robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2118 more book reviews


Kidnapped by the evil Lords of Chaos to be used as a sacrifice, Lady Iris Jordan shoots one of the masked men when he puts her in his carriage. She didn't know that he was Raphael de Chartres, the Duke of Dyemore, and that he was trying to rescue her. Raphael had infiltrated the Lords of Chaos to discover the identity of the new Dionysus and take him out. Now both he and Iris are targets of the group, so Raphael decides to marry her to keep her safe.

This is the last full-sized novel in the Maiden Lane series. This story is one of the darker stories in the series. It deals with Raphael overcoming his past as a victim of sexual abuse. Iris was the perfect mate for Raphael. Believing her was not good enough for her, he would push Iris away. She would push right back at him, not letting him wallow in misery.

I forgot to add that I was once again upset with the publisher. When you have a hero whose face is badly scarred, why do you put a good looking hot guy on the cover? Didn't they read the book?

This book was a nice addition to the series. I'm looking forward to reading the novellas in hopes we revisit some of my favorite couples. My rating: 4 Stars.
