Ratings and reviews

4 1/2*STARS* Noel Worthington and Gregory Ravencroft are engaged.... or not? Drinking isn't solving Ravenscroft's problem. His family's history doesn't give him the best example of being a good husband. Lady Langdale is a lady who likes to be in control and she controls the lady who gave birth to him, but has never been his mother. She has her own underground operation and likes to exert her power with her thieves and thugs. She wants Ravencroft to betray the Worthington family. He walks a fine line to protect Noel from the evil that he has surrounding him. Noel isn't ready to give up on their happiness and will use seduction as her weapon. Keep up with who is who and their connections to each other. Full of passionate steamy encounters. Heat level 4 I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book via Booksprout

A wonderful addition to this series with some characters continuing that I was so glad to see! The adventure starts right away and runs through a journey filled with intrigue, a fierce passion that cannot be denied, and a lady who know what she wants! As usual, Laura creates her wonderful characters and tells a story not soon forgotten. You don't have to read the first in this series, but I urge you to do so! Don't miss a moment!
