I can't seem to stop reading this series. I like the story line and all of the characters in each book. I especially like that the characters are involved in some way in each book as the story progresses. The time period is is 1740, but it reads more like Regency. I guess the dialog is not true to the era so each period bleeds into the next. The one thing that is confusing to me is the story that is told at the first of every chapter. Sometimes I can see how they relate and others I have no clue. Recommend

Oh, Elizabeth Hoyt, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your writing. Your stories are fascinating and the characters have stolen my heart.
I closed this book with a satisfied sigh and smiled. This is the 5th story in the Maiden Lane series and there are hundreds of reviews already on this story in particular. I won't waste time writing out the plot or what happens or with whom. All I need to say is for you to read this. You won't regret it. The storyline was superbly thrilling and exciting. It's one heck of a read.

Lady Margaret St. John has two reasons for returning to London. She has vowed to kill the Ghost of St. Giles, the mysterious adventurer who murdered her lover. She will do anything to avenge his death. Megs has also returned because she wants a baby, and knows for that to happen she will need the help of her husband, Godric St. John, the man she hasn't seen since their wedding day. Godric is shocked when his wife shows up unexpectedly. His marriage of convenience to Megs starts to get complicated when she tells him she wants a baby. Godric had vowed celibacy after the death of his first wife. But the more he is around Megs, the more he begins to rethink his vow. There is nothing to stand in the way of happiness except for the fact that he is the Ghost of St. Giles.
This is the fifth book in the Maiden Lane series. The Ghost is once again saving young girls from the Lassie Snatchers. Right on his heels are the Dragoons led by Captain James Trevillion. As soon as he outwits the men trying to bring him in, he is facing a gun that is held by his wife. This is an entertaining book with very likable characters. I'm looking forward to the next installment in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
