom and then decided he wanted to use the toilet, so when he was gone she jumped from the bedroom window, to the garden. But in jumping she hurt her ankle. But run she did.
She couldn’t find where a family friend lived but ran on and on until she fell in the road, where a very kind man picked her up and took her to another family friend who was a Doctor. Who welcomed her in and took care of her injuries. The cruel man (husband)
Was looking for her, but she was tucked up in the Doctors bed. Safe and secure.
Much trial went on throughout the book and I really didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed it very much
And the family friend and her big family helped Maria when the horrid husband came looking for her.
I believe Mrs St Clair will be publishing book 4 later this year, and I am really looking forward to this..
Such a colourful and interesting and worrying book.
I have enjoyed reading each one of them.
Kind regards. Marilyn
