Ratings and reviews

Lady Olivia Beauchamp may be a debutante but she’s also used to manipulating her brothers & so she finds herself at Vauxhall Gardens & in a pickle, she not only loses her late mother’s ruby necklace but finds herself surrounded by a group of men. Luckily for her she’s rescued by rakish bachelor Lord Hugo Alastair, Olivia is secretly outraged that he doesn’t even try to steal a kiss! He’s a notorious rake amongst the ton and as a result, utterly forbidden to an innocent debutante like her. But their attraction is magnetic. Hugo decides to keep a close eye on Olivia & her brother Alex as both are in danger. A well written entertaining book. The characters have depth & are likeable. Hugo is the misunderstood rake who had a horrid father but has now grown up & is forging a new & better life, he’s very likeable & his attraction to Olivia is well handled. Olivia is the spoilt Duke’s daughter who puts on a brave face but she reminded me of a swan cool, poised above the water but pedalling like mad under the water. She’s very attracted to Hugo but starts to feel he’s not interested in her. Although the story was a well used trope, it flowed well & kept my interest all the way through. The secondary characters were also well portrayed & I hope Alex has his story. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
