Ratings and reviews

I had read SINLESS, book #2 of The Shaws, prior to FEARLESS, and I needed to read Valentinian Shaw’s story – Darius’ twin. I knew this would be an interesting read, as the family of the Marquess of Strenshall – The Emperors of London – is particular. But nothing had prepared me for what an extraordinary book this is. Unbridled passion, loyalty, drama; this is not fluff, this is the real thing! A fabulous debut to what will be an extraordinary series!

'Fearless' by Lynne Connolly is The First Book in a New Series called "The Shaws". This is the story of Lady Charlotte Engles and Lord Valentinian Shaw. Charlotte and Val have been engaged for a few years. Charlotte has come to the conclusion that he won't every marry her as he never wants to set a date. But Charlotte has been under and overbearing father and her youngest sister that she feels needs protection, Charlotte goes to Val to see about calling their engagement off. They shared a kiss and when Val learns who wants to marry her he knows he can't let Charlotte fall victim to this man. But can he work out his feelings? Loved it! "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

Fantastic read, loved it.
