The Viscount, Lord Andrew Worthington, stands on the wrong side of a pistol. Drew’s problem had always been his deep adoration for women, in all their varieties. It was just a matter of time before he found himself in deep trouble. Being murdered in cold blood, however, went beyond his worst imaginings. But moments before certain death, he is rescued by the scourge of London’s elite, the infamous Creeping Bandit.
Lady Dove Barrow could have cursed the rake straight to Hades. But even though he’s spoiled her night’s mission, even though he no doubt deserves it, and even though she will be risking her own neck, Dove cannot abide murder.
As repayment for her good deed, Drew vows to help her with her mission. Little does he know how far it will take them.
My review:
Set on a path for revenge, what a young woman to do when she meets a man soothing balm on her wounded soul…
This is my second read by Mrs Micki Miller, so when I saw this new release, I had to read it.
Lord Andrew Worthington meets his epiphany when faced with his imminent death, he realizes he has lived a life of indulgence and debauchery and done nothing. Having no legacy to leave behind might something befall on him. So when given a second chance thanks to a surprising intervention, he vows to right the wrong he had done by following a path of laziness.
Lady Pearl Barrow leads a double life, the respectful one of a debutante attending parties and the secret one as a house-breaker looking for proofs while visiting peers’ houses at night.
She is a very stubborn miss, determined on her path and even love will hardly be able to sway her from her chosen course.
If I am not sure of the soundness of the heroine’s plan as point at one time Drew but it gave the heroes the right opportunity to work together and fall in love.
This story is filled with funny banters between the characters, exchanging barbs and quips.
Drew is first to realize the profoundness of his feelings, but he will have the rug pulled out from him as she sees him at first more for the cad he was than the man he is willing to become for her. But he can be as determined as her to prove her love is worth everything.
Never he gives up, he is set of winning her, even when deceit lurks in the shadows, he knows he has meet the one woman for him and nothing will tear them apart, not even her relentless thirst for revenge.
I loved there is no at length musings about the impossibility of their love affair, sure, there are many obstacles but if they are willing and Drew is convinced he can find a way for them both.
4.5 stars for this lovely story of faith and trust.
Now I wish for Derek Durham, the Marquis of Durnhaven to get his own story.
I wonder what is Pearl’s grandfather’s title or ascendance as he is called a Lord.
I was granted an advance copy by the publisher The Wild Rose Press through Netgalley, I purchased my own.
Here is my true and unbiased opinion.
