Helpful Score: 2
Widow Temperance Dews is trying to find a patron for her family's foundling home which has fallen on hard times. She is approached by Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, with a proposition. Caire is hunting for a murderer and needs her help navigating the slum she knows like the back of her hand. In exchange for her help, he will introduce her to members of society so she can find a patron for the orphanage. Together Temperance and Caire find themselves in danger when the murderer strikes again.
I have not had much luck picking historical romances lately, but this one was a winner. There is so much going on in this book. Temperance has a secret from her past that she knows will ruin her. Caire has a hard time showing any type of emotion, and doesn't like anyone touching him. There are some fantastic secondary characters in this book, including Temperance's brother, Winter, her youngest sister, Silence, Caire's best friend, Godric, and the mysterious Ghost of St. Giles. The story kept interested. I didn't want to put this book down and will be continuing the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
